Hero academia gets better the more you watch its very dynamic.
Also captain N I think is another example of the suckd in thing. Jumaji being the board game version of that.
The boards are being very finicky tonight.
As are my cloths.
Aye. I actually fought Tiamet with my longest running character back in 1st edition we killed two heads before she beat us. Its ok though we agreed to work for her in exchange for out lifes and wealth. The fact that our party leader managed to negotiate wealth as well was a true credit to him.

I think how housework is divided is a key issue. If I had to clean up the house all the time(mind you, I’m messy as fk), I would get pissed off too. That’s because each person should be pulling their own weight(unless they physically cannot do the chores).
As for tea, I drink tea without sugar now. I never drank with much sugar to begin with, and NH I get where you’re coming from when you say pure fruit juice is too sweet. I haven’t reached that level of enlightenment, but buying icecream from mc donalds is too sweet for me now. I’ve even been drinking my soya bean drinks without sugar.
Limeylongears – did you lose your teeth because your suspenders snapped?
Sword art online is a bit too dark for my taste. I mean getting killed for real because your MMORPG form died? Eeepers!
I did watch a bit of log horizon in the past though. Slightly similar.

(Venger was Dungeon Master's son, and DM's daughter was also in there as a villain).
That speaks volumes of the DM's secret regret in becoming a parent. You name your children as the penultimate face of evil in a fictional universe.

That's how I'm feeling about Robert Jordan when I read wheel of time. I'm pretty sure he imagined marriage as a trap that women evilly tricked you into and they were so good at the trickery that even you believed you wanted it. That or my theory that Loial is an embodiment of the writer is all wrong.

Thankfully not - it was the attachment on the back that broke, so I didn't get smacked in the teeth.

I love the Isekai (Other World) theme. Overlord, Re:Zero, SOA, No Game No Life, KonoSuba, Log Horizon, among many others. I love the lot of them, the idea of being transported to another world where magic and fantasy are real. Though I'd much rather be in the worlds of Log Horizon or KonoSuba than those of SOA or Re:Zero, for instance. As Mort says, some of them can get dark, which is fun to watch, but I wouldn't want them to be my fate. :P
This week has been a tad unproductive. Then again, whiskey and movies didn't go as well as I had hoped when I forgot how much alcohol I can tolerate before everything starts to get confusing and nauseating.

Well I finished Skyward. I need the next one now and like the next one from his other 3 serieses.
Going to get a fancy picture taken today for the company website!
Really!?!
And what website would this be for?

Unrelated to the current conversations, I have discovered my all time favorite Pathfinder archetype.
Living Grimoire (Inquisitor), from Horror Adventures.
That's not the one that eats books is it?
Nope, it's the one that uses their book as a weapon.
The Tome Eater is an Occultist Archetype.
Ah ok I like the ones that use books and paper as weapons like the scroll master (even if it isn't exactly optimal). Reminds me of the anime Read or die.
I miss larping. Its been forever since I've gotten to beat someone over the head with a foam sword.

I pity the fool that thinks they know how to cook when they don't.At the end of the day as long as your not working in a restaurant as long as you like it its all good.
One of these days you'll say "You're" instead of "Your".
More to the point, it wasn't meant for you, just poor delivery on my part.
I'm positive You're a great chef.
Now, to work on your grammar...
There their and they're are the hard ones for me. mostly the there and their cause I get that they're is they are.

One day I will get it down. Wasn't taking it as an insult I actually thought you were talking about yourself so I was saying as long as you like what you cook you're (ok fixed it) golden.
"You're golden" if it's in the context of another person its always "you're".

"You are golden" that's how I need to think about it.
Sigh 30 minutes late and its my manager who is suppose to be taking over for me. Not that I have ever been late but I dare them to ever say anything about it If I do come in late.
I'll use this time to check on applications. That seems fitting.
Small school life! The two electives I have this semester, the two I was planning to build most heavily around class discussions, have two people in each.
Nope, it's the one that uses their book as a weapon.

Well, now we know how to build the Archmage from Gargoyles.

