I'd like to think I'm Mr. Hyde in that scenario. Mort are you home now?(You might have said but I missed it if you did.)
So after a Long Hiatus (like 5 years) I'm finally getting back into minecraft and have already killed many many hours on it.
I figured. I imagine its probably easier being a nude kitty at home.
Crack whips eh? so you are in fact cat woman then?
How did she get that anyways? whats the canon? Only thing I can think of is her falling of a building and being resurrected by cats? didn't it having something to do with the Egyptian goddess Bast?

Morale of the story. be nice to cats and the might save your life and give you cat powers...
So does every old cat lady have super powers and we just don't know about it?
If I get super powers out of the deal I could handle owning a few cats.
From what You've told me Mort I don't know if I could afford feeding a mort kitty....
>.>..<.< hmm
What kind of super powers are we talking? Do I get claws like a cat or would I need to wear some sort of gloves? I'll just assume low light vision is in the package.

you just described godlike pretty well, most powers have a drawback, even truly powerful ones have a drawback of having just that one power, i.e. der flinger, null(there are a lot of nulls actually, it is the in universe explanation for why someone didnt just use their powers on hitler or macarthur), the invisible(?) polish guy whose name I cant remember or pronounce, etc.Sweet, is godlike a game or fiction? All I get from google is dictionary defs.
its a roleplaying game.
It is better read as fiction as the game system is a bit weird. Re read it last night and i found some interesting story flaws that were in actuality attempts to explain why Talents didnt just up and take over the world or cause WWII to end overnight. Some of them stretch belief(most truly powerful supers are taken out by artillery launched from miles away- awareness of an attack usually plays a role in most powers, most defensive/unaware powers are just that-defensive and often of questionable or situational use), but others are quite interesting and realistic(people have been living without powers for years just fine and are used to the world around them and even people with powers want to be a part of that world and follow laws, etc, people who go rogue[unless they are extremely powerful, and even then other Talents will team up to oppose them] usually find themselves without friends and family and often go mad in their loneliness).
Swapsies!
I only like will farrel in serious and semi serious roles where hes being more deadpan or doing dry comedy. Like I loves him as Alex Trebek in celebrity Jeopardy on SNL.
I actually tolerated him there.

What was that movie where he heard the voice of his writer in his head? That one wasn't to bad. Anything where hes just being goofy is quite annoying I can agree with you there.

Stranger than Fiction. One of my all-time favorites.
"I brought you flours."
Stranger than Fiction. One of my all-time favorites.

