@jalefkowit @trinsec Yes, I enjoyed that one!

@JonathanMBR Interesting -- I tried to quote toot this with a CW (snek), but the CW doesn't hide the image!

@trinsec @jalefkowit That's the second rec I've seen on here for Card Crawl, so maybe I'll try that one next.

@Patricia_andrea Presumably one of the exercises will be quantum jumping jacks.

After happening upon a Russell Crowe movie on late night TV, Trump would now like to have himself appointed Special Master and Commander in Chief.

@jalefkowit points out that the designer of Cultist Simulator is, as they say, "problematic".

Underhand looks prettier and clearer, but from this video, too choose-your-own-adventure for my tastes.

I'm interested in any other #Android game recs! I'm in no way committed to the cultist theme.

@jalefkowit Well, crap. I hadn't heard that.

I tried Cultist Simulator and it seems unplayable. I'm combining cards essentially at random, with no real sense of whether I'm making any progress, then I die without warning. The "tutorial" was useless.

a is an array of numbers.

a[3] = "hello"

#Java: Type error

#Python: Sure, why not?

#Rstats: Yes, and I'll turn all the other elements into strings, too

#ProgrammingAsImprovTheater

I don't know how I'm supposed to keep up morale working in a place like this.

It's great that we might get #RankedChoiceVoting / #InstantRunoffVoting for future Portland elections. It would be nice if we had them for this year's #oregon governor's race, which has a Democrat, a Republican, and an "independent".

In addition to solving the "spoiler problem", RCV would answer the eternal question of third parties: are we what everyone wants (but they vote strategically out of fear), or are we a fringe?

@trinsec Everybody else sang along to the song, which is full of gross, childish description of the worm-eating process. It might make sense that the bus riders would find this amusing, thinking back to their childhood camping days. Then the real worms come out.

Not sure why there are no closed captions available on this one; I thought YouTube generated those automatically.

@trinsec Yes. They sing a traditional camp song including the lyrics:

Nobody likes me
Everybody hates me
I'm going to go eat worms

... then they pull out a briefcase of actual worms, start eating them, and are surprised to be thrown off the bus.

"We told them we were going to eat worms. They seemed to like the idea."
