    • Auto-Registration Disabled

      Mietze recently banned another clone of our sometimes-mellow-than-WTF right-wing troll.

      Later, we noticed an account with a similar "anonymous" e-mail address was registered.

      Clearly, this motherfucker seems to think that we like playing games. I have no doubt we'll play this cat-and-mouse game like a sad simile of the Batman-Joker routine. And you know what? I'm fucking sick and tired of it because it is interfering with my raging alcoholism.

      So, for the next little while, there's no automatic registration. We'll be approving them. And if some other shitbag wants to, oh I don't know, spam the fuck out of us with accounts, then we'll simply disable them and allow user-invite only for a while.

      How long will this go on? I don't know. Hopefully long enough that people will take a fucking hint, but I'm smart and cynical enough to realize that some people are out to ruin shit for others.

      Got issues getting online? PM me.

    • RE: MUs That We Would Love To Make (But Won't)

      I grew up believing that high-technology leads to feudalism, planetary destruction, and massive family battles fought by mercenaries.

      But I grew up playing fucking Battletech.

      The other problem is that those two examples aren’t from the same source material.

      The new release planned by Netflix looks and feels very different than their She-Ra reboot, and those two lines were interwoven in the past. Thundercats, which is a Rankin-Bass IP (like the classic racist Christmas specials), would probably better fit with Silverhawks and Tiger Sharks, and the newest incarnations have a world very different from Eternia and Etheria.

      @derp said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

      "The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design." -- Friedrich Hayek

      Ah, yes, Hayek: the thinker that Keynes fucked up in a letter so badly that he abandoned the study of economics and took up political philosophy.

      In the beginning of the evening: "You know, I really miss playing a vampire; I'm going to read through the V20 books and splats and think about a character."

      By the end of the evening: "Fuck that, Hilda is so awesome, no, I want a fucking changeling or mage or something I don't know, fuck, there needs to be a system for this universe."

      @wizz said in Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff:

      I guess to clarify, like is there anything that would be considered unreasonable in a contract like that that wouldn't be immediately obvious?

      Of course. Infinitely so. But if you follow the plain language of the contract, you should be okay.

      Remember: you are not responsible for how others interpret the contract.

      If you're working on a documentary, chances are that the purpose of the NDA is to prevent you from talking to others, particularly the media, about the content and release dates.

      Pretty standard in the documentary industry, really.

      Watermelon is fucking gross.

      And most people don’t season or prepare their chicken well before frying, so it ends up tasting bland and too oily.

      And should be run by professionals. Not Dave that got a good deal on 'fireworks' from the next county over.

      I nearly ran over two kids and two adults setting off fireworks in the middle of my fucking suburban street, with about two dozen onlookers staring at me as if I was the asshole.

      Look, dipshits, I will run you and your fucking children over in my black Lexus if you stand or sit in the middle of the street after the sun goes down.

      We like to pimp our cars out with subwoofers and rims, but get called “ricebois” for it.

    • RE: Testing the Waters for Battletech Interest

      @jennkryst

      But it’s doable.

      I mean, I know you can do ship-to-ship fighting in FS3/Ares. Shouldn’t be too difficult to modify. It won’t be the same system, maybe, but BTech is mostly awesome based on load outs and universe building.
