This is wild - somebody did a deep dive into the real stories behind this famous XKCD: sheets.works/data-viz/hol...

an XKCD comic showing a precariously assembled tower of blocks. much is labelled "all modern digital infrastructure." a thin leg down at the bottom is labelled "A project some random person in Nebraska has been thanklessly maintaining since 2003."

I'm regularly blown away by your skillset! You make great art, you make music, you're a programmer 🤯 I just learned a bit of coding in school and at uni, so yes, I can code, but I don't have a concept on how to structure everything so it works together. It's very patchworky. 🙈 But I keep crawling!

Oo I just started my first small video game. And by small I mean Pico-8. And by "just" I mean a year ago. My NPCs can avoid each other on their way to work and I have a sepperate file where they can talk, kind of, but not walk... Wdym coding is fast??? I'm such a noob 🤣

⚔️🔥CAPTURE QUEST: CHARIZARD🔥⚔️ I have wanted to paint this for over a decade and spent the last year of my life fighting to bring it to the finish line. Please take a look, there is a lot to see

Gargantuan illustration of a charizard redesigned in the style of a monster hunter elder dragon. There are 4 hunters attacking him and their pikapalico is readying a voltorb bomb to throw. There is so much stuff in there, I spent a damn year on this. I'm exhausted.

When I worked in a small town computer store circa 2003, we called this stuff "malware," and most of our customers paid us to get it off their machines. They just remade BonzaiBuddy while telling us it's good now.

People seem to forget that the effort needed to make something is a great filter too! "Oh, I could make this. But that takes a lot of work. Oh, its not THAT good of an idea" Nowadays things are just sloped out and forgotten in am instant, burying great works underneath them :/

yes, that's of course the problem, especially with my second example: weak underleveled random encuounters .I really think they can be important narrative tools, but it's a balancing act: make them too frequent and it'S tedious. make them to seldom and the area gets boring as well...

fersus.bsky.social @fersus.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I know it's really hard to do, but I think random encounters are good for 2 instances: sell a dangerous unexplored area (don't go through the swamps!) or reenforce certain plot points (why keep low tier peasants attacking us? Oh, right! there's a famine! that's why they're so weak yet desperate!)

I'm doing the same atm. I picked it up again after 20 years hiatus. one player is still the same, but he does not remember anything. His character is the sole survivor of a hard battle against the bbeg. I planted his old character as an NPC and play now from a different point of view. it's fun!

wenn Gefahr in Verzug ist. Ansonsten würde ich immer auf Rehabilitationsmaßnahmen setzen. Ziel sollte doch ein reibungsloses Miteinander sein. Wenn man alle wegsperrt ist es zwar reibungslos, aber kein Miteinander mehr...

010

fersus.bsky.social @fersus.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Therapien die Menschen wieder in die Gesellschaft zurück führen und ein gemeinsames Leben wieder möglich machen sind da mMn der bessere Weg, und zwar generell für alle Straftaten bei denen es nicht evident ist, dass Therapien keine Erfolgsaussicht haben. Wegsperren ist aus meiner Sicht nur sinnvoll

100

fersus.bsky.social @fersus.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Vorallem der "um Wiederholung zu verhindern" Part ist sehr schwierig, weil man dann Menschen für Taten bestraft, die Sie noch gar nicht begangen haben. Dann können wir gleich alle einsperren, weil alle Straftaten wurden bisher von Menschen begangen -> alle wegsperren-> keine Straftaten mehr!

100

fersus.bsky.social @fersus.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Diese Argumentation finde ich schwierig, weil demnach müssten wir immer alle für alle Zeit wegsperren: Höhere Strafen schrecken nicht ab? -> für immer weg, sonst vielleicht Wiederholung! Höhere Strafen schrecken ab? -> für immer einsperren = maximale Abschreckung! Das führt das ganze ad absurdum...

fersus.bsky.social @fersus.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Die wird eben offenbar nicht angestellt, was als Argument gegen höhere Strafen angegeben wurde

fersus.bsky.social @fersus.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Das ist natürlich ein gutes Argument. Ich habe mich da aber auch nicht eingelesen, nur die Antwort auf die selbe Frage aus dem Forum widergekäut. Ich habe auch keine Ahung in wie weit man da mit anderen Methoden für Rehabilitation sorgen kann.
