Привет малышка моя родная, ну как дела? Наверно к дому зима дорожки все замела. В небе над Чирейден тают звезды в лучах зари, Ты только маме, что я в Генсокйо, не говори. А если спросят о чем пишу я, ну чтож соври, Ты только маме, что я в Генсокйо, не говори.

@mas__yamazaki アメリカ人がこれを見ると、「彼女は感情や喜びを持つ、生身の人間だ。私たちと同じだ。彼女なら信頼できる」と思うのです。

高市早苗のファンは、推しがアメリカで嘲笑の的になっても怒りとか感じないんですか？　それが不思議で仕方ない。今日夕方のアークタイムズ尾形さんのライブでも指摘されていましたが、日本人なら自国の首相が真珠湾のジョークネタに関連して笑い物になっているのを恥だと思います。恥を知らないのか。

@Walkuriie 🫂

My dog passed away today, ive had her for 18 years and she lived a good long life but it stings so much.

@aakashgupta That's true, but it's only half the issue with the OP. The other half is that he didn't actually understand what a "fully functioning economy" means, because he didn't put in any liquid capital or finance system. Real medieval economies had multiple good sources for this.

Game designers figured this out decades ago and it cost millions in failed launches. Will Wright built SimCity with a fully accurate traffic simulation. Testers hated it. The cars behaved realistically, which meant nobody could build a functioning city because real traffic is an unsolvable nightmare. He had to make the simulation dumber before the game became fun. The tension is permanent: the more accurately you model a system, the more it punishes the participant. Real medieval economies kept 90% of the population in subsistence farming. A historically accurate fantasy world doesn't produce heroes. It produces serfs. Tolkien solved this by making his economy deliberately vague. No one knows what a gold coin buys in Gondor. That ambiguity is a design choice, not a shortcut. The Reddit post is funny. The lesson underneath it is one of the hardest problems in simulation design: fidelity and fun are opposing forces, and you have to pick which one wins.

@Thatisdiffi I've just moved onto Girls' Frontline music lately myself

90% of what I listen to is video game music ngl And I wouldn't have it any other way.

@Xx_Stoogie_xX @OliverWDahl That sounds like dragon propaganda to make adventurers look bad.

@SubSatorin @OliverWDahl Swashbuckling adventurers are rent seekers!!!

The more I think about this the funnier it gets

@OliverWDahl If the hero has a quest that is clearly important, but cannot get any patron or loan to fund it, that implies that the economy is broken because there's no finance or liquid currency available for investments

@OliverWDahl > "Fully functioning economy" > look inside > doesn't actually function at all Many such cases!

@Xx_Stoogie_xX @OliverWDahl If agricultural labor is more profitable than swashbuckling quests, then maybe your quests just suck

@SubSatorin @OliverWDahl The economy *is* functioning, though! It presses these would-be swashbucklers into agricultural labor!

@YemeKopter @OliverWDahl Economists devote their entire lives to trying to understand real-world economies and cannot accurately model them. A novel writer has no chance. Better to abstract everything and do what works for the story you want to tell instead.

@SubSatorin @OliverWDahl I think thats the realistic part

DNI with me if you disrespect Chuck Norris. If I see anyone badmouthing him they're getting blocked. I have standards.

Your first meme was probably a Chuck Norris fact. Mine was. He died yesterday in Hawaii at 86, ten days after posting a video of himself throwing punches on his birthday. His caption: “I don’t age. I level up.” This is a little tribute. The real Chuck Norris was wilder than any meme about him. He lost his first three karate tournaments, then went 65-5 over the next decade. Six-time undefeated world middleweight karate champion. Black belts in five different disciplines. First person ever inducted into the Black Belt Hall of Fame, and the only martial artist to be named to it three separate times. His student Steve McQueen told him to try acting. That led to a fight scene opposite Bruce Lee in Way of the Dragon (1972), which became the highest-grossing film in Hong Kong that year. Then Walker, Texas Ranger ran 9 seasons on CBS, 194 episodes, broadcast in over 100 countries. But his biggest cultural moment started with a college freshman’s joke. In 2005, a Brown University student named Ian Spector built a random fact generator on the Something Awful forums. It was originally about Vin Diesel. When the novelty faded, Spector ran a poll with 12 celebrity options. Chuck Norris wasn’t on the list. He won anyway, by write-in landslide. By early 2006, the Chuck Norris Fact Generator was pulling 20 million pageviews a month. This was before Twitter existed, before Facebook was public, before YouTube had a single viral hit. A college kid’s joke website about a semi-retired action star became one of the most visited humor pages on the internet. It spawned six books (some hit the New York Times bestseller list), two video games, and a scene in The Expendables 2 where Sylvester Stallone’s character recites a Chuck Norris fact to Chuck Norris’s face. When asked about his favorite fact, Norris said it was: “They tried to carve Chuck Norris’ face into Mount Rushmore, but the granite wasn’t hard enough for his beard.” The meme ran for 21 years. Most memes last weeks. Chuck Norris Facts introduced more people to Chuck Norris than his movies ever did. For everyone born after 1995, he was never an aging action star or a karate champion. He was the guy who counted to infinity. Twice. The guy whose tears cure cancer, too bad he never cried. The last thing the internet saw from Chuck Norris was him throwing punches on his 86th birthday. Which is, honestly, the most Chuck Norris fact of all.

@CDoombeard @DaelonSuzuka It's fine to take a step back, and don't think less of yourself for doing so. You need a break. I'll still see you on chat channels

@DaelonSuzuka I think I'm going to pivot back to making art, interacting with game devs and artists and musicians, posting memes and voice stuff and videos. I'll be around. And maybe I'll ease back into politics when things get less stupid and psyopish.

I'm free. I don't have to listen to anyone's dumbass opinion, because they're all grifting scumbags. It was all a lie, Twitter is fake. I can go touch grass now.

The UK's censorship agency, Ofcom, issued 4chan with a giant fine today. We responded to Ofcom with a giant hamster today.

That cute scientist girl from Lviv #GirlsFrontline2 #ドルフロ2

This from Paul Ehrlich will make you think "If I'm always wrong so is science, since my work is always peer-reviewed, including the POPULATION BOMB and I've gotten virtually every scientific honor." Link in reply

In this house, Orphelune is a hero! End of story!

@BunnyCunny271k @PotatoMcWhiskey This is why Irish Heritage Americans take more pride in being Irish than the Irish who stayed home do.

@BunnyCunny271k @PotatoMcWhiskey Exactly the same people that gave their country up to the English. Meanwhile the good Irish all escaped to America so there's nobody left in Ireland to stand up for Ireland.

I do not endorse using racism and my culture to denigrate black people, black culture, and black experience.

@BlackIceSheep Maybe because if you cook it yourself in your own oven it's always fresh

@SubSatorin Still too expensive at chain stores. Supermarket frozen pizza lately just taste better, too.

Why would I ever go to Domino's when even it's cheapest "deal" can't compare with base price Red Barron? x.com/i/status/20338…
