As someone who played roguelikes in the 90's then got frustrated with ancient UI/UX, and therefore also bounced several times, I can confirm that the latest efforts and co-operation with Kitfox have really improved things.
My latest efforts had me playing for several hours almost entirely with the mouse and having fun!
(and then I got stuck in the first basement mission with no way to reach the mission objective; that was less fun)
The cringe is palpable. These might be bigots but even then I feel sorry for whoever has to be next to such a clusterfuck in person. For a moment. The I remember these people want to elect him and I feel better about their suffering. May it open their fucking eyes.
Funniest to me in this kind of debate is having my N+1 manage us from across the country, having two team members in another town, and somehow, my ass being at home 15km from the office makes any difference at all to the daily life of the team?
It doesn't. My actual manager, the dude giving us our marching orders, doesn't care. Shit, our N+1 doesn't care either, since he's almost always remote himself!
Only people I've seen actually care seem to be HR, for whatever reason.
I don't even get how any company with several sites has anything to stand on. Makes no fucking sense.
But that's something I don't actually understand, since real estate would fall under the sunk cost fallacy. Ie, if you've invested in real estate, the cost is spent already, right?
Whether someone comes in that building is irrelevant.
The costs spent to maintain, heat, clean, power the buildings, on the other hand...
It's just not really obvious to me. Seems like fewer people would cost cheaper, no?
Liches are highly intelligent magic users (so INT based) who decided to transcend death just so they could keep on studying. They don't care about the limelight, about looks, about anyone or anything besides whatever mad project they have.
He's nowhere near as cool or competent a villain as a lich.
Funniest thing for me as a bilingual French is people butcheringpronouncing French words like hors d'oeuvre or whatever. I mean it's funny but okay, that's both no big deal and you can always educate someone and give them the real French pronunciation if they absolutely wanna sound posh.
But then I'm always so torn when somebody has a clearly French name but again, their pronunciation is atrocious. Like, I try to just ignore it, but sometimes I can just imagine myself jumping at them and screaming how they are pronouncing it wrooooooong, hahaha!
Sounds like something ChatGPT would write : perfectly sensible English, yet the underlying logic makes no sense.
