I learned about this because someone dragged a copy to aella’s birthday orgy and it showed up in one of the photos, but the rationalists have a cards against humanity clone and it looks godawful
imagine someone pulls this out and you have no idea what it is. you're kind of nervous and weirded out by the energy at this orgy but at least this will distract you. you look at your first card and it has a yudkowsky quote on it
one of the data fluffers solemnly logs me as “did not finish” as I flee the orgy
Well, it will make your friends more Rationalist but not in the way they hope.
every card is a valuable lesson in how insufferable the Rationalists are
Yep that’s just as many WPC (words per card) that I was expecting
Jesus wept, that one deserves a thread of its own. I can't remember the last time I winced this hard.
dear fuck I found their card database, which doesn’t seem to be linked from their main page (and which managed to crash its tab as soon as I clicked on the link to see all the cards spread out, because lazy loading isn’t real):
e: somehow the cards get less funny the higher the funny rating goes
e2: there’s no punchability rating but it’s desperately needed
Only cards that have incorrect punctuation should be considered funny, this is a clear violation of Rat Law. Big Yud will hear of this.
I propose a SneerClub game night where all we do is play rounds of this thing until we can’t handle any more of it
Having that much liquor on hold may need to be its own budget line item
• came in a deck of cards
instantly tries to connect to port 3000 on load too, heh. looks like a diyolo socket.io implementation, badly done
is it truly that hard for people to configure websocket upgrades under a known url on their primary hosting endpoint
now you may think rationalists know anything about technology
new basilisk defense: only speak to it in websockets
Incredible, they just use the limerick that appears in the "Exaggeration and distortion of mental changes" section of Phineas Gage's wikipedia article, uncritically.
Now I really wonder how much EA donation money went into making this.
