3D mazes are hard because humans didn't need to navigate in three dimensions early in their evolution. Like, humans can't fly or go underground without tools.

I mean, our earlier ancestors did, since climbing trees is a 3-dimensional situation

I'm so sick of games with unnecessary story. Like, you've got a solid game with good mechanics, don't go screwing it up with some miserable excuse for plot.

I don't want to be the chosen one destined to save your stupid attempt at fantasy worldbuilding, I'm just here to quaff some ale and crack some skulls with my enchanted warhammer or whatever.

The pasta bread bowl from Domino's is basically a pizza with pasta as the topping.

Politics. Polyticks. Poly ticks. Many little bloodsuckers. Quite accurate.

Out of the dozens of toys and action figures I've bought over the years, with all their action features, accessories and limited status, the one I'll remember best is the one that could actually stand and be posed at the same time

My favourite toys were the Action Force (that's GI Joe to you Americans) of the 80's and 90's, based on the cartoon I think. They could move almost every joint and had hands that could hold things like guns and swords. They weren't very good at standing though. I had like dozens of them. I think my parents liked them too because they were already old-ish when I grew up and could often be found in the "things we need to clear ut" bins in toy stores.

"Creative" is the least specific form of "good". If you state that a work is good, you can elaborate to make your opinion more nuanced, more interesting. "Creative", though, is a dead end. A work is creative... because it is creative? The statement provides no new information that could be used to flesh out an opinion. In other words, it's useless.

Imagine having a speedometer that only says "moving" or "not moving". By most metrics, that speedometer is useless; it can't measure speed accurately, so what's the point of having it?

In the same way, "creative" is like that useless speedometer. It's not specific enough to say how good a work is, it can only say that a work is good. Untill someone redefines "creative" to be more specific, it belongs in the trash, just like Bold and Brash.

Anyway, that's why I don't use "creative" and its siblings ("unique", for instance).

I dunno why, but I suddenly started to like the word "sleek". I mean, just pronounce it, and don't even dare to tell me it doesn't sounds weirdly wonderful. Really, this word's becoming one of my favorites after using it fairly sparsely.

Much less active than I used to be on these forums, but I still visit them on occasion. Will probably resume my activity in full once Dwarf Fortress will be released on Steam.

I kind of want to start a news website. Just take a no-frills kind of approach, cutting out all the intrusive ads, auto-playing videos and clunky html that plague big-time news outlets. Simply give readers the articles they want to read, maybe with handy links to video reporting, interviews etcetera tucked into a sidebar rather than smeared across the top of the page.

But then how will your website be a nodejs angular agile lightweight extensible REST POST GET scrum postmodern neopunk tex-mex barbecue extravaganza!?!?!?

I decided long ago that no matter what I do, I never want to make a website by hand.

Why is Featherweight considered a heavier weight class than Bantamweight?

Bantam=small chicken.
small chicken= many feathers
many feathers> one feather
