Yeah, that's what Rome thought about the senate, what Britain thought about the House of Lords, and what the US thought about its Senate.

"Sober house of second thought."

Fortunately in this case none of the members will be incredibly wealthy and it's not a country, so you're probably right.

Nethack, Elite, Captive, Elder Scrolls, Magic Carpet, Simcity 2000 (reticulating splines)... oh, and a little game called Minecraft.

Procedural generation is common. The way Dwarf Fortress does it where the rules and game elements change is nearly unique. Pretty much just that and Nethack, AFAIK, which is why Dwarf Fortress stuck with Nethack-style ASCII so long.

It's difficult to rewire a dopamine pathway you've been traveling for 14 years.

Knowing that other people care enough to abstain for two days is useful in that process.

I never expected Reddit to change their policy. I have been surprised at how petulant, dishonest and unprofessional they've been. I would have expected a bland corporate response.

Anyway, onward and upward.
