Getting the header text about the guy who lives in an upside down tank and is best friends with a tapeworm is this website’s version of getting dubs
Same way you do advertising campaigns and stuff to bring in customers in the tycoon games. You could add special bosses, loots, etc, Even specific quests that would lure in certain types of adventurers over others. Like a rare type of enemy that is popular with wizards to get more magic essence in your dungeon.
Brett Gelman would be the perfect casting for Eidolon in a Worm live action film. Self aggrandizing shlub with a hint of psychotic cannibal menace underneath. The piece of shit ideal.
So, roller coaster tycoon but with a dungeon. You have to set up levels of your monster ecosystem and balance it to lure adventurers in. The adventurers need to be able to go deep enough into your dungeon to make it alluring to them, but they can’t have such an easy time that they just wipe out everything in their way.
Omg, and then you could have heroes that are special unique adventurers who are an increased threat to the dungeon ecosystem and you have to marshal your resources to stop them before they get to the end.
Sometimes I think people are afraid to admit that the system is designed to hold them down, because that’s a scarier concept than “just not quite having struck it rich yet…”
I’m overdue for some mutherfuckin kimchi rice 😤
I think Union is a pretty cool guy, eh shuts down ports and doesn’t afraid of anything
Honestly, I listen to each episode twice 😁
I still enjoy it though.
I do that with some of the podcasts I listen to, especially information dense ones like Blowback. I just start thinking about other stuff and then realize that 20 minutes have gone by without absorbing information and then I just rewind and listen to it again.
Have you thanked your cat for being soft today? They work hard on it you know.
Getting back into losing constantly at Noita again, feels… good…
The reddit website, besides being a moral and intellectual tar pit, is now functionally unusable after the most recent redesign. Even when I put myself into the mindset of a profit maximizing tech bro idiot leech creature, I still cannot fathom how you could design a website that functions so badly both on mobile and desktop browsers.
Scrolling down the feed just repeats the same posts over and over, comment threads only show two comments (sometimes just one!) before cutting off and filling the rest of the page with useless bullshit. Trying to look at literally any image is basically a 50/50 coin toss whether it will be formatted so badly that it’s illegible and also somehow fucks up the formatting on the original page so you have to reload at the top of the feed.
I feel like the programmers at Reddit must be like that pretentious chef from Pig, constantly telling themselves that they’re successful to stave off the impending mental breakdown that comes from being a complete and utter fraud.
It’s lore accurate for them to lie to you about your contribution to the missions
Three Body Problem but good
I cannot describe how much I hate the trope of a story introducing a new character in season two who comes in like “hey there, I’m the new boss and I don’t like what’s been going on around here, I’m going to slow the plot down to a crawl by opposing everything on the grounds that I’m a stereotypical bureaucrat and I don’t like it when the main characters are able to achieve any progress whatsoever. I don’t have any real motivations or goals other than to create spontaneous conflict in lieu of an actual narrative.”
It is the literary equivalent of pissing in my cereal, and if you write a character like that you should be hooked up to a collar that shocks you every time you pick up a pen.
Also, they are NOT redeemed if it turns out they were actually just being annoying obstructionists as a ruse and were secretly doing the right thing behind the scenes, because I didn’t get to watch those scenes! I had to watch them being fucking annoying!

I’m as left as they come, and here’s why we should throw all the homeless people in the garbage!
