Same here. I am awake and full of energy as the sun comes up.

Unfortunately that does mean I am in zombie mode if I try to stay up past sun down.

You said it!

Ding-dang morning people. :/

I'm almost coherent and functional somewhere between my 2nd and 3rd cup of coffee. :P

(Didn't USED to be this way. Back in college I could go for a week on only 2 hours of sleep a night. And often did so I could fit in all of my homework and gaming! But that was a long time ago,...)

I don't hit my stride until about ten or eleven AM. My coworkers (or at least the ones in my department) have gotten mostly used to me zombieing about in the early hours.

Don't hate MMO's! Some of them are great! Like Guild Wars, or Wildstar. Just hate the ones with forced PvP. PvP sucks balls.

An Excerpt from an EVE player's story wrote:

I was approached by one of the leaders of Red Alliance to help [destroy this ship], but almost immediately we were down the rabbit hole. Much to my surprise, the RA director didn’t want in-game information from me; he wanted us to use the forensic resources of our intelligence agency to trace down The Enslaver’s home address. At a coordinated time, armed with this information, a RA member would apparently cut the power to The Enslaver’s house in the real world, and in EVE a RA capital fleet would assault the abruptly pilotless Titan.

[…] CCP [the makers of EVE Online] often touts this sort of thing with the bland marketing lingo of ‘player generated content.’ What that actually means is that you get to share a galaxy with Russian aluminum magnates, French-Indonesian nightclub-owning hackers, self-aggranziding ‘spymasters,’ and people who will cut the power lines to your house to destroy your internet spaceship. There’s something deliciously addictive about the sweeping, endemic insanity, one of the ever-present yet rarely remarked upon facets of this most unhinged of MMOs. (x)

This is the game that PFO wanted to emulate, folks....

EVE is crazy. Any time I watch anime with futuristic MMO's, and think the way people act is over the top and unrealistic, I remember actual, real life EVE stories and reconsider my position.

Which I suppose means I should amend my starting statement. People are crazy. MMO's are just one of many vectors which give good evidence for that.

Working a regular desk job means I am very much in the routine of waking early, so that even when I can sleep late, I still wake early. Over holidays, I usually edge towards 09:00 or 10:00 after a while. I'm always up late though. :P

I got up past 3 pm today. I was awake for some time, though. If you can call that dizzy pillow-clutching half-existence awake.

Same. I pretty much have to use sleeping aid medication to get myself to bed at the 10:30/11 PM required when I have to be up for 6 AM shifts in January. Otherwise my internal clock refuses to let me even attempt sleep before midnight.

Kobolds and Gnomes living together! Mass hysteria! The end of the world is coming!

Can't speak for Icy's group, but in my group's setting we got rid of the Gnome/Kobold rivalry long ago. The whole thing has its roots in the stupid behavior of Greyhawk's gnome deities, after all, so it doesn't make much sense to me if you try to have that enmity in place in settings that don't have Garl Glittergold and/or Kurtulmak in their pantheon.

Doubly so with the Pathfinder Gnome origin story - with Kobolds originating in subterranean caverns and Gnomes originating in the fey world, the two wouldn't have even been associated with one another in the primeval days where such a rivalry would have to have originated.

Heck, in our world Gnomes and Kobolds get along extremely well, because Gnomes tend to like jewelry and gemstones and Kobolds are the master miners and smiths.

I use a smaller pillow for that for ages. Now I have problems falling asleep (well, problems greater than usual) if I don't have a pillow or something on my head.

I didn't even start drinking coffee until I was almost thirty and had to shovel snow for twenty hours straight and had to wake up at 1 to start shoveling.

I lived in Seattle for five years, didn't drink a single cup of coffee :-)

Awesome! I knew I liked you! :D

For I, too, am the annoying kind of "morning person"... for a very broad, very eclectic value of "morning"...

(In other words, when left to my own devices, I wake up... awake... and ready to go after about six to seven hours - though generally with a decent idea of what was going on around me for the last hour or so -, and even if I don't get "enough" or "in the proper time" I'm often fairly chipper to start. Except today. Today I was not chipper to start. :/)

I'm also a second wind person, you know when you're two hours away from work ending and all you wanna do is go home and have a nap and that one guy is all happy and chipper "c'mon guys we're almost done! Just a couple more hours! We can do this!!"

That's me :-)


AWESOME! :D

I can't see you as grouchy. Then again, you ecstatically happy is the same face as you unhappy.

For my own part, I can explain Karnax's lack of hate for gnomes.

He honestly believes himself to be a dragon, and thus considers such rivalries beneath him.

That said, the GM also seemed to imply that the whole "Kobolds vs Gnomes" thing isn't even super prevalent in all places.


Can somebody clarify the Slashing Grace errata for me? So now we can use any light or one-handed weapon with it, but we can't dual wield/flurry with it?


7 people marked this as a favorite.

Various nonsense to keep in tune with the current meanderings:

  • When I was a teenager I slept in until 10 or 11 am. Then I started helping my friend with a paper route, and started seriously backpacking for 4+ weeks every summer. Ever since then, I have woken with the sun, no matter how late I'm up the night before. My wife gets very concerned about me if we're up "late" (past 11) 2-3 nights in a row, because I'm up at 5:30 or 6:00 am the next morning. I have no ability to sleep in whatsoever.

  • The moment I'm awake, I'm fully cognizant, active, and doing things. THIS drives people more nuts than anything else! "You woke up 30 seconds ago! How can you be telling me what we have scheduled for the day already!?!??! Go away!!!"

  • One of my father's favorite quotes was, "A mathematician is a machine for converting coffee into equations." I took great delight in being a "perpetual motion machine", as I did not drink coffee throughout college and grad school, or even as a math professor. Then came my first tech job. Damn you, unnamed company! We had students coming in who were paying $1000+ a day for our training. So they got free stuff. Including coffee from a rather interesting coffee machine that made half-assed coffee, but the most divine mochas I've ever had the privilege of drinking. So of course, as a pick-me-up before getting in front of 24 engineers and teaching them how to program real-time operating systems, I'd have a mocha. As time went on, I became more and more addicted, until I was drinking real live coffee at home. And now I can't get by without 16-20 ounces of straight-up strong black coffee in the morning. I call it "Freehold Coffee". I suppose it must be "strong black handsome coffee"...

    Yep, this is the one that bugs me. It takes me at least 20 minutes to go from sleeping to capable of doing anything other than staring straight forward or fumbling around in the shower/bedroom/desk.

    Even then, I'm only really cognizant enough to get to work without a traffic accident and to manage the first couple of hours of work. If you want actual conversation out of me don't bother trying until ten at the earliest. Earlier than that and you just get grunts and mumbling.

    That is kind of the other thing though. My morning capacity has been significantly reduced over the past year due to the severe reduction in caffeine intake at doctor's orders. Back when I had a heavier soda intake I would wake up a bit quicker.

    At least you live a few hundred miles down the coast from them, I'm 2,000 miles away :-)

    I figured it out tho, it takes exactly a week from when they ship it, can't wait until winter tho, then I suspect it'll take forever to get here :-)
