I've spent half this afternoon playing a flash game about managing planets that you seed with biomass. The biomass grows, you harvest it, intelligent life evolves and tries to kill you, you slap them with varying effects harmful to biomass production depending on the slap, space locusts eat whole planets bare...

I would actually pay money for an extended version of this game with better graphics and a non-flash interface.

Sounds fun. What's it called?

Galaxy Harvest. I don't know if I'm overselling it, but I think it's a ton of fun. There's just enough activity to keep it engaging but not overwhelming most of the time, and when it's not there's a time adjuster.

In Canada we can withdraw from our RRSP's and TFSA early thankfully(although the RRSP will be taxed as income on withdrawl).

My plan is to use the RRSP from 45(or 50) until I can draw from my work pension, then draw on my work pension until I can take advantage of old-age benefits.

Oh, right, didn't think of RRSPs. You've apparently put a lot of thought in to this haha.

Today there was a CS olympiad, and I think I did pretty well. Better than last year, at any rate. Here's hoping I make it to the finals. (there's so little people that the first level are the half-finals).

THAT SAID, if I DO make it to the finals I'll have to learn C++ (or C or Java) because the finals are only on the computer and Python isn't allowed.
And this is mainly a selection for the international CS olympiad, which takes place in Kazakhstan of all places.

I love work. Can I live here? I get paid to perform trivial tasks, and the rest of the time I just get to do whatever I want on a laptop. Today I got showered with candy by my boss. I wish I could keep doing this for another year, but alas, I only have a week and a half left.

Why would they ban Python? It's a really good language for the kind of problem solving they normally put in olympiads, in my experience. The only possible issue is performance, surely?

Java's not that scary though. I'm sure you can pick it up pretty quickly. C++ is a bit more vicious.

C++, in my experience, is fairly simple once you learn how it's structured. In that respect, Lua is a little bit like a simplified C++.

Java scares me more than c++.  It has so much typing!
public static void alpha ultra method main(Java.Object.blah.bloo TheImportantThing) { //10 more lines of documentation

 

On the plus side, it doesn't have templating...

59 41 US senators have atleast two brain cells, and have voted against the Keystone pipeline.

I have decided to name my boots. The left shall henceforth be known as Shitkicker Prime, and the right as Shitkicker Supreme.

[TD1]

But what if they become sentient and take their fighting ground to an alien planet, with you the vessel to bring them there?

[WillowLuman]

You should totally just make the a double-boss then build a whole game around that.

Aw, you should have named one Ambulon.  He turns into a foot! (well, a leg actually)

But no more than 3 brain cells: that's giving them too much credit
