Not a bar, but plays one on TV

We're happy to help. We aren't happy to be demanded of, or trivialised, and we expect the people who ask for help to put in their own work too.

You need to do research into games which effectively accomplish the elements of your goal, in order to learn a variety of strategies, attitudes, and philosophies to bring to bear on it.

> When filming the explosion of the arena in Part Four, Sylvester McCoy was told that he wouldn't need to walk too far of a distance, as the bulk of the explosion would be supplied by special effects. However, the pyrotechnicians over-rigged the arena: the resulting explosion was much larger than the crew anticipated, catching McCoy in the heat blast and even setting fire to some of his clothes. Yet he continued to walk away unfazed because he knew that there wouldn't be a retake.

Mmm. I want moderators who I trust to listen, and think, and evaluate, whatever issue comes up. If I were to vote for people based on their promises to handle a subset of actions in ways I like, that doesn't tell me anything about how they'll handle new issues that come up.

On the other hand, if that thing is a breathtaking simulation of imaginary life in all its rich tapestry of complexity and beauty, it will happily do that too.

"Not a bear, but plays one on TV". Happy New Year everyone!

@Shalvenay You may want to think about rationality as opposed to superrationality.

Something completely different: Weiss and Hickman's "Death Gate Cycle," a set of seven fantasy novels.

Survey: Ethnic representation in animated movies.

Clone theory is getting better all the time.

@Pixie It's well established that Equestria is a seriously messed-up place.

@doppelgreener to some degree the amusement factor is fun tho

...and we conclude with spoiler and the Doctor spoiler again despite having done that in The Spoilers and the Spoiler of the Spoilers... and Spoiler and Spoiler on the Spoiler...

People will argue for days about whether something is X genre or Y genre or X-Y genre or whatever, and at the end of the day I won't ever set out to make a science-fiction splatterpunk suspense game. I might, however, set out to make a game rooted in the horror of confronting visceral mortality distorted through the lens of isolation during grungy bare-bones-tech interstellar space travel. Both of which are ways to describe a game based on the film Alien.

Also we burnt down a small apartment building.

@LymiaAluysia Welcome to things you understand, but Paizo doesn't. Or they do, but they choose to live in denial of it.

Tahiti is a magical place.

(He may or may not already be called Deadpool.)

Seeing a Starship Troopers ad in there. SERVICE GUARANTEES CITIZENSHIP.

She may or may not also be an immortal demigod.

Yanno, as much as talking with strangers on the Internet about our imaginary friends is the outside world.

Whoever walks into this room next and decides to catch up on the backlog is going to have a lot of heartwarming evidence of faith done right intercut with me being a bitter cur to get through

[nurses Shirley Temple] Everyone play nice. Civility is required at all times; rudeness will not be tolerated. Treat others with the same respect you’d want them to treat you because we’re all here to learn, together. Be tolerant of others who may not know everything you know, and bring your sense of humor.

Good. [grasps hat firmly, places it under buttocks]

It would sadden me greatly to imagine that a great many people merely aspire to relative excellence.
