I was banned a while ago. Way back...I just kept posting and eventually I was unbanned. To address your post...uhh..well I dunno where to start. If I despised it I wouldn't bother posting here. I was making a light hearted comment about what this place literally is. It's a news website for people who are interested in or are currently applying for funding from YC. That's why hacker news exists. The fact that it attra…

You believe you’re on a “pretentious news aggregator devoted to people trying to suckle on VC money to launch their next 'great idea'.” That isn’t lighthearted, it is a spiteful declaration that you look down on HN and everyone involved with it. Your third paragraph in the comment I’m responding to is similarly dripping with hatred against anyone who takes HN seriously. Everything you’re saying amounts to a confessio…

Greetings, new friend!

You seem to have a misunderstanding on the use of Hacker News (henceforth "orange site"). While orange site (or its users) may be characterized as pretentious, it's by no means not a place for low IQ discussion. This can be demonstrated by the use of the upvote system. The goal of orange site is to increase your score and you do so by gaining upvotes. Every user's vote is worth the same so to increase upvotes an optimal strategy is to write a comment (or submission) that most who see it will agree with or like. High IQ content will be definition only appeal to a minority so isn't part of an optimal strategy (unless you can make it look significantly impressive).

Best wishes and happy commenting!

The other side is the afterlife

I don’t buy that interpretation. The joke is super old, like, baby boomer old. They weren’t that dark. They were going around saying things like, “In the year 2000, we’re going to have a base.. on the moon!” There’s no way the people of that generation would have even considered the darker interpretation of that joke. Hell, I’m gen-x, and depressive, and that interpretation never occurred to me.

haha yeah, nobody before $my_generation had their own internal world

Well I choose to believe FriendlyNormie really thinks I'm on a massive campaign to subvert and corrupt hn. It gives my comments far more purpose than just trying to gain a sense of validation when somebody clicks that up arrow and approves of something I say. Makes me feel like a spy rather than just a lonely internet dweller.

Hmm, next time! I keep thinking of ways to tie in education to a text adventure. Trying to achieve what Walt Disney said: > I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.

My sole reason for playing Assassin's Creed games is so I can wander around in historical settings and read the flavor text they use to describe the various landmarks and historical events, artworks and people. Honestly, I think Ubisoft should eighty-six the assassin stuff and just make virtual museums.

AC Oddyssey and Origins had an educational mode complete with tour guides (or is that what you're referring to?)

That is not what I am referring to. The structure of those modes is too rigid: players have to follow a planned route, stop and wait for the guide to finish talking at each station. Too much like a real life tour.

Ah I understand, my assumption is you can disable/ignore the tour and walk around as you wish but I'm yet to have chance to try the mode myself to confirm.

> Rick turning himself into a pickle [1] (because ??? he could) I feel like most people miss the thrust of that episode. Pickle Rick is an allegory about Rick’s drinking problem taken to an absurd literalist extreme.
