well thats certainly a title

This is why i love indie gaming

errant raven
#

Yeah it's a great game

#

Unlike chess

#

Chess.com is full of soy boy cuckold sore losers

#

Plays 20 inaccuracies, mistakes, blunders in a row, in a loss position, takes 3 minutes to make next turn, suddenly plays top move in a row until they somehow win

Seems legit

Your code is broken thats why it doesnt work

Blocking problems are the worst tbh

tulip orbit

its just supposed to randomly pick tiles till it finds one that is a floor, and then set that location in a variable. But for some reason its rejecting actual floors and putting it somewhere it shouldnt

maybe if you try to code the opposite you'll end up with a working solution?!

i think they can "afford" a discount on black friday

tbh, I only played Witcher 3, tried it twice, could not finish it either time

Except for you.

waxen mulch

I've actually looked into that, and apparently people do actually want male only sections. Usually, it's not for reasons of feeling unsafe, but rather discouraged. For me specifically, It's harder to focus on the gains (which is a really bad reason) πŸ˜‚

Then all you can do is ask again.

If they don't reply, go and talk to the manager in person.

If they flatly refuse, report them to the government/newspaper for gender discrimination.

@broken sigil πŸ˜…

waxen mulch
# fleet tangle What did they say, out of interest?

Wall of text incoming
Somehow we got on the topic about women rights when I raised my hand to say it felt like women had more rights then men. It's got the classroom kind of rowled up. The teacher (female) asked me for an example and I brought up women only shelters. I used the movie "Pursuit of happiness" starring will smith to show the example of when he had to find another place to sleep when he waited in line just like everyone else but wasn't allowed in just because he was an adult male. It got shut down pretty quick by some of the loud females in my classroom.

They didn't really give any counter arguments though. They said things like "Men should just go make their own shelters", and "Just go to the other available shelters". Among other nonsense attacks targeted at me. Some guys did stick up for my concerns though so it was pretty cool. But eventually the teacher tried to give a more detailed reason for women only shelters which was. "some women were abused, traumatized, and other things caused by men. So this is the only place they can go to be safe and not have to see another man at all as the existence of a man is a trigger for them".

When I tried to point out that none of this explained why their aren't any men shelters she just decided to move on from the conversation and continued with the lesson. In the end I learned that speaking out on it was a great way to get abused verbally lol. But it's fine, we we're all adolescents, I'm sure they didn't mean the things that they said

celest musk
#

xD

fleet tangle
#

Pretty sure that applies to Varun, but do you mean Moxie and I?

celest musk
#

woman shelters should be somewhat a temporary solution if it's really for something like victims of abuse or whatever

#

otherwise it just fulfills their world view, which might be shifted due to their bad experience

waxen mulch

it would end up in a toxic self feeding loop crowding them together with other victims

I think a problem is that people conflate having rights with those rights being taken into account.

#

People have the right not to be discriminated against, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

#

And this is why men get a raw deal when campaigning for rights - attitudes like that this denigrate women.

gyms aren't the only place where you can work out

which one is this? i cant think of an xcom game (old or new) where you start with 8 soldiers. its usually 4, 6, 10 or 12

#

wait, submarine, so probably terror from the deep. havent played that one

cursive crypt
empty dune
# cursive crypt

it makes slightly more sense when you consider that the entire enemy+ friendly turns happen within 6 seconds in canon

#

so a 6 turn mission (which is very long in enemy unknown) is basically 36 seconds

i can forgive a random rookie missing a giant ET while only having 6 seconds to react

yeah, i lost my first mewtwo because of that lol

Haven't played both of them.
Back to xcom, the remakes are quite streamlined compared to the originals. Especially 2 - Terror from the Deep. That Steam comment brings my memories back.

empty dune

then you wont miss xenonauts 2

that game is basically old xcom + QoL

cursive crypt

It was the first game I saw my bro acquiring hacking skills and editing in the savegame the soldier paramaters. They were in byte range, so once I tried to go above and rolled over. However, the bar showing the skill was not rolling over and was going on the next row. Or something along the lines, it was bizzare.

there's actually an xcom like out there thats really cool

In this whole thingie, I believe the hardware is the most critical thing.

Getting a convenient, fast & reliable brainscan? Hard.

broken sigil

ok so to actually use the output for your own thing you don't need their super expensive professional software, this thing can communicate with your external app
https://www.emotiv.com/emotiv-bci/osc/
https://www.emotiv.com/emotiv-bci/

Tho they do have proper API as well giving you complete access to all the data streams from it, but it's a custom license
Which is what I dislike and probably gonna wait before something more open comes out if I decide to mess with it

If I pay 1k for hardware I wanna do whatever I want with that hardware

After 40, say 50 onward, they say ppl start to work better, or more in sync all across the brain (say left vs right). In a way, this has brings more calm view of life. Not for all, but for the most say. You know, grandpas/grandmas are usually chill somewhat.
