@jplebreton @radiatoryang it's always so shocking to me that they just keep making games with the same exact L4D enemy mechanics. like, change just one thing, come on you can do it.

Sludge Life 2 is just as good as Sludge Life. both a masterclass in small scale open world building

i was going to say that the completely hypothetical scenario of a gay couple forcing a homophobic fundamentalist to make their wedding website is absurd, but it would actually be so funny that i can totally see people doing it

@tealtan why not both

firefox started randomly freezing and after switching away from chrome for 4 years, it looks like i might have to go back :(

the only AR device I want is the lady from MGSV saying "sun will set shortly" into my ear when the sun is set to set shortly

making fun of people dying a slow terrifying death at the bottom of the ocean is fucking gross no matter how rich they are

@selfsame looks like a gyrocopter

@nasser also just for the record, I don't think any of it is a good idea, but i think that because i think hierarchy is actually good in a system built on trust :)

@nasser it seems similar because blockchain consensus is also people reaching a threshold consensus on changes to a database. it's just adversarial because of the public nature of the ledger, which solves the central authority issue you were mentioning and proof of work is just one approach.

also not sure what you mean by 'pressure on a single actor to outcompete others' and why 'no need for global consensus' in what you're thinking. isn't there always some sort of quorum threshold?

@nasser ok just really sounds like blockchain consensus :)

@nasser is that different from blockchain consensus?
