Caught up on MSQ through 6.0, and gotta say, I'm relieved that the endgame is no longer "tomestones and raid or perish" like it was during the HW era.
I always preferred solo and small group challenges and deep dungeon, and seeing a lot more of the current late game geared in that direction is more of my speed honestly.

I made a little Caves of Qud mod that adds bat people and a village where they reside :)

@typhlosion How to make someone tea: boba is you.

boba tea implies the existence of kiki tea
Defraud series A (funding): basically, convince investors to fund the thing then run with the money.
Whale economy: deliberately designing game systems to condition players to pay that have no ceiling to how much money can go in. Typically kept afloat by "whales", people who invest upwards of thousands or tens of thousands of dollars because of exploitable situations like a gambling addiction.
@Moot I need a bingo card for these that's just a list of grifts like "defraud series A", "whale economy", and "straight-up theft". With the latest buzzwords in vogue as free spaces.

Who who else thinks about how someone with a massive tail, or horns, or wings would wear clothes?

@typhlosion To reduce this further: my take is that Bsky is better for presentations and Masto is better for discussion.
We do need a notification layer that's pubsub to fill the gap, since we're missing that after Google destroyed RSS and corporations tried turning the web into five websites. But maybe there are better ways of doing that than continuing to use single websites for that purpose.
Irony is, I still use RSS for this from sites that support it, and it's great when it still works.
@typhlosion Bsky feels like the "bite-sized PowerPoint presentations that do numbers" slice of Twitter, and I find that very hard to have discussions around. Which I guess works better for folks that want a lot of followers but not a lot of support or discussion, which is part of many communities.
But yeah, moderation concerns aside, it's reductive and hard for me to really engage with. Nice maybe if folks start using it for notifications I guess, but that also makes me really miss RSS.

Been having a hard time working or feeling productive, so I'm opening a few slots to try and get back into things (will probably take 2-3 slots and see how things go from there)
Here is the form with prices and examples

@CoyoteTraveller @Kyresti This. Even vague support from management and more than a casual fuck thrown our way has meant the difference between sleeping at night at all and some of the worst mental health, period.
At its best, I feel vaguely insecure but stable. Worst (two separate occasions), I was constantly on-call and had a manager that gaslit me and coworkers to leave and doubt ourselves for years.
To summarize: people make a big difference.
