PENIS MAN
Who is "Penis Man" and why has he come?
^ That really is the only way that article should have opened, and I am quietly proud of them for going there.
Absolutely.
This is every bit TURK 182 meets DUDE? WHERE'S MY CAR and I support it 100%.
Some of you may or may not know, but there's a vigilante at work in the Phoenix metropolitan area right now. He stalks the night, strikes, and has been leaving his mark. Police are trying to catch him, but so far have been unsuccessful.
I present to you...
Not all heroes wear capes. Go, Penis Man, go.
Trying to set policy that everyone loves is a moving target that you will never hit.
Set a policy that you feel is reasonable and stand by it.
Gotta say though, it's nice seeing another stab at Firefly outside of the convoluted code mess (and unethical WTFness) that was Serenity Mush.
I think what you're seeing here is some residual worry about snooping because some of the Serenity Mush old guard (not just Mal/Inara) were known to snoop and would (up to the point of banning players) abuse players for choosing against their wishes via RP.
I think a lot of people loved their stories and characters from that game, but didnt exactly love the game itself. That make sense?
I'm a Neil Marshall fan. I'm enjoying it. It's a very classic-type adventure show, like the Fraser Mummy movies.
What do you mean by movies? Only one was ever made, sadly.
Was the Scorpion King movie with the Rock not enough for you? Ingrate.
Question.
What will the policy be on recreation of Serenity Mush characters and/or whether or not content from Serenity Mush is allowed as canon for this game?
Got into Netflix LOST IN SPACE.

If any of our forum members are in Australia and are anywhere near those fires, my heart goes out to you. Speak up if you need anything.
unless your name is @Tinuviel
Yanno, I was gonna make a tasteless joke, but I would hate for something bad to happen and then feel horrible if that joke kinda called it.
So yeah, I'm even wishing @Tinuviel well; that fuck.

In preparation for Underwater this weekend I rewatched Leviathan, The Abyss, and Deep Star Six.
OMG Deep Star Six was godawful. I LOVED it when I was younger, but like Buckaroo Banzai rewatching it as an adult it doesnt hold up well at all.

@surreality I love that meat hammer. I bought a pizza cutter in the shape of the starship Enterprise once. (NCC-1701, no bloody A, B, C or D)
I use it for all my dough cutting!
HEY. HEY. Don't you diss the D.

squishing with flat of knife blade
Big knife + rubber mallet.
I don't have space for a rubber mallet in my kitchen
Get one.
@Auspice I cant do those "Mongolian Grill" places anymore. They depress me, but for reasons that aren't conducive to a thread about depression eating.

I'm still so glad I broke myself of buffets years ago.
Too many days in my early twenties of getting stoned AF and going to Cici's or a chinese buffet.
Indian buffets are pretty unfair, IMO.
If you go to an Indian restaurant/buffet, then you can have everything you want (biryani, naan, etc) for $12 and unlimited plates. But if you want ONE meal (say, just Chicken Korma) then they unleash this weird TIERED PRICING payment thing that results in it coming to around $17.
Curry chicken? Yes.
With rice? Yes (cash register sound)
With naan? Yes (cash register sound)
One naan or two? OMGFUCKOFF.
@Tinuviel said in Depression Meals:
@Ghost Ah, of course. That explains a great deal.
I didnt believe it myself until some friends dragged me to one.
"Pepperoni pizza? Huh. Whattya know..."
They're still 75% Chinese food but it seems they're using the "crap for everyone at $12 per person" tactic. Stuff to feed the bratty, picky kid.

Chinese Buffet
@Wretched said in Depression Meals:
Too much sushi
Um.
Oh you didn't know?
In the US Chinese buffets include: Chinese food, sushi, pizza, corn dogs, spaghetti, troughs of gravy, and they'll pour that shit into a bucket all in one gloppy mix and you can just...feed.
@Wretched Man, Door Dash is to lazy people what heroin is to junkies.
"Tired. Bored. Hungry."
"Hi. I'm DoorDash. Your fave restaurant is on our menu"
"Fuckit. Let's do it."
"Is it cool if I add $1.50 extra per item than the restaurant actually charges, then throw in a $3 delivery fee and a tip on top?"
"...fuck it."
"Excellent! Your $55 order from Wendy's that would have been $10 were you not lazy is on its way!"
"...sigh. okay just this ONE time..."
There needs to be a very specific circle of Hell for IT employees who schedule skiing trips during dedicated code release windows because 9 weeks prior there wasn't anything planned.
Fuck you, asshole. You KNOW those windows are our responsibilities to uphold even if they decide 48 hours prior they want to suddenly plan something.
There also needs to be a double-specific circle of Hell for employees who, upon learning something needs to be done in the window they scheduled a skiing trip over, laugh and say "Hah not me, I'll be skiing" as management turns to their teammates to double their workload.
And...
There needs to be a triple-specific "Where Hitler Gets to Fuck Your Mom While You Watch" level of Hell for employees who meet the first two requirements but refuse to do any planning or prework despite being in the office for 3 days this week because "...well I'm not doing it".
Apparently this is the "my lack of planning and skiing trip means everyone else needs their workload tripled" week.
