We have made it exactly two (!) days without the cats knocking down the Christmas tree! Woo! New record!
And I made pillow shams that look like presents. They are adorable on the sofa and add to the general festiveness of the living room. :)
Not very futuristic I must admit. Eh, you've gotta have primitive folks around to impress with your sweet futuristic selves. What's the point if there's no one to be awed? ;P

Fair point about turn based, but there isn't any button mashing, as I said in the other post I just do it cause I want to.
And seperate XP for levels and skills? Do you mean classes' ability points?
This one so far I've seen XP for leveling, and skills tree for various things.

Apparently, in the future, I don't exist.
We've been successfully getting deliveries at this address for 14 years now, from pretty much every service you can think of: FedEx, DHL, UPS, USPS, Saia, etc.
So imagine my surprise when I was notified that USPS couldn't deliver part of Impus Major's Christmas present because our address doesn't actually exist.
What's awesome is going to the USPS tracking site and seeing it right there: The address is correct, the ZIP code is correct, but we don't exist.
Forgive me, but the future SUCKS...

that may be because you are floating in a cylinder full of sparkly liquid and I have replaced you.

Does it mean brain-powered airships and no trousers for anyone?
If so, COUNT ME IN!
You could always wear a skirt if they get your trousers.

They are called Kilts, not skirts. Get it right.

So... like the earlier FFs, then?
(Also, Lulu really didn't make that game in good, in particular.)

To some extent, the ATB was "more" button-mashing than "traditional" turn-based system - you had to beat your opponent, and if you just hung around instead of rapidly navigating the system, you'd get hit before you could do the same.
Though I greatly prefer FFT's actual turn-based system, the ATB was clearly a precursor to the more "active" battle systems.

It has been three days without the cats knocking down the Christmas tree! Another new record! :)
Starting to entertain the faintest glimmer of hope that this tree might last more than one year. It is more substantial than the trees I usually buy. But there's still a lot of December left for the kitties to dash that hope along with the tree, so I am not yet entertaining actual optimism.

And NobodysHome has a Blue Apron epiphany!
I was looking at tonight's recipe (a fairly standard spaghetti and meatballs) and, having a teensy bit of experience (the first dish I ever cooked, so *only* 38 years of practice), I recognized the entire issue: Everywhere I would add red wine, Blue Apron adds water.
I checked the other recipes.
Sure enough, the "bad", flavorless recipes are ones where I'd be using white wine (fish), sherry (chicken), port (pork), or red wine (beef), and they use water instead.
I don't know whether it's a legal thing or what (I suspect there are all kinds of laws restricting shipments of alcohol), but they really need to add red and white wine to their lists of stuff you need at home. (Above and beyond olive oil, salt, and pepper.)
I happen to have a cheap bottle of red I don't mind cooking with just lying around. I'm going to try doing my final Blue Apron meal replacing every mention of the word "water" with "red wine" and I'll let you know how it does.
(OK, I'm lying. I'll still cook the pasta in water. But otherwise...)

gran rey's totally un-helpful advice on keeping cats from destroying the Christmas tree: Get rid of the cats.
You are welcome for this un-helpful advice.
I am now requesting that Paizo provide a thumbs-down service just for this one post.
EDIT: Yes, I'm a man who has said, "I'd rather have cats than nice furniture", so I may be biased...
