Cheap meat needs to not be a choice, period. It’s a purely modern aberration.

IBM sure does suck donkey balls but I really don’t think that particular thing is their fault.

That is true and I have also muted a ton of my less-than-friend-level contacts in regards to stories. But that nag screen to subscribe to channels seems so terribly gauche.

Yep, that counts. And honestly, it counts for a lot more to me than speculative art trading and hoarding.

Can this “feature” be removed or deactivated somehow? I guess not because that would be too convenient.

Realistically? I think it very much is. If you can’t make money with art either by producing or buying/selling/owning it then pretty much no one cares.

When is the last time you genuinely saw someone care about a work of art breaking new ground, or for it delving into truly novel understanding, or due to it invoking feelings in the recipient?

Like the outrage ober the self-shredding Banksy? Oh noes, so much value destroyed how could he!!1

If we picked all of the asshole tyrant heads of state (add billionaire techbros while we’re at it) it would look like Battle Royal back when WWF was still a thing with twenty freaks in the ring at the same time. And for every punch that lands you could cheer because it never hits anyone who didn’t deserve it.

If the tyrant Erdogan (same thing for Orban and those other autocrat dickbags) is unhappy that’s a sign that at least something is going in the right direction.

This kind of headline makes me sick: “Work of art worth X currency” - because of course it’s only the financial speculative aspect that makes art valuable and no one cares about anything else. Disgusting.

Tell me you are a psychopath without telling me you are a psychopath.

From “don’t be evil” to “you know, what’s so bad about being evil anyway?”

I’ll be honest, I was a bit nervous when you compared your game to D&D and Shadowrun. Both have famously bad mechanics that shoot themselves in the foot compared to what the absolutely marvelous worldbuilding can do and are only the staples they are because they’ve been there decades ago…

But from a quick perusal this looks rather promising. I would love to commit some of my time to this project and its community but will have to see whether I can manage to free up some first. So, no promises at this point I’m afraid.

I really love the way you approach this, not as a commercial product but as hopeful community building. Can’t give you enough kudos for this! :)

Ah neat, good to hear. I don’t think we’re in a rush and I rather they do things properly and sustainably rather than “as ASAP as possible” really.

But wouldn’t hurt to see an update every now and then in kbinMeta, the way they used to show up.

I had been wondering as well. I have been using the app with an alt account since 0.1.7 but never joined the Discord so no news.
Then again it seems like the /kbin API is still in testing as I never saw an update on that front either.

Could also just be a summer slouch as everone is on vacation perhaps? Certainly hope interest in /kbin and Artemis hasn’t faded.

Putin chambers

Smoking is such as disgusting habit and I could never imagine having a smoker as my partner.

So sad seeing more and more young people smoking around here rather than less as should be expected.

His poor son, family, and basically everyone he knows.

I think Hitler and Putin really would have gotten along splendidly. No surprise there.

7 Pro since launch, no issues whatsoever.

“Unrelenting darkness within him”? I thought that’s why Uncle Xenu installed his Thetan pump so those can be sucked out like some sort of anti-midichlorians.
