Is there anyone running storyBB that I can sign up for to see what it does?
we're pre-alpha currently, so the only running instance is our dogfood. I'll pop back by when we release an alpha build you can play with.

RE: The Official Don't-Interpret-My-Dreams Thread
I dreamed I was a power ranger. We were just kind of starting out, and there was some mechanism involving dogs. So like, each of us had a dog that was the source of some of our abilities, and some of us had multiple dogs we could switch between, but it could be like any dog, so you could like, find a better one if you want different abilities. I'd bred a couple pit bulls, one that boosted jump a lot and one that boosted speed. We were getting the overview of how the zords worked. Including there being some kind of impervious capsule we would be inside as a cockpit to protect us from the damage they might take, and like.... apparently it came with a full range of medical care options inside too, so you could survive in there for weeks if you had to. (It was fun for the lads to discover it could insert a catheter, lol).
You had to synchronize with the others to be able to use the telepathy network and the combining bits, it was kind of like pacific rim that way. Some kind of mishap happened and the whole team minus me went on a time-travel adventure, so I got some practice with my zord, hung out with dogs, trained some kind of exotic beast friend as a pet, general stuff. There was this weird solo mission where I thought I was fighting a guy with a zord, but he actually had bonded with a magical beast instead, weird stuff. Then the others came back and I was like great, let's go! But I couldn't sync anymore, because they'd gone off and had adventures and I didn't know them as well as I used to. I was trying to get Blue (I was Red) to talk to me about his philosophy on life so I could kind of figure out how to sync back up when senpai woke me

RE: Why are people putting AMAs in Civilized Salon instead of Look At Me!
@blek said in Why are people putting AMAs in Civilized Salon instead of Look At Me!:
I've been tempted, but I try to fight the impulse and hear people out. I try to only mute when either I can't keep my calm, or I don't think there's anything to be learned.

RE: Why are people putting AMAs in Civilized Salon instead of Look At Me!
@blek I like to hope that's not entirely true, but it's just a vain hope for humanity being able to overcome political partisanship and share real conversations, not really based in any facts.

@tsaukpaetra I had mine at 0 for months, though I had the Garage muted. It's oddly freeing to let it go.

RE: Why are people putting AMAs in Civilized Salon instead of Look At Me!
@blek I said I was having trouble participating in a discussion of trans people because it's very personal to me, so I'd need people to be gentle. Someone said being trans was a mental illness we just need to cure. So I left the thread, because I was getting emotional. Isn't that what you'd want?
But yeah, I didn't quit the salon so much as stop posting in the forums much overall outside of games. Unrelated to that thread.

Anyone got advice on forming in the UK vs the US? I've only done sole proprietorships in the US. We're looking at doing a partnership, and we're not sure if we need limited liability or not (leaning towards yes, doing an LLC). Tech, so data laws may be a factor.

RE: Markdown: Data or stfu
When I did my course in HCI, they taught us that we should typically assign a task for the user to complete, like Mikael's hypothetical text writing task. The closer to real-world task the better, so maybe you take 2-3 users and put them into a forum and instruct them to have a discussion, or play a forum game of some kind. One useful measure when conducting a study like this is the number of errors made, or the number of times they had to backtrack to correct the formatting. Another is the number of clicks it took them to get to their formatting. In this case, you may want to compare how many times users went to the visual toolbar vs typed out the symbols -- if they even learned how to type the symbols at all. You'd want to compare HTML with BBCode with Markdown. And yes, you might want to do a questionnaire afterward to measure their satisfaction with the input system.

"ESLint" thing running in my Error List
ESLint is software that yells at you when your code isn't formatted correctly. That's probably not breaking your intellisense, though it's possible the plugin is written very badly I suppose.

RE: "Work account" productivity tips
@cartman82 Yeah, I had that problem too. I ended up deciding if I was in flow, I could ignore the timer instead of resetting it, and keep going. But then I stopped using it altogether. So... YMMV
-
RE: "Work account" productivity tips
@cartman82 Try Pomodoro? Sometimes having the little box of "I can check facebook, but only for 5m, and then back to work" can help. A lot of the time denying urges in the brain leads to them coming back stronger, though obviously this is less true for things like "check facebook" than things like "eat food".

