I pretty much learned to read with Calvin and Hobbes actually. :)
If I ever went to Florida my Seattle Freeze could melt, and I'd enter a coma.
I can stop whenever I want.The problem is we're trying to write something with a fairly serious tone, and her addiction makes her keep dropping terrible puns.Mostly, it involves a lot of taking all the fun out of it by shooting down my awesome jokes.Sneak them in when you run the game. Like little laughter bombs. ... I just don't want to
I try and do Sandbox 'do whatever you want' so I have no expectation of seriousness from my players.
How many boards would the Mongol hordes hoard if the Mongol hordes hoarded boards?
Nah, Seattle formal has an optional beanie. Does a number to my curly hair though, so I go without it.
I have disproportionately long legs which makes finding pants fun. I normally go with jeans to match my flannel for a 'Seattle Formal'.
Am I going crazy or are lawn roombas supposed to be a thing?
Out of all the people you travel with, who smells the worst?
I'm running World of Darkness for some friends. While inadvertently smuggling a dead body, they are pulled over by a cop, and decide to telekinetically pants him before entering combat. I'm mostly proud.
I actually saw the movie for the first time the other day and... Wow that was bad.
*yeet*
Well we assume because there's no reason not to. Perhaps we could learn evidence in the future. That said, we can never technically confidently prove anything. I have a similar confidence in the existence of the forum as I am that unicorns aren't real. Nah, the bigger thing that bothers me is the neuroscience indicating we have no free will and consciousness is just an illusion.
Our scientists were so busy asking if they could build a cybernetic Monkey Santa, they never asked if they should.
Has science gone too far? Or not far enough?
I thought Monkey Santa served no lesser primate.
What are one to three books that have influenced your life? Hmm... When I was a toddler I grew up hearing English, Spanish, and Danish simultaneously. It was very confusing and unlike my sister I couldn't handle of it, so when I was around five I focused on just English. The following books are the ones I remember reading enthusiastically and helped me with my English. - Harry Potter (Earliest novels I can remember reading. It's been so long but I recall enjoying it) - Skullduggery Pleasant (A series my sister got me hooked on. It's fantasy but less childish than most YA novels. It's also written with remarkable wit and originality. These are the first long books I can remember reading) - Phantom of the Opera. (I read this a couple times. Way back in Elementary school I tried it because I liked the Musical and couldn't understand anything. I've reread it a couple times and it's been a good benchmark for how much I've learned and improved. This got me interested in old books, like stuff by Victor Hugo, but I segued this into great sci fi ones like H.G. Wells, Aldous Huxley, and Isaac Aasimov) What purchase of $100 or less has most positively impacted your life in the last six months (or in recent memory)? My readers love specifics like brand and model, where you found it, etc. I had a smoothie yesterday with a friend on campus. I had a rough week, and spending positive time with another person, and relaxing without worry for just 20 minutes really made a difference. How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success? Do you have a “favorite failure” of yours? My high school GPA honor roll got ruined by a low score in a ceramics class I had. I decided to accept stuff like that, and not let it bother me too much. If you could have a gigantic billboard anywhere with anything on it — metaphorically speaking, getting a message out to millions or billions — what would it say and why? It could be a few words or a paragraph. If there's something you really want to do, it's usually as simple as doing it. It can still be ridiculously hard, but you need to self-start. Motivation from others doesn't really help if you don't act on it. What is one of the best or most worthwhile investments you’ve ever made? A literal razor blade. Infinitely more comfortable and effective than the electric one I was using before. What is an unusual habit or an absurd thing that you love? I really like pickles with chile powder. In the last five years, what new belief, behavior, or habit has most improved your life? I don't most most, but I picked up guitar again and I'm loving it. It's a part of my brain I haven't used in a while and it's very satisfying. [I'm going to skip 8 and 9 because I'm the type of naive college student that should take this advice rather than give it.] In the last five years, what have you become better at saying no to (distractions, invitations, etc.)? What new realizations and/or approaches helped? Any other tips? I'm gonna cheat and say I got better at saying yes to things. I've been always been anxious and nervous about pretty much everything, but now I'm getting better with being more social, asking for help, and being kinder. I suppose it's a 'Practice makes Perfect' kind of deal. When you feel overwhelmed or unfocused, or have lost your focus temporarily, what do you do? I walk and think. I try to keep doing this until my heart rates goes down and I'm calm. Then I make myself at peace, and try to solve my problem accepting what happens with the understanding I'll try my best.
