  • Well first, this deal was part of that sale. That’d be like someone’s boss pocketing a tip and telling the waitress “you don’t deserve this tip you already got paid” or a salesman “you get something hourly, why would you need this commission?”

    They worked for it, after the sale, because it was in their contract.

    That said, the company didn’t even say it was a mess. They said that they needed something like, one more biome, one more leviathan, a few bits and bobs like that. Requirements that they added on later in development, that those three guys say aren’t needed.

    I really wanna hear from the other devs, the ones under the 3. Theirs is the opinion I’d trust in this mess. But I’m leaning towards corporate fuckery, personally.



  • Same.

    With meds and caffeine if I decide to do it I can.

    But if I find a reason to not (breakfast first, let me finish [not make, finish the whole thing] my coffee, let me just catch up on this creator, they made a new thing) I’ll do that thing and then actually forget and do another thing and now its 3pm and dang its ruined might as well finish this one thing before I do it anyway, oh its time to sleep




  • Eat enough that your body gets used to it?

    If I had to guess I’d say its based on the amount of water I drink, and maybe coffee poops keeping me regular, less about the diet itself.

    Dunno for sure, but I do know I have been so regular it was a surprise when someone told me a bidet reduces toilet paper usage, because I just didn’t believe it could do so. That’s because it can’t in my case. Takes me about as long to poop as it does to pee. Wish I could tell you what exactly I’m doing right but something is right.



  • Always gotta wipe, just in case, but I rarely actually need to. No idea what I’m doing right so here’s some facts about my diet

    1. I drink a gallon+ between straight water, coffee, and flavored sparkling water (no calorie, aspartame-sweetened)

    2. My breakfast is usually cereal with 1% milk or bacon and eggs once a week.

    Ramen for lunch

    Pizza or pasta for dinner, with a vegetable side

    Fruits and whatnot are eaten intermittently as snacks.

    Hope this helps I guess its not the best diet but I’m always regular.





  • Genie in the OP image would’ve said “OK you now have 0 wishes”.

    Since he said 255, my interpretation is a valid solution.

    Of course, if we’re talking hypothetical wish gaining prevention methods, I’d just have a check before,

    previous_wishes = wishes;

    {Do all the wish things. wishes ends up with a 255 because of our shenanigans}

    If(wishes>=previous_wishes) wishes = previous_wishes-1;

    ;If the current number of wishes isnt less than the old number of wishes, set it to the old number and subtract 1

    If(wishes==0) {/*TODO: write function to end wish giving sequence*/}


  • Nah theres just no process for undoing your submission.

    It doesn’t matter when it’s decremented if you can’t interrupt the process, anyway.

    In a code sense we pause for input, feed it to the wishmaker function, and pause until the thread returns, then decrement.

    We could decrement first, also, but neither violates the rules.


  • You’re correct but you have an off by 1 error.

    First, the genie grants the wish.

    NumWishes=0;

    Then, having completed the wish, the genie deducts that wish from the remaining wishes.

    NumWishes–;

    And to complete the thought,

    Lastly, the genie checks if the lampholder is out of wishes

    If(NumWishes==0) {…}

    (255==0) evaluates to False, so we fall past that check.
