@webbedspace YOU HAVE DREAMS WHERE IT ALL FALLS OUT AND PEOPLE LAUGH. YOU NEVER TELL ANYONE BECAUSE YOU FEAR YOUR DREAMS ARE UNORIGINAL.

-
@DGoodayle It's a widget.
-
@DGoodayle Do you mean a shopfront where you can get all the stuff already on Humble? Been waiting for that for a fair while now.
-
@patrickashe the last few days for me have been dominated by this thought.
-
@Carachan1 I liked I because it raised issues like "is it bad to be a mass murderer?"
-
@KommanderKlobb @caitlinmoran I don't see that the one-day boycott will have any impact. And I'm sceptical of the "report abuse" button.
-
@KommanderKlobb @caitlinmoran Do you remember when one of the FemFreq videos got taken offline, because it was marked as abusive by trolls?
-
@KommanderKlobb I just don't believe that People That Care About This Stuff are a large enough proportion of people that it would be noticed
-
@KommanderKlobb Like, I reckon of Twitter's userbase, it's easily under 1%, and any drop will be lost in the noise.
-
@KommanderKlobb Who is this supposed to be sending a message to?
-
@KommanderKlobb I am worried that the proposed solutions will: make things worse, or drain energy away from harder, more effective solutions
-
@KommanderKlobb It's ultimately only fixable by Twitter spending vast sums (much more than currently) on a well-trained abuse team.
-
@KommanderKlobb And well-defined procedures for appealing decisions.
-
@KommanderKlobb I think it's very unlikely they will, and if they do it'll be largely due to internal decisions, not external.
-
@KommanderKlobb Though, to be fair, if they are persuaded externally, the most effective way is probably via newspapers.
-
@haikus_by_KN We're currently planning on doing that, with long long gaps between episodes.
-
@haikus_by_KN Mutazione
-
@haikus_by_KN I mean, I actually think it's a bad idea, face value. But it is the best fit for the game.
-
@haikus_by_KN (Because : make a short game. Then make a different game. Don't spend forever making the same thing.)
-
@HilariousCow yup
-
Arg. Want to make a stupid thing for iOS, but I can't add my iPad til enough of the dev site is up that I can fucking review an agreement.
-
@smestorp yup, the iPad Mini.
-
@smestorp that's okay; I wanted to play with OF stuff and I've never done that on iOS, so there's probably too much failure.
-
@smestorp Much appreciated offer, though.
-
@therussmorris " Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles" only gives me a "Review" button, which just links to devimages.apple.com/maintenance/#updateAgreement
-
@therussmorris If you know another way to get to it, I'd love to hear it, though.
-
@therussmorris Bah: even there it says: "the user with the Team Agent role must review and accept this agreement in Member Center."
-
@therussmorris There's a legal agreement I need to sign in iTunes Connect, but I need to do the other one first.
-
2562 was amazing. Fabric was great. The 25 stopped for me as I ran for it (and wasn't already full). Wonderful evening all round.
-
@jennatar I like our tweets lined up. There was an E'd up man who kept touching people, and his jacket felt really soft, but plastic.
-
It's 4:20 in the morning, and I'm going camping tomorrow. Also, I don't have any weed to bring.

@martinhollis it sometimes feels odd to be in videogames and basically not have a competitive/urge to mastery streak in me.

Trackside graffiti : THE WITCH IS DEAD BUT SPELL REMAINS
-
@smestorp totally! And what's interesting to make isn't identical to what's interesting to play.
-
@smestorp and I can appreciate competitive games, but they're usually mainly scratching an itch I'm not feeling at the time.

@TomNullpointer @unity3d You can at least search the actual log file (unless you need the object reference, I guess)

-
@torahhorse good thing I love badminton!
-
@LewieP Yes. But there's value in publicly talking about what they are, and acknowledging one's own privilege.
-
@LewieP Which is another way to read (most of) the Kuchera piece you're clearly talking about.
-
@LewieP Upfront honesty about those barriers is a good thing.
-
@LewieP hm. Largely agree with you in terms of my experience, but that that is his experience seems fair enough.
-
@WordMercenary @LewieP Becoming part of a useful scene is grunt work, and he maybe alludes to it when talking about going to events?
-
@WordMercenary @LewieP Def agree about the importance of it, though. Though exceptions exist -- it's not strictly necessary.

