The best part of DIY and Hobbies was The Vault Project where a central Texas man decided to against better advice construct a server farm/storm shelter/ dungeon.

This is insane. How did it go on for so long with so many cheerleaders when everyone including goddamn Grover is telling him it's an awful idea that could get him killed?!

Halfway through someone mentions an "impossible levitating ping pong ball" project or something - do any DIY&H regulars have info on that saga?

E: VVVV no idea, that's why I asked - it just kinda popped outta the thread and sounded like it had a story behind it.

Accept my gift you whore. :argh:

I'm not convinced this game is anything then one gigantic troll with tits. The girls have a set chance to reject gifts, even if you do anything right cause gently caress you (though if you wanna throw some cash our way you can buy premium gift wrap which has a 100% success rate!). Wrapping the exclusive swimsuits cost a lot of owner cash, and if a girl rejects the gift you get to spend the money to wrap it up and try again. There is difficulty scaling, so if you don't want every minigame to be a pain the rear end you need to intentionally throw games to get it to scale back down. There is a money cap so you can't hoard money. Even partnering is a pain in the rear end if you don't take whoever offers to join you at the start, even with 3 notes they still reject.

Honestly I think it's just the Forums Persona he decided to run with. Ruddha is the cool guy, genesplicer is the rad teacher, and misterbibs is Wrong. What he is Wrong about at any given time doesn't matter, all that matters is that there is a topic, and he is Wrong about it. I wouldn't be surprised to open up the traffic engineer thread and see him posting about how street crossings are bullshit because he keeps getting hit by cars. Someone would point out that all you have to do is hit the button and wait for the orange hand to turn into a white stickman and he would be all ??????? THIS IS LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE???

Like seriously sometimes I wonder if he doesn't have that throatitis whatever and just keeps trying to ram the fuckers down sideways and screaming around the tubular meat (which seems to be his natural state) that hot dogs are broken and really need to be fixed in the next patch.

The problem is that whether it's a funny persona or he's really truly blessed with the intelligence of a particularly gifted goat he still causes massive derails everywhere.

I hope there's a relevant quote to this story, because I'd very much like to read whatever exchange lead you to learn this.

This never happened, the chain of events was something like TCC finding a drug that needed to be dosed in micrograms, FYAD started making fun of them for eyeballing the amounts using poo poo like "oh fill the top circle of an 8 on a credit card", and GBS apes the thread but totally missed what "eyeballing" meant and assumed it meant putting it in your eye like the poo poo from the first episode of Cowboy Bebop. MAYBE like one poor soul actually tried it.

Scott Adams is a moron for a lot of reasons and he does hold a lot of genuinely stupid beliefs but I'll still never get sick of goons tripping over themselves to prove that they don't understand what a thought experiment is and claim stuff like "dilbert man doesn't believe in gravity LOL".

Dilbert man managed to put that whole thought experiment together and write a book about it without once considering the loving moon

"A book about it"? It's like two pages in a single book and by the fourth paragraph it's pointing out problems and shortcomings of the model. Like, Adams is actually a crazy person and almost certainly a sociopath but don't talk so much out of your rear end.

e: like the man actually believes that he can think really hard and affect the physical world around him, you don't need to make poo poo up about him to turn him into a dumb rear end in a top hat

At a certain point, they become an uncontrollable self-sustaining saga generator themselves, and must be shut down before their feedback loop becomes powerful enough to destroy the rest of the forums

i mean it could be that, or it could be that the last iteration of the thread was an insane cesspool of unpunished transphobia because the mods all took stupid pills that week or something, who can say


it was the latter, the thread wasn’t even talking about current drama when it got shut down. come the gently caress on

Somehow the thread able to last ~7 years and get goldmined 2-3 times got to be "too much" when completely unmoderated, shocker.

The problems with the Sagas thread went way beyond the transphobia. The thread is toxic by nature because it functions as a mini Helldump/drama magnet and the forums have been measurably better for not allowing it

this would be a much better argument if several iterations didn't go on for years without that happening even a little bit and end up in the goldmine, hth
