Yo that's cool. What even is this place?

>What even is this place?
A Halloween store. It's empty except for the month of October, where it gets full of cute succubus outfits for little with succubi, and anime cosplay. After Halloween, all of the employees are ground in to a fine paste and shipped to the shrimp farms as chum.

This one right? Looking for Group. If I am not hallucinating, they were done by the people who did "Least I Could Do". Was nice, but yes they went super serious. The undead not actually being undead or something?
I'm not sure if the creators always were, but I dropped them when they didnt hide their leftism. I thin a decade ago I kinda checked on them and saw that they turned the "suck of a buck" hooker in to a FtM Tranny.

I also wanted to create comics just like this.

>>66244
>>70377
What holds you back? There are plenty of comics that arent perfectly drawn but still managed to get cult like status, p.E. Tails gets Trolled

>>70375
Yeah that one. And the elf being the king/hero of some prophecy or something, being forced to kill a child to save something greater, except the kid wasn't a kid but some illusion or shapeshifter who orchestrated it, because what the elf was supposed to "kill" was his "innocence". It was just getting too pretentious for me and I dropped it.

This reminds me of another 2 video game related webcomics.
- Goblins one which I dropped when it had a "pseudo rape" arc. Some bald human barbarian and lamia chick had a nice thing going, but lamia is cursed to forget about him and she prepares to leave him when he uses some magic item to make her stop which triggered her PTSD flashback of being raped by some other dude before. Then the artist dumped some huge ass sobstory on the website about how his mom was raped or something and even a small interview with her. I dunno if it was an elaborate joke or not but I just dropped it at that point.

- Order of the Stick. Was nice for a while but then at some point the story pivots to "but umm have you considered that goblins are only evil because of socio-economic factors and it's in fact humans that are bad?" which also caused me to drop it.

It's been a while so I may not be remembering this properly.

Pretty degenerate. Thought he made a new webcomic because a lot of his original stuff had guest artists who were already integrated into his storylines. Didn't update or slowed for a while but I sent him a sympathy email when next to one of his comics he talked about being pushed out of a friend group because of a succubus. Then he did one or two more updates after that.
>>66244
>>66544
the GOATs. Don't think they update any more though, or I think Blastwave just did a spinoff and stuck with that.
>>70375
I found it reddit tier, like deadpool for fantasy.

One dumb comic I followed for a while (because it was something to follow) was a lego comic based on star wars and star trek.

Define wargame. At various times I have played 40k, Battletech, Flames of War, and Warmahordes. As a kid I played Panzer Blitz and some other Avalon Hill games.

I've been running some Chainmail battles with some guys.
It's fun!

bump
I liked Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance as a kid who liked futuristic robotistic stuff at tge time

>>70367
additional info:
A turn-based wargame? I liked Heroes of Might and Magic III also.

I collect and paint models. Never played the games though, not sure if I'd really enjoy that environment as a wizard. My parents are from the era of board games, but would refuse to play anything more complex than monopoly.

I'll post a photo of 2 of the recent minis I've done, and compare them to ones I painted 10+(or whenever 5th edition first came out for 40k) years prior, It's funny how much better they look when you follow some basic instructions like thinning your paints lol. Also it helps that I have a real paintbrush now, back then I would chew a toothpick and use that to paint.

I'm bidding on a box of Hero quest, seems like an old one. Currently it's only at 2 dollars, hopefully I can get it for a steal.

I like the fall. Summer is way too hot and makes normies run around and party outside. In the fall when it gets colder they already start to stay inside more. So I can take my time walking along the same path as always and admire the color of the changing leaves and wonder how many times I will walk this path before this time of my life comes to a close as well. Perhaps I will miss these mundane scenes one day. Perhaps I will forget them entirely. But for now I am comfy and enjoying the sights.

>>70010
Good call.
I think I should go for a walk in the park too.

But what about posting park lains?

So, my friend told me yesterday his stomach rejects black tea, green tea is fine though.

Does anyone here both avoid black tea and enjoy green tea? Because I have no understanding of green tea; same for white tea/golden tea/obscure types of tea leaf preparation

>>70360
Dead site

I'm into Jin Jun Mei lately. Chinese black tea with a deep, mild honey-like taste, I can't believe the garish black teas drunk in the west are made of the same plant.

>>70362
Cool, thanks!


Meanwhile: i've been drinking some funny teas last winter: "Polar lights" and "1001 nights" were remarkable, "Nut Tart" - almost as remarkable as the two above.

I dunno where to get them *in a bag* and not in funny ½oz jars though. Can I trust online shopping here?

This is the first genuine complement I've received in a long time, and I think the first complement I've come across on a chan, ever. Thanks.
Sage because this post is sappy.