Yeah I liked that one. I kind of watched it in passing always meaning to go back and watch it start to finish but I saw the highlights and I liked what I saw.
I like Will Ferrell, especially when he was on the anniversary episode of Spongebob Squarepants.
And as George W Bush.
So after a Long Hiatus (like 5 years) I'm finally getting back into minecraft and have already killed many many hours on it.
My problem with playing Minecraft is it makes me want to go outside and actually build something.
Not familiar with Godlike, but I'm thinking less super-y than X-men, possibly even requirements and handicaps that come with the powers. Like a healing factor consumes body fat to work, so the regenerator gets super ravenous after healing. (Because soft-scfi conservation of energy.) The telepath literally loses herself in other peoples' minds if she spends too much time scanning/manipulating. (Because metaphor.) Etc.
Hmmm...
Okay.Could definitely work.
I'm one of those people who can't really decide on what flavour of supers I really prefer. On one hand I'm very much in favor of 'incredible powers, but with serious flaws' kind of supers...but on the other hand I find that the truly 'godlike' supers can serve as an interesting and ultimately alien perspective when contrasted with the 'ordinary'.
What leaves you scratching your head about Handmaid's Tale? I like it, but it's easily dismissible by most people -- even the worst kind of American who would glory in such a reality doesn't think it or anything like it will ever happen. "What does a Canadian know about American Christians, we would never let that happen...!"
Oh...
Hmmm...Different things:
The society and its laws in (The) Handmaid's Tale is clearly based on some sort of reading of biblical laws, yet is not really a theocracy, as its not ruled by a divine person or institution (per say).
So where is the church(s)? Have they been subsumed into the state? (My understanding of things...its been some time since I read the book) Do they even exist? (I honesty can't remember)
I find some of the stuff around the role of women is this society, somewhat confusing...or more precisely, I was initially a bit confused by whether women are allowed to hold jobs or not...
But I settled on the interpretation that while women couldn't hold a 'job' (individually representing their labour and putting it up for sale), but were still expected to 'work' their designated roles (econo-wives, jezebels or even handmaids).
I'm likewise skeptical about how the overall prosperity of such a society would fare if you simply pull women out of the workforce over a very short period of time...unless other shifts in population happen (they talk about infertility being a problem but how much?) to facilitate a better redistribution of the remaining wealth.
And for the infertility itself, I'm scratching my head for the solution as presented in the book. Now granted this could be a case of only seeing thing from the perspective of the absolute upper class of this new society. But if the infertility is really threating the overall population...where are the society-wide solutions?
I guess I'm saying that actually making 'kind of baby factories/colonies' would seem more (for the sever lack of a better term) "sensible"...
(An rpg - Polaris - actually played around with that idea)
'Everything goes wrong' is a tall order, and if you have ideas I'm all ears! :D I think tho I should have used a different descriptor than 'everything goes wrong.' Because that implies stuff like the Handmaid's Tale, and nuclear holocaust; what I actually have in mind is more subtle. Like interstellar travel gets invented -- no FTL or wormholes, because hard scifi -- and the...
Might be able to think of something…
Hmmm…All I can come up with on the spot is:
Further Sol-system space exploration (maybe the to the moons of Jupiter or Saturn) brings back life in its early microbial stages (somewhat different from ours…), which sparks a new competitive space race.
Unfortunately out of this microbial soup crawls a new disease, which sweeps through the terrisal eco-system infecting all manner of life.
This decimates all life, by killing of roughly 30% of ever single species and permanently scaring roughly the same amount.
The wealthy, high ranking government officials, their lackys and the intelligentsia panic, repurpose the bulging space programs to lunch sophisticated space-stations (or Luna/Mars bases) from which they now rule a devasted earth…still populated by the remnants left behind.
Back on earth occasional disease outbreaks still roam the planet, leaving a changed ecological system, that pressured into a sort of hyper-evolutionary mode, due to the disease, rapidly opening and closing biological niches and the introduction of 'a different strain of life' into it.
…Not a nekkid and non nekkid thing.

I've been thinking about the denizens of Fawtlburgh.
* Kjeldorn could run the stables
* Gran and Vid could be innkeepers, either rivals or partners.
* Nobody's Home would be a roving monk, honing his culinary skills at the inn(s) as part of a spiritual quest.
* Tacticslion could be a cleric, or cleric/monk
* LisaMarlene, given her fondness for doing Scottish pirate voices, could be skipper of the 'Osprey', a ship operating out of the town
* Captain Yesterday could be honorary head of the town militia, as well as being in charge of the town's fortifications and other infrastructure (day-to-day control of the militia would be in the hands of Sergeant TOZ, with Drejk taking care of the artillery)
* Lynora could run the post office
* Vankyre could be head of the Ironsmith's Guild
* Tequila Sunrise could be the town's free-thinking mayor
* Scintillae could be high priestess of the temple of our knowledge deity, which also acts as a library and school
* FreeholdDM could run a dancehall, which would also provide a safe space for ladies & gentlemen of the night to practice their trade, should they so wish.
* The Vagrant Erudite, with his ferrets, could be the local representative of the Thieves' Guild of Paizonia
* Just a Mort could be a shapechanger, and chief of the local druids' circle
* I could be either the town ranger, or a 'resting' mercenary presently running the town's dodgy school of swordplay.

Kjeldorn, did you want to make out with one of these?
Also, Freehold and Kjeldorn, do you have nude beaches near NY/Denmark? That's a good place to see figures, in fact even non nude beaches, someone should be wearing some thing revealing in the name of getting a tan.
I never understood the sexualization of cats in women, and the popular female tradition of turning a cat into some kind of hybrid woman cat that's hypersexualized for costume. In the words of Brian Posehn, roughly paraphrased because the bit is from years ago and I might be messing it up:
"Sex with cats isn't sexy to me. It just isn't. I mean if it were I could make that happen. I'm big, they're small, I know how to shut doors, they have no thumbs to open them.... What? I'm not saying I would. I'm just saying that's one way I know it isn't!"
But seriously...no. Just. No.
Yeah Michelle Pfeifer was sexy as Catwoman in the 90s, but I submit to ypu that you take away the cat thene but keep skin tight latex and a whip and she's still Michelle Pfeifer in her prime in skin tight latex with a whip!

I accept my role with enthusiasm. I'll run it like the Ankh-Morpork thieves guild, making unlicensed thieves regret it thoroughly. Crime will decrease overall as licensed thieves plunder to a yearly limit, depending on how much of a premium non-thieves pay.
Oh wait. I'm describing the insurance industry.

