Good game tonight. We were trying to sabotage/disable some troop transports (the one in book 6 of Ruins of Azlant) and while most of the party was being sneaky, I had a different idea. I Dimension Doored to the one farthest from the rest of the party and, after using Knowledge(Engineering) to identify weak points, started writing on those points in Celestial. After spending several rounds doing this, I moved back a bit and pulled an item out of my bag of holding. It was Dagon's Eye, which, among other things, causes all Celestial writing within 40' of it to explode into 6d6 Fireballs. So a series of explosions go off, causing a good bit of damage to the transport - and alerting all the guards in the area. That's where we stopped for the night. But I'm not too worried for myself. I have another Dim Door prepared, as well as a Teleport. It's really a question of if the others can escape, seeing as some of them had already started tussling with the guards themselves.
We were playing online, so I might have been nekkid.

For my game.Those of you that know enough about the legacy of kain. The party had a brief conversation with Kain him claiming it to be his third conversation with them. (yay time travel) He hinted that mobeius was manipulating them but he's not one to lay it down thick. They are working on fixing the pillars which they don't realize would mean that they would be stuck on this plane and unable to go home. I'm basically trying to teach them that maybe accepting every quest a random NPC hands out to them may not always be the best strategy.

That reminds me of the time the whole party was being stealthy to the point that one sneaky identified another party member who was being sneaky and they were both paused because they both knew someone was hideing close by... it was annoying. So my figther charged on through all the mess. By myself I found the villains lair and saw his familiar through the window of his base. So I dove through attacking the familiar 2 crits later and we had a exploded familiar. Then the boss promptly killed me out of rage but at least it moved the game along.

It finally just hit me. The thing that bothers me the most about the new star wars movies. Rey started off using a staff and that was cool. Why did they not give her a Staff light saber like Darth Mauls but blue? So much wasted potential.
Because she was using other people's light sabers (Luke/Anakin's, then Leia's). She didn't have her own until the last scene, where, yeah, that could have made sense.

According to this, she started building it while training with Luke, and was planning on making it twin-bladed, but the vision she had of her dark self in the Death Star wreckage made her change her mind and go single blade.

That's another problem, Jedi don't really seem like they'd be all that tech savvy (beyond Luke and Rey) so how the f!!% do they put them together (beyond Luke and Rey). They look like they'd be pretty f@#+ing complicated with a ton of tiny little parts.
For that matter, with how tech savvy Rey is supposed to be, why does it take her three f@~@ing movies to build her own.

It would probably make more sense if I watched the movies, I'm sure with Bryan Singer in charge they can't be too confusing or convoluted.

I remember seeing something in one of the cartoons (maybe Clone Wars, but I'm not sure), or possibly in the Knights of the Old Republic video game, that suggested that once a Padawan was sufficiently advanced, they would let the Force guide them to collecting seemingly random bits, and then would use the Force the assemble them. I also recall, and I'm pretty sure from the video game, that if they weren't put together quite right they could explode, so they would give a newly constructed light saber to a droid, send it out away from anyone and anything, and have it activate it. Just in case.

Jesus built my light saber, it was a love affair, mainly between Jesus and my light saber.

Well that was fun. Had my first Big Earthquake nightmare since leaving California two years ago.
WTF? Why now? Why did my brain feel *that* was necessary to bring up again?
Hopefully it had Dwayne Johnson in it. Disaster dreams are always better if they're starring Dwayne Johnson.

I'm confused. I thought fat Thor was the good one.

Old republic had great lore they should of made new movies set in that time period.

They are supposed to make some old republic movies soon, or a show.

And yes. He's big. And he's still managed to wedge himself behind the washing machine. He's shy.
"who are you?!"
"Shy. Shy Purrlman."
He's still behind the washing maschine, to great annoyance of Merah who still cant use him as a pillow.
He's made a few 'mrew' sounds from behind and I could hear him wasching himself, so that is good.

Excellent! Sometimes it's hard to tell unless someone acknowledges it.
Also, Ministry can be more noise than metal sometimes so I can't fault anyone for not liking them, but that was such a classic 90s song I was surprised no one favorited it.
At any rate, there's a bear in the woods mauling cult d&$$!eads trying to murder me and I think I figured out how to get my dog back, so I'm off to die a lot in Far Cry 5.

Note to self,
People who are tied up are probably innocent and shouldn't be shot with a sniper rifle.
If you accidentally fire mortars at a herd of cattle while trying to hit a moving gas truck they will bolt and trample the s@#@ out of the farmer that was tied up by cultists.
Why does everything automatically go for my face. I suppose now we know why everyone is scarred in post apocalyptic games and movies.
As soon as the bomb drops turkeys immediately go for the face.
Fire causes brush fires, which can be a problem when you're hiding in the brush throwing Molotov cocktails.

Sometimes in IT, you just have to be a jerk.
I spent from 12:30-7:00 pm yesterday helping my mother-in-law get her new fiber optic network installed (973 Mbps both up and down), and it turned out her ancient (15+ years old) desktop was dead.
So this morning I spend from 10:00 am - 1:00 pm transferring all the files to a spare laptop, getting it all set up just like she was used to, and she was back in business!
Only to get a call 15 minutes later that the laptop wouldn't boot at all.
I could picture the entire thing clearly in my mind: She'd had one of per phone cradles sitting there unplugged on the desk when I left. While I was gone, she'd decided to plug it in to the power strip. Not wanting to block any outlets, she'd set the tail facing away from the other outlets, over the power switch for the strip itself. It drives me crazy, because it's one of those bizarre, "everyone does this until you yell at them not to ever do it" moments.
So, to make a point, I drove over to her house, walked in, and asked, "You plugged in the phone, didn't you?"
"Er, no, wait! Yes! How did you know?"
"Because you put the end of the phone charger over the power strip and turned off the power switch."
We walked into the computer room and it was exactly as I'd described it. We moved the phone plug, turned on the power strip, and all was well.
And it's just one of those things. Until you really drive home that they done goofed up, most people won't listen to you and will think you're some kind of magical computer-fixing genie.
*Sigh*.
