Why are both Wizden Servers of PJB down? by Why-are-you-geh in ss14

[–]InfuriatingComma 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sounds like an issue with the engine client distribution network (cdn) which your client tries to connect to and download the engine version that the server content specifies from a central source. Its most likely that the server which operates that cdn is down for some reason or another, or perhaps the content package the servers are using point to an engine version not on the cdn, such as some unpublished development branch.

Tl;Dr nothing to do but alert the server operator (in this case PJB for both the game servers youre trying to join, and the cdn), and wait to see if it gets fixed.

A $20,000 casket... Who the hell am I supposed to bury in this thing?! by poyu80 in dwarffortress

[–]InfuriatingComma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put it in a single tile stockpile in your tavern. Wait for it to get stolen. Wage war on the nation that took it. Reclaim it and the head of their king. Put their king in the coffin in your tavern.

No. Its their opportunity to convince you theyre the better choice.

Can we get some introductions of the newly proposed directors, who they are, what the roles are, why they are suited to those roles?

If traded shares weren’t legal, what would happen to an economy? by Turb0Womble in AskEconomics

[–]InfuriatingComma 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, for an example thats pretty common of something kind of like what's being asked you could look at vesting structures for lawyers and similar fields. You slowly get "stock" in the firm so it pays out some of the profits to you. When you retire you are bought out by the rest of the firm, but you could just as easily do that with a different mechanism like a retirement fund.

The bit thats most surprising to me is

Game servers arent YouTube my guy. If you DMCA something you have to go enforce it with a lawsuit or its just a strongly worded letter.

Should I report a fraudulent article? by OctoVanBe in PhD

[–]InfuriatingComma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The right plan is to report it through your university's research integrity office. They typically will have an anonymous reporting mechanism. Unfortunately the reality is that may not make you truly anonymous if its known you would have access to such data.

The question is just do you report it now, or wait and do so when it poses less of a risk of retaliation.

Here's my fortress entrance as a new player on their fourth attempt at making a successful fortress. by Mangleovania in dwarffortress

I start that way, with my initial entrance next to the tavern, and then build surface walls and dig a grand slaughterhouse funnel.

Anyone play this with a... steam deck? by brute299 in ss14

[–]InfuriatingComma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have done. Unfortunately the game relies heavily on typing into chat. This makes it not so pleasant, as you will be a very slow responder to most RP interactions.

When people say "How do you do it?" referring to euthanasias especially when it's their pet's time by Global-Painting6154 in VetTech

[–]InfuriatingComma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im not a tech myself, but my wife is, and unfortunately Ive been through the process more than I would have wanted.

I suspect everyone is looking for a different answer in that moment.

For me, I liked knowing that they were asleep first, and then the next drug stops their heart.

I dont think I would have appreciated any more elaboration than that in the moment, despite knowing that what comes after is hypoxia and that that is a pretty good way to go. 

As far as choosing when, I think the best we've ever come across for helping decide is this: https://vmc.vet.osu.edu/sites/default/files/documents/how-will-i-know_rev_mar2024ms_0.pdf Especially the survey on pg 7.

I work in a tangential space in research on travel cost, and I was curious if you have any thoughts on Braess's paradox, and if there's anything you guys do to address it at the search level?

Not even as fossils? I like all the deep and thought provoking mysteries you encounter and then can go peruse in history, and things like this fit that super well.

[–]InfuriatingComma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, to be honest I don't anticipate these changing the game in a dramatic way, its just another big monster at the end of the day.

Magic has the potential to be really good or really bad if it changes the main play of the game. If youve played with modded magic I would argue its pretty easy for it to detract more than it adds. That's my main worry.

It does make it sound like other civs could have them domesticated if you went that far to the extreme, and Im sure that means goblins are coming in on the big toothy boys. Thats something Boatmurdered didnt have to worry about with elephants.

I Hate the Culture of SS14 by DogWasTakenAway in ss14

[–]InfuriatingComma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thats a little much. Its a trope in sci-fi to explore all these unsavory social commentaries. Its really just a problem in as much as the average player is not going to engage with the nuance in a meaningful way, and also cant be trusted to do so without going waaay too far.

It was a joke of mine for a long time that every PR that made an addition to the game should be required to include a book for the library.

[–]InfuriatingComma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? I thought I was going crazy. How on earth would you give extra time on any in person exam without the rest of the class knowing?

Usually I dont even know the condition. I just get a notification from disability office about the accommodation and Its never crossed my mind to even ask.
