@SuperDicq immersive panoramic display, can look behind yourself to see more of the game.
actually, 'VR' is so marginally immersive that a walk-in box the size of a weight lifting power tower, completely covered in LCDs, would probably compete very well with VR, although it'd no longer cost about the same. -

When I eat an egg dish, I always enjoy it, and I always eat all of it, and I never immediately want more. I eat the omelette, say "that was good", and move on. There's lots of food like this actually. The normal experience of enjoying food is that it satiates your hunger and you move on.
But there are certain food items that, after I finish eating one, I will immediately seek out another. One slice of pizza? How about an entire pizza? There are snacks like this. And what I've done with such food, for most of my life, is conclude: well, obviously I like that food item, so I should keep buying it and eating it. I would eat food like this, not to satiation, but to the pain of overeating. I got fat off of such food.
So this is a very belated realization, but I think that conclusion is wrong. The conclusion I should've reached is: this food is non-satiating. It's bad food! That impulse to immediately eat another one is not a positive sign, but a red flag for addictive slop. -

@sun I think it's a good life lesson to remember that flies land on good food as well as on rotting food. People will put hours of thought into which nearly-identical product to buy, but then make life-defining decisions based on an 'ick'. -

@sun and it's always been that way, and the underlying idea is still good enough that everyone regrets not jumping on board with such people earlier.
This is an idea that I haven't seen in fiction. Adventures come to town and kids run away with a slippery charismatic guy, or with genuinely good people, or with bad people with bad outcomes. But this is like: a troupe of retarded charlatan priests come to town and everyone mocks them, but the god is real. -

@coolboymew @kaia if you only have pictures of women, then you can get tomboys by asking an ai to find pictures of "young men" in it. -

@lina I don't think this works in general, but tactical irritation ... this needs more study.
Something like that is using a niche programming language to write malware in, so that malware vendors write sloppy signatures that match the language rather than your code, which causes legitimate projects in that language to get flagged for malware. I've seen this done deliberately. -

>avoid pinot noir because that wine movie made it a meme
>finally drink it
it's pretty good.
I gotta stop avoiding stuff just because irritating people like it. -

@jeremiah @noyoushutthefuckupdad I like the map but I hate how prominent Chicago is.
But I also hated how prominent how Chicago was in American politics. I even resented seeing "Americas/Chicago" when selecting a time zone. In that way this map is more accurate than the usual map that shows Chicago is just some larger text. -

I can't go back to Savage 2 or Natural Selection 2 :cirnoShrug:
I'm not nit-picking. Just warning people to spend more time playing games. -

@eemmaa @djsumdog @sun the question I ask is: how dumb does everyone feel now who eschewed Tcl/Tk-like tools because the results "didn't look native"? -

@sickburnbro
>Indian says the US is super rapist
Indian English, man. Using "revert" to mean "reply". Saying "rapist" instead of "racist". "Please do the needful".
Why did the British do this? -

@jeffcliff @ageha @sun
>help them with hospitals
that doesn't happen though. That's the other part of USAID: Chelsea Clinton gets 30 million to keep silent about what she witnessed as a child, and some random Haitian contractors are given money to vaguely shape a pile of garbage into a building, take a single picture of it, and then abandon it to be reclaimed by nature. -

@eriner
>trans underwater basket weaving
your enemies were getting paid. You weren't. Your enemies never had to fear getting cancelled. You did. Your weaker allies could freely betray you and join your enemies on assurance of patronage. The reverse was never the case. Naturally, you were taking loss after loss despite actually having very popular and non-repulsive positions. A lot of this just got blown up. That's an obvious win for you, you actual fucking retard. Be as depressed as you want, but don't so depressed you develop cataracts.
>some money that they made up out of nothing
this is a much dumber statement to make but this is economics so it's a much more understandable dumbness. I can't call you a retard when not knowing this is the standard.
The money they made up out of nothing competes with your money that you earn, bids prices up for goods that you both pursue, and makes your money not go as far. Counterfeiting is pretty bad for the people not connected to the counterfeiter. -

@one @eriner USAID just got blown up. USAID was the Democrat's piggy bank for
1. paying 'independent' media to toe the party line (Politico)
2. paying controlled opposition to control the opposition (Bill Kristol; that new retard that told everyone to go work for Panda Express)
3. paying freaks to agitate constantly for freakishness
4. paying EcoHealth to perform gain of function research in Wuhan to lead to a politically convenient plague
5. paying random traitors and scum and family members of useful serial killers to do nothing (Chelsea Clinton)
and more!
It's not the only such organ, but it's an obviously cancerous tumor and it's getting lanced and that's unambiguously a good thing for anyone who wasn't on its payroll - and for those people as well, in the long run, since it only injected evil into the societies that the people on its payroll still had to live in.
USAID is also quite an interesting target because it's so corrupt while having such an overtly angelic role. Why, it's fighting AIDS in Africa!
6. paying people to pretend that there's an AIDS problem in Africa, and that it isn't only a minor gay disease and that it wasn't only a great killer when Fauci was treating it with poison. -

@authen ELO, Carry vs. Jungler?
The jungler is less dependent on team cooperation to grow so I'd expect an equally skilled jungler to have the higher ELO -

@lina it's a good wish for a guy in despair, or in prison, or in such bad health that he can't think about anything else. -

reincarnation
a. what if, after you die, you live again?
b. what if you were a famous person in the distant past?
c. what if the life you're living now is the life you deserve for your past actions?
d. what if the life you're living now is the life you'd wished for as an improvement on your past circumstances?
These are options but they're also in order of decreasing commonality. I think (d) is the most interesting because it comes with the question: what kind of wish was that, and why would it be made? And trying to answer that question might put you in a perspective to appreciate your life.
