What'd I do?Time to update the blacklist, I see. So happy to be on Chrome.
EDIT: Ahhh, better. Nice how it works retroactively.
Soapboxing in FAWTL and treading dangerously close to breaking the no-politics rule, probably.
It's an amazing thing. Saves me so much grar.
Seconded. I wouldn't use the forums without it.

I love how kids inadvertently get you in trouble, a half hour I let Tiny T-Rex play Minecraft, while I took the dog out to pee and started the car to warm up.
Mom: what did you do today?
Tiny T-Rex: played Minecraft.
Mom: what else did you do?
Tiny T-Rex: nothing.
Mom: did you have breakfast first
Tiny T-Rex: nope, went straight to Minecraft
Mom: what about lunch?
Tiny T-Rex: Minecraft.
Mom: so, all you did was play Minecraft?
Tiny T-Rex: huh, I guess dad really dropped the ball here.

There is an awesome deal on Humble Bundle atm, if you like Civilization or XCOM. Check it out here.

I'm alright, actually.
I was reacting to Treppa's implication that she blocked me.

Hey!
It's like you're all alone on a beautiful beach...
A soft breeze is blowing...
Tiny white clouds float across a sapphire blue sky...
In the background, a crab plays the ukelele, and who's that accompanying him on a lap steel and singing a traditional Hawaiian love song? Why, it's Justin Beiber!

Did I already post about when Impus Major had his anaphylactic reaction to somethingorother and we went to the hospital? They had him breathing in Albuterol through a humidifier and he said, "I feel like I am smoking the weed."
It really did look very much like a hookah.
Unfortunately, apparently the State takes a very dim view of such things. The doctor said, "I'm very glad that I am hard of hearing. Because if you just said what I thought I heard, I would have to report it and your father would spend the night being interviewed by the police and Child Protective Services. Fortunately, I have a very bad memory and I forgot what we were just talking about..."
A nice stern-but-friendly warning that some topics cannot be joked about in some places...

I haz a cold. :(
Well, on the bright side, it's still pretty mild as colds go. My nose is getting quite sore, but otherwise I don't actually feel as awful as I sound. But I would still greatly prefer it if my nose would stop dripping like a leaky faucet. :)

Thanks for the feedback, both good stuff and bad. I'll definitely keep this in mind. :)** spoiler omitted **One of my very good friends grew up an army brat, and claims at least 4 different cities as "home", as they moved every year or two as he grew up.
He takes it as a badge of pride, and speaks fondly of all the travels. So he definitely considered it a good thing, and it didn't make him miserable; at least as far as he remembers.
On the down side, he's a bit of an odd, antisocial duck, and I think that might have something to do with not establishing long-term friends when he was young.
I'm the first friend he's ever had who's lasted more than 5 years, and we met when he was in his 30's...
So maybe when kidlet is visiting you once he hits around 5 or 6 (the age at which they actually start noticing other kids their age) see whether you can find him a couple of "steady" friends to play with.
We got -15 C just after the New Year this year. It lasted only a two or three days thankfully.

Bad hearing? Short-term memory loss? Perhaps it was too much TV in his case! :-P

It can get political, it just hasn't. I just said Walmart is being mean and I like my union job. I didn't say nothing about what the government should or shouldn't do in reaction to this.

I broke a brand new skid loader once, naturally I was sent in for the requisite urine analysis and breathalyzer. Myself, having a strict no driving after even one sip policy (I'm a small guy, it doesn't take much, I'd never had a breathalyzer, so I was peaking over, and the lady asked made a joke about if I was worried, I just laughed and said "I'm just glad it happened before lunch"

I'm out on the Aran Islands currently, home of Father Ted, and that's about it. :P It's nice in that I earn an extra paid leave day for coming out for work, but I'm trapped on the island overnight with my boss. So bored. Just finished work a bit ago, we usually work to 23:00 when we come out.

EDIT: Ninja'd by a dragon! Leaving this here, anyway.
actually no, there was a men in black graphic novel that was out before the film was in production, and the film was supposed to star Brad Pitt instead of will smith...Uh, okay, but that misses the point I was making with all those Will Smith movies (and, may I just say, that, nothing against Brad Pit, but I am super glad that MiB starred Will Smith? 'Cause I am).
And no, unless I'm getting my versions wrong(I may be), deadlands did the whole "different sided dice for different skills you suck/don't suck at" first. I may be getting editions wrong.Yes, but my point is that it's like comparing Craps and West End Games edition of Star Wars - just because they're all d6s doesn't mean the mechanics are similar.
Or, perhaps, making it more relevant: 2E D&D and Pathfinder are nothing alike, despite the fact that you have AC, saving throws, six ability scores, weapons that deal dice-based damage, hit points, ability checks, skill checks, DCs, spell levels, class levels, elves,
hobbitshalflings, gnomes, dwarves, magic missile, and so on and etc.And, from what I've seen from Deadlands, the Firefly RPG is vastly different. I mean, I don't own Deadlands, so I'm just going off Wikipedia, but:
Deadlands
- spellcasting (nope)
- action decks (nope)
- fate chips (analogous, but fundamentally different in use)
- bounties (nope)
- instant rewards (... sort of? They look very different, but have seemingly similar effects.)Firefly
- Plot Points
- Episodes (ooc-currency/exp as well as adventures)
- Act Structure
- Distinctions (and triggers) ((a surprisingly robust mechanic))
-- <This may be similar to Traits and Aptitudes, but... I'm not...
pah. Still too similar, even with the lack of magic.
Deadlands did it differently than Firefly. Firefly is closer to Savage Worlds, IIRC, but still quite different.
deadlands(possibly savage worlds too, I will check them out) still did it first.
Whedon (and even those only tangentally related to his works, it seems) have an issue with copypaste.

I played Robotech, I learned there, only the most filthy survived.
Also Agoraphobia exists for a reason.
But..but.. if I get out of the Destroid to pee, the Zentraedi will get me, just like all the others...
Yeah, Robotech encouraged a certain...style of play...that worked well with people of a certain maturity level, and not so well with others.

Wow...Freehold, this "I liked it before it was..." set of comments seems vaguely hipster. I've been in that boat, so I'm not saying you are one, but beware your phraseology, lest one day you end up with a bad hat, cheap t shirt and can of PBR wondering how it came to this.
Also, Firefly is a solid B, but I favorited cap's comment because I hate that people absolutely lose their s*** when you say it's anything but amazing, and so it's nice to see someone do so.
Solid B; quite entertaining, worth a watch, maybe two. Not phenomenal and worthy of b****ing about the cancellation of over a decade later.
no, I do this to everything whedon has done or ever will do. Just whedon though. I hate everyone else for different purposes.

God I am bad at this. Okay, 150 mbps is the router, it's the connection that's about 15 mbps at high signal strength (directly next to the router and modem, full bars), give or take. Best I can eke out of it is 18. And our router's two ethernet ports are both used up. One leads to the modem, one to a power supply (damned if I know why we need a power supply that hooks up to nothing) and then to a signal extender (which clearly isn't very powerful). The power supply has one ethernet in, one ethernet out, so pulling it won't help. This is one crappy internet hookup.

Anything with video takes, like, two minutes to load, if it loads at all. Tumblr tears the crap out of the connection.
