from the 1924 landlord's game patent, an extract from a section on chance events:

"5 Caught robbing a hen-roost - go to jail;

10 Caught robbing the public - take $200 from the board. The players will now call you Senator."

the steel type is wild

of the top ten combinations by resistance*, /eight/ are at least partially steel (the exceptions being normal/ghost, scoring at 15, and ghost/dark, scoring at 15.5)

*calculated by summing the effectiveness of all 18 attacking types; a lower score is better

as of this writing the most common typing of pokemon is currently pure normal, at 69 species. this is followed closely by pure water at 68, and by pure grass at 43.

the most common dual typing is normal/flying with 26 species, being the eighth most common typing overall.

is there a way to get `git describe` to only show the commit hash if it's different from the tagged commit?

update: yes, it's the default behaviour.

wikipedia says todd howard worked on video games before being hired by bethesda, but it doesn't mention them in the list of his work, and the sole citation they link to is dead

so for all intents and purposes the guy just spawned one night in the bethseda offices, announced he was the new upper management, and nobody dared to correct him

normalise uwu

thinking, again, about how the world we live in reads like an episode of TOS star trek

we have almost unlimited power at our fingertips - more than enough for everyone to share and live comfortably - but crusty old men chose to use that power to build moloch, and sacrificed the whole world to it for their entertainment

clear consensus was "either toml [five recs] or yaml [four recs]"

we like toml, so we're going to use that

really cool how firefox uses the "what's new" landing page as an advertisement for their shitty vpn now and has relegated the actual changelog to an unassuming link at the bottom of the page

wait, that's not cool at all! it fucking sucks!