RE: Real books with weird titles
@khudzlin I dunno one way or the other, honestly. I usually picture the authors of gay romances being women, because the authors of most of the ones I've read were, but that's probably not accurate 100%.

RE: Real books with weird titles
@ben_lubar Homophobia. It's considered emasculating to be the "bottom", and these are humor erotica, so the point is to emasculate the protagonist for laughs.

RE: Podcast Recommendations Thread
While I'm talking about it, my favorite podcast network is Nightvale Presents; if you're into serial fiction, this is the place you want to be. If you haven't heard Welcome to Nightvale, most if not all of the episodes are on YouTube, it's worth a listen. It's sometimes billed as horror, but it's really not. It's weirdness with a horror veneer, a sort of celebration of being quirky and strange. In Nightvale, you come to love the things that ought to be scaring the piss out of you, like the infamous Dog Park, or the Glow Cloud (All Hail!) that rains dead animals down when it doesn't get its way.
With the success of Nightvale, they started a network to showcase other fiction stories (and one non-fiction):
- Alice Isn't Dead tells the story of a female trucker driving across America in search of her missing wife, Alice. This is actually horror. There were a couple episodes I was clinging to my husband's hand, but most of the time I can stomach it without nightmares, maybe due to the non-visual nature of the medium. It's really good for road trips. There are currently two seasons.
- Within The Wires is not body horror, like I expected from the previews. It's actually not very horrific at all, it's mostly suspense and mystery. It comes in the form of a series of relaxation tapes that start to spell out an unusual picture as you listen.
- The Orbiting Human Circus (of the Air) I have to confess I haven't listened to much of. I didn't care for the preview, I've been meaning to give it another listen.
- Conversations With People Who Hate Me is their first nonfiction podcast. It's put on by one of the voice actors for Nightvale, and it's basically the floof thread done in podcast form. It's pretty new but so far so good.

Podcast Recommendations Thread
I just picked up a new podcast I quite enjoy and wanted to recommend it to ya'll. We don't seem to have a thread for that yet, so I figure I'll start one.
The podcast I came to recommend is called Song Exploder, but as it's part of my second-favorite podcast network, I figure I'll plug the whole family. The network is called Radiotopia, and if you like to learn things, it's a great place to start. These shows tend to be on the shorter side (30 minutes tops) and each seems to be themed around digging deeper into some fun, interesting topic. They're all very well produced on a technical level, since they seem to have roots in radio, and so far I've not found a show that didn't have a sense of charm and fun to it. It's like having a conversation with a really charismatic geek about their favorite topic.
- I think the most famous of their shows is also the one I started with: 99% Invisible, which is about design and engineering in the modern world. The topic is so broad, every week you learn something new. Roman Mars (the host) has a lovely voice, too; turns out he's the guy who founded the whole network, so TIL.
- The Allusionist is about words and language. It's hosted by a sexy British lady with a wicked sense of humor. Even if I wasn't a language junkie, I'd be all over that.
- Showcase is their newest project: a series of mini-series that are interesting topics but would run dry long before taking off financially if given their own show. They're still on the first series, "Ways Of Hearing", but if this is a taste of what's to come I'm on board for the long haul.
- The one I discovered most recently is Song Exploder. In this show, the host takes the "stems" (or single tracks of the raw data that got mixed into a song) of songs and combines them with an interview with the artists to create a compelling narrative of how the song was created. Each episode ends with the final track, so you can fall in love with the song from an artist's point of view and then hear it.

Leaving those topics for a bit, I've wanted to get back to Schlock Mercenary for some while now, but it has been about ten years and archive panic sets in every time I try to read it again. OTOH, Howard Taylor's release scheduling has been rock solid for over fifteen years, and he mixes hard science with comedy like no one else.
That's on my list, but I haven't binged for the same reason >.>

Ghastly's Ghastly Comic (NSFW doesn't even begin to cover it), though that has been hiatus longer than most webcomics are active. Let's just say it's very funny and very, very dirty. The original tagline was "Tentacle monsters and the women who love them", though that barely scratches the surface.
I loved the everloving fuck out of that comic.
