    @ADAMATOMIC feels strange to me that you're a better game designer if you throw away fewer ideas? (Just the phrasing, really)
  2. …in reply to @ADAMATOMIC
    @ADAMATOMIC ahhh, good :) I wrote nottheinternet.com/blog/rules/ a while back and I still stand by most of it.
  3. …in reply to @ADAMATOMIC
    @ADAMATOMIC ha, yeah, I get suspicious of any sweeping statements like that too... Which makes it hard to write those sweeping statements
  4. …in reply to @ADAMATOMIC
    @ADAMATOMIC right, that's a great distillation of most of them. I guess the caution is that sometimes instinct is great?
  5. …in reply to @ADAMATOMIC
    @ADAMATOMIC right, I was just looking for a way to phrase that very thing.
  6. …in reply to @ADAMATOMIC
    @ADAMATOMIC right, but that's (and Flash of old, and other small quick platforms) the best place to start

    @richlitt do you want a online, from anywhere, host, or a backup solution?

    @richlitt how paranoid are you, also?
  18. …in reply to @richlitt
    @richlitt right, so I have a Linode VPS which in practical terms does all the things you need (or could: fuck running my own mailserver)
  19. …in reply to @richlitt
    @richlitt but paranoia would indicate against it, if your paranoia was strong enough.

    @andreaszecher no worries, thanks!

    @andreaszecher I mean I don't want people to use the existence & their participation on this list to be a substitute for other change.
  25. Congratulations to @caraellison for shoehorning in an entirely gratuitous link to The Weeknd's Often in her latest S.EXE column.

  42. If any of my friends left videogames and got a good job elsewhere, I would be nothing but happy for them.
  43. If all of them left, I'd be a bit irritated, because it'd be a pain to switch industries myself, but I'd still be glad for them.

    @mountain_ghosts consistency is a soft constraint - if local best varies strongly then that should override it.

    @mountain_ghosts if different bits of the codebase are unlikely to be looked at by the same people, then no point to consistency.
