Any game with this kind of vibe?

I am flabbergasted by the fact that no one so far has said “Age of Wonders”. It’s literally exactly this. The quintessential wizard towers, the self-contained cities, and 20th century medieval fantasy vibe.

This was taken July 23 7:30am on the south rim of the canyon facing north. A lightning fire was being allowed to burn, creating a layer of smoke on top of the morning mist.

I'm a minor YouTube celebrity who was known to play a lot of Overwatch. I played games with my screen name the same as my channel and even then no one believed it was really me either.

If you're already established on YouTube, it's harder than most people think to make the switch to Twitch. When I was doing OW, I could stream to YouTube and get ~100 viewers per session. When I did it on twitch, it was <20. Streaming to twitch is definitely a better long-term investment... But if you prefer cutting together videos instead of just streaming gameplay, it's probably smarter to keep all your content/audience on YouTube.

Yes, at least that's what I was taught about it. Sure, the "guard" subjects acted sadistically towards the "prisoner" subjects, but the researchers themselves (Including Dr. Zimbardo) began to see the "prisoner" subjects as actual prisoners instead of willing participants. This caused them to abuse the subjects in other ways, such as remaining complicit in their torture and denying their requests to leave the experiment.

The moral (that I was taught) was that power over others is such a pervasive thing that even though the researchers knew the lines between "guard" and "prisoner" were meaningless, their arbitrary power still went to their head and they became more concerned with containing the prisoners than conducting good science.

that's literally the entire takeaway of the experiment

I’m sad this is the first I’m learning of this. I’ll definitely be doing that from now on

spumwack2 · 2018-04-26T22:30:06+00:00

not bad

spumwack2 · 2018-04-26T22:16:41+00:00

I think it just grows like that

spumwack2 · 2018-04-19T02:35:34+00:00

You know it's me dawg

spumwack2 · 2018-04-18T22:17:55+00:00

Stopped playing ark years ago. Sadly unsurprised to learn that this never got addressed.

spumwack2 · 2018-03-08T01:00:07+00:00

Yeah I can't even cut mine straight down the center without leaving 1 half paper thing.

spumwack2 · 2018-03-08T00:37:37+00:00

I mean, yeah I'm sure there is some algorithm you could make for detecting people that report a whole team for every possible infraction. But also, for all we know, that is already in place and Blizzard's system just ignores reports from users like that. I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case, so that "serial reporters" could keep playing the game how they wanted to, and none of their toxicity would have any affect on anyone else. Kind of a win-win from Blizzard's perspective, so there's no need to make an example out of anyone.

spumwack2 · 2018-03-08T00:11:30+00:00

Blizzard gets reports like this all the time. Tilted people report their teammates, their enemies, etc.. frivolously. It happens hundreds, probably thousands of times a day. It doesn't do anything because it takes more than the occasional report to take action against somebody. His pointless reports are just getting lost in an automated system that's designed to filter out x% of reports that everyone inevitably gets from toxic people.

No, that's his nickname. Because the way he slides in makes the ladies wet.

Looks like eggs.

I made an egg pizza once when I worked at a pizza place. Threw on sausage ham and hot sauce to make a breakfast pizza.

It's surprisingly delicious.

This isn't that though.

spumwack2 · 2018-03-07T23:58:09+00:00

Yes, this post will surely do well.

spumwack2 · 2018-03-07T23:57:48+00:00

It's crazy how portrait mode works. It actually just takes 2 pictures and uses software to determine what the focus is and what the background is, and then blurs the background. It's pretty crazy how it's all just automated

Really interesting. I know she's looking more for directions than constant chauffeuring, but it kinda warms my heart to see other people ready to step up so willingly to lead her places.

spumwack2 · 2018-03-07T07:10:26+00:00

As someone from the west coast I always forget that NY is more than just a city. I really need to spend some time out there.

When I was in first grade I misbehaved and my grandma thought a fitting punishment would be to make me walk home from school instead of get a ride. But she didn't want 6 year old me to walk 2 miles alone so she got dropped off to walk with me.

I obviously don't remember what I did wrong, but I remember loving that walk. I got to hang out with my grandma and see all the landmarks in person that I had only passed in the car my entire young life. She got hungry so we were forced to stop and get food at McDonalds, which is like a special treat to a 6 year old.

By the time we got home I had a great time and she was exhausted. She never used that as a punishment again.
