Misanthropic is half of it for sure but its not what I was thinking of. I'll have to find it later. Its literally just the term they use to describe someone who has that weird confliction of both being disappointed and hopeful of humanity as a whole.
It's called "NobodysHome Syndrome".

I call it misanthropic Humanism.

This was a little shorter than I expected it to be, but I am putting it in a spoiler bubble, in case you want to skip over it.
Yep, put that in a spoiler bubble, kinda long and ranting.

I haven't really been in touch with the PF 3rd party scene for a while, so I don't really know what's out there, as good stuff to be inspired/swipe from.As for pain…
I'm in the wimpy end of the spectrum, by being somewhat pain and heat sensitive.Edit:
Eh think I might turn in early.
*sigh*
Feeling mopey, tired and lonely again today.Add me to the light-sensitive bunch.
During summer I walk around with a permanent squint...
>_<
+1. Thank the gods for clip-on sunglasses.
On that note, I did read somewhere years ago that light-sensitivity is often (though not universally) more prevalent in people with lighter eye colors - if you have grey, blue, or light green eyes, you're more likely to be sensitive to light than if you have dark green, hazel, or brown eyes.
Rather curious how many FAWTL'ers line up with this. I'm a grey-eye myself so it checks out for me at least.

Before I joined, the party resolved to bring the prime instigators of the Swallowtail Festival attack back to Sandpoint for trial. That means, Tsujuto, Lyrie, and Nuallia are being dragged back to Sandpoint in chains. The Mercenary, we let go. "Go enjoy your ale."We caught Tsujuto, he refused to talk. Lyrie and Vandescar we let them walk. Nualia we decided was too dangerous to let live so we just executed her. I had some vague fantasies of prosecuting people and goblins for war crimes under the Geneva conventions Art. 8(2)(a)(i) wilful killing of protected persons against Sandpoint, but that didnt happen.
Our group took Tsuto and Nualia alive; we were split between wanting to put him on trial for the death of Lonjiku and the kidnapping of Ameiko on one side and some kind of rehabilitation on the other, and her we were convinced she was either crazy or possessed and couldn't be 100% held accountable for her actions until a more capable person determined her lucidity.
I think we also took Lyrie alive, but it's been a long time so I don't remember. I do know we killed Vancaskerkin and the bugbear, as well as most of the goblins except the wives and infants.
And Malfeshnekor, of course. No way that one was getting out alive.

On the one hand, it was an awesome story. Very deep, with an amazing insight into the nature of humanity. On the other hand, the game "play" was virtually nonexistent; you were just choosing from a set of available responses, and very occasionally playing a few button-mashing games. So I'd call it more of an "interactive book" than a "game".
And I'm afraid $60 for an "interactive book", even one that takes 20-30 hours to finish, is a bit steep.
Which one was your favorite story line? (no spoilers I hope?)
Edit: Although I disagree with literally everything he says, Mother's Basement has a negative review of it.LOL. You know, when the review starts off with, "I think the guy who made this game is the most unqualified hack in the industry today," you pretty much know you're going to be listening to a Freehold-level tirade about a Joss Whedon movie.
On the other hand, he's not wrong....

Someone also put a flyer advertising assault rifles in my brother's letter box.
Urgh I hate guns.
Fritzy, I'm sorry but that's how I feel about them.
Arizona is one of the biggest pro-gun (and other weapons) states in the country. It's one of the seven states where concealed carry is allowed without a permit, and one of the far larger majority of states where open carry is allowed; thirty-one of those states - Arizona being one of them - do not require a permit to carry a firearm openly. (By contrast, there are only five states - California, Florida, Illinois, New York, and South Carolina, plus the District of Columbia - where open carry is not allowed at all.)
The only surprising thing about this is that he hasn't gotten such an advertisement sooner.

So, trying to avoid turning this into a political tirade, but hoo boy am I sick and tired of pharmacies and their robocalls.
Every. Single. Day. "Hi! It's time to refill your prescription! Would you like to refill your prescription now? Just say, 'Yes' and we'll try to auto-charge the card you didn't give us and refill your prescription!"And they make it either impossible (a CVS support person said, "No; even employees get those robo-calls, and we hate them even more than you do, but we can't figure out how to stop them, either") or nigh-impossible (ExpressScripts) to stop.
And if you manage to get them to stop calling, heaven forfend you ever use them again. 'Cause suddenly you're a customer again and that auto-dial switch goes back on.
So they like to paint it as, "Americans are under-medicated because they frequently forget to renew their medications and go without, so we're performing a public service."
I call B.S. and walk away before the bikes arrive...
Weird, I feel the opposite in every way, but I also don't have near as annoying a process with mine.
Walgreens calls me when it's time to refill my prescriptions, as well as sends me an e-mail. Whichever I answer first, there's a simple "yes I would like to refill my prescription at this time" option or button. Once I select or click that, it gets sent to the pharmacy and I get another call when the prescription itself is ready for pickup. Then I pay for it at the pharmacy.
Nothing else, no attempt to charge my card over the phone, no further complications unless there's a reason the refill can't be processed, at which point they call me to say it can't be refilled at this time and send me an email with the specific reason why not.
Never had any problems with the system.
Maybe it's just Walgreens has better robots than CVS and ExpressScripts.

We'll manage. They're only temporary anyway.

that's similar to halflings in my campaign setting.
Gnomes died long ago to the best of everyone's knowledge.

My NWN gnome Fighter/Weapon Master/Stalwart Defender likes to climb up monsters so she can reach their faces, spot-welds new pieces of metal she finds onto her armor after etching a piece of the story of her journey onto it, collects rocks from each new place she visits and talks to them, collects short swords (her Weapon of Choice for WM) and talks to them as well, uses gears as shuriken, bottles smoke from various industrial or mechanized devices for later ingestion, and has a healthy distrust of birds because she believes the royal/military wizards are using them as spies.

Weird, I don't think I've ever gotten a guns flyer. Or maybe I have gotten one or two, but chucked 'em without thinking about it.
I recently looked up gun laws here, and yeah, there basically are none -- only the meager restrictions of federal law. I don't know if gun culture here is more pervasive here than in other states -- a friend in NY from high school has a trove of both modern and antique guns, and I don't think he's particularly unusual -- but it's certainly got the better of state law.

Aiymi plays gnomes exceedingly well. Childlike. Randomly rolls dice to pick what class she's going to take at each level up, but tailored towards things she found fascinating during the last level.
I like the cut of her jib. I always randomly roll everything for my characters during character creation and have dice just for that.

When I play gnomes I try to think of how I'd behave if I was on a sugar high. All the time. Like try to speak really really quickly in a high pitched voice that annoys the crap out of the entire table.
But honestly I'm a rather serious cat(though I have a whimsical/warped sense of humor) so...can't really hold it for long.
