@Rook I used that website back when I was learning to shave with a straight razor.

The philosophy that gets me through the day goes like this: "When you feel like work is overwhelming you just remember: You are going to die."

Commonly is it shortened simply to "You are going to die."

And that gets me through the day because it's a freakin relief.

@Sunny I am tempted to say "maybe" but I would flake on you as soon as I had a bad week IRL or something similarly needful but unimportant to the running of a game, so the best support I can possibly give you is my encouragement and my steadfast determination that I will not stand in your way or ruin your project.

@silentsophia Ass yarn?!

...my cat did that once. It took her a while too.

I never understood the train of thought that goes "I love this setting, and I'd love to play in it, except we need to throw out everything about it." Amber without the Princes and Princesses, Transformers without Optimus or Megatron (c'mon, it didn't even work when the actual SHOW did it), Star Wars without Luke, Leia, Lando et al.

I mean, I guess I understand that you don't want those characters usurping the story? But it's a little like throwing the baby out with the bathwater, innit?

It is precisely like that.

So since there was discussion, what about a new future Amber game that @Autumn suggested? What sort of game system would it even use?

I like the modified d10 system that L5R uses. It preserves a sense of growing skill while rewarding true mastery with a near immunity to failure.

Can we RP this scene?

Hi ho @Silver away!

Girls like to ride!

@Sunny My opinion of you because of this story kind of went up a lot.

@Karmageddon Oh yes. I was initiated earlier today. It is a good day. A good day indeed.

I knew a bicyclist who absolutely should not have worn spandex--not because he wasn't athletic (he was), but because his nickname seriously should have been Tripod. It was both intimidating and embarrassing.

My bad. I just like to hang free and the spandex kept it out of the spokes.

Kung Fury

Hell. Yes.

How did my life have any meaning before this was made?

@Jeshin You remind me that I would love to see or take part in a game of Eclipse Phase someday.

@Arkandel Screw them. They will sell you to Somalians if it occurs to them. Get them before they get you.

Keep your tittyballs in your shirts.

Stop ruining it for everybody. Stop being That Guy.

I specifically meant normalizing the act of breastfeeding, although I certainly think anywhere guys can go around topless, women should be able to. I live in NYC where that's specifically the law.

Interesting fact: In Texas the law for Indecent Exposure explicitly prohibits the display of "anus or genitals" for purposes of sexual gratification in a public place. Breasts and nipples of both sexes are not mentioned, and due to common female anatomy a woman literally would have to bend over while naked and spread her business to display the so prohibited area. Because of that a naked woman casually walking around in public cannot be charged with Indecent Exposure in Texas.

Guys still have to put something over their junk because nobody wants to see that. Seriously. And if they're showing if off in Starbucks they go to jail.

@ThatOneDude What you do is if they give you the stink eye you just say in a loud outside voice, "Don't give me that look, Soggy Nips."

People will want to be your friend.

I love this article. You may too. My favorite part:

Corruption in FIFA is an open secret. But there are two reasons why America is the only country that can really go after the international soccer cartel:

1. We straight don’t give a fuck about soccer.
2. This is how we roll, legally, post 9/11.

@Coin Just remember, someday you will die. And so will he.

@Miss-Demeanor All I had to do was suggest that you have gargled game-shiterade for years and loved it.