@tigershungry persuade me in the pub tonight
-
Hello. I am home from the pub. I bought two kinds of food that were reduced at the supermarket.
-
Having thought about this for a little bit, I am going I put one of the discount foods in the oven.
-
This will create a large amount of smoke, but I can deal. I think.
-
@haikus_by_KN I am alas very matter-of-fact. That said! We should spend some time together drunk, I think I would enjoy it.
-
@lingmops I am pretty sure it is. The problem is that the oven no longer wants to be ovened - it's in protest after last weekend.
-
@HilariousCow I don't know if I will! I really enjoyed committing to it last time...
-
@LewieP The last section of vice.com/en_uk/read/i-learned-how-to-make-it-big-on-the-property-market

@edclef @psychicteeth Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Circle that comes in from the outside instead of a bar?

-
Which brings us round to unpopular opinion time! I think evolutionary psychology is a great idea, even if actual instances can be fucked up
-
Like the last section of that GAY ANIMAL SEX post, that is prime "reasonable and restrained conclusions about human behaviour with...

...reference to animal behaviour, noting necessary differences in our respective environments and evolutionary pressures" territory.

@KommanderKlobb I do actually have a G&T fizzing away just here. Also open in tabs: lots of references on C# Regexes. #wooooo

@brandonnn @KommanderKlobb @helvetica if "\s*(?<l>\w+)\s*:\s*(?<r>[^,\n]+)(\s*\,\s*(?<r>[^,\n]+))*$" is wrong, I don't wanna be right.

@LewieP did the B O T T L E O F W I N E keep you company, at least?

No homestucks yet

@richardkellum @London_Geekfest wouldn't mind taking you up on that -- am a while off, though.
-
@TomNullpointer hey, returning to 9 worlds today - can I impersonate you and steal your ticket?

@TomNullpointer ha, I mean I could - but I just meant to get your ticket.

-
Meta-programming fun in Unity: I want to call some code (make a ScriptableObject) once a auto-gen'ed C# script has been compiled and loaded.
-
If I listen in OnPostprocessAllAssets in a AssetPostprocessor, it triggers too early (when it starts the compilation in another thread)
-
If I call "AssetDatabase.Refresh(ImportAssetOptions.ForceSynchronousImport);" I get a big scary warning message (and it still doesn't work)
-
I can't start coroutines or listen for Editor.isCompiling in an AssetPostprocessor, as it's a one-shot deal (no Update)
-
I could put that stuff in a separate Editor script, but you need to have a GUI for that to work (I think?).
-
So: kinda stuck. Unless I just have a window that is empty (and people have to call up manually), or make people push a button.
-
Unless... (as occurred to me writing that last tweet) I spawn a Editor Window to listen when doing the import (that then closes itself)
-
Let's try that! Thanks, rubber-duck Twitter! (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging)
-
@benthorizon Oh! It did! Bit ugly (you can see the window pop up, and it'll break if you close it), but seems to work fine.
-
The thing about "a great hack" is that they're not usually just elegant or just nasty -- they're both at once.

@webbedspace It's not a coincidence, though. We just killed all the megafauna a few thousand years ago. Job done.

If anyone would like to go for a drink, I would really appreciate it right now.

@jennatar at a certain point you stop wanting to do difficult tasks you don't enjoy and aren't particularly good at.

@tef I want source control that 1) I can use 2) I can tell artists to use and 3) without having to constantly apologize to them.

As always, it's communicating affordances to players that is hard.

@tassosstevens Was actually a out of context snippet from an email I was writing -- but I've got to that stage with many projects.
-
@tassosstevens Relates to -- for this project we've been talking about making the name communicate our goals and methods some.
-
@tassosstevens Can easily give the player a button, but letting them know what it does and why they'd want to press it is hard.
-
@patrickashe What do you need?
-
@patrickashe No, you need way more than that. hackspace.org.uk/view/Starting_a_Hackerspace is a decent place to start.
-
@patrickashe Obviously you don't need to build a community from scratch -- but otherwise it'll be you drinking cups of tea alone.

@jennatar But how will I fill the -- as Firefox estimates -- ten minutes until it finishes downloading otherwise?

For movies : large screens, expansive gestures, seeing people's faces past data. For people: small gestures, low emission screens.

