Come on Google! How does it not rewrite that query?
Thursday ideas:
Stargazing
Political voting from a game theory perspective
Arts and Crafts projects
Good/Bad building design
I couldnāt find anything on the guys doing a show about cheese. I feel like they could definitely a Thursday show about all things cheese.
Rym is sick, so no podcast tonight. I will stream something instead. What do you want to see?
Civ game, cooking stream, Zelda randomizer game, random game you bought in a bundle but never played before.
It can be a non-game stream. I have cameras and technology.
+1 to the zelda randomizer idea.
I vote Gunpla with Scott.
You havenāt done an interview in a while. I wonder if you could get Neil Cicierega.

Itās been on my wish list since I saw it at PAX. The only thing that is keeping me from playing it is other games.

First time I caught your live episode thing, and only because I subscribed to the channel after it suggested the ādream daddiesā stream for some reason.
Iām all for most of the ābadā tech episodes, but I might be biased. In my ten years as a developer Iāve learned a lot of esoteric shit. Iāve seen so many bad products and platforms. But do the one on load balancing for sure, because Iāve never been in a position where Iāve had to. Iāve had servers that were underpowered for something, Iāve seen code that was clearly likeā¦ the opposite of optimizedā¦ but Iāve yet to actually have to build a real dynamic load balancing multi-server setup. Iāve fixed almost all my load problems either by re-writing something to actually pay attention to shit I learned in college, or by throwing more reasonable hardware at it (usually like super underpoweredā¦ 1 gig 1 core vms that need to be like four times that).
Pessimized!

Hereās a good Wednesday or perhaps even a Thursday idea:
Watching South Park as a person who actually cares.
South Park gets a lot of flack, probably rightfully so, for doing things like Manbearpig that take a serious person, in this case, Al Gore, and turn him into a very mockable buffoon. At least a generation of people have grown up thinking Al Gore is a joke because of Manbearpig. Occasionally, it does cover topics in a way I consider to be at least somewhat positive, like the episode about being trans, but the general rep of South Park is that it convinces comfortable people to stay in the status quo, and that caring is something that stupid people do.
And yet, Rym and Scott want to watch every episode as soon as it comes out. Scott basically only gets Hulu to watch South Park. We know their preferences and attitudes donāt line up with South Parkās, so why continue to watch the show?

What day do you need shows for? All the ways to measure programmers, and how theyāre all bad.

Yāall should watch and review GATE: And So the JSDF Fought
Iāve said Geeknights should do the movie Her. I reiterate that statement.

Has there been an episode about poker? Would be interesting to hear the GeekNights take on massively popular games outside of typical gamer circles, such as this.
