  • Nobody is answering the prompt lol. Everyone says all of this shit all the time.

    You live long enough to never feel at home. Sure the loneliness sucks or whatever, but who do you root for at the football game?

    Having to buy new shoes for the rest of eternity. You know how much work I’ve literally just put into finding shoes that 1) don’t suck and 2) aren’t made with slave labor? It’s impossible. Drives me insane. I’d found my own shoe company once I become immortal rich just to fix that problem alone. Maybe other stuff too we’ll get there

    I suppose on that note: it seems like a really bad idea to become a public figure after a while. Like you obviously don’t want your immortality found out. You have to have like illuminati power before that point though, but it could happen at any time. Like if something happens and you become a news item (i.e. helping someone out and a video goes viral online). Not saying everyone is all that close to going viral, but over a sufficiently long lifespan you’re effectively rolling that dice a lot.







  • No shade to OP. Something like this isn’t likey to trip BS alarms unless youre already aware of how big this should be. and it’s the kinda thing that isn’t sexy enough to grab public attention, which lends some credence.

    like, I read a headline like, “FUSION MAKES POWER NOW, FUSION POWER PLANTS EXPECTED NEXT YEAR” and I know it’s BS. But part of that is the way it promises to affect your life, and it does do in terms of Fusion, which enough people would recognize so as to make their eyeballs valuable.

    This article has neither of those really. So yeah. No shade.

    (Edit: guess the words “magical equation” is a pretty quick tip off too lol)

    Reminder that the 30% steam tax is absolutely greed. Gabe is a libertarian and charges it because he can get away with it. It makes games worse by affecting the equation measuring what is profitable to make. Gabe doesn’t care about that, and that should be taken into account when considering if you actually trust him.








  • Look if someone’s having a bad time, it don’t cost much to throw em a bone. Like sure, that last attack killed them a round early because everyone has had a moment to feel proud today but you. Or like the spellcaster who is feeling a bit shitty because every monster has saved against their spells by some fluke today.

    Like if they aren’t having fun, what am I doing here?

    Video games do this shit all the time. Famously the first GoW gave new players a small boost in multiplayer. It led to a community and better engagement in the long run because people had more fun. BG3 has that goofy ‘karmic dice’ system, which is on by default. Fire emblem lies. etc etc




  • Oh god.

    My service went down at timestamp x

    This message looks like a potential root cause and has a lunar origin

    the lunar box reports sending a message to me at timestamp y

    the relay station reports relaying said message from the lunar box at timestamp z

    Can you confirm the lunar message was sent at the right time to have been the cause?

    Do the logs on the lunar box come timestamped with a “helpful” string representation? If they’re in unix epoc, is that time dilation adjusted?

    How do satellites do it, I wonder?
