@hipsterelectron i think the best underline for your point would be a wiki article on IA failures

entering that age where i'm slowly transitioning from having opinions to just staring at walls

quoth the raven "yes, white subculture is racist, but not having white subculture is also racist, because it suggests white culture is normative and therefore not to be subcultured." ok but actual white subculture is a mess because it wants to be normative. so now we need an alternative white subculture that knows its place and shuts up about it and celebrates its non-colonialist white holidays like idk the rewe ja! brand awareness day, or blank page syndrome day or smth

@sinbad ah yes, reiner knizia, the todd howard of german board games

@sinbad hah perfect 🇬🇧🇩🇪 crossover

@sinbad BEANS!

@EUCommission i always preferred "IN VARIETATE CONCORDIA" over "E PLURIBUS UNUM". i thought that is what makes us better than the US; because even striving for union can be excessive.

my favorite line from beethoven's 9th symphony is "oh freunde, nicht diese töne / sondern lasset uns freudenvollere anstimmen"

companies pay youtube to show ads, and we pay youtube to not show ads

@sinbad @TomF i guess i peaked with infinifactory

@sinbad @TomF alright, since 1.0 is out i'll give it another try. installing. :)

@TomF @sinbad as last time i had a creature bother me while i was desperately working towards the zapper

@TomF @sinbad it was a little more than that. the beast blocked me from using the station. i had to build a second one on a nearby hill. it took an hour of working around the problem while feeling entirely helpless. it's ok if it happens later. but this happening in the chokepoint within the first 60 minutes of the game, with the game not acknowledging this is happening, and locking the solution too far up the tree, is not a good look, esp if the bug is as old as the first early access release

@TomF @sinbad that was the closest point where iron could be found (~200m near the drop point). i only did what the game told me to do.

@TomF @sinbad i now have a iron miner feeding a iron ingot smelter feeding a rod constructor except the rod constructor refuses to pick up any of the ingots on the conveyor belt. there is power. it works when i feed it manually. but otherwise it is stuck. it won't make anything else iron ingot based either.

aha. i had to demolish and reconstruct the conveyor belt. why? who knows. amazing 1.0 release.

@kojack @TomF @sinbad amazing.

anyway. i'm now set up to build the space elevator. all it takes is gathering dry shrubs until i'm blue in the face.

oh wait, i can develop towards a chainsaw.

@kojack @TomF @sinbad finally the biofuel is buying me some time to mess around.

my first useless action was to funnel all resources into a single container. it is incredibly inefficient, but clears itself up when the power goes out ;)

@dalias @chort @wdormann as a good C librarian it better should be your duty to believe that this take of mine is irresponsible.

@chort @wdormann i'm a software engineer. if i were considering at every point how any of my designs could be used to produce malicious behavior, then i would cease to be a software engineer and instead work in infosec.

@sinbad @artificialmind @TomF you say that like it's a bad thing :)

@artificialmind @sinbad @TomF yeah i keep mentioning astroneer as positive example that it's possible to do something else in this space.
