Fall is my favorite time of year. Always has been, but especially up in Ohio.

...so when will it show up? It is f+$*ing hot out.

*SIGH*. On our roadmap call, and the presenter just threw out one of those comments that depresses me: "Just like you can never have too much money or a car that can go too fast..."

Er, yes, yes you can.

And that makes me an alien.

EDIT: For the record, I've pegged "enough money to live comfortably for the rest of my life" at $10 million. Any more than that and I'd just start giving it all away because I'd have no use for it.

And yeah, you can have too fast of a car. And this is me talking. If all you've ever driven are sub-200hp cars, then getting into a 2005 Audi RS4 is going to see you go straight into a parked car or flying through the air. It had 420hp when new. In 6th gear at 60mph I floored it to see what the top gear acceleration was like. It pinned my head back to the headrest, and I was hitting 100mph in a *very* short amount of time. On a back road. No traffic. No small hills that resemble motocross ramps. No curves. Open sightlines. Still freaked me out a bit. I got used to it quickly, but my prior experience at that time was in the 250-350hp range. The difference was noticeable.

The new 2020 base Corvette comes with 495hp. The Mustang GT is 460hp these days. I beg people to ramp up their skills in cars that aren't that high of power, then move up a bit and do it again, and do that gradually before they purchase/lease/rent/borrow from a friend one of those beasts and wrap it around a tree just trying to take off from a 4-way stop.

Well, that *and* I try to be environmentally responsible. The very first car I bought (the Celica) had to get at least 30 mph. The second (the Echo) had to get 40. The third (the Prius) had to get 50. The next car I buy will be all-electric with my solar-powered charging station.

I suppose this could be considered mildly political:
I've never understood the appeal of owning a muscle car, a massive pickup, a pistol, or anything else that is basically an, "I'm buying this to satisfy my deep-seated hind reptile brain's urges in spite of it being a foolish purchase" thing.

But as I've seen, I'm a strongly Type II thinker -- "What are the repercussions of this, and how will I use it?" Makes me desire very, very little. Add a strong sense of social responsibility and I'm just not a very good consumer.

I waste all my money on the services industry. But at least that way my money's going directly to local people, instead of across the seas...

And speaking of consumerism, my post from yesterday morning is really coming home to roost: Impus Minor wants an electric skateboard for commuting around Albany to socialize with his friends. It makes some sense; more portable and faster than a bicycle, significantly faster than walking, and enough charge to make it to and from his friends' houses easily.

He knows I won't buy him one, but his $15/week allowance isn't going to get him one any time soon. So all he wants for Christmas is for all his friends and relatives to pitch in whatever they were planning on spending anyway towards a, "Get me an electric scooter" fund.

And thanks to the consumerism industry, asking for cash instead of concrete items is considered incorrigibly rude.

Er... why?

In the Midwest, that's seen as rewarding responsibility.

Would it have been the same reaction if you hadn't told them what the money would be going for? I know in my family it makes a world of difference.

It's weird when you finally see something and realize, "THAT is why I'm so much better at my job than my junior co-workers!"

I'm reviewing some content they developed, and the original content was a series of example scenarios and solutions: "Problem: You want to move the fridge into your bedroom. Solution: Get a dolly, dummy!" except in the software world. Every single one was done in the same format, with the same slides in the same order. It was all very nice and very easy to read.

The junior people had to put in two new scenarios. And they put them in in a random, jumbled order. "You can order a dolly from this interface. A dolly is made out of steel. A dolly has wheels. You might use a cart instead of a dolly. A dolly can be used to move furniture. For example, you might want to move the fridge into your bedroom."

So all this detailed information about dollys before you have any idea why the heck we're suddenly talking about them.

So the art of, "Look what's already there and match its style and flow" is beyond their ability at the moment.

Interesting...

I have an electric lawnmower. I have two batteries, and one will charge to 80-90% from a standard 110V wall plug in the time it takes me to drain the one in use, and the mower can handle an overgrown yard. Just takes more battery swaps.

I try to be environmentally more responsible where I can, but the realities of the Midwest limit what you can realistically get away with.

AT NEW YORK COMIC CON

Linux update: As usual, it was something stupid.

Linux comes with generic drivers for all your hardware. And even when proprietary drivers are available and part of the distribution, they won't even mention it to you because proprietary.

