Hello! There is certainly great depth to this forum
« on: June 03, 2012, 06:28:23 pm »
Hello.  I joined this forum at the recommendation of a new online friend.  Looking around, there are certainly lots of topics of interest to me, and with vigorous discussion.  Many threads have over 100 pages!  I guess I know where my free time is going these next few days.

Anyway, I'm Dave, aka MagiGames.  I'm a software engineer by profession and I write games as a hobby. I'm married, no kids.  I'll probably poke into page 126 of some random discussion later today.  Looks like I've got a lot of catching up to do.  :D

Welcome to the club.

The upper floors are where they discuss DF itself. You can be sure to find references to magma, socks and dwarves up over there, with the occasional carp and sponge or so.

Here, at the lower floors, things are more intellectual, and we don't spout DF memes as much, but yeah, we still do that from time to time.

You might want to go and post any game-related topic up in Other Games, if you want to discuss your MagiGames.org thing.

Maybe I'm paranoid NG, but I don't think he plans to stick around ;-)

Everyone sucks at everything. Until they don't. Not sucking is a product of time invested.

Ello and welcome to the forums! Be sure to check out the Sad, Happy, RAEG, and Debate threads for some good conversations, and make some friends! Have fun up here in General, and come on down to the even lower forums if your in the mood for a game or two.

Why are you so paranoid? I'm 90% sure he's not a spambot, since he's still online.

Be warned. There is great depth, for we occasionally mine too greedily and too deep. Who knows what we will awake in the darkness?

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Mostly people like loudwhispers, who have way too much time. Also, the insane people, IE: 90% of everyone.

He could be a human spammer. It does kind of feel like that.

To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.

A bit, yes. But eh, benefit of doubt is given until the first ad links are posted.

Yeah. Especially when he linked his blog. But there's no harm in it, I guess?

He's still welcome here though, and only needs to post a few things to prove the accusations against him wrong.

After all, it isn't as if a bunch of us have links to our own pet projects in our sigs or anything.  :P

Totally, especially not forum games or entire other forums. That would be bad.

This one I liked.  And appropriate to the forum.

My friend who recommended this forum also said "do not.. i repeat.. do not play df.  i can not warn you enough." We were talking about time sinks, for context.

Cool not a spambot. That's good enough for me. But be warned, this forum itself is a huge time sink if you use it the right (or wrong) way.

QFT.

Been spending way more time here than playing DF itself.
