[02:45:29] * Bytram only had energy after getting home from training yesterday to look at the queue, see you'd handled things, and then go to bed.
[02:45:36] <Fnord666> Things were looking a bit light in the story queue
[02:46:16] <Bytram> did you bring your torch?
[02:46:35] <Fnord666> and a pitchfork, just in case
[02:46:58] <Fnord666> never know what might be lurking in the queue
[02:47:11] <Fnord666> and I don't want to be eaten by a grue
[02:47:12] <Bytram> I kinda expected a good response to the WTF / Trolls story... but I *never* expected this: #1 comments in Hall of Fame: https://soylentnews.org
[02:47:17] <Bytram> ROFL@
[02:47:21] <Bytram> s/@/!/
[02:47:24] <exec> <Bytram> ROFL!

[02:47:43] <Bytram> Hunt the Wumpus? or... Adventure?
[02:47:59] <Bytram> =g you might get eaten by a grue
[02:48:11] <Bytram> #g you might get eaten by a grue
[02:48:12] <MrPlow> https://en.wikipedia.org(monster) - "A grue is a fictional, predatory monster that dwells in the dark. The term was first used to identify ... You are likely to be eaten by a grue.\" ... In the popular clicker/idle game Clicker Heroes, a grue may be one of causes of death to the player's ..."
[02:48:31] <Fnord666> Adventure
[02:49:12] <Fnord666> wait, it was Zork
[02:49:13] <Bytram> So I thought, but that link claims it was from Zork!
[02:49:29] <Bytram> >>> A common catchphrase associated with grues is a line in Zork, which is displayed whenever players enter a dark area without a light source: "It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue."
[02:49:58] <Fnord666> right, it was Zork
[02:50:31] <Bytram> There is definitely some kind of reference to things being dark in Colossal Cave Adventure
[02:50:48] <Bytram> need to gt batteries from the vending machine, for example
[02:50:53] <Bytram> s/gt/get/
[02:50:54] <Fnord666> And somewhere in the crypt that is my office I probably still have, drawn on 132 column tractor feed line printer paper, my map of the dungeon
[02:50:57] <exec> <Bytram> need to get batteries from the vending machine, for example
[02:51:01] <Fnord666> well the whole game actually
[02:51:03] <Bytram> same here
[02:51:21] <Bytram> as well as a copy of a listing of the game source in FORTRAN
[02:51:37] <Fnord666> mapping the maze of twisty passages was a challenge
[02:51:37] <Bytram> green_bar_paper++
[02:51:37] <Bender> karma - green_bar_paper: 1
[02:51:43] <Fnord666> :)
[02:51:48] <Bytram> all alike or all different?
[02:52:02] <Fnord666> yes
[02:52:09] <Bytram> I found it more challenging to map the all-alike one.
[02:52:27] <Fnord666> was zork the one with the pirate in the maze?
[02:52:39] <Bytram> CC adventure
[02:52:42] <Bytram> IIRC
[02:52:52] <Fnord666> who would steal the things you dropped trying to map the rooms in the maze
[02:53:33] <Bytram> pirate wanted to steal your artifacts which were necessary for the later puzzles, such as the 'rod'
[02:53:42] <Bytram> sounds right
[02:54:20] <Fnord666> I think I still have Zork around somewhere, probably on 3.5" floppies
[02:54:46] <Fnord666> don't forget the cage!!
[02:58:42] <Bytram> I found Zork to be just... complicated and confusing for the sake of being complicated and confusing, whereas CC Adventure seemed to have found the right balance between discoverability, obscureness, and delight at solving the puzzles. More whimsy than just outright challenge.
[02:59:08] <Bytram> =g volcano view
[03:00:52] <Fnord666> Agreed. I liked both but enjoyed CC more
[03:02:48] <Fnord666> Wow that story really did blow up. Gona take some time to read it all
[03:04:54] <Bytram> I stayed with it through the first 250-300 or so comments and then IRL stuff got in the way.
[03:05:45] <Fnord666> be interesting to see how it all settles when the modding is done.
[03:06:32] <Bytram> One positive development, at least, has come of it. Besides people gaining a bitmore awareness of moderation's purpose and use, TMB actually liked my suggestion of a "-1 Ad Hominem" mod and, as I suspected, would be nearly trivial to implement.
[03:06:46] <Fnord666> on the asteroid article, was there no way to break up the intro copy?
[03:07:04] <Bytram> oh... didnt think of that. was getting snowed by the details
[03:07:10] <Fnord666> currently at 621 words
[03:07:13] <Bytram> are you still in it?
[03:07:17] <Fnord666> I am
[03:07:25] <Fnord666> I can clean up
[03:07:25] <Bytram> pls let me know when it is avail
[03:07:29] <Bytram> nod nod
[03:07:30] <Bytram> no rush
[03:07:36] <Fnord666> oh you can edit if you want
[03:07:44] <Fnord666> i had just started to second it
[03:07:49] <Bytram> ok, going in!
[03:07:49] <Fnord666> i'm out of it now
[03:09:33] <Bytram> how does 248 words sound?
[03:10:06] <Fnord666> much better
[03:10:24] <Bytram> put the conclusion in a <spoiler>
[03:10:33] <Bytram> all done
[03:10:40] <Fnord666> oh, good idea
[03:10:41] <Bytram> Fnord666++ great catch@

