@MBraedley I dunno, everyone enjoys the circus.

Sterno

Ah, STL, back when generics were a fancy new concept.

MBraedley

@JasonBerkan Yeah, well .NET is hard (or impossible?) to get running on Linux, and we need cross platform code.

Tim Stone

I dunno, last I heard Mono was pretty reliable.

They even added EF stuff, although you should feel dirty for using that anyway.

@TimStone There's also the fact that we're using code written before Mono was a thing.

Q: Bugged bins & barrels after reclaiming a fortress

I read there is a bug that makes your dwarves not use bins and barrels after reclaiming the fortress. How do I know which bins and barrels are just clutter. I use the LNP so it might have even fixed the issue since I never noticed it. I know how to check the contents of any bin or barrel, just ...

Q: I can't remember the game's name

@Yuki Having not seen the movie, I feel like she's saying "fine" there, not "fuck".

Yuki

@StrixVaria That's exactly what she's saying.

StrixVaria

Your teeth don't come together for the "ck" at the end of "fuck" like hers do.

StrixVaria

@BenBrocka Oh so they still call themselves Mountain Dew despite changing their logo to Mtn Dew?

Ben Brocka

I'm not sure I've ever heard a person non-sarcastically refer to it as "mtn dew"

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot Want to be turned off both? (not safe for lunch)

Yuki

@GnomeSlice I would venture a guess as to say it's kinda completely against the developer's wishes. "I'm removing this game because I don't want all the attention." "Let's give him some more attention!"

GnomeSlice

Well yeah, that.

Re: Flappy bird

> It’s a sad day when an artist is lambasted for nothing more than creating something for others to enjoy, and this certainly isn’t the first time it’s happened. It seems to be the first time it’s happened out of sheer popularity, however, and this time, the death threats, the suicide threats and the non-stop harassment from press, despite his pleas for them to leave him alone, was too much for the developer.

FEichinger

@Sterno Devs taking them seriously, yes - quite a bunch of folk have left the industry over it. But it's not like anyone ever actually acted on the threats, so there's that.

That said, if you push something to a global audience, you have to expect being pushed into the public eye yourself.

Ben Brocka

@Sterno It still freaks people out and has a draining effect on you mentally. It's not necessarily the specific threat so much as the hate

FEichinger

Are death threats and harassment horrible? Sure. But this is the kind of thing that comes with any public position. Be that a popular game dev, a celebrity, or really anything else where tons of people look at you and your work.
