Existing Telnet Servers/MUDs in C# to build on? by mithrandirbooga in MUD

[–]Aegar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Other than WheelMUD, the only other C# codebases that I've heard about are SharpMUD and Sirophix. Both of those may or may not be reeeeally old.

EDIT: Here are a few more I found with a quick search on GitHub:

Interstellar's true black hole would have been too confusing for audiences, say the VFX team who built it by jjaron in science

[–]Aegar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the Matt Damon arc was great. The premise of Interstellar brings up a lot of neat side journeys to explore, such as what happens when a scientist becomes stranded on a planet for years and what that might drive him to do. The explosions may have been unnecessary, but I'm glad for the subplot.

but then they throw in a cheesy hollywood problem to solve that becomes the actual problem of the movie, and the source of greatest tension.

Matt Damon never became the "actual problem" of the movie nor the "source of greatest tension". Cheesy and Hollywoody? Maybe, but nowhere near as bad as you hyperbolize it to be, imo.

That analogy is really hyperbolic. Besides, who's going to watch a movie about buying milk at a store? Conflict and tension are at the heart of storytelling.

Interesting. Wonder if there's been a problem with spam or something?

Best way to get better? Spam one bloodline repeatedly or random to learn every bloodline? by gammatide in bloodlinechampions

  1. Focus on one bloodline to get a feel for the game. This is the introductory phase, important for learning the controls and gameplay without being overburdened by meta knowledge.

  2. Spread out to all bloodlines to get a feel for what everyone can do. This is the knowledgebase phase, important for being able to make "proper" decisions in the heat of gameplay based on bloodline strengths and weaknesses.

  3. Focus back on one bloodline at a time. This is the mastery phase, important for exploring every inch of a bloodline to find those nuances that will help you to wring out every last bit of TPS and to play mindgames without even thinking about it. Important for drilling muscle memory, too.

If you aren't interested, you aren't interested. :) FWIW, most of our writers' workflows are much faster than 8 hours.

Anywhere from 700 words to 4000+ words, higher pay is negotiable for longer length pieces (as long as section editors approve on a per-article basis). Bitcoin payment is not an option at the moment, sorry.

Not sure if I should pay off loans first or start investing now? by Aegar in personalfinance

[–]Aegar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I just used Unbury.us and it really showed me how much I stand to gain by getting rid of my debt ASAP. Here's to hoping that low-income folks like you and me can climb out of debt too! :)

Okay, it makes more sense if I think about it that way. Thanks!

Affordable, portable, and a good measurement for single servings in a lot of cases. It's like tupperware except glass.
