@Tiberio En mis tiempos precisamente el que no se jugaba era el D&D, porque era carísimo. Jugábamos a _El Señor de los anillos_, _Paranoia_, _La llamada de Cthulhu_, _Star wars_ o cualquier cosa que oliera a cyberpunk.

@veer66 Sadly, yes. But, hey, it's easier in general to understand people speaking than singing. That means that your knowledge of Spanish may come in handy some day at work, for instance. It may help you earn money!

@veer66 If it helps (though on second thought I guess it doesn't), there are many songs in Spanish that I can't understand without reading the lyrics, and I'm a native. Singers today are really bad at pronunciation (I think they do aim at being bad at it, like it was hip to be unintelligible) and I suspect that they may even make words up in order to make verses rhyme or fit the beat.

@Miaourt That's what Pedro Sánchez did in Spain last year and it sort of worked for him. The idea is to capitalise on the fear most people have of the far-right to minimise his losses and maybe buy some time for himself.

@veer66 As Alan Kay put it, “people who are really serious about software should make their own hardware.”

@coolboymew Oops! I didn't know it was this very weekend.

@coolboymew I will surely be there for some of it, then.

@coolboymew If timezone differences and work allow, I will be there.

@ChrisWere Yes, you should. No, it isn't.

@kura Yeah, to me the batteries are more like a plus. Not really a must, or even a should, to be honest. It's the impeccable taste in games that did it for me.

@eSheep

@claudiosegovia A mí con que me digan la verdad y no quieran hacerme luz de gas me basta.

@eSheep
@kura That's how I discovered pretty good games, like _Ghost Trick_.

@veer66 Best of luck!

@wolf480pl It is, of course, but EC algorithms use much smaller keys for an equivalent level of security.

@wolf480pl I haven't studied RSA as deeply (so I'm willing to be proved wrong), but it always seemed to me that the security it offered was based mostly on the size of the key, which made me distrustful of the underlying algorithm. “Computing power is catching up to us! Quick! Use bigger primes!”

@wolf480pl I studied elliptic curves recently and I found the math behind them beautiful. Also, at least part of it (namely, modular arithmetic) is not that hard to explain or grasp.

@vaartis May I interest you in the Yakuza series (or its spin-offs)? They are goofy/fun and usually not very long.

@vaartis For some reason, you don't seem very happy about it.

@vaartis What ending did you get? CW it if you want.

@camelliakyoto Why don't you call them 百年坂, 二百年坂 and 三百年坂, then?