-
@D_Nye_Griffiths @betterthemask @AboutThisLater oooh, I would if I wasn't already promised to a housewarming BBQ. but thanks for the thought
-
@betterthemask Alas, I'm off to Edinburgh on the Tuesday. Week after?
-
@patrickashe @tigershungry that's a shame -- I heard Dan Marshall was showing his new game there.
-
@patrickashe @tigershungry (because it's called "The Swindle", geddit?)
-
@patrickashe @tigershungry Thanks, I was proud.
-
@betterthemask let's do Tuesday! Hurrah for long term planning!
-
Saw someone playing a 2p iOS game on the tube! But then I recognized them from London Indies.
-
@smestorp no idea, just saw them across the carriage as I was getting off. My multiplayer fu isn't good enough to detect from body language.
-
@mcclure111 for some reason, my mind went to domme/sub pair programming.
-
@hannahnicklin oh yeah! Relatedly, I am coming up to Edinburgh on Tuesday. Let's do a hang?
-
@tef I'm wearing a suit and tie, too (for the same reason you are).
-
@metasynthie @m_kopas @GoneHomeGame bah, okay, now my phone has loaded the responses to this tweet which got there way before me...
-
@bonzrat @Carachan1 they knew she was coming back but didn't think to mention they'd be away -- whatever, they can suck it.
-
@tigershungry I wonder if you could board a plane with a pasta-based boarding pass...
-
@resiak the best tool is the one you already know
-
@resiak also, have you read Olia Lialina's essay on the "Turing Complete User"?
-
@raiganburns I would think the hardest part would be the logistics of restoring everything between each visitor. And the set design, ofc.
-
@raiganburns Gone Home actually spun me out into thinking about natively digital versions -- a version where you boot a VM, for instance.
-
@raiganburns But of course, that is also basically a Christine Love game.
-
Gone Home: more similar to a Christine Love game, or to Dear Esther?
-
@vectorpoem @jonbro @raiganburns Yeah -- for physical games, Punchdrunk seems like a better comparison? Not that I've actually seen them.

Not to visit a bridge, though.

@jennatar did you see this dog suicide article? hitselfdestruct.com/2013/08/the-dogs-of-summer.html
-
@christinelove is the game coming out on Humble or something like it, or shall I get it from Steam?
-
@awesommelier Don't go to Dumbarton with your little dog, I guess is the take-home lesson. Or to Dumbarton at all, really.
-
@jonbro @jennatar Wikipedia says it's true, so it must be en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overtoun_House#Dog_deaths_at_Overtoun_Bridge
-
@brandonnn That line!
-
@christinelove Okay, thank, I will -- I find th Steam client irritating, but it's worth it.
-
@jonbro Nope, but I've been thinking about this kind of process since I read about content.stamen.com/watercolor_process
-
@jonbro 'Course, I'm only happy if I can do it real-time, so.
-
The Humble purchasing experience is way friendlier for non-games people than the Steam one.
-
@jonbro Yeah -- really depends on the source image you're working from, though.
-
@jonbro oooh, the videos weren't loading, so I only now realized they keep the texture static relative to moving objects when doing 3D stuff
-
@Carachan1 ohhhh! Sweet! We will overlap (I am heading up tomorrow). Let's do an Edinburgh-based hang?
-
@john_brindle I played it! It continues to be good!
-
Fuuuuck. Left my card at home. £10 should be enough for a week in Edinburgh, right?
-
Also I missed my train. My tickets good for the next one, but I no longer have a seat reservation and I'll miss @oopsohno doing stand-up.
-
Well done, George! Good work making today all that it can be!
-
@oopsohno oh, actually I have 20 minutes to get off the train, see if I can pick up my ticket without a card and get there.
-
@oopsohno that could happen, right?

@Gillespionage That's pretty great, I must admit.

