I was thinking “yeah but would you pay for it”. hmm you think we do?

I keep watching all these Gordon Ramsey shows and am just amazed at his obsession with quality. Quality is number one with him. Everything else, well if you can’t make money then cut back on the fancy ingredients, cut back on the decorations, but whatever you do end up doing, it has to be of the best quality. Simple food, small menu, but top quality and you will succeed.

In programming we’re taught about the triangle and how you can’t have high quality, fast time, or low budget all at once. I think to put Ramsey’s philosphy into a software project, he would say to lower the requirements until you can have all 3, then iterate and build up.

I was thinking more of the development side, mixed with how we players tend to accept it.

That is a totally different metaphor you’re running with.

Your wife sounds like a loot whore, caring more about the item drops (food) than about just seeing content and raiding with good people (you). I say /gkick her (divorce), unless she is a priest (hot), those are hard to replace.

Man this is a fun game.

Better get the +2 Bag of vorpal purging ready….that, or at the very least, a bottle of cherry-flavored Maalox (to increase your CON).

It’s bad when dinner starts feeling like a grind.
