I'm in the same boat.

I love the Raptors. Always have, being from Toronto. I was at their inaugural game, and watched Mighty Mouse play. I was around when Vinsanity was the name of the game.

But LeBron is LeBron. The Cavaliers have altered their game more than substantially. You put LeBron in with a bunch of young studs, which the team has now, and he could be unstoppable. He willed victory in his second contest with Golden State.

Toronto has won the only game they played this year. Toronto is better statistically. But the Cavaliers now are different and better than the Cavaliers in January. Toronto has a shot if they keep playing inspired basketball, but that's a big 'if'.

Double post because suck it America.

Updated again.

I'm peeved that my laser eye surgery does not mean surgery to get laser eyes like Cyclops.

On the upside, you're not Cyclops.

@nemesis said in What's your identity worth to you?:

When a MU allows guest connections without email registration or if it allows character creation but not necessarily character approval without email registration, I will always look around. If the game is active and the bbposts are generally literate and there isn't juvenile bullshit like flame-warring going on right out on front street, I will give them an email address.

I concur with you completely, but would add that I would go through the process if a RP partner I trust recommends the game at issue; that's why I was willing to give Arx my email address.

Could this be the year the San Antonio Spurs finally miss the playoffs?

Possibly.

@crysta said in Pineapple on Pizza:

The near-acidic sweetness of pineapple complements the saltiness of the ham/bacon and the tang of the tomato sauce perfectly. Some people just can't appreciate true art.

Here's my problem with the pineapple: it makes goop out of the rest of the toppings.

The sweetness of the pineapple should complement the ham, but most idiots bake the fuck out of it, which makes the saltiness die. And the moisture of good, fresh pineapple hampers the cheese melting, and there's always too much fucking tomato sauce. Aggravating as shit. Every single time it's ordered from just about any location -- totally, sloppy, sopping mass of shit that'd make better wallpaper glue..

Except the time that I ate it without the cheese. That's when I made my own flatbread pizza with the pineapple and sauce to start with, then pulled it out of the oven at the 7-minute mark to add ham and bacon to it, then put a parmesan-mozza mix on top. Back in for 7 minutes, and took it out. Lovely.

Having it deep dish? Also a different story. Pizza Slut Hawaiian pizza's fantastic: the fluffy dough soaks up a lot of that moisture.

But Papa John's? Fuck Papa John's.

@mr-johnson said in Comic Noir Game:

To give you a general idea of why the pollution rating is even there: There is not a single room on the Gotham side of the grid where pollution is less then **, (Fairly light pollution, but I wouldn't recommend drinking the river-water. Might get the occasional bad smell.) with several rooms getting as high as ***** (At that level the sky is literally blacked out by smog creating a perpetual night.) ...
On the other side of the coin there are no rooms (Yet, and I don't exactly plan there to be unless player actions alter the grid.) in Metropolis with more then ** in pollution, and most rooms there have 0 or *. I feel that this helps show the stark contrast between the Dark City, and The City of Tomorrow.

Does the Pollution and Crime ratings have an effect on the system?

Honestly, the past half-dozen times I've come on, there was nothing going on. In the game's defense, I tend to hop on during business hours EST, and, in the evenings, I've been setting up my RP on The Descent.

I'll be back.

-- Feesh.

@sonder

Have there been any substantive discussions about transitioning fully to 2E?

The level of ridiculousness is seriously beyond.

Why, I'll bet they also believe it wise to furnish you with handguns, in case there's ever an active shooter on site.

You know who's shiny? David Bowie.

@auspice

Yeah. To Google:

@auspice

I just want Google Images to go back to the way it was.

@surreality said in Random links:

In part because... wtf, google image search. Truly.

@sg

I want to say that the combat system saves NPC combatants. At least, I believe it does. In which case, this shouldn't be too difficult.

You must work for the CW.

I have talent, thank you.

@kanye-qwest said in General Video Game Thread:

honestly I had a whiff of interest in Kingdom Come Deliverance but a bit of watching gameplay vids and reading the game media left me with the distinct impression this is some completely myopic bullshit where Good White Man's Son galavants around have grand Adventures and choosing which whores to be bathed by.

It's a lot better than not being able to choose the whores to be bathed by.