@rubzo Oh! There's a non-zero chance I'll be in Austin in September (for Fantastic Arcade)
-
@rubzo 19th-26th ish. Could very well not happen, but maybe!
-
@rubzo Oh, that sucks! Some day you might make it to another Wild Rumpus, but I guess not this time.
-
@LewieP It's not really bizarre, though. They obviously wanted to announce with as big a splash as possible, like all their competitors.
-
@LewieP it's only bizarre if you wilfully take political statements and read them as honest. Which can be fun, but.
-
@oopsohno no, I don't. But it's a good idea. I do code with paper in front of me, and am usually more productive when ignoring the computer.
-
@oopsohno I like paper especially when I am doing 3D/2D stuff (relatively often with games stuff). Diagrams!
-
@oopsohno Also, todo lists/writing down what you're working on so you remember after you get distracted. Surprisingly necessary.
-
@failnaut I don't like having sympathy when I read radfem responses complaining about being insulted by the slur "cis".
-
@LewieP I guess this comes down to : how much does cynicism let people get away with saying and doing bad shit...
-
@failnaut It's not a slur, usually, but it can and has been used as one. Not that the hashtag is an example of that, exactly, but seeing...
-
@failnaut ... it crop up on my timeline has caused me to unfollow a one or two people. I can acknowledge this is an expression of ...
-
@failnaut ... privilege, but I'm somehow not regretful about doing it.
-
@annashipman curious how that happened to be, and found this blog suggesting it's via Apple? ipgcounseling.com/blogs/courtney-zehnder/uncovering-emojis-covert-homophobia

Just got S-S-S on my first online Divekick match (about 10 minutes after I played it for the first time). Maybe I do like fighting games?

@smestorp where are you, @smestorp?
-
@robertpeacock22 I am currently in Dagda. Come play Love Letter, then maybe see some shows?
-
Results of impromptu boardgame evening: Love Letter is amazing, Roses and Skulls is still amazing, @terrycavanagh's version of Roses and ...
-
... Skulls is weird and maybe not quite as good (but interesting to see), and Twopin(?) Is really interesting, and now in my personal canon.
-
@terrycavanagh @smestorp was telling us all these rules I disagreed with, and I was delighted to find there were folk variants.
-
@terrycavanagh I disagree with: random discards, always showing your own cards first, only bidding after everyone has played, and more.
-
Aims for Edinburgh: cheesy chips, Palmyra's falafel (or maybe vegetable pakora wraps). Maybe Mosque Kitchen, too.

@1000tongues @gutefabrik alas, I will be home on the correct side of the Atlantic.

@1000tongues @gutefabrik though, I am always up for gigs doing indie game commentating.

Correction to earlier tweet: @smestorp (who taught us it) tells me it's actually 'Toepen'
-
@john_brindle oh man! I gotta play this at some point. I have felt this feeling before in games, but it's never felt intentional.

There are a lot of shows happening up here !

But what I really enjoy us that _everyone_ engages in talking about, comparing, recommending them. It's a good way to live.

I can confirm that last RT is true.

@vetraskr Well, it was apparently written (at least in part) in Twine. I would like to see that Twine file!

@LewieP They're doing prediction client-side, but that needs to be kept lock-step between players, so it has to be server-side.

@LewieP determinism failing to happen when it was supposed to happen is why multiplayer RTS games can die saying "synchronization lost"

@bfod That conversation system!

Been flailing a bit due to lack of documentation, but it looks like the NavMesh stuff in Unity is going to be a real help.
-
I may change my mind when I have to put in ladders and animate the characters, though.
-
@jonbro nope, they need prebaking (though you can turn off links, change some weightings at runtime.) But that's fine for us.
-
@jonbro would be great if you could trigger runtime preprocessing in the background, though, wouldn't it?
-
@jonbro a* is fine, it's transforming back and forth between representations that's hard. Then again, if you've just generated the level...
-
@jonbro looks similar, from the little I've seen of Unity's so far.

Everyone nervous about people getting on at Newcastle and claiming their rightfully reserved seats.

I think I got lucky, though the couple opposite didn't make it.

This is a entertaining and insightful review of Electronic Dream Phone rockpapershotgun.com/2013/08/26/wot-i-think-1996-electronic-dream-phone/
-
I am also choosing to live in a world where the (lovely!) comments on that article did not need to be be heavily moderated.
-
@tassosstevens Alas, no - merely approving of you talking about things.
-
Reading Tumblr on the train, having to stop because posts from fuckyeahshintarokago are coming up.

@brandonnn I love how adroitly you are making Major Surgery into A Problem For Other People.

