@a_breakin_glass Oh yeah, sorry for not making it clear, it is definitely the ecosystem that is the problem.

(That being said if I was redoing it now, I'd sill use a language that has broader awareness and better tooling. :))

@a_breakin_glass

There's stuff I like about MUF actually. I like how stack-based languages can easily be worked through in the head/on paper, and debugged via a simple trace of the stack.

The real problem is that your dev environment is "line editor over telnet" ;)

@posit@chitter.xyz @a_breakin_glass @daggertooth@monsterpit.net

Would be really nice to have a MU* with like, modern affordances like rich protocols/clients and web accessibility and stuff. I have friends who've worked on such, but it's a biiiiig undertaking it turns out.

@vahnj @daggertooth@monsterpit.net Yeah that's basically MUCK/MUSH/MOO etc, which have been around for... ages.

I mean, I gotta be real though, MUF (the MUCK scripting language) is even more irritating than LSL in my opinion. ;)

@Jacel Awwwr. Yeah, that is a real challenge in small places. :\ If there's anything I can do to help, do please let me know.

Social Stuff 

@Jacel Oh I didn't even parse that you were talking about a different MUCK, with the Rakeela stuff. Whoops, and cool! And yeah, TBH that's basically what PFMuck is these days too, with occasional bouts of lewdness. ;)

Social Stuff 

@emanate Yeah I was gonna say, I am pretty sure you are already aware of this MUCK. :)

And the client is being constantly tinkered with; let me know if you see any issues. :)

@vahnj All of this! I keep hearing about all this stuff and I kinda thin it's the sort of thing I'd get into but but but all the fighting.

I hear there's a DS monster hunter game where you mostly just train them? I keep meaning to look at that.

If you are into the Cyber.
If you are into the dystopia.

If you are into the Cyber-Occult Dystopia/Utopia we were all promised....

Why Not Neon Moon?

Really awesome art, and crosses that inner Shadowrunner/Cyberpunk in all of us.

I'm buying in.

@literorrery Perhaps distressingly, at least in stopped-clock terms, I think it is The BookFace which now has different flavors of reaction-clicks and of course Slack and Discord open it up to the whole emoji-set which... helps some of that... and introduces a whole set of new problems. 9.9

Community-dispute stuff, if you don't know what it's about, don't worry about it. (no boosts please, and no replies expected or needed) 

Pre-emptively: I'd like to encourage anyone who'd like to take issue with the stuff on Discord last night to take a look at what I actually said; it's still available to read there. I regret that my tone got shouty at points, and I apologize for any harm that did. Apart from that, I stand by my words, and will do my best to share them more calmly in the future.

@literorrery @Lobst

...My first impulse was to 'like' both of these posts, which... just goes to show. ;)

Sympathies for you Lobst, this is indeed a scary problem (being in the midst of a (different sort of) whirlwind of social media miscommunication myself at the moment, I really feel for you) and hearty agreement with buni's assessment and frustration.

@KawaSeadrake @Jacel

Seconding the MUCK! We even have a custom webclient now (muck.postfurry.net) which should make it a lot easier for a lot of folks.

Also there's board games tonight if you're up for meatspace meetings. :)

@Thaminga @Ratttz I think maybe part of it is that, from a game designer POV, doing the zoning thing, which is to say clearly dividing 'work' and 'home', provides a very clear basis for the sort of trip-generation they have to do to support interesting traffic-design problem.

So just a bit of design/imagination failure.

@Ratttz Because Sim City, I bet. 9.9

@Ratttz 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯​

@Ratttz Game design idea: Sim City only less *hand waves* all that.

@Ratttz Adding to this, I think almost all the NEW overbuild I see in the US is hella-White single-family-suburb-housing? THAT is something I've seen go up before the roads go in, back in the southwest. (ugh Phoenix ugh)

@KawaSeadrake @emanate Ooooh! Happy birth/hatch/manufacture/???-day to you all! :D
