query curls

Way to be a pretentious douchebag. I just call them "hooky lines".

Playing chess is not esoteric knowledge. If a game cant even have rules, whats the point?

Trying to figure out how to move the horse is harder than becoming a Rabbi, so I'd say it is pretty esoteric. I still haven't figured it out and not engaging the horse really hinders my ability to play, quite unfairly.

>>43
Horse(Actually Knight) is easy to visualize:
1.Move 2 cells forward in any direction.[][]
2.Move 1 cell to the side(left/right)[][]| <--direction on line
3.You can ignore any piece in the intermediate cells.

I call them query wgets.

Call this query wgets *shows dick*

A shame almost all MMORPGs revolve around killing monsters for profit. Why this paradigm of mandatory violence is so pervasive?
Couldn't there be a purely social MMO(like Second Life minus the digital economy)?
A mmo where you only grow and play with pets?
A MMO where you just solve puzzles?
A MMO where you only explore mysteries/dungeons/travel?

there used to be one called Eternal Forest IIRC. it sucked

A shame FrozenAnus won't fuck off back to his dead Zetaboards reddit.

12. Gives the ability to host your own server if it supports multiplayer without using or informing a central server.
13. Is under a free software license.

I don't think that I agree with 1 however.

Free software is code for white genocide.

War crimes were literlly just a bullshit excuse to execute the nazis.

CHECK THEIS?

>>52
multiplayer with a central server means that you don't ever connect to misconfigured shit, and you have no trouble finding other people to play with

it's also more effective against removing hackers from the game, because there's a very large banlist instead of 1000 server-specific banlists

the only "freedom" you're giving up by playing a closed-source game is your freedom to fuck around instead of playing the game and if you wanted to fuck around, do something else with your time instead of playing games

>>56

the only "freedom" you're giving up by playing a closed-source game is your freedom to fuck around

Wrong
1.The freedom to mod games, without any limits - closed source games impose artificial limits and 'hardcode' many things.
2.The freedom to play anywhere, anytime and host your private servers. Independence from commercial/official servers.
3.The freedom to create any maps/scenarios/data files and play them without being censored, limited or banned.
4.The ability to update/modify the source code, fix bugs and develop the game further, after the developers/companies abandon it or cease publishing.
5.The freedom to learn programming tricks and cool hacks/ideas from examining source code and applying it in other games/software.

>>56
Forcing multiplayer to use a central server only removes from you the ability to make a choice.

>>57
When you play a multiplayer game with certain rules that are supposed to be evenly applied to all players, it's sensible to have an arbiter of what actions are considered valid and it's sensible for the server to be that arbiter. Most people would not consider it sportsmanlike for individual players to play under actions that "ruin the spirit of the game" or are otherwise not available for the rest of the players.

If you're playing a single player video game, it's very sensible for you to pick and choose how you want the game to work. You get to choose the spirit of the game you want for yourself as your rules don't impede on any other person's sense of the game.

>>59
There is freedom to pick your rules. You have thousands of mods, maps and versions. Just like Open Source allows you to have infinite variety and freedom to tinker.