So after Googling my issue, I found that yes, indeed, you could go to Software Updates, go to video drivers, and explicitly select, "Use the proprietary drivers provided by Nvidia instead of our generic ones" and voila! My games started working.

But it's the usual frustration with the entire Linux crowd: "If we didn't write it, we don't want our users to know about it, even if it works better."

*sigh*.

EDIT: The *hard* part is going to be managing not to mention it to Shiro or GothBard until we play for an evening. Tonight is Strange Aeons (knock on wood), tomorrow's the Battle Beast concert (too hilarious: Kamelot is headlining and we're all talking about just staying for Battle Beast and then leaving, except Noora might do a cameo with Kamelot, which would be worth staying for), so maybe Saturday. How am I supposed to keep my mouth shut 'til Saturday?!?!!?

And speaking of "something stupid", Bitter Woman was at the corner store today, once again looking me up and down, then taking offense that I had moved away from my cart. She called me weird, then, when I didn't react, said it much louder.

And it doesn't make me angry, it makes me sad. What's it like to go through life so bitter that you have to lash out at anyone or anything different? Seems like a miserable way to go through existence.

I wonder whether she has any friends...

Kamelot...I saw them open for Nightwish in Chicago a few years back (can't remember the 2nd female singer's name - the one between Tarja and Floor - but it was back then). The sound quality at the venue was on the "not listenable" side for Kamelot. Drums were way too loud - overpowered the guitar work, the bass player may as well not have been on the stage at all, and the vocals could only be barely heard and in no way understood.

Kamelot's one of those bands that you immediately want to turn off the moment one of their songs comes on...
...unless they're performing with a guest artist, in which case they're amazing.

They're really one of the weirdest bands ever. How can you be SO bad when you're performing on your own, but SO good when performing with anyone else?

Gotta disagree. Kamelot's one of my favorites. Epica/Black Halo especially.

More seriously, I think my whole issue with her was her utter desire to make me acknowledge her disapproval.

She could have taken pictures of me, posted it on Facebook, said, "This man's horrible pants and shopping cart etiquette made me want to vomit," all of her friends would have liked her post, she would have felt vindicated, and I would have been unaffected.

Instead, she demanded to confront me. Even in Albany and Berkeley, that's eventually going to lead to violence. I honestly worry about her safety, even if she's just a bitter hateful old woman.

I guess that's just my Good showing. Most people would just shrug and say, "Meh. She'll get what she deserves."

The performance I was at would not allow me to form an opinion one way or another, because the sound was simply that bad.

However, when Nightwish came on, the sound was vastly improved.

At that time I was not a fan of either band - I was brought as a guest of a friend as reciprocity for taking her to a concert that was outside of her normal listening.

Well, I know it's a poor measure of taste, but Sabaton's been sold out for over a month; none of Impus Major's friends are joining us for the concert, except the one guy using Impus Minor's ticket.

We found out we didn't have Battle Beast tickets just last week and we were able to get them without issue.

(Yes, I feel so vehemently about scalpers that not only will I not use them, but if my friends try to use them I will refuse them transport to the concerts and otherwise do everything in my power to reinforce the basic concept of, "If nobody used them, such societal leeches would evaporate."

Have I mentioned how much I hate scalpers?)

EDIT: And just to clarify, "I can't make the concert so I'm selling my two tickets at face value," isn't scalping. "I used a team of low-wage workers to buy up 1000 tickets and I'm selling them at triple face value," is.

Writing, "Developer 1 has his or her own view of the application, while Developer 2 has a different view of his or her changes," gets really old, really fast.

But if I try to use "their", the editors jump all over me because it isn't "proper" English.

Named tickets.

And it brings funny moments too.

I might mentioned it before but some time ago our session was interrupted by my GM's roommate's panicked call.

Coplayer to me: what could be happening?!
Me: Hmmm, V. was supposed to go to a concert... Maybe he forgot the tickets?

And, lo, the blood of a folk witch doctor runs strong in my veins! For I was right.

Thanks to named tickets (and blessings of modern tech), my GM just had to photo the ticket and send the photo to his roommate (he needed either the number or the barcode) and he all was fine.

Oh, and the band playing?

That was Rammstain.

Yeah, imagine forgetting the tickets to Rammstain and not being able to listen to the concert. And IIRC it was in an another city (1 hour drive plus between 15-30 minutes going through our city, and back... well, there is a highway, so the former could be probably cut to 45 minutes, maybe even 30).

