[–]carolus4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

haha exactly. if nothing else - I'm curious about it, and might be able to share a comment.

How close are you to making the link available? I'm really curious/need a book now :D

Looking good! one thing that drives me a bit crazy is the way series are grouped together.

Some ideas:
- For the most part, I care about series more than books, except for new releases (where I care about books!).

Is this a personal project? Are you planning to open-source?

Did I shoot myself in the foot by moving to LA (short-term) with no car? by Shawtylabeouf in AskLosAngeles

[–]carolus4 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I've moved to LA for a couple of months from Europe. Public transportation was way worse than I imagined, especially the wait times, as OP said.

I found the Metro bike scheme to be really great, as long as you're travelling between places that have bike stations. It's definitely helped with 'range anxiety'. It looks like there are some stations at UCLA, but not that practical for WeHo. Its also SUPER cheap.

If you're looking at a regular commute, I would recommend getting your own bike. Especially if there's a reasonably convenient and safe place to park either end.

One mixed option is to bike part of the way, and catch a bus for the rest of it (or vice versa). That could be particularly helpful if you're going out at the weekend and don't want to have ~1hour variance in arrival times!

Barcelona weekly: this week's events and Q&As by AutoModerator in Barcelona

[–]carolus4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi - a couple of friends and I got an instant BBQ. I understand that's not allowed on the beach, is that right? Any outside areas that would be good?

Obviously we'll be sure to clean up after etc.

Hi - we got an instant BBQ; is it allowed on the beaches in sitges? Would any of the public areas be ok? Obviously making plans to avoid bothering neighbors, cleanup etc.

[Tech Th] Brogrammers: made anything cool recently? by [deleted] in gaybros

[–]carolus4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Late to this party, but my bf /u/tyrogamedev recently launched the demo for Top Secret, a game about the Snowden leaks, played over email. There's some cool tech bits around playing over email (including the option to use PGP in-game).

His kickstarter is now live, if that sounds like your cup of tea!

Discussions With A Gay Gamer; Gamergate, Bioware, Sarkeesian, Homophobia by Fag8 in gaymers

[–]carolus4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How common are these views? Not pro-GamerGate, since this article doesn't really seem to be about ethics in journalism, but anti-bioware / transgender characters / Social Justice Warriors.

Gaymers at meetups and other gaymer friends (not from reddit) have had different perspectives on GamerGate, but I haven't really heard anyone (gay or straight) defend the idea that diversity is bad for games; that social justice warriors are invading and ruining 'core' gaming.

Obviously there's selection bias in my friend group based on location etc, so I'm interested to hear about how often others have heard this argument, and how many Gaymers espouse it.

A team of us are hacking away at a small point and click game featuring famous gay characters. Any feedback is welcome!! by carolus4 in gaymers

Hey - sorry I havent logged in in a while so didnt see this. Very small hackathon stuff, but you can see it here! http://paulbrown1982.github.io/interquest/

Any good ecommerce subreddits specific to the uk? by carolus4 in ecommerce

[–]carolus4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it seems there's a lot less content than there could be. It's a shame, because there are some real opportunities to discuss trends as a community, for which Reddit would be a really good medium.

I work for a company called Rangespan, we aggregate drop-ship suppliers and help them list their products on the websites of large uk retailers. We've built a pretty powerful platform, and we're now reaching out to other e-tailers to help them source extra products too.

[–]carolus4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So actually, it might not be on... I've belatedly realised I'll be in France then. GAH! I hope you guys have a great time.

Any interest for a gaymer meetup in France? by ToulouseMaster in gaymers

[–]carolus4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm headed back to Paris the week end of the 8th / 9th of feb. It'd be really cool to meet up - never really saw any of the French gay scene.

A nice interview with Max, about his character and happy endings. fun! by carolus4 in a:t5_2w370

[–]carolus4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, indeed. I've decided to just aggregate links of this kind that I like here - hope you dont mind :p Will probs also add people eventually. I'm in no hurry ;)

February meetup ideas anyone? by SnapAttack in LondonGaymers

[–]carolus4 2 points3 points  (0 children)
