My face is worse, still no electricity but at least got water. Its a bacterial infection apparently caused by the high fever. Also 22% battery and the signal is choppy. FML with a cactus

Body is sore, mood is poopy over my disappointment yesterday. I don't think any of my closer friends are actually in Cologne right now. Damn I'm lonely...

Talking about asses, I'm so done with Palmer Luckey. I used to think he was just another Silicon Valley savant, but what he did requires more than just a tinge of assholery.

It's after 1 AM. The park is technically closed. We're in line for a rollercoaster because my roommates are stubborn. They're experiencing a "temporary delay". I don't get why they don't just close the ride and force us to go home :(

I want to get off Mr. Bones Wild Ride

It's not like I planned on buying a Rift, but my likelihood of buying one just went down even more. If I cared about VR I'd opt for any of the alternatives

It's 3:44 in the AM here and I'm not asleep, but I also kinda don't want to sleep. I need to find some friends who are also insomniacs who I can hang out or talk on the phone with during times like this.

Do you guys have kebabs?

Yes we do have those. Northern-African/Turkish and Asian food are really popular and easy to get.

Mexican not so much. We have Taco Mundo, which is at least something....but it ain't the real thing.

Only time when we are lucky is when they have street food festivals. They usually have at least one Mexican food truck. Best goddamn nacho's ever I ate at one of those.

I'm extremely small time and almost no one pays attention to my tweets and stuff and I still try to avoid stating anything too political to the public because I know there's no win there

Also RIP Jake, I hope everything is good with you

That's almost exactly how you get more attention online, negative and positive.

Is that why you didn't commit to full communism last night?

eventually the plan is to sell my game(s). I know my audience and gamers in general are probably leaning liberal, but what do I gain by making political statements that alienate the ones who don't identify that way? Let's say 20% of my potential audience is decidedly conservative in terms of their politics. Why provoke them with nothing to gain from it?

That's my general lline of thought

Oh I didn't know you're making a game, yeah unless the game itself is political being political wont get you far.
I can't play Fez anymore since I found out Phill Fish is a dick head, saying alienating shit will only lead you to a smaller audience.

At least theres one benefit to people thinking of my existence as a political statement :p


Personally tho I think if your fiction doesn't have political statements in it you're not trying. Aesops fables are political statements, LOTR is full of political statements, Alice in Wonderland has a ton of political statements, Star Trek is more political statement than it is sci-fi :p (tho its rare for scifi to not have predictions of where humanity will go and judgments on such)

I don't think your existence is a political statement. If someone says anything anti LGBT, for example, I'd rebuke them as publicly as possible

But I'm not going to be politically active in terms of election politics and candidates and stuff, there's just no win there
