Excellently written. I’m going to borrow this line of reasoning next time I hear Omarchy brought up at work

In Kitty’s defense, the docs mention the risks involved with full remote control, and there several ways to control the scope of permitted actions.

It’s tricky though. I’d like my coding agent to be able to control the terminal, but I’ve found it harder to sandbox kitty than, say, a multiplexer like tmux/zellij. Herdr is a bit less obvious.

Fwiw I’ve always liked it being opt-out over here in Belgium. In fact, among the European countries it’s just Germany and a handful of others that don’t do it that way.

Being an organ donor isn’t a big deal when everyone is. On the political level it’s just a given.

When my dad died he gave three other people an extended lease on life. It helps me to think about that sometimes.

I can ‘get’ people feeling weird about getting picked apart once they’re dead. But the thing is, you won’t notice much. And they’re going to cut you open at the funeral home anyway. So you might as well go out paying it forward.

Golgotha gave me glotrot. My own fault: I should have taken the ‘sore throat’ seriously. When I looked up what I’d have to do to cure it I just removed it with a wish command (in other words: I applied a cheat code). Wish I hadn’t though, because it felt like I tarnished my save

Been a while since I last played Qud but almost not a day goes by without me thinking I should play it again.

In roleplay mode though.

I don’t think I’d emotionally survive permadeath 20 hours into a run.

My longest save has 30 hours. Couple of deaths along the way. Nowhere near ready to cross to the eastern half of the map.

How anyone plays it as a classical roguelike is a mystery to me

The Trouble With Younglings

Eh, sometimes a simple question is just a fun way to get the conversation going.

Can I please stand behind you in the airport security queue, just to see what happens?

Happy to say I’ve so far been spared from witnessing this. There’s an obvious shamelesness to doing anything on speaker in public, but this one would actually hurt

This one has been sitting on my wishlist for some time. Great art style and, unlike Rimworld, there’s gamepad support, so I could play this on my Steam Deck. What makes me hesitate each time is that games like this can be really hard to return to after a break. I get the same with city builders. You invest hours into slowly building up this complex ‘machine’, take a break, and upon returning realize you’ve forgotten what your priorities were and mess everything up.

I wish I was brave enough to keep playing. Even at 720p docked on the Switch I was just too stressed out all the time. The low rendering distance didn’t help, I’ll admit. Beautiful world though

Right?! If it’s a given there’ll be an encore anyway, what’s even the point. Just means a whole lot of extra clapping for literally zero point. Like, at this point it’s just a part of the crowd work kit. I feel played every time
