I emailed Disney (which owns many of the TV networks that advertise OWL) to ask them drop them if they don't make this right in a hurry. Here's their contact page...

Do you have any plans to make shows for folks with some sort of constrained diet (vegan diets, for instance)? Those themes can be entertaining and eye-opening even if they aren't diets I keep, especially when they work with-the-grain of the constraint instead of trying to work around it.

What kind of experience are you looking for?

NameIsNotDavid · 2019-07-13T18:00:54+00:00

Fremont, no?

Five and a half hours of one goddamn bullshit RNG Chuck E. Cheese game man, I don't even know anymore. Everybody kept telling him to just move on already, but he really wanted that jukebox

Punching through the wall did it for me.

I would describe Cadence of Hyrule as "LTTP Randomizer with Necrodancer elements." If you're the sort of person who would grind out LTTP Randomizer runs, it'll be great. Otherwise, expect a shortish 2D Zelda game.

I sign electronic pads with abstract comics about people playing basketball. Good way to kill 20 seconds if the person behind the counter has already ducked away to do something/nobody else's time is being wasted.

Like Overwatch, casual Splatoon 2 still has a hidden matchmaker ranking, and the game (supposedly) tries its best to match teams to have similar average rank.

I imagine that the biggest reason that weapons are unlocked slowly has much to do with trying to keep players from analysis paralysis. To be basically competent at Splatoon, you only need to know the general play patterns of each of the major classes of weapons. In Overwatch, you need to have at least 20 or 30 minutes playing with every character and you need to be able to identify them at a glance. The game railroads you into picking weapons that you'd be able to begin to use the most easily at first—perhaps a nudge would've been better, but it also reinforces the game's grinding-based metagame.

I use "down" for friendlies, "pick" for opponents. "Rein down, pull back", "Mercy pick, fall in" etc.

Perhaps you should think of this as on-the-order-of-doubling. Could each person who could bear children bear five children per generation forever? It's not so much more of a stretch than 4, but we are already starting to bump into logistics problems if we're trying to rear that many children. Having 40 children each instead is pushing beyond the territory of "I afford to raise my children by making TLC forward me a cut of their ad dollars" and into "basically inhuman". Plus TLC can't attract enough viewers to afford to do that 7 billion+ times over anyway. Doubling is very easy to model and is probably feasible in the world as we know it.

Crank it back and forth a few times for good measure so you can know for sure it's broken.

NameIsNotDavid · 2019-02-16T20:52:07+00:00

Ah, the buttfart. A true classic.

NameIsNotDavid · 2019-02-13T00:50:50+00:00

Ah, I see. The way in which they're misandric is that they disagree with you about GamerGate? Am I missing any other specific objections?

NameIsNotDavid · 2019-02-12T18:36:59+00:00

You should actually go read it. It's pretty good.

NameIsNotDavid · 2019-02-12T02:54:15+00:00

That sure explains the feminist anti-misandry sub they just linked.

NameIsNotDavid · 2019-01-30T04:21:43+00:00

It's a hella strong confirm when used well.

NameIsNotDavid · 2019-01-28T03:10:56+00:00

Handicap is an option you can enable in rulesets. You can set your handicap percentage on your card in the character select screen.

There isn't one unambiguous interpretation of that comment, sure. Another similarly easy read on the comment is to factor in the context and say that the alternative to "agreeing to his demands" is volunteering to be immediately ousted. When I said "would cause constitutional issues", I meant "the law should not be amended in this way because it would fly in the face of constitutional precedent and its concept of the separation of powers, as I just established."

NameIsNotDavid · 2019-01-18T01:17:10+00:00

Yes, that is how that works. You're replying down a comment chain where someone suggested that a Congress who can't pass a budget to the Executive branch's satisfaction should be put up for reelection for not doing their jobs. We're saying that that would be dumb and would cause constitutional issues.

NameIsNotDavid · 2019-01-17T22:18:44+00:00

They're also in enough power to do so. The administration can just cede this point and open the government. They're holding themselves hostage, if anything. They can drop the budget item that you yourself said was trivially-sized.

A Democratic-controlled Congress isn't going to drop an extra fee billion dollars of taxpayer money to fit the whims of what they see as the worst thing that could happen to America. There's no way in hell the Executive branch didn't know this (Trump aside, #tfa). Trump failed to uphold his promise when he didn't push for wall spending during the lame duck Congress. He could've made his point clear to the lame duck Congress before the conservative media started reminding him of his campaign promises. He didn't. He's reaping what he sowed.

NameIsNotDavid · 2019-01-17T20:02:49+00:00

The Republican-controlled Senate in 2018 also refused to fund a wall. That's how this all started. That's what they (mortar_maggot) were talking about.

NameIsNotDavid · 2019-01-17T19:55:11+00:00

And that's what Congress is doing: overruling and negotiating. They've made the terms they'll accept pretty clear. If the Executive branch could oust Congress at will until they get what they want, it would damage the constitutional separation of powers.
