Lovable Sidekick

Reminds me of an old joke about a golfer who was so dumb he broke his leg when he fell off the ball washer.

This reminds me of one of my very first programs, a tic-tac-toe game I wrote in high school. It displayed hardcoded grids of Xs and Os and blanks very similar to what’s shown here. This approach worked because of the much more limited move possibilities. The program could always win if it made the first move, and always win or tie if the human moved first, depending on if the human made mistakes. I wish I still had the code.

Man I forgot all about Dungeon World. I think I backed a kickstarter they did a long time ago. Never got around to playing it tho. I’ll have to dig it out and see if my game group is interested.

Very unconventional, but I’m going to allow it.

Pretty sure the guy in the top drawing has a lot of the arm muscles that don’t even exist lol.

Was supposed to take 2 weeks, went a teensy bit over-budget.

In other news Putin announces pizza budget cuts, orders family size triple pepperoni with cheese-stuffed crust.

I’m doing one right now, and you’re reading it. Other times I write scenarios for my D&D campaign, do 3d printing, and wiring/coding for IoT devices. Also making cookies. Also eating the cookies.

Paraphrasing Arthur C. Clarke: Any technology is indistinguishable from magic, to the sufficiently ignorant.

Dilemma: declare war or just keep the state-sponsored terrorism going and pretend to be a civilized country?

Squirrel 1: Hey have you ever noticed we have really sharp teeth?

Squirrel 2: Sure have, and our claws too.

Squirrel 1: Know what I’m thinking?

Squirrel 2: Yes. Yes I do.

Text files used to be a thing.

Main problem: agreeing on a banner design. Also a fair amount of hating each other.

No one would suspect anti-AI comments of being astroturf by authors and publishers - which means they could do so invisibly if they wanted to. I’m not saying they are, just that astroturfing seems like it would be easy to get away with if you pick the right forums.

Apparently pewdiepie still exists and wants attention.

Sounds like kind of a first-world problem.

I’ll never forgive whatever TV business entities were involved for not having Ben Browder and Claudia Black play their Farscape characters when they both joined the cast of Stargate. Because that would have been an awesome and perfectly plausible way to connect the two shows.

Firefly. Perfect combination of space and wild west.

Bingpot! So many people live in meme bunkers, where every issue is a binary battle between moral perfection and diabolical evil.
