@tempest said in Regarding administration on MSB:

Furthermore, I am not really cool with this post, at all. Or with this 'shut up or I'll ban you' being a casual comment from somebody who is a mod on the board.

What part of that post was intended to be a casual comment? It's not a casual comment, and it wasn't phrased as one.

What exactly have I done that is so horrible, please inform me?

C'mon, really?

You toe the line. You've always toed the line. You know damn well what you're doing, but if I would have to say it plainly, then you're deliberately doing shit in order to test people's patience.

If you want to sell the idea that you had no idea that creating a topic called "United Heroes is Literally Worse Than Hitler" in the Mildly Constructive area, so be it; however, your actions belie your claim to innocence or ignorance. You could have picked any other kind of innocuous title, but, no, you decided to go with "United Heroes is Literally Worse Than Hitler".

Not "Links to other United Heroes threads."

Not "Hot Topics on United Heroes Banned by Mods on this Forum!"

Not "Lurid Undie Weasels Form Border Guard Against Interesting Stuff on United Heroes."

No. Hitler. Hitler is what you picked.

C'mon.

Just, stop. You know what you did. Just don't do it again, all right?

And that's my casual comment on the matter.

Walking is not helping me lose weight. Not visually, at least. Most days I still feel fat as ever (though I do not own a scale, so who knows).

Stress isn't helping. Cortisol is your enemy.

@taika

I'm sorry, mistress, but I will get back on schedule after this week. Just finished up a trial, and am heading into depositions tomorrow.

@thenomain said in General Video Game Thread:

Worth it just for Rebuild.

I adored Rebuild 3.

@shelbeast said in Fallout MU*:

Personally, for the actual character system, I'd rather see if we can adapt the SPECIAL system more directly, or even look at the SIMPLE system for the tabletop RPG that Josh Sawyer was working on.

Broken record: FS3 could pull off the SPECIAL system quite easily. Skill set may be a bit more difficult. I don't think Faraday has the other knick-knacks and do-dads, but that wasn't personally the appeal in Fallout to me.

@thenomain

One.

I have two kids and one cat. If one of the kids wants a cat, they will have to kill one child or the existing cat. And I know my cat is pretty damn fast.

My household is always going to be interesting.

First question: what is it about the code that people like?

@tragedyjones

Do you think RDC is a douchebag? If not, try New Orleans.

This just popped up in my feed on FB.

Same. My comment: "Been there. Knew it. Had it."

@mietze said in RL Anger:

Pretty much all day I’ve been on the edge of stress- and anxiety-vomiting turning in my court paperwork. But now I might be adopting 2 kittens this evening, so there is that.

I want another kitten, but I have a 3-varmint rule.

@tinuviel

Is there anything any of us can do to help?

If there's something I can do, PM me. I live in the Southwest Ohio area.

@monogram said in General Video Game Thread:

They're especially hard when while fighting a Stormbird, you unknowningly stumble into an area that's being occupied by a pair of Rockbreakers. Then it becomes a nightmarish party.

Well, yeah. Rockbreakers suck. Their hit-registration is through the roof for no good fucking reason.

But Stormbirds? Easy as pie. They are slow as shit on the ground, and you can pound them with Hardpoints. Heck, they even get stunned on the regular, and that can let you tear off their engines right quick.

Thunderjaws are a bit tougher, but they sort of try to stare you down, which is not a good tactic when you've got their disc throwers.

Someone told me that Stormbirds were hard.

They ain’t hard.

HZD is awesome.

@prototart

Combat wasn’t the same thing.

@jennkryst said in L5R 5E:

I already have my Scorpion planned, and no one will suspect a damn thing.

The fun part is being the Scorpion that everyone suspects, but who demonstrates that it is actually someone else's fault entirely.

@the-tree-of-woe said in L5R 5E:

Cranes dance. Lions fight. If their honor's so out of joint, they can bring their army, and I'll bring mine.

The Cranes will make you look like a bitch in front of your friends and family, and will cut you down in a duel.

Pick a Scorpion. Everyone hates them, everyone expects them to be nefarious.

@auspice said in RL Anger:

This man is an ass.
This wasn't just harsh criticism.

He never said a single positive thing. He cut me off constantly. He was practically yelling at me at times.

It took Phil Lord and Chris Miller almost 15 years to get a project of their own up off the ground again, and for crowds to appreciate their humor.

That said, when you're ready you should ask your instructor to put all of his criticism down into writing. And then, you should forward that onto his supervisor, along with the accounts of everyone else in your class who probably went through the exact same thing.

Abuse comes in many forms, and always breeds in darkness.

@auspice said in RL Anger:

I will willingly offer myself in exchange for steak and booze.
Is that acceptable?

To be frank, I'm a simple sort of person, and will exchange steak and booze for someone to watch Stranger Things 2 with.

I'm very disappointed, for the most part.

I'd like to think I'm a pretty successful person, and yet I haven't raped anyone so far.

Maybe I'm just behind the curve.

(Actually, I'm not disappointed -- at least, not at myself. I'm disappointed to hear that even beloved celebs like Tyson may have engaged in this behavior. If the allegations are true -- and I think there is more truth to this than falsity -- then it just goes to show you that you really can't trust anyone at all, anywhere, and it's absolutely tiring to think about life this way.)

(Also, this sickness sucks, but at least it's going away.)

@tinuviel said in RL Anger:

I have dealt with such people who were formerly colleagues. This is exactly what they say, at least.

Thankfully, I didn't have any such colleagues as a teacher.

I know plenty of lawyers that think couch fees are perfectly reasonable too.