I can't comment on author avatar as I don't remember that character.
But yes, Jordan definitely seemed to have a lot of general issues with gender. He definitely seemed to subscribe to the idea that men and women are irreconcilably different on a psychological level, and that neither could fully ever understand the other.
Probably contributed at least in part to my frustration with the series and the way he wrote most of his characters - if it wasn't Mat or Perrin, they generally ticked me off, or were annoying at best.
Hey Cover Turtle, sorry about your stress and depression. If you need someone to talk to, I'm all ears. I went through a really bad patch for quite a while, and getting to the other side was heavily influenced by great FaWtL folks on my side.
*Nods*
I'll consider it...thanks for the offer.
Turtle needs a good wax. I know just the kind of wax to use too. (come on take a guess.)
Yea…
I could use a good 'waxing'...probably not the kind you're thinking of though ^^'Going to get a fancy picture taken today for the company website!

I kind of want to go back a couple years and shake whomever gave these kids such a phobia of writing.
One page. About a silly prompt that I told them to just go nuts on. You'd think I demanded they undergo unanesthetized surgery.
| 4 people marked this as a favorite. |
Writing prompt: "Describe what life would be like if cellphones had never been invented." Told them to be as positive or as negative as they liked. Write an opinion piece or a story, whichever they preferred. Just focus on clarity and logical flow.
It only took me three submissions to get to world domination.
... Now I'm morbidly curious.
Wow. I have a surprising number of kids saying the world would be better without cell phones.

Actually, no. It's a lot about physical interaction, going outside, less distraction. I did not expect it from a generation that has never lived in a world without them.

Finished orientation today. Training starts at 630am tomorrow. Took my meds early to PTFO by 9.
I got a company phone. It's a freaking flip phone. I feel like I traveled back in time. Hilarious.
Wish me luck and keep me in your prayers for those who believe in luck or prayers. First time back to work in almost five months. Am trying to not be anxious. Am trying to remember the worst that can happen is I'm back to where I was before. Am trying to not lose my s&+@.
Oh and it was a beautiful 64 today...squall tonight and drop to 30s/20s tomorrow. So...hope the company van heater works!

Phones…eh I’m never without my phone. I think it cuts both ways. It’s always nice to have on demand entertainment without having to lug a big heavy book around, especially in a crowded MRT, or during slow times in the office. Yes, I can read on phone, but I (think?) I still prefer the physical book because the feel is different. But phones (and PBPs) can be rather distracting when you just want to be alone outside enjoying the great outdoors, because you feel a responsibility to check your phone and keep plot moving. Sometimes to the point that you piss off people in RL because it was your lunch appointment/or end up late for RL stuff because you spent too much time looking at your phone(being a passable runner is sort of helpful when you’re running late – if you need to cut travel times, just run like the hounds of hell are after you).
I find myself sometimes waking up earlier in the morning to see if things moved/anything I need to respond to etc. I think maybe my sense of responsibility can be a curse at times. I used to be perfectly punctual but you see if you see something that you need to respond to in PBP land, you feel bad because people are waiting for your response, but again when you respond, you screw up your RL timings, and get people in RL pissed off at you instead. Sure, you could wake up earlier to check your phone, but the time required to respond to each post is not an arbitrary number so it could take longer then expected and is really hard to estimate. Once I started a PBP conversation that took several hours to actually complete.
So to be honest I really have no idea if the phone is a boon or a bane. I think it is both. It shackles you, but also sets you free.
Good luck, VE on your job.

Kindle here, but I can get them on my phone if I want to.
I haven't bought a physical book new in years. Old books, from the used bookstore, sure. But new releases? Nope, Kindle.

Again running in inappropriate gear resulted in the following:
I busted a pair of office shoes (once) – now I try to change into my running shoes before I do any crazy zipping. (I don’t care if I look ridiculous)
It’s not easy to run while carrying all my office gear(the weight really adds up – it’s also not properly balanced)
It’s not easy to get into proper running technique on difficult terrain(i.e sand), or while carrying my office gear.
It can be tricky running in a dress(though most of my dresses allow freedom of movement).
And honestly at the end of the day I’m not really that good a runner, I just have more willpower then the next fellow. Take out my ability get into proper running form and breathing technique and I’m like drained down to normal. What would have been easy unencumbered becomes quite a pain while in the wrong gear.

Loial was the Ogre or I guess its ogire? spelled something like that. He was one of the more likable characters.
Clocking out soon. Good night, everyone.
And yes I am swapped in for John now.
