t take it seriously / not play too often
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, I'm not the problem, the game sets me up with weirdos most of the time and it's bad for my health; I don'
t always have semi decent team mates online to play with
cazalla: DreadKnight, it doesn'
t require purchase of champs at all unless you're adhd and won'
t stick to one role
cazalla: so you message the good ones, start playing together, build synergy, you won'
t start with it from game 1
DreadKnight: lol doesn'
t have denying, no scrolls, no curiers, simpler mechanics cazalla
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu> the thing is... the country can'
t pay anyway, so there's not much pork to be had out of "we need better new planes" >> Not to mention the US is the the business now of buying worse planes
mircea_popescu: the thing is... the country can'
t pay anyway, so there's not much pork to be had out of "we need better new planes"
decimation: well, in any case russia isn'
t going to stand for foriegn aircraft patroling its border, and the world knows it will "arm its proxies" or whatever to make it happen
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
BingoBoingo: DreadKnight: Amazing how often older technologies work better than "advances" that would pretent to replace them isn'
t it
mircea_popescu: in principle one shouldn'
t be able to spot a b2.0 node on the network.
mircea_popescu: honestly i don'
t think i actualy understand what i want re chaining
mircea_popescu: except you don'
t have reward, you just increase 4fold the size of the field.
mircea_popescu: well they don'
t do it. they do something that's "just as good".
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight i don'
t like the "learn this succession of small movements" part.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but the explanation is i nthe log, which part didn;'
t make sense ?
DreadKnight: a lot of people don'
t really like Heroes of Newerth's artwork, too detailed, yet your character is small

DreadKnight: MMR system is fun when you don'
t have to rely on team mates
nubbins`: guy says "i didn'
t think it had a crown on the top"
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
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
HeySteve: ThickAsThieves I guess so yeah, but I don'
t like the pay to win kind of thing at all
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: field is new, so we don'
t know a whole lot about what fundamentally doesn'
t work just yet.
DreadKnight: as in, I can'
t spend tremendous amounts of time working on it along with other people if it wouldn'
t sustain itself, not to mention me eventually
DreadKnight: yeah, donations, it wasn'
t worth much but I held on to those coins and sold when it started to get fatty
DreadKnight: or even investors, as long as the strings aren'
t forever
DreadKnight: indie game devs don'
t usually go for publishers; they rather make crowd funding campaigns to avoid strings attached
DreadKnight: I don'
t really need a publisher, need a bit of funding / sponsorship to speed things up and get some help with coding
DreadKnight:
t of the Ancient Beast units will become popular thanks to their license / attribution and usage, so it's all like a virus, to spread as much as possible
DreadKnight: there will be a mode for subscribers that will have a monthly ladder, top players receiving prizes; each match and victory will be logged; in this mode, your units will die and you'll have to purchase card packs with random units inside, so you won'
t have access to every single unit in the game unless you pay, also each victory will take a toll, as you'll have casualties most likely; you'll also be able to feed your units to impro
mircea_popescu: it won'
t work if i have to kill you all, and i won'
t have to kil you all.
Luke-Jr: addresses aren'
t public keys
DreadKnight: which everybody has access to, but which won'
t be have a ladder / prized / money involved at all
mircea_popescu: this log is fucking epic. guy that's got himself blacklisted by derping at me can'
t spell funding and is looking for $500.
mircea_popescu: DreadKnight if there's no randomness involved people won'
t be likely to play for btc.
DreadKnight: in chess you don'
t have randomness; the random part is that unlike chess, you pick your units (tools) as you go by, so from hundreds of units, you'll only put like 5 or so into play in a match
mircea_popescu: it's stupid-easy to protect from : a) ban facebook. b) don'
t allow ambiguous reference to expensive resources.
mircea_popescu: wait, this wouldn'
t be the same guy i was lulzing at last month ?
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.
BingoBoingo: cyranodeB: Just read someone derping about it a few hours ago. Don'
t care enough to look into it because this shit just happens.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu> wait... bb had a GIRLFRIEND ? << I don'
t think I've had any that would be in Lithuania atm
mircea_popescu: BigBitz: Bitcoin markets don'
t revolve around news. <<< bitcoin is here to make the news, not to follow the news.
