D&D monster: Toilet Mimic

Also, sewers are far roomier and more ornate in videogames than they are in real life, so for a videogame developer, designing a sewer that they know they could never afford to live in is a kind of fantasy wish fulfilment thing.

Anyway Cloud, Tifa and Aerith have just been dropped from Wall Market into the sewer below by the villain Don Corneo, and this is the first time I've ever felt relief at entering the sewer level.

It's because videogame developers mostly live in sewers, and experience them differently to us. See, real sewers are a lot more interesting because the smells weave a rich tapestry that tells you a lot about the inhabitants of the world above, their health and diet and socioeconomic class - when a videogame designer makes a lengthy and repetitive sewer level, they figure you're imagining the smells and want, as they do, to explore.

the fact that the ATX standard has 12V is really handy in that it makes it easy to replace the PC Speaker in your computer with a real actual car horn

MOTION TO THE INTERNATIONAL SHADOW JAVA COMMITTEE (which meets in a dark, smoke-filled yet also extremely ultramodern Swiss ski chalet / cat cafe)

GIVEN THAT: The new hot but actually old thing for the kids in programming is "promises"

THEREFORE: To capitalize on all the excitement about "promises", Committee should consider renaming "exceptions" to "betrayals"

oh wow that was a fun slide splash wow how did a shark tank get into a ski chalet

I think my presentation went pretty well

@mhoye @darius Years back a friend had this idea of a space station builder game where eventually there's always some station-wide disaster (AI rampage, viral outbreak, genetic experiments go awry, etc) at which point you assume control of one of the survivors and you're playing System Shock.
