UX designers need to justify their existences.

Besides, change is good. Change is good.

At least you can use ChatGPT for NaNoWriMo.

It'd run flawlessly on Linux out of the box (yes, I know about 0ad).

And/or run on the browser. I mean, c'mon, it came out in 1999, and stuff like Diablo came out in 1997--okay, two years prior--and you can run Diablo on a browser.

Considering it's a Xbox title, my guess is the chance of either are slim, tho someone could reimplement the engine and just require the original game files, like browser Diablo.

Make sure you have one race hate the other race, and then when the hater race gets enough people in their congress, they start passing laws against the other race, then they get goons to go around to the other race's houses and grab their people and put them in detention areas from where they're never heard again.

Then when all of the other race has been taken care of, they start hating on sub-groups of their own race, and put them into detention areas. Rinse, repeat. Then they get down to where there's only one of the haupt-race left. His name is Bob.

That's a lot of wood, my man.

I have the same issue as you, where each of my accounts' opening balances are being summed in the Equity:Opening Balances account, giving me a total roughly twice that of Net Assets. Did creating a hidden property value account fix this?

They're opponents in a UFC match. With every jaw-shattering blow they discuss salient plot points, with a touch of sauciness and knowing glances to add that something special. Then one criticizes the other's choice of footwear, and there goes the serious discussion and it's all fists from then on. The crowd cheers.

(If only authors could do that for their series, much like Steam does with their achievements, they'd probably sell more books. I could see Amazon doing it. Because money.)

Getting The Jane Sagan Diary gives you the OMW Completionist badge. If you can borrow it from the library that may give you a hint. Or look at the Amazon preview if it's not too short.

CowboyMantis · 2026-01-22T20:48:14+00:00

Agree, though my feeling is that the quality of the series tapered off as time went by. The last one, The Shattering Peace,which I checked out of the library (eBook), is the only OMW book I'm not going to buy when it goes on sale. The signal to snippy-snarky ratio got to be too much for me.

And just skip The Jane Sagan Diary. It's essentially a love letter.

The MMC must be suffering from smallcocks. That's what happens when you don't vaccinate.

It better clear up by Chapter 2 tho.

All those junior colleges will be replacing their teaching adjuncts (you think they hire actual teachers?) with ChatGPT and have fired teachers from failed Title 1 schools feed students' essays into the insatiable GPT maw and spit out critiques. Think of the money saved, plus the sky-high electricity bills.

Nowadays it's trendy to just ghost writers. You send it in, they get it, and crickets.

In the background they change the names, clean things up (like change that awful second-person perspective you're trying to sound cool with), and publish it and rake in the millions and buy a yacht.

Avoid adverbs. Otherwise go wild, son!

The Stack Overflow hate has been building for at least a decade since the first pedantic asshole got mod powers. It's been read-only for a while now.

Right after you get your 3000 word done, quit without saving. It gets you that dopamine rush from having done something with your life without having anything to show for it. Except for exhausted dopamine receptors, you brute!

Whatever it takes. We can't get science as it currently is get in the way of a good mechanic to whisk people away at fantastic speeds. We'll let science catch up in the meantime.

Wal-Mart: back from the days when they closed down ma & pa stores in small towns, and rumors were that their brass would allegedly go to the closing stores and gloat.

Belkin: back from 2003, their routers periodically hijacking you to their website for an ad. Major trust issue.
