DreadKnight: just saying that
a lot of non-tech / older people tend to use weak passwords
DreadKnight: seen
a chart with most popular passwords... 123456 and password being top entries xD
DreadKnight: BingoBoingo, 27, but since I'm into tech, parents learned
a bit from me, both are using linux for years now
DreadKnight: nothing sucks more than typing
a strong password on
a touch screen device.
DreadKnight: got my own algorithm for strong passwords that are unique and that I can actually remember and type for
a while now
DreadKnight: average user hears
a lot of WP, but doesn't know about bruteforce and strong passwords
DreadKnight: true, but it would have been nice if wp had
a timer to avoid that kind of abuse, mircea_popescu
decimation: statelessness has
a quality all its own
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, used to, but got popular faster then I expected and hacked
a few times without backup; might get back into writing soon, without using wordpress this time
DreadKnight: might end up writing
a moba do's and don'ts guide
BingoBoingo: My favorite part of Eve online is that anyone not explicitly an ally is
a potential adversary.
danielpbarron: i have fun playing dota2; my brother plays, and
a few of his friends
DreadKnight: it's rare that I win
a game because of another team mate; I usually get really annoyed and tell people what are doing wrong, but not many listen
DreadKnight: cazalla, lost
a lot of games in LoL while beating the whole enemy team by myself; all mobas basically have the same issues, but LoL has
a few more on top of that
decimation: yeah for instance you could hang
a sign above
a gasoline station saying "Gasoline is dirty" and business would not change
cazalla: DreadKnight, maybe you're just
a scrub player? no offense
DreadKnight: cazalla, takes
a few years to have
a proper list of players, that's if you really care about it, remove noobs constantly
DreadKnight: cazalla, yeah, but to get high mmr, you have to play with non retards, very wise hand picked people, takes time; and you need to either sync in time tables or to have
a lot of such people at your disposal, it's
a chore to have
a proper team
mircea_popescu: if it were 1980s the republicans would have been all in favour, because nothing's better for public contracts than
a humiliating, public defeat.
mircea_popescu:
a no fly zone would allow the russian airforce to showcase it's unmatched superiority by making short work of everything else.
decimation:
a no-fly zone would start
a major air battle
decimation: weak-knee western military policy 101: start
a no-fly zone
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> it seems improbable russia shot down the thing. << I'm waiting for the investigation to reveal
a la TWA 800 that the plane was doomed when it took off
cazalla: DreadKnight, most of your complaints regarding mobas are tied to low tier, bronze league superstars, you don't see it in higher brackets which is why it's an esport and
a good one at that
decimation: which euro nation wants to be the first one to try to start
a "no-fly" zone ala iraq?
decimation: another theory of mh17 occured to me the other day: while it seems to be detrimental to the rebel's cause, in the bigger calcuation it might actually help them quite
a bit
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform had
a rant or several as well
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight there's
a reason pros use particular tools rather than any other tools.
BingoBoingo: Well, the downside of skype is it forces you to interact with it through the interface it chooses, among other flaws. IRC though... You can pick
a client and if it ends up being shit simply switch
DreadKnight: but thanks to the BBA group, I log into skype once
a month tops, very annoying
mircea_popescu: in principle one shouldn't be able to spot
a b2.0 node on the network.
mircea_popescu: anyway the hash daisychanin satoshi used was moar like
a joke than srs.
mircea_popescu: sort-of where i was seeing the "b-
a public registrar" project that nobody wants to do going, in step 2.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that's
a bad idea. baking in gpg however would be splendid.
mircea_popescu: i actually kinda want this built, if there's any hardcore c programmer looking for
a major project.
mircea_popescu: suppose pow is, "find
a 1mbit value which xored with your block results in
a wol-like table which playing for 32 generations results in
a table identical to the table of the block as is"
mircea_popescu: but anyway, forget the bitter me. let's refine your automata idea
a little.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform let's laugh together. on one hand it's you saying that, one minute under some derp going in the bitbet comments section to say that since ThickAsThieves posted something here about
a topic of interest, and magicaltux also hung out on irc, it follows that bitbet is bad.
mircea_popescu: if the final state of the game flows deterministically from the state at any point, there's nothing for
a human to do.
