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!

    Didn't it help lead to the depression? I'm a bit lost on the general history and effects.

    having money backed by nothing is what lead to the depression in germany and the subsequent war.

    I thought it was not having money after the first war that lead to the depression and subsequent war.

    If that woman's cleavedge made one more person pick the game up off the shelf, it was a net positive for microprose. And to be blunt, if taking her top off could have increased sales enough to get a sequel, I'd endorse it 100000% because I like playing great games.

    Having a currency backed by nothing might have been problematic when we first started using it, but bankers learned the hard way during the 70s than inflation kills growth, so I don't think we should worry too much about it now. The problems now come from bubbles that are harder to detect (property for example)

    They also had massive inflation. Like, there would see more inflation in a day then we saw during the 90's.

    It has always struck me as totaly bizzar that though that japnese are almost entierly accepting of homoexuality in media, they still have not legalised gay marrage.

    Is it just that the old fucks in the diet are out of touch or are they a nation of hypocritcal closet homopobs?

    I'd prefer it if the next time you have something to say, just shut the fuck up.

    That seems a bit exagerated Red.

    Look, you just have to learn where to talk about things.

    What you need to do is start a Digimon thread in SE++.

    If you're not going to talk about the gold standard, then kindly fuck off. This is D&D, not some kind of half-arsed thread-derailing backstreet brothel of a forum.

    Social Entropy++. It's where you should make a new Digimon thread so that people will actually talk to you about it.

    Some time in the next few hours or so there'll be a righteous Cat in here graaaring and what not. Get over it, go post something relevant in the anime thread, and live with your self.

    So come with it Red, why go to gold?

    My thoughts exactly. Clawshrimpy, I apologize in advance, but this is reserved for the truly stupid:

    You are an idiot. You actually fell for it. You went and posted a dumb topic in SE++. Learn from this, after they tear your ass apart. Learn that you do not post topics like these in SE++.

    or, try to have a real discussion about it and not start calling people names and pointing to made up bullshit internet dictionary crap.

    How many threads have you now made about this? All of them having the same result of a few people saying it is ok, then you flippping out on someone who disagrees and the whole thread turning into shit?


    edit:he's jailed now? WTF?
