  • I love discord, for what it’s for. Quick synchronous talks you will never refer back to again. So not software development where indexable logs of information are necessary. I know discord has indexing, and now some form of forum. But every discord I’ve been to for development (especially modding communities) has a large corpus of synchronous logs where people get annoyed if you ask a question that was answered one before a long time ago with extremely common language making it nearly impossible to search for because the keywords have been used out of context of your question hundreds of times since the question was asked.

    If the Dev communities used the forums mode in discord more, it wouldn’t always solve it, but it’d be much better. There are better places than discord for these things, but I have been trying to meet people where they’re established.






  • Because if you’re poor, it’s because Jesus is punishing you for something. (This is a slight exaggeration of the mindset.)

    For showing my point I like the joke that was made of the pastor in Katrina turning down help from the coast guard three times because God will save me, then drowning, getting to the pearly gates and asking why he wasn’t saved. The response was “I tried three times. You didn’t get on any of the helicopters I sent to save you.” There are direct parallels to religious figures claiming God will save them from COVID and not wearing masks or getting vaccines or anything, then dieing of COVID not months later. And those weren’t jokes. They were in the news…

    Religion is taught very poorly here in a lot of places, and it’s very predatory in a lot of the US. Any religious television here is only a scam.





  • A game with the time travel self interaction and self saving mechanics of Super Time Force Ultra. Doesn’t have to be a side scroller. Bonus points for getting multiplayer to work reasonably. I’ve been theorycrafting ways to do multiplayer like this for years (and ultimately most of it feels disjointed in theory so IDK). I’ve only seen one super low budget game using this mechanic (as a main game mechanic, not a side puzzle like the Ratchet and Clank time puzzles) and the reviews weren’t great.

    I’ve been considering mixing it with 5D Chess with Time Travel mechanics and Advance Wars gameplay as a proof of concept and see how far that gets me… But I don’t have time or energy to work on it after work…








  • Yep. R/Noita went private and moved to the discord I was already in, but Discord is a terrible replacement for Reddit. I don’t have time to read everything in the community to find anything in the community… So now I only have the comment section in FuryForged to find new discoveries in one of the most ridiculously complicated physics simulators I play.

    It’s an obscure enough community that I doubt it will reopen there, and I’d lose some respect for it if it reopened before Reddit actually listened to a single word we said.
