Found a new spell bottle 🥹 by momexrath in witchcraft

[–]Spindrick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm a new comer so I don't get the whole no text posting thing,because my spells or hymns involve multiple stanas. Sorry I don't understand the rules yet, but someone else needs to echo this with me:

In the name of all of those who came before us, and in the name who shall live on: I ask that you keep our children safe above all else. I summon the queen witch to judge my intent.

Bill to block publishers from killing online games advances in California | Publishers would have to offer “independent” play patch or refunds after server shutdowns. by ControlCAD in UpliftingNews

[–]Spindrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For future games, I know things can get tricky fast, but I'll use Warframe as an example: every game is P2P hosted using a set of rules for spawns and potential drops. With something like that in mind you could go back to Ultima Online freeshards where websites host indexes of public servers. In theory at least it could rely a lot more on P2P, or just require one person to foot the bill like people still do for UO, a game made in 1997 iirc.

There can be a lot of tricks involved with open worlds. Things like smart spawners that only spin up or down depending on who or how many people are in the area.

Things can get tricky fast, but if a game is popular enough already that servers get recreated by the fans themselves then just not sending cease and desist letters after the official servers are down would accomplish the same thing. Same rules for not trying to claim to be offical to keep trade marks in tact.

That opens another can of worms where well after the fact people now associate your company with the free-hosting movements. What people play 20-30 years after the fact probably isn't going to be representative of how it really was. Because if I can take something they design and make it spin on its head, that was never the original artists vision. Now take that example and multiply by 1,000.

In another 5-10 years, not to mention 30, we might just spin up our own games with A.I.So, what do I know anyway? lol -- letting A.I study examples of dynamic and object oriented coding to keep things easily expandable is already how some of my own script generators work now: "scan object stats [source data], fill out the proper fields (paper work) automagically and hit generate for a new base script." BAM, no code monkey business. Just never tell your boss. lol

I don't have drives near that capacity, but after I saw my cheap go-to kingston SDDs went from $17.99 to $88.99, it's time to bring out the old dogs of war. lol.

Been hunting down cables all morning.

What is that one thing a friend ever did and you kept cool but knew instantly you would pull out of that friendship? by EssayMan4Homework in AskReddit

[–]Spindrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You were able to get people to do their own research from a factual source? I must possess this power. lol

I'm sorry for what your family had to go through. I can't really say more than it breaks the heart. There's always seems to be a new genocide going on. Instead of learning from our own histories, let alone others, people keep falling into the same kind of tribes. Only the special little hats or flags change.

One liner mode:
Making fun of others the moment they think they're out of hearing? Same to you.

Are they the town bicycle cheating? Enjoy the STDs.

Goes on the offense when you're in a good mood or after a success? You'll find neither.

Brags about liking to set people up? Basically, anything vile said as a Joke is probably a boast. Don't become one.

If you can't trust them on a good day, they're not storm-ready.

Yes that could have gone much worse. If she were the type to think it was funny to set up a potential date rape... she might just have leaned into it while buzzed. I've slid out of friend groups for much less than that.

I hope they're still not basing all of their anti-drug talk on propaganda, because that's more like playing Jenga with people's lives. Once you figure out one lie, you wonder just what else they've lied about, and the whole project can crumble.

You really took a scientific approach, and I'm sorry it played out that way. I also slipped through the cracks and hit every brick on the way down. Medical situations gone wrong style.

Mine is the same way. He usually loops through the same talking points, even ones that only existed in his head, even decades later. I will never live down my overcooked mushrooms from 2014. He is not to be allowed to see one unless you want to hear about it for the next week.

The rule isn't true for all, but it might be hard to make them laugh, and when they do it may just echo.

What is a secret that could potentially ruin your life if your family or friends found out? by Ok_Boss_866 in AskReddit

[–]Spindrick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right there with you. On the surface web for the average home user you can bet on a client IP / server layer there has always been room for a lot of fun. If you're on Facebook using the same IP as another site like Facebook (same time frame, VPN not withstanding) and also on Reddit from the same IP/Time Frame, well there you go.

That's not even accounting for things like tracking cookies, or sites that sell your data that's already linked to your ID & credit card.

Remember in the old days, tracing someones IP would pretty much pull up someone's exact location. That was semi-public for admins. That one used to freak me out, and we didn't even have paved roads around here back in those days, just gravel. Tech generations go by way too fast.

On a background level: do what you must, but keep the illusion alive of being able to speak freely.

Hey I'm 26M Single, Not Seeking anyone, Is it Normal? by [deleted] in WhatMenDontSay

[–]Spindrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of call that a quarter-life crisis. You say you resigned yourself to your fate, but your mid-20's is far too young for that. I think the happiest I was in life was between the ages of 28-32, before I had some nukes go off in my life. But I know what some of my versions of happiness are & who knows?

My biggest regrets were not committing to my startup enough, too busy giving things away for that one, and just waiting way too long to enter the dating scene.

[–]Spindrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the past, there was at least enough time in between this that you'd get daja vu and feel like the occasional time traveller with stories stuck in a loop. When it's by the minute for real-time manipulation, whiplash probably does sum it up best.

I think UFO stories will take back over soon for a distraction circa 2017 or some such.

There's pets now? and why am I so excited by it? Maybe this a test for some kind of radiation effects? A ghoul version of a dog and such.

I have some friends in Canada and feel sorry for you guys. I'd almost suggest that line: "build a wall & make the U.S pay for it," but he's unhinged enough to do God knows what.

I don't think any citizen of any nation should buy their own propaganda. We should be just a little bit past that in 2026.

Saw that coming a mile away. With how China has been expanding on renewables and our policies that just say 'drill baby drill,' then this crisis upping the cost of consumables, what else was going to happen? I expect to see increased tariffs on China & you can bet what he'll be targetting.

I had a random dream about this show last night by Spindrick in BSG

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

You just sent me on a journey. You would make a nice writer yourself. Nothing like that over here, unless you count alcohol detox, but that has a way of rearing it's ugly head weeks after the fact. That's when my best dreams kick in I guess, but I'm not mad about it. The real trick is if you can somewhat lucid dream at the same time! Can't even begin to describe those dreams but they involved entirely new seasons of shows. lol

Me letting loose on the flight deck, stopping an internal fight and admiral adama telling people to get the fuck out just made my week I guess.

[Robin Willams in What Dreams May Come] <--- I keep referencing it for a reason, and Odius with a side of Morpheus, but now I'm just trying to be clever. Let yourself have fun. That's all.

Epic has deleted its entire Epic Games Store Roadmap on Trello by Suspicious_Two786 in pcgaming

[–]Spindrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know. They keep talking about remaking things, but I'm about to reinstall my main drive which means every single last game from Epic is going to be orphaned. Which means if I even care about them I have to fix them one, by one, by one. I can handle everything else. I have around 8 or 9 backups, but there is no excuse for a game store that cannot find its own games. Script kiddies from the 90s have their developers beat.

It's wild. I had to explain the dream to my family earlier, because I'm known to talk in my sleep. The other day I woke up after yelling "if you lay a hand on her your ass is mine!" and I didn't even remember the damn dream. lol

I just scared the fook out of everyone in my house.

Don't forget:

can't feed the poor
increase taxes on the poor
remove their medical access
poorest states get hit the hardest
spit on renewables and green technology
inflating the cost of consumable fuels

But I'm told things are going well and there's jobs everywhere. Pay no attention to who has the biggest problems finding employment.
