“Man rests from one labor by doing another.” That also works for managing chronic pain, as I’ve discovered…

  • Can the board grow dynamically once a milestone is met? That could solve the early game issue?

    Something definitely worth looking at, although it might add more complexity.

    Since it’s in the testing stage, maybe add the option to start with a smaller board, even if it can become eventually cramped. I’m still trying to memorise what everything does, and a smaller board would help for testing purposes.

    I haven’t tested this as actively as I’d hoped so far, but will continue to take stabs at it, here and there. My ambition is to give you better feedback and advice, as someone who likes testing games…








  • languages that lack a set of rules to correctly pronounce every word ever are mental illnesses.

    Yeah, I don’t know enough about French grammar and pronunciation rules, but I think part of the problem comes from them trying to maintain a written language that got left in the dust by the spoken language ages ago. So instead of updating the written one, they chose to ‘preserve history’ and add a landslide of little rules explaining separate cases, not just for pronunciation, but in a hugely systemic way. Native French-speakers have actually complained to me about that occasionally.

    I could give you any Spanish word you don’t know and you wouldn’t miss pronounce it.

    I love that about Castellano, just that some regions speed it up so much that I can barely catch it.







  • No one is even hinting at changing that for the future.

    That’s not really true, though. AOC, Sanders and others have been ceaselessly vocal about these matters, directly influencing change. And unless there’s systemic, nationwide fraud at the voting booths in November (I mean, much more than the usual), then the so-called “GOP” currently in charge is going to be in deep trouble from that point on. At least going by precedent and current rules, which of course might be somehow subverted by the Orangies, such as a declaration of martial law, etc.

    No one in a nation of pussies will stop him.

    The people manning the actual equipment are still military lifers, far as I know. From what I understand, it’s those types of folks who’ve historically prevented global nuclear war every time there was a chance of it happening.






  • From what I understand, global nuclear war was an ongoing concern by the mid-50’s, when the nuclear arms race got in to full swing. Along the timeline of the ensuing Cold War, there have evidently been a shocking number of close calls, with global war being averted by a single individual in some cases.


    Let that sink in, if you will-- a SINGLE … fecking … person choosing to do the adult and humane thing, for the good of all us other humans, and most life on Earth.

    Holy shit, does that person(s) deserve one hell of a victory parade, y’know?!


    Now one note of interest might be that the USSR’s cache of nuclear arms may not have been well-maintained over the years, so modern Russia might be sitting on a far more limited amount of live weapons than exists on paper. FWIW… which of course probably isn’t much, in the end.