If you have a neat game that would work well at a party, then we (@WildRumpus) would like to hear from you : submissions@thewildrumpus.co.uk
-
Ricky got the first tweet in there because I am bleaching my hair.
-
@jonbro @TomNullpointer oh, that was what it was!
-
@TomNullpointer @KommanderKlobb PC is probably best, and we have controllers falling out of our ears
-
@TomNullpointer @KommanderKlobb (though I thought that OSX 360 pad issues were pretty much all solved with the tattiebogle drivers?)
-
@jonbro @TomNullpointer fuck computers
-
@mcclure111 you may have noticed me enjoying this series of tweets.
-
@mcclure111 anyway : it's more difficult to do this, as videogames. The problem is that this subtlety needs control over the storytelling
-
@mcclure111 yer videogame nonlinearity interferes some. But then - the Christine Love/Gone Home file-digging approach allows this
-
@mcclure111 I guess the key is that 90% of your audience will just enjoy the porn/shooting
-
@mcclure111 and there we have Doom, and games where there was a story, but it was told in architecture and forceful imagination.
-
@mcclure111 also, I am reminded of "9 Songs", except that was shit.
-
@jonbro @mcclure111 A 20 minute Stewart Lee routine he never actually brings to a climax, but that you love him for
-
@mcclure111 sure : film that was "not porn", but still had naughty bits - it alternated between a couple at gigs and having sex
-
@mcclure111 to chart their relationship, but the film never really won me over to caring, and there was too much boring footage to no effect
-
@empika @WildRumpus not really? A link to a build would be great
-
@mcclure111 @jonbro oh yeah, for sure. But it usually out to feel like it's building to something. Also electronic music & "the drop"
-
@mcclure111 yeah, I think it was. And the gigs were real gigs. Nice concept, shame about the outcome.
-
My hair is *quite* orange right now.
-
(I am going to let it recover from bleaching for a day or two, then bleach it some more, then add some purple toner. But right now...)
-
@awesommelier yep
-
@awesommelier been thinking of doing it for a while. Maybe, ultimately, this character 1.bp.blogspot.com/-Sxgq9CYWm4o/T-Tnmo1cmJI/AAAAAAAAAcM/3m1VLLK40mU/s1600/invis020101.jpg from a comic I read at 15
-
@awesommelier I think I know that really, deep down... but it'd be good though, wouldn't it?
-
Remembering that time I discovered a jpg that rendered differently each time in Chrome : nottheinternet.com/files/tumblr_glitch_18032013.jpg
-
(God, no, I won't file a bug report. Why would I destroy such an amazing glitch?)
-
@tomscott Idly digging into that myself. More clues: jmelvnsn.com/prince_fielder.jpg dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/74030670/Penguins2.jpg
-
@c_hedborg @tigershungry @Dick_Hogg @KommanderKlobb @compositeredfox yes yes yes. Drinking and playing videogames, that's the ticket.
-
@c_hedborg @tigershungry @Dick_Hogg @KommanderKlobb @compositeredfox ALSO: I am probably going to go work at VMGS most days, so also then.
-
@mcclure111 It clearly will be, you know this. For good measure, sit away from a computer with a notebook for half an hour.
-

-
@Dick_Hogg @c_hedborg @edclef whoa, really? then we should have a playdate this week! Or the weekend?
-
@Dick_Hogg apologies @c_hedborg @edclef -- with a moments consideration you wouln't've been told what fun you're missing on.
-

@nachimir I would totally be down at VMGS today, except my hair looks stupid and I'm waiting to be able to bleach it again. All going well?
-
This fucking trailer! vimeo.com/73198674#

With @doseonetweets 's music, and that standoff, and a beautiful new logo... <3

@nachimir @profaniti Guarantee mine's worse.

@john_brindle finally actually having those boardgames happen, if you're about thursday evening?
-
@betterthemask weren't we supposed to going to the pub this evening? you still free?
-
@betterthemask haha, yeah, i had forgotten til just now (being away in Edinburgh til yesterday). Let's do Friday?
-
Basically just sitting here and waiting for my hair to get greasy.
-
@mcclure111 @smestorp I feel that too -- but I am also used to being on Windows now. At home nowhere...
-
Wish I'd taken more pictures of @awesommelier's little dog while I had the chance
-
@awesommelier I'll send you a picture once I feel it's decent enough to be seen in public.
-
@awesommelier yeah, that's basically what I'm aiming for
-
@awesommelier well, it's too late now. and that's much better than the colour I am now...
-
@awesommelier just the kind of yellow/orange you'd expect after bleaching hair as dark as mine.
-
@awesommelier i will bleach it some more once it has recovered a little, then tone it to hopefully whiter.
-
@tef After 4 years in Edinburgh, I felt that I'd "got it", and was happy to leave. 3 years in London...
-
Having forgotten/lost when my phone died my mother's address, I ended up finding it out from Companie's House.
-
@nachimir @haikus_by_KN I'll bring a fedora over this evening if you like?
-
I enjoy the predictability of these suspicious Ouya Kickstarters.

