  • I tried to address that by 1) having the silent protagonist option where the story unfolds as it would without the flourish before the canned response so now it’s only 3x as much, and 2) all of the response dialog is the same because they were going to reply the same way as they would to the good or bad option anyways.

    This will triple the amount of PC options that need to be “written” but the rest of the writing (NPC dialog) doesn’t have to change at all, and that’s where most of the writing goes anyways.



  • I wonder if they could fix that by having 4 options that align with whatever archetype you’ve selected.

    Then you don’t need “ridiculously good” “meh” “ridiculously evil” “… Just continue the story” options

    Pick if you want to play ridiculously good, meh, or ridiculously evil at the start of the game, or if you want to be a passive observer. They’d have to write 3x more player dialogue, but that’s really not that much (have the responses barely change, you know they barely change anyways)




  • The sheets of paper are getting filled in minutes before they’re announced,

    The teams can trade their picks between each other,

    It’s not known what teams are going to take what players, if my team (4) thinks team 1 is going to take player A, and team 2 isn’t interested in that player but team 3 is, if team 1 takes player b instead my team might talk with team 2 about trading draft pick positions so we can get that player.

    There’s a lot of talking between a lot of professionals representing a lot of teams, the whole situation is very fluid, and it might change the course of your franchise (unless you’re the Jets)

    It’s also 3 days of spectacle.

    Not a reptile enthusiast, but knowledgeable enough to know a few things about them.

    A well fed snake, hell most snakes (not all, some constrictors you don’t want to fuck with) won’t see a human as food, and won’t attack unless provoked. Don’t sneak up on a snake, don’t step on a snake, don’t harass a snake and it won’t give 2 fucks about your presence.

    A venomous snake usually (there’s always an exception) has a “neck”, if you can see where it’s head ends and it’s body begins it’s more likely venomous than it’s danger noodle looking counterpart.




  • Here’s my tip, for Lemmy hopefully it will never get so popular as to not work any more.

    Answer the phone for unknown numbers, don’t say a g-d thing, just listen. Let them address you first.

    If they ask for you by name go ahead and respond, if they call back answer with a generic “hi” greeting, don’t let them have your voice or name before you know who they are and what their business is.

    A robot will mark your number as a “dead line” and not call you again.

    A person will either be trying to reach you (and know who you are) or trying to reach a living person, and not waste their time with an unresponsive line.
