I like a lot of those comics you guys mentioned. I read goblins but haven't kept up with it in awhile. they took a break on it and their was a lot of drama so I dropped it.
8-bit was in fact my first web comic I read. good stuff.
Least I could DO and Looking for group are good and will keep you busy for awhile. (LICD was a bit immature in the beginning but it gets better)
Ofcourse OOTS! Order of the stick is great!

Not why I shared it. I just have to vent somewhere. My brother is in worst straits than me and my mom and stepfather are dealing with their own issues and have been rescuing us since we left Ohio.
It gets hard focusing on the good. Its mostly how I have been getting through, but...we've been treading water for a while now. I just feel exhausted from this stress.
I gained 50 lbs in the last year. Fifty! I had just gotten down to "normal" weight but this year, with all the good it had, was stressful enough to take me from normal way the f+$& past overweight and obese into morbidly. That's a lot at once. And the best I've done in reverse in my entire life is about half that. And that was in my 20s.
I'm glad things worked out for you, at least. I don't have as much faith it will. But I appreciate the encouraging words, even if I'm too down to accept them as truth yet.
Venting is healthy.
The real reason old people are happier is that everyone expects them to vent, so they can get away with it unapologetically.
(I'm in a mood.) To me, it sounds more like survivorship bias to me. The old people that are venting are only the ones that survived all the tragedies, difficulties, illnesses, and societal barriers to reach retirement. The rest never made it.

(2) I was targeted for assassination by another player. Shiro did his best to save me, shooting her twice, but she eventually tracked me down and got me. She then tried to take out Shiro because she was mad at him for interfering. He had to shoot her half a dozen times before she finally realized he was waaaaaaay better than her and gave up.All that time he spent on an actual shooting range is paying off? :DNo. All that time he spent playing First Person Shooters (FPSes). (And look at me, defining my initialisms!)
Keep in mind that Shiro lives alone, has food delivered most of the time, and has a cleaning service. He has astonishing amounts of free time on his hands, and has for many, many years. Until he ran into us, he spent most nights playing PvP in FPS games.
He's really, really good at killing other players. He just knows we don't care for PvP so he plays co-op games with us. Then enjoys revenge when people don't play nice.
(Apparently after GothBard and I quit the dynamite game he looked up how to avoid getting hit by dynamite and spent 20 minutes killing the offenders over and over again until they realized they were outclassed and abandoned the server, so it turns out it was a net positive for him, even though when I left last night he seemed pretty unhappy about it.)
I love Shiro even more now

I LOVED 8-Bit Theater!
I think I've read it all about three times total. My favorite one is "Show me something that beats a natural 20, and I'll show you hateful lies!"
Oh, and fun note - my daughter just broke my phone today. Grabbed it off the counter and chucked it, not dropped it, tossed it at the floor with all the force her little almost-one-year-old arm could muster.
Yeah, that'll go on for 6-8 months as she learns how "fun" it is to manipulate objects. Anything that's throwable will get thrown. She'll grow out of it. Until then, firm but soft balls she can squeeze and throw with abandon are recommended...

'Masks of Nyarlathotep' reached its conclusion last night, and nobody died or went permanently insane. I think the GM was rather disappointed at this.
Next, we're playing 'Mutant Chronicles', using Savage Worlds. Apparently, we're in New York, which is on the moon, and there are steampunk space zombies everywhere.

You always dread what your contractor is going to listen to in your house: Some ultra-conservative talk show in a liberal neighborhood? The opposite?
Well, our guy likes American metal (not my cup of tea, but perfectly inoffensive), jazz, and gun podcasts (reviews of various guns and how well they work).
Pretty darned inoffensive, and I have to admit, I didn't even know they had "gun podcasts". I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
EDIT: OK, actually the gun podcasts are pretty cool: "So, this particular type of gun was developed in World War 2 by this country for this reason, and then in the 1950s the manufacturer made these modifications, and it was largely left that way until the mid-1980s, when..."

I don't know whether you were around for the whole nightmare LAST semester when she asked him for a "tradition unique to his family". It was... painful.
(He ended up explaining why every stocking has a tangerine in it at Christmas, which involves Impus Major and vomit, so it wasn't the most pleasant of stories...)

The only character I ever made for that game (and still never got to play) was a beauracratic deskjocky fanboi who just... he just wanted so bad to get famous peoples' signatures... you know... on paper... that he took up adventuring.
So he could have their signature on paper on an official document.
Because that's what makes it real, you see.
(Technically he had other, hypothetically more serious motivation than this, but, let's be real - it's all about the paperwork.)
