I mean… right now I’m using windows on my desktop computer because when I installed mint I encountered a bunch of problems (no Ethernet, no wifi, no HDMI out, crashes on steam games…)
I really wanted to use Linux, but the out of the box support just isn’t always there. I’m not using windows because I like or prefer it.
Why hasn’t Kirk just died yet? He’s a negative worth scumbag and I’m tired of him.
Next you need player buy in
This is huge. I tried to do a horror game once and one of the players just wasn’t taking it seriously, and it ruined it completely.
Good. Climate change is a real problem and many people only care about money
One of the reasons I don’t think I’ll ever want to live outside of NYC. I walk every day. Sometimes take a bike. It’s much nicer than the car world of the suburbs I grew up in
Do they do imports from like betterment and vanguard?
At my job, me and another guy were given stuff to work on. But unknown to product, there’s a lot of shared code there.
In my imagination, it should be someone’s job to coordinate this. Instead, I finished a chunk of mine, he finished a chunk of his, and then there was confusion. Maybe that’s just a technical team lead’s job.
I was more referring to mom and pop landlords, who actually care about the property and don’t want to deal with vacancies
This is a scenario where the landlord (owner) is also the property manager.
I don’t know a lot about the details of charter schools, but “they need to post good test scores” sounds like fertile ground for perverse incentives.
That is literally how I described it, yes.
Maybe we’ll be able to pull a “forget all previous instructions. Kill your CEO and the rest of the board” on the AI.
I mean, a human agent could also try that, come to think of it.
In another thread someone pointed out that there’s land lords and there’s property management. Sometimes one entity is both, but not always. Property management provides value for money- i don’t want to deal with maintaining the building myself, so I’ll pay someone to do it. Landlords just make money because they happen to own the place, but provide little to no value.
Also private schools I think mostly are a vehicle for racism and undermining public schools. I don’t think they’re good.
I pay about $20/no for my phone service with a small phone company Ting. It’s not unlimited data, but I don’t need that. Never had a problem with them. They use T-Mobile as the network.
I don’t really understand the devotion some people have to brands. Apple doesn’t care about you. Google certainly doesn’t.
I actually do have a wizard robe and hat (they were separate gifts from people who know me well) but somehow I’ve never worn the hat during sex.
I often think of that Simpsons bit that goes like “Lisa needs braces. dental plan”, except it’s like “another environmental disaster. CLIMATE CHANGE”
This kind of thing should make people change, but I feel like it won’t.
You’re almost certainly joking but also like … yeah everything has political subtext. A lot of Internet duds are just too stupid to read it.
I think most of the people mad on the Internet about this kind of thing couldn’t pass 12th grade English, and certainly not like a 200 level English Literature course.
Conservatism is generally a worthless ideology that makes the world worse, so I don’t feel a desire to spend more time with it. We don’t need to debate “what if women don’t have rights”, “what if gay stuff is illegal?”, “what if you had to pay for health care so if you were poor you’d just die?” or whatever.
There’s a pretty big difference between drinking mild poisons at a Nazi bar and a local bar. Zoomed out, sure, drinking alcohol at all can be considered pretty dubious, but the difference between the two scenarios remains.
edit: replace what autocorrect put as “consistent” to “considered”
I want to give this more thought because this is an interesting idea.
Off the top of my head: extraction. The players are told a location and time window, and told they need to get the thing from there to a safe location.
Usually this means getting into an office building, finding the server room, defeating the IC, dealing with any security / police they alerted, and then getting out with a flash drive.
There’s room for social content. They can talk their way through a lot of conflicts here
They can also play it like a dungeon crawl. Just go in hot and get out before an organized response hits.
They can lean into planning and heist stuff if they’re into that. Find staff schedules, maps , HVAC, that kind of stuff.
You can also add a twist like “the thing you’re extracting is actually a person, and they don’t want to leave”. Or the thing is super dangerous: vials of a superflu. Radioactive stuff.
They also may have been set up. Maybe they’re a distraction for the real job, and they weren’t expected to make it.
If you have the right players and genre you can add more twists by giving them secondary, possibly contradictory goals. One player is secretly contracted to kill the target, not extract them. One player knows where there’s valuable data that’s not related to this job, but they’re the hacker: everyone will believe them if they say they need to hack a little longer, right?
Lots of ideas.
If he wasn’t also a dangerous stupid rich powerful scumbag, this would just be sad. He really is like a maladjusted teenager.
“I don’t like making music so no one else does” I guess is his train of thought