I mentioned I'm in Uni right? I'm exhausted from a calculus final today. I don't think I did too bad. I'm starting to forget what my purpose in life is beyond solving integrals.
When strong characters in fiction throw their enemy across a room. If you are super strong against someone weaker, just grappling or doing a bear hug to choke them out and restrict their movement is much smarter and more intuitive. If you just throw them across the room then they can move around. I suppose against regular humans they wouldn't get back up, but it still seems unnecessary. I actually really like Fisk's fight choreography in Daredevil. In one scene he picks someone up, hugs them tight, and rams them into a wall, immobilizing them.
I started playing World of Darkness, and the flexibility is similarly fun. I like that you can make up any check on the spot pretty easily. I'm also very comfortable letting the players decide what happens. Including when they decide to drink blood from a dead vampire... Which if you're familiar with World of Darkness leads to shenanigans.
Seattle is getting a lot of sunshine, so I'm wearing sunglasses for my sheltered and unprepared eyes. I've been trying to dress for Spring despite the cold to trick myself into thinking it's warm, but that isn't working too well.
My enjoyment of the experience is wrapped up in anxiety that other people aren't having fun. So the biggest thing that bothers me is when someone is bored, because I generally view myself as culpable. It's why I've decided to only game with people enthusiastic about RPGs. I can do other things with other friends.
I consistently bribe my dog with treats in the morning so he didn't panic about me leaving.
Math has just been a problem for me for many years. I just don't have the type of mind for it. I barely made it through Algebra II and Geometry in high school and never took any math in college. I never graduated either, but while I was there I avoided it like the plague. I study statistics, so when I tell that to people they think that must mean I really like calculus. I don't... It's a necessary evil
That is an interesting question. Would the lines at hell be efficient?
No problem. Artsy mutilation over the regular kind any day. Can't wait!
I didn't get my drivers license until I was 23.27 here. (I'm currently 33.) Not really an embarrassment, though. I had no need nor desire previously. I'm 16 but hated my lessons and driving is just incredibly stressful for me. But I live in Seattle and my school pays for my bus fare so I manage pretty well.
You really ought to ponder the ramifications of this event. On hindsight, pointing out a couple mallards on the pond by shouting 'DUCK!' could have been misleading.
Yeah Bugbears are all the rage.
Sometimes being a hero requires only you know you're right. It's a burden I have to endure.
I'm annoyed by my phone showing me photos from a year ago. It's normally fine, but in this particular instance I got a reminder that a year ago I accidentally kicked a friend into a pond.
I mean it's slightly more valid than "a pie cut in 8 pieces is less calories than just eating the pie"
I tend to think the avatar can have an impact on what your saying. It for sure gets brought up from time to time. This one gets me beard jokes for example.I thought it was just a really wrinkly chin... They're a popular look. Hobgoblin fashion is really catching on.
I've heard people claim that drinking cold water is 'negative calories' but I'm skeptical. As for burgers, I always like to put avocado. Yum!
I always wonder how people can stay with one avatar their entire time here. I mean, it's a little hard to pull off MageHunter with an avatar of a brownie.
I always wonder how people can stay with one avatar their entire time here. Well there's always aliases.
Huh. Well if the world's ending I should at least finish the Expanse.
Please may we have stats for Monkey Santa.Sorry, no. Monkey Santa’s like a Pathfinder deity—no stats. He’s what you might call ‘plot critical’. I shudder to think of the cat's power.
A friend of mine is taking a Color Theory class, and she insisted that the color purple isn't real. Why is this world!?
Still a bit of snow but it's melting and actually not too cold. Stomping on fading snow makes me feel very powerful.
I've recently been on an ottoman kicking spree that's surprisingly satisfying
What's important is that your alias diverges from your actual profile.
Aren't you supposed to be buried in snow right now? Who let you out? I made a deal with Mephistopheles to burn it away. Now I just need to pay my debt with the souls of three forumites.
Easy... O-Cayenne? I'm not proud of that...
If I don't make it, curse the snow for claiming me. *Shiver* Check the -- *Freezes*
His memory of Heaven is more intact than Roy right?
He's got gloves at least. And he could borrow Roy's belt...
I don't know my items really well. I'm too attracted to gritty bare bones characters... Interesting to see though the direct myth to game connection. I actually... Really like that.
Now that I think about it the fight scene with the Drunken Boxer was fun to watch.
