Don’t have time for games

#1 Post by A_Tin_Can » Mon May 27, 2019 4:45 pm

As the title says, I don’t have time to play games at the moment. It would be really great if the site could handles this. Just an extra hour or two in the day should be enough.

The developers around here are all volunteers and they're really busy. If you really think this is important, you should code it up yourself and make a pull request.

What do you mean they don’t have time? It’s like one line “if day length less than 28 hours, add more time”. I dont see what’s so hard.

You could take on a student and spectate a game of theirs. It'll be like playing but less time investment.

Maybe if they had more than 24 hours in a day, they'd be able to take on random requests like this.

Has ATC's account been hacked?

I second this. Mostly because I want to play with ATC but he's always too busy

We just need to ask Peterwiggen if he thinks ATC is an idiot who doesn't know how many hours there are in a day, or if he was joking that he would work on that issue in the 25th hour of the day.
The former means Fluminator is the ultimate woosher, the latter means Fluminator was triple wooshed.

I thought we were doing a chain of shrinking whooshes until we got to wosh.

Why would peter logically shut down such a good suggestion though.

Either way Peter has to answer, because I need to know who was the Whooseee, and who was the whooser.

Wait wait there aren't 25 hours in a day?

As an expert in computers, I think this change as originally envisioned may be harder than anticipated. I can however name at least three people who have too many hours in their days. Should be a simple fix to reallocate those hours.

Coding shennanigans like this are possible all the time. Remember the year 2000? if I recall correctly, didn't y2kjbk just add some code and then we got another millenia or so? Ask him...

If we add more hours to the day, will my employer expect me to work those extra hours as well? I already put in 12 hour days.
