Don't know that he can be trusted. We need someone we can trust far more than that.

Someone like this guy.

how do we turn the levels and the gameplay into more than just 90 minutes, say, of sci-fi pistol action filler?

You're assuming it needs to be turned into something else.

I remember this! I played it when a friend showed me a demo of it, many years ago. I forgot about it for a long time, but eventually acquired at least the first game and played it. Not sure if I ever got around to playing the sequels. While it didn't have too much replay value (although it probably ...

As someone who ultimately is in favor of free speech, I often wonder whether true free speech is desirable, or if there needs to be some limits. I'm not saying necesserially that it should be banned as such, but if someone were to go around these days saying "The Jews are scum, they're responsible f...

I'd wonder, if you have access to the source code; do you really NEED patches? Could you not just directly code whatever you want to change?

On one hand, a lot of the aforementioned kinds of people have that attitude even IRL.
On the other hand, it's probably safe to say they learned it on the internet; most likely from Tumblr.

Do you feel mods should have more disabled protaginists? I could actually see opportunities for this to work out really well, depending on the disability in question. Particularly if it's a physical one and he has a super high-tech evil-fighting wheelchair of doom. "Poison slugs, you think you're a...

Well, the filter already simply changes the normal word to "fucl" (rather than actually censoring it); so all I'm suggesting is it should preserve suffixes, such as "fucling".

You actually think black women, gays, transgender people and so on And here you've proven my point, by deliberately misquoting me to exclude those who the social justice movement doesn't claim to "defend". Besides, my point was never about cases of *actual* injustice. The kind of thing I'm referrin...

The word filter here needs some fine tuning. I get the reference of changing a certain word to "fucll", but... suppose I use that word with an "ing" suffix. It should change to "fucling", not just "fucl", ya know!

Oh, that is just fucling pathetic. Honestly, I find it quite disgusting how everyone - whether it's white guys, black women, straights, gays, cisgenders, transgenders, whatever - always have to try and find some obscure reason to claim other groups are attacking or trying to oppress them, these days...

Indeed, a lot of this stuff - even some of the relatively mild things (the name of the volcano in the fishtank in Finding Nemo, anyone?) - will go over children's heads. That specific example, despite being very mild, I never caught on until someone a bit older pointed it out to me. Nowdays, a lot o...

Wow. And contact with those people is limited, I'm guessing? o_O

Yeah, upgrading the forum would definitely be a nicer option; we just need access to the server/database. The admins don't have this? That's a bit messy. This is actually exactly like the case with Lemmings Forums in that regard (except that the existing setup was starting to fall apart - little ca...

Radical idea: Fleexy sets up a server in his free weeks, hosts the forum, upgrades phpBB and then doesn't need to make the bot 8) Yeah, why are we still using decade-old PHPBB, when we could be using Simple Machines? I'd think actually changing software (as opposed to just upgrading to a new versio...
