This and this are [EDIT: no longer] tied for my most respected post, if I'm remembering correctly. One is an one-liner, the other is an equation.
i never upvoted a mine/mint joke...

the equation is quite good though

Add me to the "doesn't get the mlp fandom" crowd.  I'm a dad, I've seen a few.  Drivel, annoying, terrible.  "Oh, I don't like this present that pony gave me, I think I'll re-gift it..." x4 or however many main ponies there are.  Guess what happens next.  A moral about honesty with your friends.

Adventure Time, Regular Show, Gravity Falls, Stephen Universe, I like kids shows.  But mlp is like Barney/Dora morality+education stuff.

So having read this a while back, I tried watching a couple of episodes of Adventure Time.  Does it get better?  Or at least does it start to make sense at some point?  Surrealism for the sake of surrealism just isn't great as kids' TV...

I think if you didn't like Adventure Time right away, you won't grow to like it.

I would point out I was wrong in the quote above, in that I thought I was referring to mlp but was actually referencing Strawberry Shortcake.

Watched the new LoK episodes.  And I also went and watched the leaked episode 4-6 (in Spanish only, but with subtitles).  I think this is the best season yet, and the story is as compelling as anything in ATLA.  The Big Bad is very interesting despite how little has been revealed of him, and the overall concept for the group of villains is something I've wanted for a long time.  Awesome, awesome stuff.

This game, DerivativeClicker was posted once before, but right now it's in a pretty hilarious place. The latest update kinda breaks things in terms of, you can now grow faster than the game can slow you down due to how reset currency work, which means by far the largest numbers I've legitimately seen in a video game. Before this update, I was sitting at around $10^80, give or take a few orders of magnitude. Now I'm at about $10^155 and still rapidly growing. Or to put that into perspective, I have around $100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, give or take.

There's almost certainly going to be a forced reset next update (on Friday) but you know. Enjoy it being broken while it lasts.

...spin-offs are still better for all of the previously cited reasons.
But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

I've spent the last week designing a board game and creating a playable prototype. I just played it for the first time tonight and our group loved it! This is the first game design that I've been excited enough about to take this far in the design process. I'm just so happy right now because everyone genuinely loved it (and made excellent suggestions for improvement) and there is like no better validation than someone enjoying something you created. :) :) :)

By the way, the game is called Apprentice and I'm hoping to run it as a forum game after I get a bit more playtesting in. Hopefully within a couple weeks!

I think, as an anti-piracy measure, I'll give each player 1/4 of the rules and let them figure it out from there.

(And I'll make sure you only get the setup instructions.)

Glad to hear. I finished AtLA Book 2 yesterday. So I still have four books to go before I get to the new episodes.

I completely misread that as Dsell giving Tables only the sheep instructions.

Been playing too many resource-gathering games.

Can you say what kind of game it is?

Sure, it's a resource collection game in which the actions you can take are determined by a moving/blocking game on a grid of building tiles.

The actions you can take grow stronger-and more expensive-the more times you use a certain building. It makes for very simple decisions at the start but very tough ones towards the end. And the options you have at the end are heavily influenced by the ones you take at the start. Overall I was thrilled by how well the game "worked" the first time.

Book 2 was great because Toph (and, OK, also Azula) and Book 3 just gets increasingly more epic as you approach the end.

I just translated it via Google Translate. I think I understand what is being said, but I don't think I get the joke.

I guess it works better if you know the characters. They are all young children that are uncharacteristically worried by grown-up stuff (although maybe that's always the case in the late 20th Argentina?).

Mafalda is worried about World politics and is always talking about that. Susanita only thinks about getting married and having children; her parents are kinda well-off. Felipe (the guy in the first strip) is more of a normal kid his age. Manolito (the last kid) is the son of a grocer, and wants to become a millionaire when he grows up.

The first strip just shows Susanita being shallow, as she conflates the way the US is portrayed in television with reality (American blue collar workers would all somehow be blonde, handsome, and have a car).

The second strip, the one I actually like, Manolito is concerned that Susanita is becoming a socialist because her comment kinda sounds like she's questioning why there are both poor people and rich people, and not only rich people, although that's obviously not what she meant.

For once, I feel like I am not actually making the joke funnier.

I appreciate the run-down. I definitely didn't pick up on the context in the second strip.

Congrats! The next hurdle is getting people who don't care about your emotional well-being to tell you they like it. That's a bigger challenge generally. :)