I think Kjeldorn has more druid then I do and I may be more akin to ranger then druid. Animals tolerate me at best. I don't step on their toes, they don't step on mine. I can't really get them to do anything for me, and my animal photography based on stealth, rather then handle animal.
But being a shapechanger is cool, I had some thoughts on turning into a Snow Leopard in the middle of the San Diego Zoo, or the Safari, but I bet it'd draw a major panic having a snow leopard appear next to all the kids, sitting on its haunches.

No [expletive redacted] boats for me. I'll run a tavern and serve good cheap food, rum drinks, and stuff. Also Cornish pasties available in the mornings for adventurers to take with them. There'll be bards aplenty and a few private rooms in the back with at least one named NPC who is a local "seeress" but is actually the link to the underground information network.

Trying not to hyperventilate while I wait to take a cake experiment out of the oven. It's the mother-in-law's 80th birthday, and she can't have sugar or other cane derivatives, gluten, or dairy. So I put together a bundt cake that is almond-flour based with coconut sugar and coconut milk, lemon juice, and blackberries. The batter tasted pretty good, but the almond flour gave it a sort of sandy texture. I'm nervous.

It must be annoying for you to still be dealing with that durned jet-lag, Mort…
Hmmm…Maybe a heavy night snack + a beer could make you sleepy?
(Yea I know that advice isn't really diet friendly ^^' )
or is it more a problem of resitting you're internal clock to Singapore time?...So you can sleep at the right times a day (and not for too long)?

* Kjeldorn could run the stables
Let me run a small still in the stables, do a bit of hunting/pest control on the sly and help the locals with caring for their livestock, and you've got yourself a deal Limey!
Kjeldorn, did you want to make out with one of these?
Lets see…
Female (check!), Corset (check!), Whip (check!), Possibly soul-sucking demon (check!)… (But really, most women checks off both the first and last part, am i right guys?!)Sure! Seems legit!
Also, Freehold and Kjeldorn, do you have nude beaches near NY/Denmark? That's a good place to see figures, in fact even non nude beaches, someone should be wearing some thing revealing in the name of getting a tan.
Well, we only have a few (clearly signed) nude beaches up here.
Simply because, it is legal to bathe nude at any public beach up here "as long as the (nude) bathers are not displaying any behaviour that may be deemed offensive or indecent and is causing aggrievement, or provoking, any other guest(s) at the public beach"(Sorry for the broken English! Danish legalise isn't always easily translatable - But the gist of it is that its a question about general public order, and not a question of (in)decency. Thus would the nude bathing cause public conflict or aggrievement then it may be prohibited, but as a rule if beach-goers respect each others privacy, give each over space and good faith, its permitted.)
it's just a woman with cat ears. And a tail. That's about it.
*Nods and gives Freehold a thumbs up*
Its a monster girl after all ^^

Super. You can supply LisaMarlene with bootleg rum. I'll have the ship, then.

Yup, precisely.
You're far more likely to get in trouble with the law for badgering or ogling the nudists, then being one.
Oh. I didn't realize ogling was an issue. I mean if people didn't want others to look, then why go nude?
Could you lie on the beach, nude, while looking at other nudists with the corner of your eye so it isn't too obvious?
Um, as a man, eventually it will become obvious. *ahem*
Oh. I didn't realize ogling was an issue. I mean if people didn't want others to look, then why go nude?
Honestly, I can't say what makes nudist go nude Mort, as I'm not one of them. Though I suspect its more of a 'being comfortable with your own body thing' then 'a need to show off your body' kind of thing.
Could you lie on the beach, nude, while looking at other nudists with the corner of your eye so it isn't too obvious?
You'd probably get away with it. No its more for the egregious kind of 'following your every move' kind of looking.
Heck ,you might even get away with a look up and down of someone, coupled with a appraising facial expression and a "nice" muttered.|

Nah my tummy is a little fat for that. But other then that I'm pretty shapely ;)
I know I can definitely oggle at girls if I so choose. Actually if I were caught in the act, I'd probably blurt out something like, Urm.. How did you get your tummy so flat, then ask for fitness tips, complaining that I've been working out at the gym all week.
And that's all true.
So I mentioned that we were going to have a celebrity staying with us. Turns out that is inaccurate its only that persons staff. I'm super relieved.
It was the Vice president (of the USA) BTW. Who was rumored but is not staying with us.
