Been sick as a dog for days, holding down the fort while the roommates are out of town. My Christmas dinner was a couple of microwaved Hot Pockets.

I’ve had worse.

Some of the very best programmers I’ve ever met were self taught, don’t let your dreams be memes

In addition: at some unknown, future time of its choosing, it will expand and consume the earth.

Ok real shit though Naruto is awesome. NTA

About once a year or so I go replay Morrowind, the chaddest of the Elder Scrolls series.

This past year I replayed Morrowind with Tamriel Rebuilt tacked onto it, which has been extremely cool and fresh. TR really feels like official content a lot of the time, it’s quite good and the love that’s been put into it is very apparent.

Currently playing FFVI myself. It’s a treat.

Bit easier than other Final Fantasy games, I’m finding… at least in the early game, Edgar and Sabin are ass-blasting everything in the game with very little resistance, those boys probably don’t even need the rest of the Returners squad. I know that will probably change later but the duo are definitely the MVPs of act 1.

I’m also of mixed opinion about the ability to teach every party remember every spell in the game. It’s obviously not the best idea, that I can’t stop myself from doing. Does Edgar or Gau need to know how to cast Bio or Slow or Rasp? No, not at all, and they’re probably better served leveling up with magicite that gives them useful stats. Will they learn those spells? You betcha.

I am happy to pay it so long as I have any sort of expectation that I will see a return from it.

It is becoming increasingly clear to working Americans that we will never see a dollar back out of the Social Security program when it comes time for us to need it.

My friend (who is an engineer) pointed me at this a few years ago and I’ve been pleased with it.

Potato potato, they’re both land boats built like a three legged rhinoceros with the worst front sight lines I’ve ever seen.

Nah, you’re correct.

The translation is left as an exercise for the reader :)

The name was originally chosen for nerd cred (for anyone who recognizes it - Atra esterní ono thelduin. Mor’ranr lifa unin hjarta onr. Un atra du evarínya ono varda.) but I later realized that it’s also great because it’s an actual word from an actual story and 99% of search engine results for my name are going to bring up that story and its wiki. It’s an extra layer of pseudo-anonymity that I enjoy.

The avatar was just cause it’s funny, I use this one all over the place.

Username checks out

I remember a couple forums had a “thank” feature or something similar that would show, with your username, your approval for a post without having to make an additional post about it. No downvotes though, you had to speak up to be a hater. I think that was a fine middle ground.

I’ve dark souls dodge rolled an entire series of physical and mental maladies from both sides of my family and I’m afraid they’re all going to hit me like a sack of bricks when I turn 40

Man, I’ll fuckin’ take it over what we’ve got going on. I’d say at this point we deserve to be bulldozed for a galactic bypass.

Never said they had to be the same person.

Many folks would consider it right kind of you to put a bullet in a Klansman.

“Nukular” never fails to make me seethe a little bit internally.

Very carefully

I’ve been moving on with my life regarding this since about 2005, but it has failed to move on from me. I’m not sure what’s so funny about going “HUNTER2 HYUCK HYUCK HYUCK” every time you see the word “password” on the internet, but whatever, man, it’s clearly more popular than I am because y’all just can’t stop doing it.

Please leave the stupid reddit jokes back on reddit.

This dead horse was beaten into a very fine paste 10 years ago and it wasn’t funny back then either.
