Does anyone else find it odd that you can drink a drink but not food a food?...
Wouldn't that be leftovers, I can't tell you how many times I've taken something I made one night and then turned into something else entirely the next.

Why doesn't the main character in a first-person game ever blink?Play SCP: Containment Breach. Your character does blink, you even have a countdown timer until your next blink and a button to make yourself blink early or hold down to keep your eyes shut, and it has mechanical consequences, as there are several monsters in the game that react in different ways to being observed/not being observed.
that sounds freaking awesome. Thanks Ill check that out.

I think Freehold hates Far Cry too, or maybe first person shooters, but it doesn't make sense if he's into mech, and mech warrior is FPS.Er... either you've been drinking again or I have NO idea what you're so happy about...Oh, gods. Not Far Cry 5 references! Everyone is loving it: The kids, Shiro, Shiro's son, NobodysWife.

I try to play it a bit just to make a little progress so when people want me to play with them I can, but I consider it the most unfun game I've been stuck playing in quite a while.

I WANT BATS IN THE SUN PICSOh NH, when you next see Hi, ask him about a description of me. Say I gave permission(which I am officially doing now). Then you’ll get to know how I look like lol :P And yeah I’d want to see your reaction ;)
It’s quite funny meeting people from online the first time they’ll say, what? I never imagined you’d look like that…
LOL. Knowing Hi, I figure I'm going to see about 38 photos of you in various states of surprise. Hi loves his camera.
He's due back on the 3rd, but we're off to Bats in the Sun 'til the 6th, so we'll probably have a big get-together the weekend of the 12th-13th. I figure Rivoli, Sobo, and slides. Life will be Good.
They will absolutely be posted... but probably on Google Drive this time. Flickr just got acquired, and at least Google is the Evil I Know.
Unless someone knows another free photo-sharing site that isn't named PornHub.
well, there's pornh- oh wait, nm.

SmugMug, who just bought Flickr, is supposedly a well-respected company with semi-pro and professional photographers (at least from my digging so far). They have to better at running Flickr than Yahoo at any rate.I WANT BATS IN THE SUN PICSThey will absolutely be posted... but probably on Google Drive this time.

Ah, that's good to hear. Yeah; my whole plan was to drop Flickr because its user interface was pretty much the worst imaginable, and another chaperone created a shared folder on Google Drive that worked well. But Imgur's a good potential alternative.
I'll see which I like better...

Fps's aren't my favorite either, but its neither something I dislike (that would be sports games)
Doesn't mean I'm any good at them though. In fact I'm, in most aspects, painfully mediocre, but I still play the battlefield games with my younger brother.
The Farcry games (minus the first since its plain weird) have mostly interested me for their heartwarmingly bleak story-lines (ie the closest thing to a "good-ending" is often not to play ^^')
No, my realm is more of the paradox grand strategy (Crusader kings, Europa Universalis, Hearts of Iron...etc) kind. In other words, give me an "interesting" historical period and I'll probably play it.
I also enjoy the various kind of Crpg's (from Might & Magic to Shadowrun returns to the Witcher...etc) again in other words, give me an interesting setting and I'll play it :P.

Might and magic is still too FPS that I jump when I turn around the corner and get jumped by monsters.
Did I tell you I make a horrible witcher? I'm so scared of the dark I need a certain lantern to get around.
That green lantern that let's you see the unseen. I use it for illumination
Torches get too disorientating in a fight and I'm super claustrophobic. Put me in an open space, I'm brave as a lion. Confined quarters=I'm so screwed.
Never learnt to parry and can only roll away from attacks, I don't know how to sidestep either.

no. It uses the rules for piloting a mech in universe, not a human body. Hence it is no more fps than ace combat(I look forward to 7).

Reasons NobodysHome Hates the iPhone
So, how can you possibly screw up an alarm clock? Well, let me tell you!
All I want is an alarm that vibrates the phone without sounding a tone. I get up at least an hour earlier than NobodysWife, so I want a simple vibrating phone that wakes me up, but not her. Apparently, this is beyond Apple's capability. In spite of Apple's own support site saying, "Just set Tone to None and select the vibration", if you set Tone to None then the alarm doesn't ring at all. If you set the phone to Mute, then the alarm tone goes at full volume (WTF, Apple? Do you NOT understand "Mute"?!?!?). The best I've accomplished is turning the volume all the way down, so that the tone is minimal. But every other phone I have ever owned has understood the need for a vibrate-only alarm. Why doesn't Apple?
I have more, but I figure 3 at a time will fill my days...

ANDROID.
Android system gets it. (Okay, I've only had HTC androids, not any other brand. So maybe this is HTC specific.)Provided, of course, that you get one with decent memory, because holy mackerel, do they ever pre-load them with a whole bunch of useless crap you don't want and cannot remove. You have to factor that your actual, usable memory is going to be about half of what they bill it as.
Less if you plan to install Chrome on it.
And the camera probably won't be as good.
But, boy howdy, is it cheaper.

I mean, I was alive when the wall came down, but I only beat that by about half a year.Woooooooow....
It happened when I was a sophomore in high school, so, of course, studying world history for the first time. Which was great, because I had a teacher who really tried to put everything into context.
And then the fall of apartheid happened that same year, and it felt like the whole world was going to be so much better... like things were really, finally, changing. (I was fourteen. It was an easy mistake to make.)
And then it turned out that things hadn't really changed, they'd just put on different clothes.

I was still in elementary school at the time, but I, too, thought these were signs of improvement. My idealism hasn't *quite* "left the building", but it does sadden me that 'better' turned out to be not.
Even so, life's alright! :)

that sounds freaking awesome. Thanks Ill check that out.Why doesn't the main character in a first-person game ever blink?Play SCP: Containment Breach. Your character does blink, you even have a countdown timer until your next blink and a button to make yourself blink early or hold down to keep your eyes shut, and it has mechanical consequences, as there are several monsters in the game that react in different ways to being observed/not being observed.
Some quick hints:
* 173 "The Statue" is the one you have to stare at. It looks like a concrete baby doll with a painted face. It works like a Boo from Mario, or a Weeping Angel from Doctor Who. If you break line of sight, it moves. If it catches you, you die.
* 096 "Shy Guy" is the opposite. It looks like a pale, gangly humanoid and is usually crying or screaming. If you see its face, it chases you until you die. Doors don't stop it. Close your eyes or look at the ground until you're past it or it leaves.
* 106 "The Old Man" you just have to run from. He looks like a dripping oil shadow. Half the time he'll kill you outright. The other half he teleports you to his private torture dimension. Getting him back in his cage is a big priority.
* 049 "Plague Doctor" is similar. Don't be fooled by his pleasant voice. If he touches you, you become a zombie.
* 939 "With Many Voices" you'll hear before you see, as a pained voice asking for help. You cannot help anyone. This is a lure. Avoid the voices as best you can.
* 682 "Invulnerable Reptile" .... Run. Just run.
