i should actually look up what the hell i'm going to be making a game about, so, a quick knowledge check for my sake: is anarcho-capitalism basically the result of sum1 reading a synopsis of Leviathan in Philosophy 101 and then being like "NO DAD YOu're Wrong we can have all our things without THE MAN involved"

also is anyone else going to work on this. i ask because i want to have legitimacy when i make the first board this (or Ubisoft's updated message from AC: Syndicate, if applicable):

I could make the trek to civilization part. I'm not sure I could mimic your sense of humor enough to do other parts.

I would but it's probably just going to become Hobo Dan in the end.

You say that as if it's a bad thing. Where is Esdemo anyway?

he was at MZXCon 2015 for a little bit! otherwise he's pretty much out of the community.

Hello! I don't think that we did. I think you must have joined right before I left.

Technically she joined yesterday, but I'm going to assume she's someone else and everyone knows who but me.

Exophase i work at a call center doing verizon tech support and had to explain a cell phone bill to some dorky guy who was afraid and disturbed by bills and it turned out he had bought DraStic so i said "oh, you bought DraStic," and talked about how i know that guy from way back and he's a real cool guy, and it was a good call, i didn't get yelled at for his high bill despite overtly expressing my comfort with invading his privacy. also i gave him a $30 credit for no reason. none of this is especially relevant to anything! hi Lynn

That's a great story. DraStic wasn't really to blame for his high bill was it? I mean it's $6 He can buy it another five times now with that credit.

Fortunately I've only gotten three calls about the emulator in the last three years. But the last one was really awful. Dude saw the receipt in his e-mail and freaked out because he didn't buy it and had no idea what it was. I cancelled the order but he was going on about how I stole from him and hacked his account or whatever, and how if the money didn't show up ASAP he was taking me to court and was going to investigate me and whatever. I'm like, sorry your Google credentials got stolen (maybe pick better passwords) but I didn't do it. Kind of amazed this is the kind of thing people would buy with a stolen account. This was during the peak of a big temporary sales boost we got thanks to Pokemon Go, go figure..

He ended the call saying he was going to go scream at Google now, I'd probably hear from him again (thank god I didn't) and that I'd better be paying taxes on my income!

It wasn't the app, no (though this made a useful lampshade ("oh, your bill is high! wow!!") with which to funnel the wet, hot emotional expression of his otherwise high bill into a cooler and drier feigned camaraderie), he just wasn't really keeping track of his bill and noticed it seemed higher than usual (service providers unsurprisingly like a customer's bills to climb mysteriously upward and to have as many plausibly deniable reasons available for that to happen, regardless of consistency or cause, go figure). but anyway I'm happy to hear you don't usually get phone calls about it!

that's awesome. i should make a thing i can sell on the app store. i don't suppose people are interested in buying bioinformatics software huh
