Would the afterlife suffer from scarcity, though?

I'm going to buy a social vacuum cleaner soon.
I prefer just using my social roomba.

It just wanders around the room, doing the socializing for you?

Did you remember to feed the cats? I told you to feed them thrice daily! Where are they? What did you do with them? Where are the cats?

And why is the rum gone?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: What's a good way to punish a dwarf?

dump him in a cavern you haven't explored yet and see what fun stuff he finds

Interesting points all around.  Answer me this; Minecraft.  I can mod the zombies to look like Elves.  I can install a 128x texture pack with dynamic shadows and full anti-aliasing effects.  The game looks genuinely gorgeous.  Then I can build a bridge atop a magma pit, controlled by a lever, and watch from my balcony as the 'Elves' attempt to attack me and are plunged to a fiery doom.  Why don't I gain anywhere near the amount of satisfaction as I would from the same actions in DF?

Because DF will tell you exactly how well the elves are melting in the magma, down to near clinical detail.  And corpses, blood, and miasma tend to persist rather than the elves poofing into neat little stacks of rotten meat.

Also minecraft zombies typically don't nag you for punching one too many trees, and bringing metric tonnes of semi useless cloth each month rather than cool caged lions and bears.  some of it is just release from their bullcrap.

You can break any dwarf and make them "not care about anything anymore" with enough effort.  That said, they typically aren't naturally this way.

Although their main way of dealing with negative emotions is through violence, which often only begets more violence, until the whole fort is in riots.

Most of the sadism results from the player, but to be fair the combat in this game is graphic and relentless.

each map was like three times as big, with a lot more vehicles, no?

I always imagined Black Friday as an arena deathmatch sort of thing, like a free-for-all one-flag CTF thing. Rush to the particular item before an NPC or other player grabs in, then dogpile onto them as they try to take it back to the register.

Its like Supermarket Sweep

But everyone goes at the same time

And the shopping carts are armed like Mad Max or something

It occurs to me that I have to pick between Hotline Miami 2 or Undertale for game of the year

Is it just me, or is picking a hard carry (spectre, antimage, that kind of thing) in an unranked pub the kiss of death for your team?

In my experience what kills my team is the enemy picking rikki
Always spam "need wards" or "call missing" in chat on every death.

I feel that's the big problem with him.  Either your team pays the ward tax or it loses, and that choice arises as soon as he's in the match.   Its just a massive noob trap.

Its not really like other carries where you go out of the way to gank them or something to stop them.  Its just "did you spend x gold for these items" and rikki is done for.

I had an old copy, but went ahead and got the steam version.  Got the tellurian mod as well.

Made an army that is half serious half goofy.  On one hand I have useful stuff like building destroyers, camo frogs, and defensive immune herding bug/boars, and on the other I have flying sharks because screw you, they're flying sharks.

In other news, I got an extra thing when I bought something from a snack vending machine today.
What was it?

My Snickers bar came with a pack of Sour Patch Kids

"I don't mind if people call me blind. Because I'm blind."

He may be blind, but he can still see through people's bullcrap.