DreadKnight:
a lot of people don't really like Heroes of Newerth's artwork, too detailed, yet your character is small
DreadKnight: there's something going on with Russia lately, because number one source of visitors for my project all of
a sudden; dota2 servers are filled with russians, they're very hated
cazalla: mircea_popescu, these twistys links never work for me, prob not
a big deal seeing it's been all nigger dick images past few days
BingoBoingo: Only recent dell hardware I've been impressed with were those Latitude netbooks they made for
a while
cazalla: nubbins`, i've only been given
a lower ranking than i expected
a few times with that
nubbins`: they do hide rankings for
a few seconds before you cross the finish line, just in case
DreadKnight: showed
a teenage girl Angry Birds, she was like "please uninstall", showed her Super Tux Kart, "woah, this is fun!"
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, yeah, played that one as well, I was
a moba junkie, it was part of the experience and motivation when designing Ancient Beast
nubbins`: guy says "i didn't think it had
a crown on the top"
DreadKnight: and there's the situation where
a noob from your team auto attacks instead of last hitting only or last hitting your creeps away from you when you're carry and he's support *sigh*
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, maybe Ragnarok Online? not sure if it's
a moba
DreadKnight: and there's the team mate that always does nothing but steals your kills on purpose, just because, him being support and you being
a carry
DreadKnight: so everyone wants the kills, but you can't have 5 carries in
a team, no doubt, because there's not enough farm / gold, mircea_popescu
HeySteve: ha funnily enough, I do sing kinda flat. tried
a few bands but never became
a rockstar
nubbins`: ;;google hey steve i think your singing was
a little flat that time
DreadKnight: sometimes the matches are over before they even begin, all picking
a carry instead of getting proper roles, or randoming and getting heroes they know what to do with
DreadKnight: 5vs5 sucks; you can't play with anyone on the globe because of latency, you can't play with friends because they're noobs for sure, it's harder than having
a band and you are stuck in
a chair all day without making any money
DreadKnight: one feeds, another one gets support and doesnt buy
a ward / curier, one is afk, one disconnects, one thinks he's carry with the support, one has tank but he's always last in team fight, another one has initiator but he doesn't initiate crap and so on
DreadKnight:
a lot of item trading spam or swearing / flaming :D
DreadKnight: every country has
a few rooms, lots of trading or random channels
DreadKnight: HeySteve, I agree; I'm keeping pay to win totally away from free to play; hated that I played Ancient Summoner (now called Rise of Mythos) and I was pawning most players, but everytime I was fighting
a noob that put
a few bucks in the game, I was getting humiliated, I eventually quit playing because of that
DreadKnight: was checking reviews for
a tablet
a few months ago and the tablet was pink, most reviews were like "and it's awesome that it's pink, my daughter will love it", mom also got
a pink phone *sigh*
DreadKnight: eventually there will be custom skins and such; seems
a lot of people care about vanity items in dota2 rather than carry about increasing their gameplay skills
DreadKnight: initially wanted to allow buying individual units, but did
a bit game design research and seems this is more fun and profitable and balanced, people won't buy only over powered units and some want to collect them all, so they might have to buy and buy until they're satisfied or out of funds
mircea_popescu: but yes,
a deterministic web game for btc is
a non starter.
mircea_popescu: field is new, so we don't know
a whole lot about what fundamentally doesn't work just yet.
mircea_popescu: i have some hard in-principle things that can disqualify
a proposition, but they're pretty sparse.
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight ok, let me put it this way : so far you're making it impossible to be helped. now, lots of people circle this chan in the hopes of getting some support, you're way ahead of them through
a combination of good luck and good luck.
DreadKnight: quite
a few seen "Video Games the movie" and asked "what about open source?", well, open source game dev is not even on the map for proper reasons, but I want to show it's possible
mircea_popescu: mkay. well, can you turn all this into
a business plan ?
DreadKnight:
A lot of people leave this country, including my best friends...
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, you're not in Romania anymore?
A bit confused
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, got
a bit caught up reading that blog post, though it's related to current situation
a bit, about using the proper terms :D
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight i lived for
a while in timisoara, cluj before that.
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, there are several ways of spreading
a webgame as well, "web publishers" like facebook, fgl.com, gamejolt.com and many more - the game is easy to embed anywhere actually
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, the game is playable from the website, SaaS business model (software as
a service), so what was your meaning?
mircea_popescu: Pierre_Rochard: kakobrekla: so everyone should pay off their mortgage / student loans / credit cards / car loans before buying bitcoins? Seems
a little extreme and just poor balance sheet management imho <<< i can see it. bitcoin is still not for the poor.
