@thenomain The book came off as sexist garbage to me. Very much a pre-Gamergate sort of attitude.

RE: The Basketball Thread
@arkandel A team's culture is more important to me than their win/loss ratio. I'd rather not have the Ball family anywhere near the Spurs.
And Leonard's attitude is cancerous. Maybe we'll take Cousins next year if he can prove to be a mature adult for his one year on the Warriors (and his output hasn't dropped too far).
Spurs are gonna lose with Leonard any way they trade him if you take him at face value. His output when he was willing to play? Phenomenal. But right now? Kuzma + Hart + Picks is /more than fair/ for a player who won't play.

RE: The Basketball Thread
ARGH screw you Kawhi Leonard. Screw you so hard.
You're in San Antonio. All you gotta do is think... WWTDD? What would Tim Duncan do?
Hint: It's not what you're doing. If you can't work with Pop then there is no other coach in the league you can rely on.
Unless you want to go the Lebron James route and be so physically gifted that a team will let you completely bypass the coach, Cavaliers-style.
I'd take any Laker in exchange for Leonard at this point. Well. Aside from Ball.
Nobody wants that dumpster fire.

RE: Random Oddness or 'Is This Normal?'
Apnea? I know people with that and I breathe just fine when I sleep. My breathing is, as a certain politician might say, 'The best. The biggest. Yuge. Stable genius breathing.'
I am gonna look into that though, I was unaware that might be a potential thing.

RE: Why did you pick your username?
I had a character named Admiral on DW 2.0. Also I'm a fan of Admiral Ackbar. Also I played Slark on Dota 2, so I used the name Fishman there.
Admiral Ackbar is an Admiral who is a Fish Man. FIsh are nautical. Like navies. Navies are led by Admirals. So I used the name Admiral Fishman. Jim Carrey. 23.
Layers. My name is deep.
But truthfully I have no fucking idea where it came from.

RE: MU Things I Love
It's easy to roll with the punches and mature as a character when you know that staff will protect you from real consequences and feed you all the best plots/RP that others don't get.
That may not be the case here but in my experience most players are pretty much the same. We're all capable of the same things. The ones who 'perform best' are just the ones that staff decided to favor.

RE: Random Oddness or 'Is This Normal?'
I will call around to clinics next week, then. I've had the deja-nausea symptoms for months and months now. The other one has just been the last few nights.

RE: Random Oddness or 'Is This Normal?'
I don't think vertigo is involved in it. I mean, I have had vertigo before but this doesn't feel like the world is tilting or off kilter. It just feels like really, really, super intense deja vu. Like a conversation or thing I know I've done before. And the nausea comes with it.

Random Oddness or 'Is This Normal?'
So I've been having a problem lately with waking up in the middle of the night. This is not unusual for me, though. It happens -all the time-. Throughout my entire life. Hooray for insomnia and other assorted badness.
Recently it's taken on a different spin as when I wake up I am unable to read for a few minutes. I look at my alarm clock and it is random symbols. I pick up a book I keep by my bed and it is like alien hieroglyphs. None of it makes any sense. It takes me at least 2 to 3 minutes before my brain well actually let me read.
The oddest part is that I can generally read just fine in my dreams. I've even had dreams that are primarily text (thanks to MUSHing. Fuck you, MUSHing!) So... anyone have any idea what the deal is?
Question number two: Sometimes I have extreme feelings of deja vu coupled with severe nausea. Never separate. Always those two things together. It happens at random times and random places with random people. While at work, while at my apartment... thankfully not while I'm driving yet, but still. It's a really weird, specific symptom to have. And it only happens once a week at most. Looking it up (without going to a real doctor because lolhealthcareinamerica) gave me 'mild epileptic petite mal seizure' as the likely cause. Anyone out there have any experience with this?
Also please feel free to use this thread for your own weird questions. There's probably another thread somewhere about it but I'm too lazy to search for it.

RE: The Basketball Thread
I gotta ask, as a sanity check...
I am a Spurs fan. Kawhi Leonard. As a Spurs fan it feels to me like he just pussyfooted around and tried to avoid coming back even when he was ready because he doesn't give a shit about the Spurs and wanted to maximize his potential payday with minimal work.
All this crap about the Lakers, for instance, feels like a stab against the Spurs. Minimizing their ability to trade him off doesn't come off as very professional.
Am I wrong about him? Is he not a Dwight-Howard-Type? Someone explain him to me if so, because... I don't see it.

RE: Geist 2.0 Kickstarter
I'd wait for Changeling to come out and then just remove all the garbage content.
You might even hit up David Hill and see if he wants to assist. As badly as OPP screwed him over (I hear they actually did rewrites in order to minimize his 'credit' for the book) I imagine he'd be willing to at least advise.
Also? Fuck White Wolf and Zak Smith. For real. I that he did a 'prelude interaction fiction' released on steam and named a character after a trans-author he disliked.
This character spouts ultra left-wing politics at people, talks about her penis, and kills people who react badly to her. I can't confirm that, as I won't be buying that steaming pile of shit to check it myself.

RE: Geist 2.0 Kickstarter
RE: Changeling - From what I heard, they axed the head writer and filled it with a bunch of alt-right edgelord stuff.
At least, that's what David Hill said.

RE: RL Anger
@surreality Just as a general addendum; don't be so down on yourself. Most of the hobby are socially inept with varying levels of self esteem issues. I've met a lot of people I first knew on MUs and, aside from a few really... shitty people they've been a lot more awesome than they believe they are.
And if they aren't awesome, they're still not really any worse than anyone else. So buck up. You probably aren't shitty.
*Looking at you, married couple who let a five year old girl run around naked in an apartment I, an adult male, had to share with you. Fuck you guys.

RE: RL Anger
@surreality Time to Godwin's Law this shit. (Not really, but I'll be invoking Hitler as an example)
I don't care if you're Literally Hitler. Literally Hitler's friends wouldn't cut him off at the knees like that. The whole point of a friend is to -literally not do that shit-. This person is a leech. A parasite. Someone who sucks on your suffering and uses it to make themselves feel less like garbage. Nobody deserves to be treated like that. Not even Literally Hitler.
Please. Out this person. They deserve it.

RE: The Basketball Thread
Word is Cousins wasn't getting shit for offers. That 'minimum' was all he was going to get at any decent-market team. With his injury and recovery he's hoping to use good teammates to maximize his value for next year.
The chances of him staying with GSW to hunt rings is virtually zero.

If it wasn't Onyx Path I'd consider it.
But no thank you.

RE: The Basketball Thread
@arkandel I'm glad he's a Laker too. As a non-Laker fan. He could have gone some places far more dangerous.

RE: Critters!
@zombiegenesis I won't insult your choice of pet but spiders really give me the heebies. I wish you had used a spoiler tag of some sort. Good on you for the unconventional pet choice though.

RE: oWoD - Is there such thing as a good one?
@thenomain If you can't laugh in the face of tragedy you aren't drinking enough. I dunno what to tell you.
