Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Oh, [chat] is a place on Earth.

There is a chance.
You get more radiation from the Sun daily than was released by Three Mile Island during a partial melt down. Yes, radiation is this invisible scary thing...you are also thousands of times more likely to get hit by a bus on your way home from work than you are to be involved in some meltdown accident with a nuclear power plant.
Humans are not good with statistical dangers, at all. It's why people are freaked out about flying in planes, when you are hundreds of times more likely to die in a car accident on your way to the airport than you are to die in a plane crash....but the plane crash is scarier, and more people die, so humans can't handle the statistics of it.
Explains all the rope, at least.
Why do that, when a simple link suffices?
Jesus fuck, whoever wrote/directed that should kill themselves.
The basic philosophy should be this: you can't plan to get struck by lightning. An incident could happen, but we are taking precautions.

The real issue is that shows a young women enjoying being dominated in her sexual exploration, and people are just not comfortable with that. Girls aren't supposed to enjoy sex, you see. Certainly not dirty, erotic, domination sex.
No no no. "Suffer not the heretic to live", dear Tamin.
Now, time for a lesson on the cleansing power of fire.
Have you read Exact Change's translation of Maldoror? That book is frightening, but it's one of those where you are literally drunk with words while reading it. Easily one of my faves.
And we do take precautions. We have the safest reactors in the world. Bar none. I'd rather deal with the tiny statistical probability of a nuclear accident, than to keep belching tar, and smoke in to the atmosphere. I'd rather deal with that ultra remote possibility than to continue to dump coal tar in to lakes, where it's seeping in to the water tables and actually killing people.
So to qualify as a 4X game, it must be above a certain scale?
That does make me laugh a little inside.

Fifty Shades is about bondage and D/s play. I am saying you could be in for more sexytimes... this book is a big deal among married middle-aged women because it's given them an easy way to drop hints that they'd be up for a little light bondage without actually saying "honey, I bought these scarves and a blindfold, whatever shall we do with them?". They can take the sub roleplay thing and drop some obvious hints and hope their men catch on and take the initiative, rather than waiting to be asked.
Oh, I know. I meant that to be directed at the people who are worried.
i am all about that book
Sometimes I do work from home. But then again I've set expectations at work that getting 20 hours of work out of me is fucking amazing.
So fucking bad for us.

Alexis Lykiard. Couldn't remember that perspn's name. Pretty much every thing EC does is solid gold.
Have you read Hebdomeros by Giorgio De Chirico, by any chance? Less frightening, but just as vivid.
The problem is that your average American male has about as much of a clue as your average American mule.

No, it needs to generally have four victory conditions. eXploration, eXplotation, eXpanding and eXtermination. Essentially economy, culture, war and science.
This sort of implicitly leads to games of large scale.
It's got an excellent introduction by John Ashbery on Surrealism.
I am sounding the trumpet throughout maledom... dudes, if your lady is reading this book and she's into it and you don't know why, you are missing sexy hints about bondage sex fun sex. She is very possibly hoping you will interrupt dinner to carry her upstairs and order her to do things not in the usual repitoire!
It doesn't surprise me in the least, personally. Women have always loved trashy/pulpy romance novels. Now no one need know when they are reading them.
I don't understand why they pay for this.
It's literally the quality of online fanfiction I've read.
Agree 100%. I pointed this out in a later post. We know for a god damn fact coal tar is killing people. It's literally a crime what's happening with these coal plants.
That's the problem with a lot of female romantic hopes, they are hopes, often unvoiced hopes. They want the right guy to come in, and wordlessly sweep them off their feet and carry them upstairs for a bout of amazing sex. But with the wrong guy trying to do so suddenly the situation goes from romance to terror. It is unfortunate that having actual communication about sexual wants/needs is viewed as unsexy.
People keep saying "but with nuclear power, something could go wrong, and people would die!" The problem is that with coal power, everything can go right, and people will die.
It just makes me want to choke a bitch.
Yeah a lot (most? all?) romance novels are pretty much slow burn porn.
