Boo. Kairosoft released Ninja Village for iOS.

I already have that! Gimme the pirate game!

FAE

Argh, it's frustrating that Steam's List View for games sorts by size within the categories you've made.

So I have to scroll to each separate category to see what the largest game is that's taking up space.

Q: What happens if one does not escape the Harvester's mini game?

Upon failing to defeat the Harvester mini-boss, you must escape a laboratory. What happens if you fail this escape mission, and do not get all of your stuff back?

@Unionhawk Yup. -3 and lower is faded, to reflect the community's judgement on that content.

@Frank Yeah it's pretty crazy in the capital right now.

@RedRiderX What specifically are the protests about? General dissatisfaction with the government is all I'm reading . . .

RedRiderX

yeah same I haven't been following it too closely

it seems to be about a few different things but mainly that

The announcement today certainly didn't help

Chris Priestman left IndieStatik.

I guess because of what happened with Josh.

RedRiderX

Oh wow what happened?

I'm glad I have a new SE site to be mean on now that I'm running for Moderator.

@Greg No, the negative voter, (who, I will add, finds grousing about downvotes sans comments to be the single most offensive thing anyone can do on SE short of posting flat out hate speech), voted down the answer because he felt that it wasn't a very good answer, and didn't do a particularly good job of articulating what makes the "Winter Warmer"/"Christmas Ale" style unique. That said, the pejorative use of the 'r-word' has managed to rile me up even more than your complaining about my downvote, so good job! — LessPop_MoreFizz 2 mins ago

@RedRiderX Here's a note about it from IndieStatik

Frank

@RedRiderX The little I've read, it sounds like the president (or whatever they name their head honcho) unilaterally torpedoed a trade deal with the EU, and started kowtowing to Putin.

GnomeSlice

@RedRiderX Here's what happened, though.

Frank

And has since started removing citizen rights and using fear and intimidation to "quell" the protests that are happening due to his actions.

@LessPop_MoreFizz I'd want a beta invite just to read this fully.

But I suspect I know exactly who you're talking about there.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Frank short version: Dude self answers question with a lousy two sentence answer with no details.

I downvote.

Dude asks "Why The Downvote!?!?"

'Greg' speculates that it was because it was self answered.

Dude uses slur to call out the anonymous jerk who downvoted him because he self answered.

And then I fired back.

Frank

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, you're gonna have it rough if you have to be polite to everybody here.

> The government’s opponents pointed to three recent actions by the government that they said were intended to incite the more radical protesters and sow doubt in the minds of the moderates:... and on Tuesday, sending cellphone messages to people standing in the vicinity of the fighting saying, “Dear subscriber, you are registered as a participant in a mass disturbance.”

yesterday, by LessPop_MoreFizz

Well that isn't super creepy or anything.

Frank

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yup, I read that. Apparently, it helped nothing at all.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Frank Because it's creepy as fuck.

Frank

Their government just pushed through a bill for riot police to use guns now.

Because apparently, rather than address concerns, they'd rather just stifle the populace.

@LessPop_MoreFizz These people do know that modern medicine is still based off plants, animals and/or minerals right?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@GnomeSlice The site description explicitly calls out animal based treatments as on-topic!

@uni You can, and I will commiserate with you about how cold it is.

My classroom didn't have working A/C, can I complain about it being hot?

@Yuki I can offer you a cat, a gingersnap cookie, or a cough drop

I am quite possibly dying of cute overload.

those are the only things i can reach, trapped under said cat

Please don't die. I liek you

Yuki

@AshleyNunn This manga is just so friggin' adorable...

user15026

What is it?

Yuki

@AshleyNunn It's called Hitorimi Haduki-san to.

It's one of those "first relationship" manga.

And it's just. So. Friggin'. Cute.

Dear god, do I need to turn in my man card? My favorite movies are Disney films and I read cutesy manga.

Ktash

@Yuki why would you link us to a place to read it?!!

That's gonna make me just go read it

and I really can't be doing that

especially not while I'm in the middle of Ranma already

Fun fact: The old guys dancing in that video are the dancers from Mary Poppins

@Ktash I have more of those cutesy manga if you're interested.

Most of them aren't terribly long yet.

I think there's only one that's past the 20 chapter mark.

Ktash

Heh, no thanks. I've got too much to read as it is

@Ktash It replaced the Polka Dot Shorts theme song stuck in my head ;P

@Ktash My one problem with singing Disney songs is that all the guy parts are tenors.

@Yuki Unless you want to be a villain. They have a few baritones for those.

@Yuki I just sing it and love it, even though I'm not great. You just gotta go for it :)

I have no idea what part I sing, I just sing to whatever I like. I likely sound terrible :P

@Ktash Gonna watch it again on Friday. Hopefully, nobody in the theatre so I can sing along.

Ktash

@Yuki Psh, why does there have to be no one in the theater. Clearly, all musicals are sing-a-longs

Yuki

@Ktash How about this one? It's been out awhile.

@Ktash Because I don't want to inflict anyone with my probably bad singing.
