Huh. That definitely looks like five bucks worth of game. More than, really, but five bucks for everything except borderlands is, uh. Pretty solid. Most of the sub-15 stuff looks like they'd probably be worth it alone at that price point, nevermind all in one go.

I do remember being interested in DSD in particular at some point. The energy thing was indeed offputting but I got ways to just deal with annoying mechanics like that. Cheat engine, mostly.

Not caring about your prospective users to the point of doing damn stupid design like that probably does have pretty good odds of being pushed by racism, mind. Like, you're probably not going to try to peddle using that kind of thing on someone you think isn't subhuman to some degree. There's other options, but considering the actors involved... it's pretty high  up there in terms of potential motivating factors.

Conceptually could be other sorts of bigotry, or just peak capitalism shitting on people who can't do much to influence the market. The question would be if there's any other sector using those messed up things, or are they specifically being inflicted on ICE captives and whatnot?

What flaming dumbass decided that was a good idea to begin with, anyway? Like, everything else about this aside, who had the bright idea to pointedly combine "thing you drink or wash with" with "thing you piss or shit in", and what galaxy brained idiot subsequently gave the go-ahead to produce and install it?

I'll do you one better

Why is everyone?
Something

At some point

Fucked.

E: Though to the thread title, grindingly miserable brought on by trying and failing to adequately take care of the grandparents that have been functionally near abandoned by the rest of the family, as they steadily lose cognitive capability and my body steadily breaks down. I basically drown myself in reading and other idle pursuits in order to temporarily stave off the constant droning awareness I'm fucking myself over far into the future in order to barely juggle the ball the rest of my family is dropping, stuck in a fucking shithole of a town I hate with great intensity, that at this point I'll probably never leave due mostly because of who else it would fuck over and substantially because I'm probably too fucked up to manage a substantial relocation, due in no small part to how utter and complete fucking shit US welfare et al is. I've got another thirty or so years of steady or increasing misery followed by suicide as a retirement plan, made palatable only by small pleasures I've mostly convinced myself will be sufficient to get by on.

Being among the american poor fucking sucks. Sucks giant donkey balls.

Unless you get a decent wave machine going or somethin'. Pretty sure folks have surfed lakes before. People do things like that half just as a 'fuck you' to the limits of the natural world, heh. Cue the AI overlord making Dwarf Fortress the Real Game out of the ashes of the human species.

I mean... would it? Do the applicable procedures refer to the president being dead, or do they specify at the point the POTUS dies? 'Cause the president can't die in office if they're dead before they're elected.

I mean, is there anything actually stopping us from electing a dead person as POTUS?

Sounds good, conflicted on the lyrics? I feel that every time I listen to Killieburn Brae. Like, it ends with the line, "Which proves that the women are worse than the men, when they go down to hell they are thrown out again."

But it's basically a song about some old granny being took to hell and then promptly going Son Wukong on its collective ass, which is kinda' awesome.

More like produce something he'd call a harambe rap, butchering the pronunciation and probably having no resemblance whatsoever to one. Let's not ascribe more competency to the man than displayed.

... what about going out of your way to climb the building like a monkey because you're trying to loot everything to the ground? Some of us do that, y'know. I once cleaned out morrowind's starting town in its entirety. Stole and sold literally everything that wasn't in a NPC's inventory (and some things that were, iirc. Think you had to murder some people to get at everything...). It's good to know there's a stalker equivalent :P

Seems to me the real trick to this NI thing is to just use NI and let other people read it how they want to, heh. Less letters, too, so it saves both time and effort!

Would never be a problem if magic were fucking real. :P)
You'd hope, but even with fiction I've seen people touch on how wrong that could be. Imagine bugfixing and typos when errors could turn you into a chicken, or self-animate and walk off with whatever you're doing. Misplace a semicolon and letter golems jump out and try to shank you. In some ways it'd probably be pretty rad but in others things would probably be much, much worse than we deal with the our own tech base.

Pretty sure that came up in the wtf thread, or something? Shonus, iirc, noted it's more or less literal heresy.

It's not invisible, just dark. Darkling background is brown, so black text is readable, it's just kind of a nuisance. More to the point, I don't think I've ever seen them use black font, even when making a joke or whatev'.
