Ya, this is all true. But it was so intense when I got hooked that my fingers hurt. This is a game that will grab you.

And this is the start of the longest crypto nerd fight I've seen on Lemmy. Well done, people!

Dude. Fair warning for anybody getting into Vampire Survivors.
It's designed with bunch of video lottery type effects.
This thing will grab you and not let go. Particularly after you get good at it.
Each round is 30 minutes. I think that's so people will step away regularly instead of being stuck there. Seriously, its addictive.

(And cheap, and fun, and constantly getting free updates, and dev has his own damn wiki not on fandom.)

You're in every thread I read. I believe in you.
Poof. You're real.

The collective formerly known as Jimmy sees the truth.
Those aren't voices. They are bits of what used to be "me".

Its a pointless perspective, but not provably wrong ...

In the butt...

Well, that's pretty cool. But boy is that shit gonna go bang when the power goes out.

I've heard similar claims about metallic hydrogen as an energy storage medium.
I guess if we can just make shit up, neutronium would be even better.

I read an article a good 20 years ago called Flourine: The Tiger of Chemistry. I'm certain it was by this guy. But I recall some cursing. I don't think it was on science.org. Haven't been able to find the piece in years, but it was funny as hell.

Wood is billions of years more advanced than this stuff.

This isn't a serious magazine. They cover quirky things, with zero depth.
Calling this goop "building material" is a bit far fetched.
Saying it does carbon sequestration (well, they'd have said that if the intended audience knew what sequestration means) is kinda dumb as well, as it ain't gonna do much.

Although the article and the magazine suck, they had poor material to work from. The research paper sucks too. They seem to claim some breakthrough or advancement. At best, they've got a clever way to keep a biofilm alive and green. It's useless as such.

Sleep in the cooler. After you huff all the nitrous from the whip cream.

Heh. This is amusing.
So, bash has loose variables that can be either strings or numbers? Seems like the same instantiation method creates a variable or a string, as needed. Like VBScript.

There's about 10 minutes worth of fun here. I got to the 'library' where it just starts dumping a bunch of 'spells' on you. The entire thing consists of 3 directories (rooms) with a few executables that are simple tutorial text dialogs.

Somebody else pointed out, maybe my instance just federated with them. This seems a likely cause for the sudden change in my feed.

Ok. This is useful info.

I've just checked that setting. Ok, that's an option, thx. This is the first bot that I've actually noticed (aka it annoyed me), and I've blocked it specifically.

Its that old? I don't know why I'm suddenly seeing their stuff. I'll inquire w/my instance admin.

I'm still kinda new here. I'm guessing if enough instances admins hate it and defederate Lemmit.Online, they might stop?
I haven't seen much lemmy drama yet. (Well, other than lemvotes, that was dramatic.) I don't know how these things sort out.

A clear understanding of reality at such a young age portends a troubled life ahead.

I've played one other idler. It was more like Antimatter, put some time into, and it annoyed me enough to remove it from my Steam history. I bought one called 64 that I barely started. The only one that I've actually enjoyed is Idle Champions, but boy do I have a lot of time into that one.
