bitcoinpete: "North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un is reportedly furious about a Chinese viral video
that photoshops him into all manner of ridiculous scenarios: dancing, brawling, riding a pig, frolicking with Osama Bin Laden, and generally being made a laughingstock by Obama and Putin."
mircea_popescu: actually i should probably write on
the us fiction of "social mobility"
mircea_popescu: it gives a bad impression of social mobility
to
the workers.
assbot: tefan Gheorghiu Academy - Wikipedia,

bitcoinpete: lest
they make
the admissions board look bad
mircea_popescu: they couldn't give a bad mark
to someone
they had admitted.
bitcoinpete: asciilifeform i had
the good fortune of going
to a larger canadian uni, saving me from such poisonous offerings
mircea_popescu: you know incidentally...
this is exactly how
the "Stefan Gheorghiu" School of Political Science worked in
the 80s romania.
chetty: <asciilifeform> bitcoinpete:
this (as discussed in
the log) is not a
thing in every u.s. uni, but only at
the 'ivy' ones (most expensive, direct ladder
to
the lizardocracy)//trickle down will get
there
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no
twenty year old ever fell in love resulting in neglect of his work.

bitcoinpete: "The median grade at Harvard College is an A-, and
the most frequently awarded mark is an A, Dean of Undergraduate Education Jay M. Harris said on
Tuesday afternoon"
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: you're not being accused. you've just been convicted.
that's all. << Luke-Jr, of being a banana
mircea_popescu: well, need is relative.
they could use it, sure. a good beating's cheaper.
bitcoinpete: which is
truly unfortunate for
the immense population of north americans who need it
mircea_popescu: basically
the advent of
the internet
talkhole has resulted in a lot of people
trying
to save on
talk psychiatry.
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete
there've been a few people inquiring here, but none actually put fat on
the line.
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: pigeons: wow really
they are already
trying
to damage control
the 1% of
the press
they get
that isn't positive? and from a bitcoinpete (no offense lol) blog post? <<
the 1% happens
to be what matters in
this field. << pimps matter in every field
bitcoinpete: mircea_popescu: pankkake: natalie portman is a jew? I always knew something was off with her << only on

mike_c: for everyone who is dying
to know what moiety sounds like:
DreadKnight: even if WoW requires pumping money into,
there are quite a few players who use WoW
to make money, yeah, might not be in an official way like bitcoins, but still
[]bot: Bet placed: 3 BTC for No on "BTC
to
top $800 before August"
http://bitbet.us/bet/994/ Odds: 12(Y):88(N) by coin, 15(Y):85(N) by weight.
Total bet: 26.83847635 BTC. Current weight: 20,822.
mircea_popescu: ima keep going "there's a lot you don't know yet" at
this poor guy or what.
DreadKnight: there are a few extra creditz episodes on youtube why new mmorpg's don't make it as in
they can't compete with WoW etc
DreadKnight: mmorpgs are beasts
to make and
they require massive amount of players,
the main issue
that breaks or makes mmo's is
that
they keep being rpg's and have a lot of competition, also,
there's
the peer pressure; a lot of players stick
to a certain mmorpg because
their friends keep playing
them, getting
them
to switch would mean also making friends
to switch at
the same
time
assbot: Heroes of Newerth pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, you could have posted a screenie with
that eulora blog post :D
mircea_popescu: ( asciilifeform ever
tried playing h2/h3 with a girl ? ever found one
to consistently beat you ? )
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight well
there's a lot you don't understand (yet) :p
benkay: "cyranodeb" // read as cyra-node-b, because i have bitcoins on
the mind
DreadKnight: I'm not
too keen about reddit myself, ugly looking
mircea_popescu: thing cost 10 mn dollars, and
this is pre 2000 money. <
DreadKnight: dunno why
they don't let
that game project get buried already
DreadKnight: funny
they sold daikatana for whatever in humblebundle recently
mircea_popescu: fluffypony
trilema started in 2008. and since
then, i've written > 1 article a day, each day, every day.
mircea_popescu: (and when
they do get close
to bonds, disasters a la daikatana happen. it's very important
to have good supervision, key
to success.)
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight you won't get a bond as nobody. not even major players in
the industry get bonds.
mircea_popescu: it works splendidly, have her asdw while you handle
teh mouse.
DreadKnight: jurov, yeah,
that's assuming less risks in
the short
term anyway;
though in
the long run,
those percentages could be way more
than
that fixed profit cut I mentioned
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you ever
tried playing mm6/7 with a girl ?
assbot: Heroes III pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
DreadKnight: so she probably decided
to axe
the homm clone or had something
to do with it
jurov: DreadKnight why would you submit
to giving fixed % back even if
the game profits is less
than anticipated?
assbot: FuckU-FuckMe. Changing
the feel of communication.
assbot: FuckU-FuckMe. Changing
the feel of communication.
DreadKnight: jurov, was more keen on giving a fixed percentage back from
the investment with
time, besides
the investment itself ofc; I'm not really into stock market, but I guess
that would be fine, I could always buy
the dividends myself at some point :D
assbot: Fuck me ?! Fuck you!!! pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
jurov: DreadKnight so if you had in exchange for investment
to pay out % of profit as dividends, is
that unacceptable string
to you?
fluffypony: "I reached
the
top and I had
to stop, and
that's what's bothering me"
DreadKnight: seen quite a few people wanting
to make a homm clone, but nobody was quite up for walking
the walk
fluffypony: only when it's
the morning and I haven't had coffee ;)
DreadKnight: fluffypony, so yeah, what's
the link
to your project? I'm making www.AncientBeast.com
DreadKnight: fluffypony, on a desktop atm, but would definitely recommend a ChromeBook
to my parents and other people within a year or so
mircea_popescu: fluffypony guy's working on yet another homm for
the web.
assbot: It’s called Eulora pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
mircea_popescu: that's
the flagship game of s.mg, it's a proper mmorpg.
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, is
that one of your projects or a game you funded?
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight
that's exactly how i go
too. eulora is supposed
to be playable forever.
DreadKnight: the answer: I'm
trying
to make an evergreen
type of game, with high replay value,
that will also get new content and features over
the years; so it's not like an oldschool published game, where you got a finished product with 40 hours of gameplay and
then it gets stacked on
the shelf
DreadKnight: forgot
to answer
that last
time, well I misinterpreted
DreadKnight: DreadKnight:or even investors, as long as
the strings aren't forever <-> mircea_popescu:DreadKnight why not ?
