Nemo , to Incremental Games in Weekly Incremental Check-in

Subbing this muni got me back into AdVenture Capitalist.

Nemo , to Incremental Games in What games aren't incremental?

True roguelikes are not. Oldschool sidesscrollers as well. Any game that starts you from zero.

But less pedantically, it's a genre name, not just a description. Also known as the "numbers get bigger" genre.

Nemo , to Incremental Games in How did you all come to discover incremental games?

First Cookie Clicker, then AdVenture Capitalist (which I'm surprised to learn is still around!)

I've played a few others, most recently Sixty-Four.

Nemo , to Fuck Cars in Why Tire Companies Love EVs

If margins are so thin, how do they afford all those restaurant critics?

Nemo , to Anarchism in I'm beginning to come around to anarchism, got any reading suggestions?

I just read this: https://slrpnk.net/post/9405230

and the OP (though not the pamphlet author) sent me here.

Specifically, with a question. The author mentions offhandedly that in an anarchistic society there would be no need for lawyers. But in a society governed by consensus and consent, wouldn't professional advocates be more useful, not less? Any insight?

Nemo , to New Communities in Is the soulseek community dead?

You make it I'll join it.

Nemo , to New Communities in Is the soulseek community dead?

I had no idea soulseek was still around. Found some great music that way when I was using it two decades ago in college.

Nemo , to Fuck Cars in What if We Had the Right to Public Transport?

That'd be great, yeah. But scope is the issue.

"All Chicagoans have the right to public transit." Sane and doable. Not done, not currently, as any map of the city will show you, but both possible and desirable.

"All Illinoisans have a right to public transit." I'd love to see it, even if it's just once-a-day trains to Springfield, to St. Louis, to the Region, to Milwaukee, to Rockford, to Peoria, to Chambana. But that's a lot more train lines than we have now, and that means land for stations and RoWs, it means manpower and materials for maintenance, it means working out the logistics of scheduling and fare pricing for the communities being served. And it still won't cover everyone unless augmented with bus lines, which also need logistics, manpower, and maintenance. Still desirable; not very efficient, especially for a perpetually cash-strapped state like Illinois.

"All Americans have a right to public transit." At that point it'd be empty words, doing more harm than good.

"All humans have a right to public transit." At this point, purely aspirational rather than descriptive.