RT @gutefabrik: Hey everyone! We're finally bringing our game "Where Is My Heart?" to Windows/Mac/Linux and Steam this September! http://t.…
-
The 2DS increases my chances of feeling able to afford a thing that can play Animal Crossing, so I am entirely in favour.
-
I basically look like @kezamacdonald right now.
-
Or will do once I shave.
-
@awesommelier My head is rounder than that. But maybe. *sigh* It could be worse.
-
@haikus_by_KN I am actually interested. I want to know especially how scenes nucleated and people made a living before it was a 'thing'
-
@BRKeogh I don't feel excluded, but I also don't find it particularly useful. Maybe I just chafe against being summed up.
-
Was at VMGS! It was nice, if only because it was an event with PR-paid drinks where I didn't feel bought by drinking them.
-
@Carachan1 no, it's cool! I was what was being sold!
-
@jonbro this your 'compositional games' kick returning?
-
@jonbro it's meeting the constrained-into-creativity and the constrained-into-challenging.
-
@mcclure111 <3 glad to hear it.
-
I have not seen the New Twitter that everyone seems to hate, but a good threaded conversation view seems like a good idea.
-
I've ended up using Aaron Swartz's external one before, and God knows that's bittersweet. Also, unlikely to stay working forever.
-
@Carachan1 I was reminded of them because for some reason I read the UK: R 'what order would we eat the body parts of' article today.
-
wait, no, it turns out this is awful
-
@tef @marksutherland to be fair, I've never heard those arguments among people who use pd (or max/msp). just "be neat!" "make modules!"
-
@tef puredata.info/docs/style-guide/PrimordialStyleGuide"even, if everybody says, pd patches are their own documentation, because everything is visible, that's not true"
-
@smestorp Easy to be brave when it's not your money on the line : but I think I would go for something between £5 and $10.
-
@smestorp You're selling to -- largely -- @smestorp fans. And they'll pay that. And for others -- the price tells them there's depth there.
-
@smestorp also, I hope you're not launching without giving press outlets review copies and time to look at them.
-
@smestorp Ah, phew!
-
Heading to VMGS! I wonder if there'll be any seats there...
-
@patrickashe call it Lewisham
-
@patrickashe you're right, that is better.
-
Guess how you pronounce "Milngavie"
-
(no fair if you're not guessing)
-
@higgyC @LawrieARussell @tigershungry nowhere close : it's "MUL-guy". Wheee, British placenames!
-
@smestorp @mooonmagic you should totally set it to that for a week. (except: damn, you can't. bloody Apple)
-
@nachimir sure! I'll pop along in the morning, then.
-
@brandonnn @mcclure111 oh, I'm glad to hear it!
-
@KommanderKlobb @tigershungry @whenyoutried Occurs to me this is basically "all children's shows are secretly Adventure Time".
-
@patrickashe @Carachan1 what? I am afraid I disagree with you there...
-
868-HACK is here! itunes.apple.com/gb/app/868-hack/id635749911?ls=1&mt=8 the latest by @smestorp. This is a good game.
-
@@smestorp Michael! That intro sequence is *beautiful*
-
@betterthemask Yep! Still up for it. I'm basin in Stepney Green, up in Shoreditch at VMGS at the moment, so either intensity of East works.

-
@vorrintal glad to hear it! I ended up crashed out on a friends sofa, even though I was walking distance from home.
-
@haikus_by_KN @SeeBeeWhitman I have already eaten that avocado! It was part of breakfast, a meal I just resisted taking a picture of.
-
@KommanderKlobb yeah! You see 'em a lot on the continent.
-
Whew! Just completed my first game of 868-HACK. With 0 points!
