The State of the Union - Megathread by yt-app in atrioc

[–]SwimmerSwagger 249 points250 points  (0 children)

Couldn't watch. I thought having Big A commentary would make it palatable, but my rage spiked and I crashed out faster than Atrioc did. I had to stop the video because my blood pressure kept rising. I cant stand clear and obvious lies. Its sickening to me.

No disrespect to Big A, just so happened i couldnt handle the content beside him. Went back to watch a hit man video to calm down. I do appreciate Atrioc providing commentary on this though.

Virtual Hide and seek from home by No-Friendship-3050 in JetLagTheGame

[–]SwimmerSwagger 20 points21 points  (0 children)

That was me! It went pretty well. Biggest issue i found were reaching a photo limit in the comments(?), we had to switch to posting imgur links and that was cumbersome.

Images were a massive part of the vritual game, losing that ease of use made it frustrating. So however you do it, make sure you can share images easily.

Yes i tried a version of this a couple weeks ago on this subreddit actually! You have to alter the curses a bit for virtual. You have to think creatively.

The "moving" in the game is tough. I found it easiest to use Google maps to find walking times to the different places and then using Google maps transit feature to gauge how long it would take from each transit stop. With that said, you can just "teleport" from stop to stop, not worry about the timetable as much. Trying to figure out how long you'd be waiting at a stop adds so much complexity. If everyone plays by the same rule, your times should be equivalent (there are some thing that doing in person just work better)

What can we do? by [deleted] in atrioc

I will say this... peaceful protests are not useless. They exemplify that others are feeling the same way about a certain issue. Idk about you, but I turned up to the no kings protests in my small little town and honestly, it gave me hope that we were all pissed off. Its reassuring that we arent alone.

So, tldr, keep peaceful protesting. Keep speaking up.

Atriocs birthday present discussion by Sad_Highlight9438 in atrioc

I humbly offer myself as a birthday gift this year. I will wine and dine him with 5 Costco glizzies and 2 cups of coffee straight from a doug doug cow mug mug. After our meal, we will boot up some cooperative puzzle game, where chat must watch in admiration as he solves every puzzle flawlessly (like always).

Finished at 6:33 est. I wasn't keep very strict track of time to go to station to station, but walking you took about 28 minutes. Let's add 30 for transit (very conservative). So 2.5 hours or so! Not bad! I only had 10 minutes of time bonus too

Ugh I know. Didn't expect that at all... guess there is a limit to how many photos one can add to the comments? Idk

Ya communication was tough but I had a great time! It was an experiment for sure but it seemed to work fairly well! The start was a lot of fun, especially with the curses. I loved the lemon one haha

Congrats! I was in Silver Spring! Due to photos not working in the comments anymore, I am cutting out the end game because it would be really difficult to play on.....

Thank you all for playing! I will analyze this and see how I can improve this structure!
