These nuke complexes double as embassies, so the end game is that every embassy sits on a nuke large enough to destroy the city it’s in
What the makers get out of it is well-tested and working colony designs and colonist communities that have already been seeded in-game
The popular game of “the sky is lava and it’s falling oh my god
@benaiah@benaiah.me Wow, you’re working on bussard? I wanted to try that game for months! Cool
I just noticed that i still can win bullseye if write a short tweet for any long tweet i published. Maybe i have to rethink the game… :)

Gods love to play the game “let’s hide our names in the past”. Near always, their arrival will have been foretold by obscure old media.
Hacker game show idea: You’re shown a screenshot or printout and have to guess the bug. Judges award points.

Now extinct, wild cathedrals were once popular game. Sure, it took a whole community to hunt one but its meat would sustain them for a year.

@kas@enotty.dk It’s a cool game, i played it when it was featured on hn, but lost interest once i could venture outside.
A game in which, after beating all the bosses, you are cursed to be the next.
Walking and using the phone
Walking around with your head stuck on the phone is like playing the chicken game. The fully aware pedestrian walking in your opposite direction—and on the same path—is forced to play the game. Not as dangerous as driving but still very annoying. When you walk, please pay attention, look where you are walking, and leave the phone in your pocket. ⌘ Read more
Shogi
Kent’s latest hobby is to play Shogi. That makes me an obligatory player and fan as well since, just like chess, Shogi requires two players. We bought a cheap board from Amazon, but he has already stated that a better quality board and pieces is what he would want for Christmas (yes, he is already planning for it).
The game isn’t difficult to play, but I am having an excruciating hard time remembering each piece—labeled with kanji characters—and how they move. Ah, the j … ⌘ Read more

The Brotherhood
Recently I got the PS3 game “ Assassin Creed Brotherhood” for my birthday and it has being very fun. My dad got me the Harlequin code, and playing him is very fun as well. I have already gotten the armor of Brutus, the very best on the game. Needless is to say, I already finished the game, but am still “renovating” things.

Yet another
Yet another long downtime on World of Warcraft, just in the verge of the release of the second major expansion for the game. What a royal mess! You would think Blizzard has it figured out by now, down to a science, but…
I can’t imagine how tomorrow, with the expansion release, will be. Not going to “tune in.” Instead will let others have the “fun.” ⌘ Read more
Olympics for sports
Olympics Games relate to sport. The Olympic Games is where the World most accomplished athletes and teams compete for medals, for the win. Making the Olympics Games a political chess board goes against what Olympic Games are all about. And it is a nasty thing to do.
We—as in the U.S.A.—are not being fair with China. Our government and our politicians (including Presidential aspirants) are all playing politics with the Olympics for their own political advantage. And they are all wrong, … ⌘ Read more
