@robryk Oh no. :(

@rastinza @RustyStriker Probably depends on the kind of plastic you used?

@10g1k About trapping the mouse on the menu.. would clicking again on the header (the part that made the menu pop up in the first place) solve it? If so, that's good. If not, then yeah, fuck them.

@StroomAfwaarts @Bosbesje@mastodon.nl THERE! ARE! FOUR! LIGHTS!!!

I'm fully making use of this demo event on Steam. I've wishlisted a few games and follow a few. Some games have potential.

@cweickhmann That depends. Does the prepping of the dough take 10 mins? Perfect!

@ThiccGuy69 Total Recall much?

I know one thing for sure: I absolutely do not like to stand on a podium!

@hmblank Lijken me best aardig goede punten die daar aan boord komen. Een stuk genuanceerder in ieder geval.

Apparently using *they* as a singular pronoun (to use instead of *he* and *she*) is hardly a new phenomenon. It dates back to 1375 in written records!

In fact, singular *you* is much more recent! Dating back to the 17th century! 😂

Oh, this quote's fun, and it shows that our gender-related issues has been going on for centuries:

> In 1794, a contributor to the New Bedford Medley mansplains to three women that the singular they they used in an earlier essay in the newspaper was grammatically incorrect and does no ‘honor to themselves, or the female sex in general.’ To which they honourably reply that they used singular they on purpose because ‘we wished to conceal the gender,’ and they challenge their critic to invent a new pronoun if their politically-charged use of singular they upsets him so much.

I'd say it's probably safe to use *they* in general. I do use singular *they* regularly and it's the least fuss imo.

The free entry thing is probably more useful when you have got a fair amount of people participating, more chances on an actual response. And also when the story's indeed more fleshed out and people know what they want to do. And maybe this style on weekends only?

The advantage of the multiple choice one in social media is that people can glance at the story, think for a little bit, and then immediately give an answer. If they see freeform they're like 'Oh, I have to think a lot more.. mm, lemme get back to this later...' and then forget about it. I know that happened to me because I was way too busy, lol.

I can see daily on weekends. Maybe a much lower frequency on weekdays.

@2ck @lucifargundam I think I've seen that bot around, it is a typical oldskool text adventure bot where you have to send comends like 'GO NORTH' and suchlike. I have no desire to interact with it though, I liked the more live and possibly impromptu stuff that you offered us.

I did use the poll notification's threaded connection to the next text. Maybe you could also reserve a specific hashtag for it in case people lose the thread somehow.

I guess being sure to have the next one ready when the poll expires helps a lot in keeping track so you can immediately click on the notification and go to the next post that way to continue the adventure.

@mc @Pat Lol, I was wanting to comment something about political suicide too. ;)

@2ck Oh, and I think the last action was way too freeform, best stick to a select few choices presented like before.

@2ck I enjoyed it for a while but it got a bit too fast for me because I was pretty much busy IRL.

@Coffee This would be wonderful!

@sean Oh, looks like I'm already on there. And that group is pretty much dormant, heh.

@Amikke Ah ok. ;)