Funny they don't have problem with much more recent singular you...

Polish language is even worse at being gendered as every verb in past tense and some future tenses is inflected by the subject's gender. The singular neuter form is un-personal, and plural group is generally viewed badly because it was the form that was forced by communists (and even earlier was strong Russian imposition during the Partition period and is connected to attempts to eradicate Polish language) so it's a sort of grammatical no-no. There are modern attempt at creating personal neutral forms but they sound weird-ish to modern Polish ear (one could say they sound queer even...).

NH feels that consumerism (which, here, is the desire for material objects or goods) as a cultural element is a functional drain on society that has negatively impacted generosity.

From what I can tell, it is his posit that the idea of present-giving is, itself, rude (based on the premise that you often end up with things that you don't want that only clutter up your life).

Freehold DM wrote:

FH's thing is generally true in my culture as well.

The thing is, asking for money is seen as rude for a host of reasons. I don't agree that it's just consumerism that causes the issues - while that certainly influences it in some elements of culture, there's a whole host of things involving money that people find rude for legitimate historical reasons, that only sometimes (or only some of which) apply to more modern elements or times.

There's a lot of complex inter-connected cultural elements that work together. Some are bad. Some are good. Some are neutral. Some are irrelevant.

Criticizing the culture that gives things you don't want or don't need is valid (especially when you're in a time of intentional shedding - this is a pain I've felt at times, even though we're not wealthy, due to a host of gifts we've been given, for which we're grateful, but which we don't always find useful and our house can't handle them all). But the spirit of generosity can feel cold and empty when you give something as generic as money. Despite that, sometimes it can be the best gift. But if definitely and fundamentally varies from person to person, family to family, and need to need.

Slight correction: The notion of gift-giving is millennia old.

My opinion is that the notions that:
(1) Failing to give a physical gift is rude
(2) Giving cash is rude
(3) Asking for cash is rude
were all born of 19th and 20th century free market capitalism at work; in particular, marketers convincing people that they HAD to buy more stuff or they were terrible people.

For a parallel, look up the history of engagement rings. It's pretty terrifying what marketers did to poor young couples.

Skull and Shackles is 3 sessions in and going well.

I have been giving "last time on S&S" summaries from the point of view of Conchobar. It has been well recieved. The party considers him their mascot of a sorts.


2 people marked this as a favorite.

So the entire party are half-siblings, children of a single character from our last game named Roshi. They all are surnamed Roshi.

An incredibly foppish gnome steps up to the mic, clears his throat, and begins to speak.

Conchobar's Telling of Session 2:
"You want Conchobar to do what no? To read this foolish script of what happens to Roshi Clan each game? What do you mean game? This is no game. Beautiful Jones Roshi died in front of Conchobar's own enchanting eyes as he fought for dear life against seven sharks and a whale armed with nothing but a pen knife and some very minor assistance from Gale Roshi, best friend of Conchobar. It was very tragic moment. Conchobar was so moved with grief he could only make love to three women that night and not his usual seven."

"Nevertheless for the sake of Conchobar's best friends, great Roshi Clan, whom he has, as everyone knows, always loved, even when others doubted them, Conchobar shall tell the tale"

"Last time on Conchobar Leads the Roshi Clan, large storm comes and is horrible. A foolish gnome on the ship who is most certainly not Conchobar...what do you mean Conchobar is only gnome on ship? He said it was halfling. Clean wax off your ears. Yes. Halfling falls off boat. Gale and Shaw Roshi save weak pathetic halfling who ingratiates himself to them. It was embarassing. Sad. Pathetic really. This sad gn...Conchobar means halfling...cried like child in cabin for almost drowning because he could not swim. Then later Roshi clan is taught boarding and such. Conchobar teaches them meaning of true teamwork during this. Cheers them on. Most certainly does not hit Drizzy Roshi with rotten fish that Rosie through at him earlier when he licked his lips at sight of her pulling rope and said he had some rope for her to pull on."

"Three pirates attempt to kill Jones in bilges, but Conchobar uses great magics to disguise Jones...and...you know teaches Jones this spell so he can use it himself. Yes. This is what happened. Then the Wormwood chases merchant ship Man's Promise."

"Conchobar valiantly leads the Roshi Clan, except for Drizzy who is in crow's nest doing crow things, to the ship. Yes it is glorious battle. Conchobar kills a third of the crew alone, armed with only small spoon sharpened at one end, until best friend Jones falls over while climb."

