Darn, and here I was wanting the responsibility and power of the board so I could...

...well shit. How does one abuse their power on a small, niche internet bbs again?

Ask Rasheem.

Who?

Exactly.

I'll second the recommendation for GURPS provided you really enjoy the single most incoherently and incompetently designed system of the '80s.

GURPS splat books can be a good read. GURPS itself is ... well, shit.

@n0q said in For Want of a Stat System:

This game takes place in a dreamstate. Someone (known as the Dreamer, the Creator, or God) is likely in a coma and having a warped lucid dream where he is oblivious, but some characters in the dream have become lucid, instead. These PCs and all NPCs of note are called Hypnagogues, and have formed factions within the dreamscape. They fight for philosophical reasons which have serious ramifications for the dream world and possibly the dreamer.

Because Hypnagogues are far faster, stronger, and more durable than regular dream people (called Figments), they lend themselves to larger than life conflict. That expresses itself by combat playing out like some sort of 80s action flick half the time with Figments acting as general cannon fodder, while Hypnagogues from opposing factions are a much more serious and meaningful threat. Car chases in fast sports cars (don't worry about where they came from). Crazy gun battles, martial arts duels, and even magic (in the form of 'dream logic' or 'lucid dream control').

This here is all kinds of fucked-up.

This is not criticism.

This is applause.

I'll second the Dream Pod 9 Silhouette system and will also point to CORPS and EABA (from BTRC) as possibilities.

My collection of weird playing cards progresses apace.
Bog-standard western cards with a unique flare to the shape.

These Korean knock-offs of Japanese "flower cards" are cutting into Nintendo's profits in a miniscule way.

@Gingerlily said in The Board Game Thread:

I LOVE Dixit. The first time I played it was on New Years Eve at a friend's party and I was too champagne addled to understand the rules. The second time I learned it doesn't matter if you understand the rules!

Jesus! I'm supposed to hate you, but you're making it really fucking difficult.

Dixit! is one of the best all-rounder games I've played.

So, I had something made for me.

This is the single most expensive piece of "jewellery" I've ever owned.

It arrived today.

Well, it looks like the Hog Pit is heating up again, so I'm prepared with some of the manliest liquor alive:

What do you mean cabbages aren't manly?!

My recent trend of collecting whimsical Chinese erotica has hit paydirt.

The cover looks so innocent...

...but the contents are OH SO NOT SAFE FOR WORK!

Seriously. Don't follow the second link if you're at work (unless you work at a porn studio or something, in which case maybe you can take notes?).

My phone is a lot more useful now.

Can you explain the use for Yield? Thanks.

The advantage of this over threading is that you have no problems with race conditions and other issues you can face with threading.

Let's call it "fewer" and not "no". Coroutines are easier to get right than preemptive threads but are not a silver bullet.

Republic of Rome.

More horn pendants. It's not (entirely) my fault! Only one of them is actually for me!

This shouldn't stop you from sending it to me anyway.

Do not eat that honey.

Seriously.

Don't touch it.

You'll be spoiled for life against the bland shit from grocery stores.

I say again, do not eat!

Send it to me instead.

That's Catty McCatface that wants play time?

@Caryatid said in RL things I love:

I can't be the only one who clicked those links and thought "but those are all the rear view." My inner 12 year old is strong this morning too.

For me the coin one had me thinking "you know, those look like DIN signage standards for German brothels". I mean we must have "Ordnung" while fucking, right?

So, I'm getting into weird-ass Chinese pendants now.

The first batch are carved ox horn. They are, respectively, a lotus blossom, some weird Buddhist iconography, and the badass warrior god Erlang Shen. (How badass is he? In Journey to the West, after Sun Wukong/The Monkey King pretty much cleans up on all of the heavenly forces of the Yellow Emperor and is close to final victory, Erlang Shen fights him to a standstill.)

These next ones ... aren't particularly SFW after the first image, so I'm not going to actually inline the rest.
#1 front view.

#1 rear view.

#2 front view.
#2 rear view.
#2 with necklace.

He will be Catty McCatface to me for all time.

ITYM Catty McCatface.