I've put some thought in trying to make the system as bare bones as absolutely possible and this is what I have so far. Each successive iteration I've been stripping out more and more until this is what I'm left with so far. I still don't know if the categories quite make sense/work in my playtesting so far, even though I can force them to work…
My main issue atm are the action/theme oracles. In practice, I find I do need them to be that small so that the whole system "fits in human memory" without too much effort for a new player. By making them "multiplicative" I can capitalize on the exponential compression to really expand their power, e.g., you "roll" 3 times to get a word for each category, and the word combination defines the theme/noun or action/verb. This allows me to "fit" a lot more words into the same space. However, I find the theme/action oracle to still be really abstract to work with in playtesting so far. It's hard to bullshit up a MBTI/Compass system to define nouns/verbs.
The fate oracle I think works well when you play with the principle of "If you aren't willing to accept 3:7 or 7:3 odds, then don't bother with the fate oracle and just have it happen in the game."
Idk, I'm going to do a bit more playtesting to see if I can even out the action/theme oracle kinks.
I've got a more complete writeup I'm working on w/examples/etc., but I wanted to make sure I could at least get it not only on a single page, but on a single page with plenty of white space and DEAD simple (it's got to be done all in your head!).
Again, I don't know if I'll be arsed to finish up the full writeup, but whatever. I find the full writeup interesting as it not only explains all the design choices so far, but also explains what I've noticed in some other playtesting, which is that the system seems to have far more applications than just games.

Draft v.1

>>69679
Been playtesting some more, and the main issue I've come across is using the theme oracle. There are the specific words I choose in the theme oracle are giving me..bad vibes.
It's also not just that I can "represent" as many things as possible with as few words as possible, but I have to make the weightings of those representations be things more likely to carry a story. For example, one time I was playtesting and hit "ethereal" like three times in a row and was like, "O.k., come on, I don't want to make a @#$!ing pantheon right now!"
I think I can fix it by choosing the word categorizations more carefully, and being more willing to completely avoid certain categories, but…I'm not an ontologist.
…
I just had a thought. If I incorporated toki pona's ontology, I think that might help. Also, if I gave the player choice at each vertex of the triangles between a word or it antonym, that might help too?

how would including them in a font help if you don't have a key for them?

Just type them in latex in something that can process it. But if you actually want to learn math you will have to do it by hand, if the computer does it for you nothing will stick, period.

interesting… thanks

As for the first quarter of XXI century, online search is "in", so it would be obvious for a math grad student to use Google to look up what this or that math symbol normally represents in basic first semester of your average comm-coll calculus.

Problem is, mathematical symbols aren't represented properly in Unicode, so its a whole new can of worms to complete a quest to grasp the concept what NAMES this or that symbol may have, given many symbols look one like another sometimes.


I dunno, you can spam vaporwave font in unicode, you can zalgo-ify words like "HE COMES" to make said words creepy, you can spam 🙂s☹m🙂i🙂l🙂🙂e🙂y☹s🙂 yet somehow… no math symbols in Unicode??? Ugh.

>>70353
online symbols


alt+NNNNN (NNNNumber for an unique symbol)


I swear I should have studied something non-mathy to avoid dealing with this weirdness.

>>69432
I just started this one, it's far from complete.

>>69433
ok good luck🍀

I would like to post about my own game development once i have something good to show. Would that be okay?

>>69282
should share source code. other wise assume it is malware

>>70316
>Give me full access to your programming work for free or I will consider it to be evil software and advocate against anyone downloading it

Sorry GNUtard, even if you had the code and managed to compile it through a decent C# compiler running on Wine, your castrated Thinkpad T240 wouldn't be able to this game.

>>69666
quite a number, huh?

Junkie fucks just ruin everything they touch. The thought of a beautiful briar being ruined by one of these idiots pisses me off.

Pipe tobacco is good for putting in cigarette tubes and papers, good for packing your own cigarettes.
I prefer the brands without anything toxic.
Love to be off of arsenic and cyanide, because of pipe tobacco.
Arsenic and cyanide actually fucking killed me.
Prepacked cigarettes aren't worth it; they're drenched in death, poison, severe retardation. And severe general impairments and severe general disabilities.

Pipe tobacco smells great, because it's non-toxic.
Tastes better, too.

I get Gambler brand tobacco.
Inexpensive, cheapest on the store market.

Smoked many a pipe. Try a pipe with a wider bowl. You can create more smoke. You'll feel like a dragon.

>>70307
Lum being a smoker, ай-яй-яй

looks classy tho

I like reading news 1 hour/day

I used to watch netcams a few years back since I couldn't afford to travel. The exciting part was finding snow on the ground or people watching.

>>70133
whats the most memorable thing you saw?

>>70134
Nothing worthy of shock videos online or anything, but more of a life/outlook observation: strip back the systems of control - government, religion, wealth (and wealth disparity). What's left are people just trying to get through their day. They probably won't be anything great, and after a generation or two most will be forgotten. I'm cool with that and aspire to non-greatness myself.

>>69451
can you share the link to watch that place?
I want to watch places up close but the ones I found weren't
