    @fastramdesign I think, for example, that EGX/Rezzed Indie Arcade would be poorer if it had as an aim promoting British work.

  204. …in reply to @fastramdesign
    @fastramdesign But : yeah, point. But there's more interesting ways to do that, like curating for underexposed things, new creators, etc.
  205. …in reply to @fastramdesign
    @fastramdesign curating based on region, unless there's particular reasons it's distinctive (ie Babycastle's Ace Hotel show) is boring.

    @Superpig @whitingjp Apparently behaviour is different if the serialized class is within an array/List or not?
  810. …in reply to @Superpig
    @Superpig @whitingjp Yeah, through in inspector. First elem, though?
  811. …in reply to @Superpig
    @Superpig @whitingjp Nope, it's the first time (trying in a fresh scratch project to test this behaviour)
  812. …in reply to @Superpig
    @Superpig @whitingjp ... I just realized why the behavior was divergent. That List logic doesn't hold if you edit a serializable class...
  813. …in reply to @Superpig
    @Superpig @whitingjp ... that's already in a List to have another serializable class within it.
  814. …in reply to @Superpig
    @Superpig @whitingjp Which is obvious now, but definitely wasn't an hour ago.
  815. @alexhern Yr latest Netrunner post is great. More fanfic that's also playing tips!

    @haikus_by_KN tbh, I think teasing future cool stuff is overrated? As long as I hit the ground running, that's enough for me.
  824. …in reply to @haikus_by_KN
    @haikus_by_KN like, a bit? But if after 10 mins I'm digging it, and engaged and have aims I'm working towards, then I'm not gonna care?
  825. …in reply to @haikus_by_KN
    @haikus_by_KN if the running is really fun, then that's fine? If it's not, then, yeah, you want to put more in.
  826. …in reply to @haikus_by_KN
    @haikus_by_KN But most of the reveal future coolness without needing skill methods I can see are non-interactive & boring? Which seems worse
  827. …in reply to @haikus_by_KN
    @haikus_by_KN on the other hand... some stuff just sets the scene nicely. Character selection stuff, intro cutscenes etc.
