I've been a programmer for decades and I still sometimes look at code I wrote 6 months ago like what the fuck was I thinking. Code is as much art as science.

These two having any kind of conversation would be fucking hilarious. Absolute opposite ends of the spectrum of narcisstic assholes, they would both go insane trying to out alpha each other while being completely unable to communicate in any way that made sense to each other.

Super underrated, the final fight is a letdown but the rest of the film is on par with the first.

Gamify this stuff. Instead of a single silent alarm causing the players to get ambushed, have a threat level that you're tracking that requires multiple triggers to end up in the worst case scenario. Give players in-game feedback that this is happening (they notice there's a higher frequency of patrols, overhear guards getting new orders, etc). Give players mechanisms to reduce the threat level (waiting until things cool down, hacking security systems, stealth takedown of guards, etc).

As much as it is tempting to do pure simulation in a realistic way, it doesn't always make for a fun game. Fun almost always comes from interesting and meaningful decisions for the players. Having invisible triggers going off behind the scenes that the players will never know about is only interesting for the GM.

Literally just tell them what you said in this post.

This... doesn't look real? Like, what position is that cat at the top in?

Not calling anyone out, obviously it could be legit, just looks very strange to me.

I mean, "almost half" means that the majority still want to vote for him.

Soulseek is the best option I've found for this: https://www.slsknet.org/news/node/1

It's an old style file sharing app, like Napster and Limewire, but is focused on underground music. I've been using it for years and had no problems with spyware or anything like that.

Thanks for this well thought out and nuanced opinion.
