I certainly feel that my life is immeasurably richer now I've learned that it is.
Having grown up in "Lutern" country, yes. Yes it is.
I never would have left.

Random thought, from a few photos I have seen, WW looks like a resident Mad Scientist in Control.
Have I mentioned it's a fun 3rd person shooter with a interesting weirdish story?
LOL, you're not wrong.
When he was younger, people said Kenneth Branagh or Blackadder II. And, once, Trotsky.EDIT: Okay, this is really creepy. I looked it up on YouTube, and not only does Dr. Darling always wear bow ties, but he uses "archetypes/archetypal" twice in the second video. NH will attest, this is WW's favorite word.

Aw, geez. I am so sorry.
Any word on how Tala's interview went?| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |

She seems certain she got it, but no word yet.
I'm kinda...
Ok, so life shits on me constantly. It is, as a result, hard to get excited about things. My mindset has been "this would be nice, but I'm sure something will f#$+ it up."

Attacks of Opportunity
No.
Attacks of Orkortunity
YEEEESSSSS.
MORE DAKKA

Does WW play 3rd person shooters? Maybe you could get him Control to play? How would he react to repeatedly watching Dr. Darling - who keeps appearing in videos where he talks about various paranatural events.
Though some of later viedos could be indeed considered creepy...

Anyone else feel like you spend 10x as much time in groups talking about past games or stuff your character could potentially do as you do actually playing?

We try to keep it down to a third or fourth of a session time, though references and interjections do happen.

2nd Edition fixed that.
Maybe I should rewatch sailor moon.
Someone else got the apartment.
Damn. I'm sorry.
What aboutI have never actually seen Sailor Moon.Neil Armstrong was the first astronaut on the moon.
Astra means star, nauta means sailor. Astronaut literally means Star Sailor.
Therefore, Neil Armstrong is Sailor Moon.TinsyNot-So-Tinsy-Anymore Valeros?!
He will discover it on his own, one day.

Why do I doubt this strongly?

Well...crap...but...I'm sure that's not the only apartment in the area that fits your needs. Keep your head up.

According to Cells At Work Code Black, when Vany and I go out and tie one on, we are taking our red blood cells to the liver, where they hang out with scantily clad hapytocytes to drink adh and enjoy the occasional lapdance.
I LOVE THE HUMAN BODY AND MUST TAKE BETTER CARE OF MINE
And now I wonder if GothBard played Control and has an opinion about it.
No one in the group even recognizes it, much less has played it.

Do what everyone else seems to do -- steal my credit rating.

My group does that. I have to fight with them to get the moving on the current game. a random attack tends to work.

We know feehold we know.
I like that anime too. I learned a surprising amount from it.
A new student is joining a school, and is meeting the principal for the first time.
Principal: "Hi, there. I'm Mr. Jones. What's your name?"
Student: "T-t-t-th-th-thomas, sir."
Principal: "Nice to meet you, Thomas. Now, it seems you have a bit of a stutter, is that right?"
Student: "No, sir. Not at all."
Principal: "Then why did you say your name like that?"
Student: "Well, my dad has a pretty bad stutter, sir. And the nurse who wrote my name on my birth certificate was kind of a b%%*%."
She is not a nice lady that is plain.

One rule I really like from Ork!
If someone complains about an option being overpowered or argues over a rule the GM gives them essentially a -2 to every roll the rest of the night because "Krom hates rules lawyers and holds grudges".
UHh. I feel tempted to buy Zuma's Revenge...
It feels different than it used to. Maybe I am incapable of the same degree of focus anymore, or maybe it's just the early levels...
I was playing some of my favorite video games I own, and I got to thinking "this just isn't fun anymore."
And I got to wondering, if I got a new game, would it make much of a difference? And I thought the answer is likely no. The last time I got anything new, it kept me busy for...well less time than the cost was worth.
And yet I've put enough hundreds of hours into games that my Steam account has seen enough action to make me feel literal shame when they tell you "played XXX" hours for certain games. It's pretty disgusting.
And yet it's my go-to whenever I'm bored.
So I'm going to see if I can just focus on doing something, really anything more productive, with my time. Considering the only thing less productive than video games I can think of would be television, that leaves quite a lot of options at my disposal. I used to read an awful lot. And write. Some.

Sounds like that ennui hitting ya VE.
I've been off work for a whole month with this busted knee of mine, and I've chased down old games and new games alike. I've even started up a new campaign on the forums -- just to find an outlet for all this energy I've been building up. I want a story! With adventures! And monsters that have never been inside the pages of a bestiary (no, not even Drejk's!)! And crazy events!
So I guess this is a shameless plug: a "hardcore mode" 3.x/PF1-style game in the spirit of the Dungeoncraft YouTube channel. I'm looking for one more player who will post at least once a day (or every other, if Life Happens). Here's a linky, if you're interested.
Morning, John!
I mean what do you want kid he had to name like 168 other kids. he was going to run out of ideas eventually.
Looks like you will just have to work out on your own.

He can work with me! It's like working out but you have tangible results to look at (besides the muscles).
That's weird, I don't like oranges, being bloated flavorless tangerines and all.
I met a girl on Tinder, and for our first date we were going to go to the gym together. She stood me up. So we arranged to try again. She still didn't show. I figured I'd give her one last chance, but once again, she was a no show. That's when I knew, we just weren't going to work out.
I'm sorry, friend.
And it's time for a Monday political tirade! Woo hoo!
Why?
Because both Shiro and the Fake Russian are scheduled to get their COVID vaccines this week, and this involves politics.
I mean, for gosh' sake, the vaccine has been being distributed for three months now, and California's legislature is still arguing over who should get priority access.
Which brings us to the politics side of things. Shiro has cancer and a compromised immune system, so getting him the vaccine early is kind of a no-brainer. But the Fake Russian perplexed me. How did he qualify?
"Oh, you just need a doctor who'll write you a note."
Yep. Just like our opioid crisis. Just like our health care system in general. All you need is a doctor willing to check a checkbox under one of the multitude of health conditions that qualify you for an early vaccine and you get to jump to the front of the line.
And those of us who prefer to remain ethical? Governor Newsom has already said that California can't meet President Biden's May 1 mandate to make the vaccine generally available because too many special interest groups needy individuals must come first.
I figure GothBard and I won't see a dose until late June or early July. Because, as in all things for our lifetimes, Gen X comes last.

hm.
TL;DR Check both you and the Mrs for preexisting conditions. You are both older than me, it shouldn't be hard to find one or two.
P.S. please don't tell GothBard I said that last part.
