Possibly, and play the bluff. But once they conceded when the Mecha Cthun actually came out on the table.
Hmm maybe I should just go ahead and make it then. I wonder if it works for any other deck besides druid. Druid is the only one I have the gold portatit on I've been trying to branch out to other classes more.

Melatonin is kind of weird how it works. Its effect can vary greatly even taking the same amount etc. I think I remember the theory is their is another chemical it is reacting with and it can give varied results.
Quite possibly. It seems to make me feel my eyes tired but not really sleepy beyond that.

No no more details I don't need... I demand this be put in the same category as the cannibalism topic!.. Although it is hard to imagine a better way to die ... >.> maybe If I was also eating pizza at the time...like really good pizza...

If I'm up and doing things when the wave hits, my brain will simply power thru it, and I'll stay awake. Drowsy, but awake.
The speed at which the wave comes also depends on absorption: a lot of people with my condition (cystic fibrosis) absorb things very slowly, and so might wait hours to get drowsy.
That might be what is happening with me, though the effects were similar when I took one pill immediately before going to bed - it was when I had a rather annoyingly sore throat so it might be responsible for me not being able to sleep.

Last time I was on the dating scene the only people with cell phones were drug dealers and douche bags.
So alas, even if I wanted to I wouldn't be able to call or text massage any of my old girlfriends.
Last time I was on the dating scene cell phones hadn't been invented.

I had a friend in high school that got a pager at a pawn shop in Madison and was able to subtly press the button to make it go off so he could pretend people were paging him in front of girls to try to impress them.
He was surprisingly successful.

So, there's a reason old men get grumpy and sit on their porches.
It's Sunday, which means it's Farmer's Market down at the end of the block. Which means there are a bunch of kids running all over the street, because it's a very kid-friendly market, and so it's a big social event for a lot of parents around here.
As usual, our street, which is only 25' wide curb to curb is the major thoroughfare to the circle, as certain other residents who will remain nameless have vehemently objected to putting Stop signs or speed bumps on the 2-block, 800' stretch.
So every few weeks, I hear a car speeding along (you can kind of tell how fast they're going by the noise they're making), then hear it slam on its brakes and the driver lean on his or her horn. Usually it's because of people trying to parallel park on the narrow street. Sometimes it's because of kids.
But boy, oh, boy does it make me want to sit on my front porch with a radar gun and a pile of bricks.
Break the speed limit = brick through the windshield. Seems fair to me.

It is a concrete concept of "not having any" expressed with a singular symbol. Same thing with the word, "Nothing." Doesn't mean the word (or concept) doesn't exist, merely that we have encapsulated the concept with a specific word or formed expression.
Foop! Brain fixed.

Yet highway speeding is enforced maniacally, to the point of unwritten quotas for number of speeding tickets per month for state officers, as we discussed a few weeks ago. Because it's profitable.
On the other hand, if someone does 30 mph down any single-lane residential street (in my mind, that's a single lane in either direction, so technically 2 lanes total), I get pissed off. Kids, cats, jaywalking idiots, and other unexpected events happen all the time. I'd be perfectly happy if every single-lane residential street in the U.S. had radar-triggered spike strips that flattened the tires of anyone speeding there. Because speeding in residential neighborhoods does kill.
And yet that's the one that doesn't get enforced (at least in California), because the state takes all the money from the tickets so it's not worth the local officers' time to write tickets.
Grr...

And the mathematical breakthrough that allowed all of modern mathematics to progress was NOT the concept of 0, since it's been around since time immemorial; it was using zero as a placeholder to say, for example, "There are no tens in this number."

The play test is starting to grow on me.
I don't like that sleight of hand and disable device are both lumped in to a skill called "thievery" and definitely don't like how ancestry feats are done but otherwise I've liked the changes so far.
I like to call the skill, "Sleight" myself, because it's a much broader term for trickery, and can apply to acts of manual dexterity (hence "sleight of hand") or more nuance mental interaction (for complexities, like disabling devices), making rogues and those with such skill effectively more clever and skilled over-all, rather than exclusively "thieves." Unfortunately, it's also got the context of mildly insulting someone, but, eh, I could live with that.

Hah! True!
One of the actual mind-bending things, I find, is when we've had a concept forever but just have never gotten around to using it in a very (seemingly) obvious manner, and then, all of a sudden, *poof* it all gets revolutionized by what is, ultimately, a really simple change.

my grandmother used to use Xs instead of zeros in numbers sometimes. I used to correct her. She laughed and humored me, but she was very set in her ways.

Fantasy Races: Nyr Erain. I have been working on them for over a year. Similarity to Dead Cells is rather coincidental, though it did influenced some finishing touches...

I am annoyed not by naming but by the very fact of merging two very different skills - (1) mechanics and (2) nimble fingers into one.
I had disassembled and reassembled lock and some other devices, but in no way does that mean I could palm an object or reliably steal anything from another person. I can't even make a coin slide on my knuckles without dropping it.

The Avengers: Infinity Wars certainly was an orgiastic celebration of Joss Whedon, I hope he has it out of his system now and is ready to make an actual movie with the next one.
Terrible movie, what a waste of a talented cast.
that was a Whedon film? I thought he was done after Ultron?
Now it makes sense why I have not seen the film.

My family has been planning a family reunion on Facebook for Labor Day weekend, which I just found out about from my dad.
However, this year no agonizing over if we go, because they decided to have it in the town where I spent my teen years, which I solemnly vowed never to return to, so of course we're not going.

Hey, if it works, it works! She had the correct concept! I think you had the right approach: "So, the notation you're using works, but it's not what anyone else uses. Thus, not only will you not be able to show someone else what you're doing, but a lot of people are going to say what you're doing is wrong. How hard would it be to start using Os instead of Xs?"
She might not change, and that would be her choice, but at least she'd know it wasn't the way "most" people did it.

I know you've already mentioned why in the past, but I've forgotten.
Either way, I'm disappointed in a lack of power points, despite knowing that it wouldn't be a thing coming... it's just that they took so many of the names of some of my favorite effects in psionics and turned them into entirely different effects and tied it to Vancian-style casting; it's just kind of painful to read through.
I will say that the undercasting mechanic, what I've seen of it, it quite clever, and I like it, but, again, it's like a worse version of power-point style augmentation as what more or less feels like a slap-patch onto the rather frustrating Vancian system.
I also feel like the you know, nevermind. I've been GMing and forgot what I started out typing, and don't feel like continuing on this, anyway.
Short version, they seem brilliant, but for entirely personal reasons I can't really get around to playing them or deep-diving into the system. It's frustrating, but there you go.
But the Medium is probably the niftiest class I will never play without a substantial refluff.
