It... okay. Was sort of a RPG-like thing. Every character is a tile -- y'know, sorta' like a scabble tile -- and your party (which can get quite sizable) constantly moves to the right. There's bosses, and I'm fairly sure you could purchase enemy tiles as you move along. There were mages (which, iirc, came in elemental flavors), archers, various melee critters, healers... pretty expansive cast of critters. Blazes if I can remember when it came out. Some point post-2000, but when, I have no clue.

E: Nevermind, google-fu dug it up. I was looking for Battle of Tiles.

That was beautiful.

Well, they can't just not report it at all, as much as that would be ideal.

*scratches head* Why not? Plenty of major news media groups don't report on stuff considerably more important than relatively isolated executions (See: US news media and basically anything having to do with south america, most anything to do with white slavery/general flesh trade, etc., so forth, so on.).

... yeah, you could do with taking to tl;dr part out, because I honestly kinda' want to say horrible things to you, at this point.

I don't know about other people, but I'd generally say if you're still "bucking up and mourning" after over a fucking decade, it's not time to mourn, it's time to see a shrink. Shit is beyond unhealthy.

And while thousands is technically correct, it would be more accurate to note "tens of". Death toll in iraq alone is pegged at 150k on the low end, with projected ultimate cost in life on the high end of over half a fucking million. If anything "invalidates" 9/11, it's the fuckoff huge atrocity the US helped engender afterwards.* Some old fellow on a xenophobic high was just a rage point, just like anyone else claiming that the slaughter of thousands upon thousands of children and tens of thousands more other civilians was anything but an absolute atrocity would be.

But no, people definitely did "say a god damn thing" about not sending troops when the tragedy was still fresh. And the years after. This isn't "privilege to look back" this is "has been screaming this whole goddamn time it was a mistake." Not the least for me, anyway.

*Hint: It doesn't. Time invalidates 9/11, because it's long past the point of moving on.

... better one person coding ostensibly poorly and getting something done than a dozen talking about improvement and getting nothing done >_>

Also called: Possibly one of the reasons the code hasn't been open sourced. I'd personally prefer any commentary on coding practices to be withheld unless specifically asked for by Duke. Even with the best of intentions behind it, getting harangued about your code without it being invited is something of a pain in the ass. Let us not annoy the person getting shit done, yeah?

Incidentally, since this is the first time I've posted since the dev showed up, cheers, dev. Looking forward to the UI update. Refraining from suggestions until that comes about, heh, but even with the UI being what it is I've definitely enjoyed what I've seen so far.

Generally I get along pretty well with m'step father. Bit of a conservative fellow, but generally has his heart in the right place, and has been damn good for my mother, over all.

When he calls at nine in the morning to remind me of the colossal inhuman fuckup that came after the event that happened too fucking long ago to care about -- that I wouldn't even have remembered, if the gods were merciful and that call hadn't happened -- and then go on some fucking xenophobic bullshit spiel about how 1/3rd of the human race is irredeemably evil and should be killed, is not one of those times.

It's very goddamn rare I'll actually hang up on a non-telemarketer. Someone trying to tell me the tens of thousands of civilian deaths that have resulted from american fuckups in the middle east was justified is one of those occasions. I did not want to be this pissed off this morning.

Don't most cartoon/animation/every style have that problem to a fair degree? I hear the same complaints about western comics...