[03:10:58] * Bytram has been taking typoing lessens for cmn32480
[03:11:27] <Fnord666> lol
[03:12:23] <Fnord666> if you're going to learn something, you might as well learn from a master!
[03:12:57] <Bytram> I had a *bunch* of supporting material in the asteroids story. I was firmly instructed in the "show your work" way of doing things... and had to, reluctantly, remove a boatload of justifications and supporting evidence and just run with it, instead.
[03:13:13] <Bytram> you gut that write!
[03:14:05] <Fnord666> Something subtly wrong about you #fite-ing yourself
[03:14:11] * Bytram scored a couple Dell Latitude 6410's with i3's, 4GB RAM, and good batteries... for $25 each.
[03:14:20] <Bytram> at least I mostly win
[03:14:52] <Fnord666> Nice!!!
[03:15:09] <Bytram> besides, as a matter of principle, I make it a point to not #fite someone unless they have at least half as many points as I do. Sometimes I need to downsize in order to do that.
[03:15:37] <Fnord666> I've forgotten. How do you change your descriptions?
[03:15:44] <Bytram> my record is just over 20k combined hit points in one match
[03:15:45] <Fnord666> for weapon and armor

[11:51:34] <Bytram> The only other game that I recall from that era that might have had a reference to a grue was "Hunt the Wumpus" but according to this page https://www.codeproject.com I see no mention of a grue there, either.

[14:15:18] <janrinok> OK
[14:15:48] <janrinok> I was pushing it before your additions anyway, so it makes sense
[14:16:13] <janrinok> those with cell phones will just love it!
[14:16:36] * Bytram does an initial preview
[14:17:39] * janrinok notes that it will the first story he's had seconded in a few days...
[14:19:48] <Bytram> okay, I'm not ecstatic, but take a look if you would

[14:21:09] <Bytram> yes... do you not see them?
[14:21:34] <janrinok> it is still filtering through
[14:21:54] <janrinok> got them now
[14:22:24] <Bytram> oh, go look at it through the editing interface... otherwise it can take up to ~5 minutes to make it through the front-ends
[14:22:44] <janrinok> I am, but it still took 30 seconds plus
[14:23:04] <Bytram> hmmm, more system hiccups?
[14:23:13] <janrinok> no, it's good now
[14:23:54] <Bytram> good good

[14:28:24] <janrinok> That will make for interesting reading when I wake up in the morning :) 477 comments to beat....
[14:30:07] <Bytram> can't we put it off for a couple days so I have a chance to get up to 500? =)
[14:30:40] * janrinok sings 'I didn't start the fire....'
[14:30:58] * Bytram quickly rummages around for earplugs!

[20:32:57] <Bytram> after getting [written?] permission from TheConversation. Otherwise, it must be used in its entirety and it needs to have a link back to the original (that's not a problem) and it needs to have a "tracker" image (that's from memory) imbedded so they can follow who is using their stuff. I dare say there are very few folk on this site who would willingly submit to that... and I would be first among them.
