The current campaign I'm playing in is Core+APG only, and it's been very challenging for me to come up with anything remotely interesting. Best I could do is a Half-Orc Inquisitor. Yeah I know "snarling half Orc tough guy" isn't original, but when lemons are all I have to work with, lemonade will be the end product.
My Half-Orc Winter Oracle has been rather fresh and exciting.

I played Farmville for 10 years or more. Now I cannot get back on Facebook because they keep demanding I submit a scan of my ID to prove what my real name is.
Also, Comcast Cable cut out my access to any channel that isn't also broadcast, so no new Dr. Who episodes. The place where I live controls the account and won't pay for addition channels or let me.
Last year, the local postal person delivered my mail to another building where whatever resident that lives there threw out my tax rebate check with the junk mail, twice!
So now I'm waiting for my tax rebate from this year to be deposited into my visa debit card so I can buy a wifi transmitter with enough upload and download speed that I can run the HULU link I bought for 20$ that was supposed to just plug into the TV set and work.
When I get the money I can also download the unchained and occult adventures posters keep referring me too.

The only PF game I get to actually be a player in was cancelled this weekend by the GM because I had to go out of town. I emailed my cleric character sheet to one of the other players so they'd have healing and such, and the rest of the players were on board with it, but he insists that EVERY player in this campaign be present or he won't run. Yet when I run games he's a consistent flake out on games.
Just griping at the double standard going on.

Thanks! I'd appreciate that!

Heck, I'll run with as few as two present, but it has to be two of three particular people in my group for me to feel confident that we can continue. Not everybody is suited to running three characters each, and the rest fall beneath that heading.

I have a "core" group of three who make nearly every game. The others have a 2+ hour drive to get here, and another two have young kids they are very involved with on the weekends with their own activities. So if anyone but the core three makes it all it's a good thing. If they can't, I always try to have either a side adventure for those three or I tone down the one I had prepared for a larger group. Turns out I'm also the only one in the group who ever GMs that can do this, it seems. We've had our Call of Cthulhu game cancelled numerous times by another GM in our group because one person couldn't make it. We play that particular campaign maybe 4 times a year at the most, and if it gets cancelled because one player can't make it it's very frustrating. And again, THIS guy can miss a a game or two and I can run w/out him.
Maybe this is my superpower - running successful games with an inconsistent number of players.

My life in early college, wrangling 7 guys who worked odd rotating shifts and homework to boot. My rule was if we get 3 we are pushing through

The fun part is coming up with amusing reasons for character absences.
I think my druid spent the better part of a session on the toilet because I wasn't available.

Personally, I just outright need every PbP I play in to just give me this thing. Life (and the game) will go on much better when I inevitably flake*.
Really useful for gaming groups that have players that often can't show, too, though it's probably less humorous than things that TOZ or others can come up with. :D
* Totally against my will, mind you, and much to my shame; but it seems that I can't avoid doing exactly this thing for reasons that are beyond my ken. EDIT: Wait, are you even allowed to air your grievances against yourself?! TOO BAD, I did.

Why are Kindle books so expensive!!!
$10 for a digital book when you can often get the paperback for $5 is infuriating.
If each paperback you bought came with the option of spending an extra $5 to acquire enough extradimensional space to carry them all with the same amount of weight/space usage as a single book, would you pay for that?

Only if they were originally priced that way. When I used to be able to get Kindle books for cheaper than paperbacks, and then suddenly someone decided to start charging more - That's really the part that induces anger.
Its sort of like when your work health care plan gives you one rate, then the next year they increase your rate by 20% but then allow you to earn that 20% back by jumping through various hoops.
It feels like a very slimy tactic.

Not exactly. You pay an extra $5 for the luxury of being allowed to put it in your extradimensional space that you already bought, and never use it outside of that space, and always have to keep it charged.

Unnamed player at convention this past weekend, why did you stridently insist that the only way to PFS was to murderhobo all the time and that anything else was badwrongfun?
I died a little bit inside after our table of the scenario had a raucous goodfuntime *NOT* murdering EDIT!*ANYONE* in the same scenario you were seated at when you made those declarations.

I think we had one combat and one combat-rounds situation in the scenario, based on our play and our approach...