"Conchobar he is distraught to see his friend fall who cannot climb well. Why does one join pirates if he cannot climb and swim? Conchobar does not know. Conchobar is master of all things sailor. He kills only nineteen more sailors as he dives into water to save Jones. Yes, and Gale came too. He was a useful distraction."

"As Conchobar fought a whale, five sharks, and an Aboleth, and best friend Gale alone killed two sharks and a seal with attitude problem, a great white shark eats friend Jones. Was horrible. Gale returns to ship. Conchobar kills nine more sharks in rage for his friend."

"Conchobar climbs back on ship. Roshi Clan violently dismembers Cog. Throws him over ship. Was nice thing to do for Roshi Clan. Conchobar said they did not have to over Cog owing Conchobar only 30gp, but they love Conchobar such it is honor. Not wanting to steal ALL the thunder of best friend Roshi Clan, Conchobar rests. Roshi clan finish the rest of 372 sailors alone, armed with broken mops, kill in very spectacular fashion. Gorgeous Dhalia, whom has professed love for Conchobar nine times but Conchobar has rebuffed because she is too tall for him, much to her crying dismay, saves Captain from assassin. A great party is had. A new Roshi is found! And Conchobar and Roshi Clan now set sail on new ship with Mr Plugg and smaller crew to Port Peril to sell ship. Plugg and Scourge seem to have plans for clan, but Conchobar will let none touch his best friends Roshi, for he is greatest swordsman, lover, and teller of true tales in Shackles. He swears this by his prowess as sailor, fighter, and legendary lovemaker."

Our incredibly foppish gnome ally steps up to the mic, accompanied by a muscular, cute, and perpetually resting b+*~# faced halfling woman.

Conchobar and Rosie tell Session 3:

"This time Conchobar is not alone in telling the story of Clan Roshi, for he has brought his lovely girlfriend..."

"I'm NOT your girlfriend."

"...his lovely paramour?"

"No."

"His...friend with benefits?"

"Want to tell the tale, or should I rip your tongue out and tell it myself?"

"Conchobar is here with lovely Rosie Cusswell, for the two of us are held against our will in the officer's cabin aboard the ship Man's Promise, forced to spend the days making sweet love..."

"Excuse me?"

"Well I mean...Conchobar did receive the sweet touch of Rosie in hour of desperation and time of sweet seduction."

"You screamed 'I don't want to die a virgin save me Gale' in your sleep. I gave you a pity handjob. You came after three pumps and cried for 45 minutes after."

"Conchobar remembers this differently."

"I will kill you little man."

"Urgh. Let me take over. If you keep talking this wil be nothing but hot f@@@ing air. That s&@+head Plugg is letting his head get big because he is pulling a fast one on Harrigan. That bald headed pinprick of a man, whose dick is even smaller than this lousy twit..."

"...Conchobar will take this as compliment that he has larger manhood than captain..."

"...right...so anyway that f%%+ing t@&& got pissy cause the Roshis are way better leaders than him. So he plans on murderin' them, right? Which will fail, obviously..."

"...because Conchobar will stop him by..."

"...crying for 45 minutes after he cums in his pants. Shut your cock holster, needle dick, and let me talk. So obviously they would wreck his s&*% but a bunch of grindylow captured their friends, and since the Roshis are stand up f%~#in' folk, they wanna rescue em. And wouldn't you know we need water, so they head to shore to investigate n' s@@*. Lotsa dead s#&!, including dead whores who try to eat them."

"Conchobar has this problem with the living women."

"Only Drizzy didn't cry for 45 minutes."

"Conchobar only wept that he did not feel Rosie's velvet lower grip."

"I'm gonna grip your skull with my axe you inbred wannabee fairy s&!&nozzle."

"Yes yes. But not before Conchobar tells tale of how now Drizzy rescues twice brother Vladamir, saving him from both paralyzing ghouls and giant frogs, both of which have tongues half as talented as Conchobar."

"Pulease, you're all talk."

"Conchobar has a silver tongue, this is true, but for Rosie it would be gold, and waggle much sweeter than she dreams."

(Natural 20 Diplomacy)

"...fine. But one f@%!ing teardrop and I'm wearing your intestines for my garters."

"Ah to die to decorate such a glorious region."

"Shut up before I change my mind."
