Why is CrystalSeas foot magnetically attracted to the crotches of giant robots?Here's what you need to defend against my foot
I have been watching a lot of old school kung fu films of late, this is awesome.
I have also absorbed the occasional kick to the crotch with minimal injury.

I know I’m late to this party, but I was hilariously accused of cheating once in high school.
I’m pretty sure my Earth Science teacher genuinely did not like me. I was kind of a smug bastard in HS, who got straight A’s and cultivated a reputation for getting those A’s with no effort (which was not always actually the case, but I do have an eidetic memory which helps me excel at test-taking with minimal study).
Anyway, I got a 100 on one of her tests, and she kept me after class and told me I must have cheated. She made me come back after school to take a new test on the same content, one on one with her. My parents were the opposite of helicopter parents, so I didn’t even tell them this was occurring. I just went after school, sat in her class, and got a 100 on the new test.
I will never forget the gobsmacked look on her face, and I bet my s@+%-eating grin probably made her question her career choices.
Favorite smug story (spoilered for self-aggrandizement):

now I want to see you walk into the classroom and defeat the teacher there and then tell the students they will now study your style of mathematics.

Almost had a panic attack. went to load my 5 year old minecraft world and it just wasn't their. I had to do some trouble shooting to recover it but their was a point where I was real upset. Having something you've worked on for 5 years just vanish.
It's like those old cowboy movies where the horse notices the rattle snake before the cowboy and saves the cowboys life except without the life saving part.
Someone should take the speak with animals spell stat.
My sliders game is going well. They picked a fight with the wrong NPC and almost TPK'd good times.... Oh I meant for me.
I think the horse has the 2nd or 3rd best Perception in the group. He has a +6, I know one PC has a +7 and maybe another one has something similar. I have a +1 (no ranks, WIS 12).
In one campaign, the paladin's warhorse was the best combatant for a few early levels, easily out-damaging everyone else...

It must have been a bad ass.
2nd and 4th were the two I skipped. in 1stD&D Primus the one and the prime was the most powerful thing in the books I could find.
As far as good horses go my last paladin his celestial charger kicked in a black dragons chest to save the party. He got the good treats that night.

Wow
I had an "ohcrap" moment in Phoenix Point today... Almost literaly a moment, though.
I went to defend a settlement against a pandoran attack with team "Thunderbird 3", which is underleveled, undertrained, and undergeared comparing to the two other active units. I get the defense screen and see enemy strength exceeding 20, which means the attacking force involves scylla... Ouch... Can they even handle it?!
My doubts lasted until the middle of round 1. After getting two sniper shots at the boss I noticed that the oh-so-dreaded scylla has a third of its full hit points... Could it be that the local defenders weakened it before I arrived? Was that a bug? (I haven't seen enemies starting the battles injuried before)
Who knows?
And then after I finished my turn... The scylla immediately fled the battle leaving behind the rest of pandorans...
That was sort of... Anticlimatic? Not that I complain, there are no real rewards for killing scyllas, they don't even have a chance of dropping scavaneged human-usable gear like the (vaguelly) humanoid units.
After listening to Miracle Of Sound's FF7 remake songs, I started reading about the remake... And now I kinda want to play it.
Except it wasn't released for PC yet...

Well this is weird and horrific.
WW just told me that my old flame from university days, who was also one of WW's best friends back in the day, was shot and killed by his wife's father last night in Nebraska. WW and our old crowd have been texting each other all morning. There's a lot of speculation but no actual information.
I'm trying to sort out what I have a right to feel about it. I'm still in shock.

Somebody put up a series of videos on a cut called the 'hellish quarte', or 'Polish fourth' on a HEMA Facebook group I'm in (an ascending cut going from lower left to upper right, basically). They started doing it against plastic bottles/striking pads and the like, then, boys being boys, one put on (what he thought was) an extra solid groin protector, then the other chap gave him a full-force thwack in the crotch, at which point the strikee fell down and started rolling around on the ground in considerable discomfort, surprise surprise. Made me wince watching it.

Here's the kind of guy Frank was.
Yes, his moral compass was a bit skewed, and yes, he self-selected into both the Sith and Slytherin, and yes, he was a Rennie for life, but. When the seventh Harry Potter novel was released, he and his wife preordered two copies so they wouldn't have to take turns or share, binge-read them in one night, then showed up at their local public library the next morning when it opened to donate the extra copy, because they knew there would be a long line of library patrons who couldn't afford to buy it, waiting their turn.

I'm getting ready for the first snow run of the season, should be fun!
It was not fun, the snow was ungodly heavy, they had us go out 5 hours too early, so I basically wasted five hours, I had five blowers break down, and then they had someone switch out my truck with one that didn't have a working heater. And on top of it all they expected 4 people to blow off 44 two or three car garage driveways by ourselves. I told them no and went back to the shop.
So, now I'm home, my back is sore, and I'm pretty pissed off.
On the plus side, everyone on my crew did an awesome job despite the near constant breakage and bullshit.

The kids keep talking about moving somewhere it snows. I say, "Then you'd have to shovel it."
"We wouldn't mind!""After the fifth or sixth snowfall? Yes, yes you would..."

They wouldn't even make it through the first shovelling before asking you to get a snow blower.
I miss the snow. It never fills like the season until snow. Some years we don't even get snow too and rarely much of it.
yes Ice is not nice.
I'd rather have rice.

I miss a lot when I'm on a snow run and the exhausted aftermath.
