Maybe not the actual biggest, but the loss of pirated material that i feel the most sad about is The Trove. The Trove was a website with a huge list of downloadable PDFs of source books for tabletop RPGs. I got the pdfs for everything DND, and also tried a bunch of other games I’d never heard of with a few friends. It also had downloads for other books and documents but I only used it for RPGs. I think it went down in 2019 or so.

Reminds me of the beach scene in Top Secret!

Gotcha, yeah it works on firefox on my desktop but not in the android app

How do you copy your score in this game? When I click Share > clipboard, it just copies the web address

I’m 100% in agreeance, making each character’s storyline its own game is the best move, it’ll get more attention than a Bachelor DLC. I was more surprised to learn that the Bachelor’s route wasn’t a dead project! And also very cool that kickstarter people get the game for free.

Damn, and here I thought they were still only 1/3 done with Pathologic 2

You may want to use a higher resolution image if you want to demonstrate this effectively

Fuck yeah bro. I’m about to break my social media addiction with an even more powerful addiction

In trms of the vibe that the title gives off, I guess. First category is a fairly serious-sounding, usually 1 word title, and the second category seems to be a grab-bag of silly titles and titles where the first word is “______'s”

Infinite suffering for a small group of people in exchange for saving everyone else in existence is basically the story of the Heralds in Stormlight Archive

Wrath of the righteous mentioned!!! I love that game but I kept getting through the first act, wishing I had made a different character, and then starting over.

It definitely wouldn’t be the left image. With legs like those, you could never pull the pants up past the first (or I guess technically last) level of branching. It would either be the big pants or a large number of seperate, smaller pants on each of the lowest branches.

To be fair, that’s just the culture that’s come up around the game. You have to plan how you play if you want to “win” in the first 2 years, but the only thing you get is a few candles lit in your backyard, and you can still “win” in later years if you play more slowly. You absolutely can just plant some stuff around a sprinkler, sleep until they are grown, and do everything you want to do without being at all efficient with it

Never thought of it that way! What a dystopian world we live in where intelligent conversation dies because there’s no good way to profit off of it.

I liked season 4, but season 1 just can’t be topped for me because of how grounded it was. Just normal characters from a small town experiencing supernatural things in a way that’s believable. The rest of the show is good as long as you let go of any wishes that it stayed grounded like season 1.

What, nobody read it before it was published? Whenever I’ve tried to publish anything it gets picked over with a fine toothed comb. But somehow they missed an entire paragraph of the AI equivalent of that joke from parks and rec: “I googled your symptoms and it looks like you have ‘network connectivity issues’”

I’m sure it was accidental at first, but eventually they found out bogs were great at preserving things. There are plenty of records of people putting food in bogs to preserve them.

Same. The undergrad paper that led me to pursue a PhD was a response to a published paper that didn’t use a control group.

Damn, you had that one ready to go

This one I presume?