BingoBoingo: I've never had a problem with champagne, now "champagne" as in the generic bubbly stuff from places that shouldn'
t be attempting such a thing...
BingoBoingo: Ah the few people who considered wanting the Ether didn'
t want it when they heard about the hangover when you come to
mircea_popescu: the problem here is that the past few days have kinda clearly shown the complete lack of any counterparty. you can'
t trade without cp.
mircea_popescu: pankkake: /r/buttcoin can'
t deal with bitcoin opinions that are not the standard /r/bitcoin crap; they expect to fill their bingo cards and it doesn'
t work << quite.
mircea_popescu: jurov aww why. honky tonk galz can'
t lick each other out no mo ?
fats_cd03: on ma mobile and
t-nazis has my traffic filtered
DreadKnight: I might have got the passphrase wrong, tried a few times and didn'
t get a field anymore to write in
pankkake: I don'
t know why I never noticed the URL did not change… could have saved me a step
mircea_popescu: you don'
t actually need any input from it to do this. just flip its state twice.
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, website doesn'
t provide any info about what this is exactly; I did one or more transactions on bitcoin-otc thingy a while ago if that helps
mircea_popescu: like you know, bitcoin is the bitcoin dollar. doesn'
t mean anyone's printing it.
mircea_popescu: i suspect this is deliberate. if people wanted interactive they wouldn'
t do online porn, they'd get a gf.
HeySteve: heh I tried that sexgangsters thing, didn'
t seem very interactive tho
rithm: if my bouncer didn'
t work i'd quit bitcoin
mircea_popescu: as a rule of thumb, i would say it's a great idea that if one's using a bouncer, that one sets the bouncer up so if it fails three times in five minutes it stops trying and shoots the owner an email or something. join/part spam is definitely annoying in all channels, even if most won'
t do anything about it.
mircea_popescu: Rassah: p.s. I'm not saying their etherium deal is a good one. I don'
t think investing in ether can in any way give a better return than investing in bitcoin... I don'
t think vitalik is much of a finance guy, either, so I'm not sure if this "ipo" ca be blamed on him << what the fuck sense does this make ? some guy that's not a finance guy involving himself in finance things is stupid by any conceivable definition of th
mircea_popescu: Rassah: My tribe consists of Tsiolkovsky and Tozoni, so I've been surrounded by extremely intimidating levels of inteligence... < if that means konstantin, wasn'
t the guy dead before the war ?
mutate_: I'm fairly keen on being in the queue for one of the first alien blowjobs, before the novelty wears off and they start marrying humans and making them unhappy. Unfortunately I can'
t by any magic Ether cards because maths and computers got you fairly badly bullied at school and so I simply use a computer to have my bank details stolen from and know nothing whatsoever about Linux. What can I do?
jurov doesn'
t always talk in 3rd person. but when he does, he uses /me
mircea_popescu: well cause it ain'
t making any sense. why do you chew the scenery ?
mike_c: mike_c thinks you aren'
t making any sense.
adrrr_: How do you do? lol I don'
t know
mircea_popescu: i don'
t get this whole "security detail" bullshit for politicians and bureaucrats.
chetty: well you just can'
t let kids see the emperors new clothes
mike_c: tmq often rants about gov'
t officials at even much lower levels with their ridiculous tax-payer funded security details fouling up things for everyone else with their special traffic treatment.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony sounds to me like someone just got told "you can'
t be mp, stop trying"
fluffypony: "It's a shame because you make great points, but you express them in a manner that is all over the place bordering on incoherent. Not to mention, you unintentionally come off as a bully calling people fascists, etc, and criticizing people in such vitriolic ways just because their views don'
t match your own perfectly. To be honest, I agree with you, but I can'
t imagine you're doing anything but preaching to your own choir by expressing your
fats_cd03: a cursory search didn'
t reveal anything
punkman: asciilifeform: finally read anathem, wasn'
t such a backbreaker. maybe the big scrolling html made it go down easier than having to turn 900 pages by hand
nubbins`: the assumption that blowing your savings on a speculative investment when you have large pre-existing financial committments isn'
t a good idea
mike_c: the risks aren'
t equivalent to *you*.
xmj: you don'
t want to avoid it
xmj: you don'
t need cds if they're of equivalent risk.
