More like shitty quality control heuristics and brute force reiteration development makes for buggy machinery, heh. Wetware's development cycle's only saving graces have been billions of years of operation and the ability to get away with untold trillions of failures. Literally all the corpses isn't something just about anything else could get away with, ha.

Uh. Yeah, to the first bit, NA isn't exactly the world's only commercial market :P The first mystery dungeon was released in Japan in '93, though -- three years (plus a bit) before D1 hit the market. D1 itself apparently wasn't even pitched to blizzard until '95, checking. Came out before Diablo was a twinkle in its devs' eyes.

And yeah, the mystery dungeon was totes influenced so. Was specifically why I mentioned it as a commercial roguelike, ehehe.

There is that, heh.

The mystery dungeon stuff might be the first that did particularly well, though. Stuff's still trucking along to this day, with something like a 20+ game lineage stretching decades. S'kinda' neat, really. Not all the publishers involved toyed around with but it's a niche that managed to find some dosh backed traction.

The point would be to make a commercially-viable, graphical and animated Nethack/Moria clone.
Or to state it differently, to make a (more western) mystery dungeon. Commercial roguelikes were around a good three years before D1 was, heh. Things go back to at least the SNES, possibly earlier.

Ask thineself? Real time or not it's still a rpg/dungeon crawler, and those can be plenty enjoyable.

I'unno, the I-can't-believe-it's-not-perjury thing probably counts as more than just spite, just off the top of my head. Probably a good chunk I'm forgetting. Abet-obstruction-for-me-kun isn't exactly the world's most stellar SCOTUS nom, not that republicans give a flying fuck about silly things like that at this point.

SCOTUS justice (or any judge) seems to be as able to be charged, indicted, etc., as anyone. The specifics of their position makes it fairly unlikely they'll (have the time alone to) do something criminal, but that's about it.

So far as cases that involve a personal stake, I seem to recall a justice is required to recuse themselves from the case. Could swear that actually happened fairly recently with something fairly high stakes, even. An actual conviction might not automatically mean they lose the position, but it's stupidly strong impetus for an impeachment.

E: 'Course, the GOP being what it is, if the guy was confirmed first they probably would stall an impeachment if he was subsequently filmed diddling children, but a criminal conviction of some sort would make it pretty damn unlikely he served until willing retirement a decade or three out.

I still can't get over the fact someone decided naming a Char clone Full Frontal was a good idea. Why, gundam, why.

I have multiple friends in the military, and more than half of them are not on board with Trump. I expect his approval rating is mirrored in the military.
From the last I remember seeing much on it, his approval is decent among the army, fairly high among marines (almost certainly an artifact of mattis, with a non-zero chance of hard flip should something happen to him), and low-ish among air force and navy. Country wide approval isn't mirrored, per se, but it's not all that high, either.

Bruh I loved this game and the not-remake they did for the PSP. I'd love a game like this but where you can manage the whole ludus. I would literally shit myself. It definitely hits everything is want in a gladiator game with the tech available at the time
So, uh. Domina?

I've become a coffee snob, send help. I had a mug of filter coffee from a café and found myself criticising the blend instead of just enjoying the coffee. ;_;
Y'know, this makes me wonder if you could make a people-muzzle that locks up on detecting the smell of coffee. Probably not the help you're looking for but it'd stop you from drinking coffee.

Plants are somethings, too, hec. Things that also die. Don't hate the verde.

The point is food that tastes like delicious meat. Everything else is secondary.

So apparently as a hurricane humps up to the coast, massachusetts is exploding? Dozens of explosions, things catching fire. Sounds sorta' like a monumentally colossal fuck up on the part of some gas company or another, from what I've noticed.

Ah, true. Lo', true. Congrats, ehehe. Hope that turns out particularly well for yeh. Always good to (potentially) have someone that can more or less have your back.
