Has Madagascar actually shut down everything at this point?   

Yeah, actually, over a week ago.

Great, might as well restart the game can't win if they shut the borders, its like they want to prevent the death of everyone.

[Yoink]

Huh. Well, I hope it works out for them.


Unrelated random question: how do you say "I hope you choke on it" in French?

Quebecois, or bad French?

Sadly we're running a modded "reality" game, and it didn't take. Unfortunate, really. If all it took to shut down a global pandemic was to wall off Madagascar we'd have an easy out

I'm not too fussed, really, I just want something to say to cunts who say "bon apetit" at the start of a meal.   





@Frumple: jeez, stop being so sad. At least Madagascar  might (maybe) survive.

Just respond with "Osteoporosis" and enjoy yourself.

I always wish my fellows a good monkey boob at the start of dinner

Ok, so something like a "Enculer ta mère" might be a bit strong. I'm not sure how you normally speak with friends, but "Salaud" is milder, and reads a bit like "salud", while being relatively polite, so that's pretty good. "Casse-toi" is more of a general "fuck off." "Ferme ta gueule" is more of a "shut the fuck up."

Con or Conne (feminine) is more just a way to call someone stupid or a jerk, which is probably what you're looking for.


Edit: Or just a "Je m’en fous" or "I don't give a fuck." Seems appropriate to this usage.

Quick Q for people who play a lot more roguelikes than me:

Do you like Nethack style where you walk into enemies to attack, or to have attacking be its own function assigned to a key?

[Frumple]

Not being able to walk into enemies is generally a colossal pain in the ass. Not having special attacks (or attack modifiers, or whatever) tends to be boring.

Most of the time you just want both, basically, with the bump being some kind of default attack. ToME 4 does that just fine, many with bump as a primary melee means still have a dedicated melee attack key.

... also note the bump attack isn't so much a nethack thing as just a roguelike thing. Not many don't have that. Nethack wasn't even the first, so far as I'm aware.

[Reelya]

Generally I'd consider the best set-up to be default-attack when walking into hostile creatures, but there should be a prompt when walking into neutrals, since it really sucks when there's a game where walking into townsfolk attacks them and then the villagers swarm you.

Non-hostile NPCs helps, especially if they get pushed (or whatever) instead of attacked.

My issue with push attacks come in when the game makes you travel 50 squares to get somewhere, and has no run function. You could just push the button 50 times, but you hold it down instead. Maps with less empty space help, as does having an auto-move/run function.

I happen to have an old surveillance hard drive, and it seems to be working. Checking its SMART shows that its health is "Caution". chkdsk says "An unspecified error occurred", so there's probably something wrong with it. I was told that the drive was broken, so it's a bit strange that it's still working. It's less broken than what I'd expect when someone says something is broken.

Do surveillance systems err on the side of caution and declare that a drive has failed as soon as anything goes slightly wrong with it? Also, is it ever a good idea to reuse a hard drive that's in this state?
