I use a layered image on gimp. The base map in bottom layer, then unit icons, then status indicators. The image is kept in the native xcf format and a PNG exported whener the turn updates is used on the forum.

That's also what I used for my EoD game.

[Flying Dice]

Yep, the layered image is the easy way.

I'm honestly surprised that nobody has made something in the vein of a 2D chess game board, except as a battlegrid, with blank tokens you can paste images into for tokens, or flat colors for AoEs (in the place of the chessmen). That's basically what the image tinkering simulates in an excessively tedious way.

How halls sugarmints make that cold feel in your mouth? If you breathe with mouth, while you have one such sugar mint inside, you would get feeling of winter, srsly.

[Arx]

They contain menthol, which chemically activates cold-sensitive nerve endings, I believe.

Yep. It feels cold because, to your brain, it literally feels like having something cold in your mouth since the same receptors are triggered.

Is there any way to link to a specific moment of a show/movie on Netflix?  To someone who also has Netflix.
(Been watching It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, where there are no spoilers, and so many clips I'd love to share)

Anyone know of any good B-movie quality horror movies that are either on Netflix or are in the public domain?

I know a lot.
For starters, watch Brain Dead/Dead Alive on Netflix. It's amazing.
Then there is The Toxic Avenger, Class of Nuke 'Em High and a whole host of other Troma films available on Youtube. I haven't watched nearly as many of them as I should have, but Nymphoid Barbarian In Dinosaur Hell is a good, very surreal watch (the title is incredibly misleading), and Rock And Roll Space Patrol is amusing, if only to laugh at how badly made it is.

I also have to recommend Rubber on Netflix, but it's not exactly a horror film. It is a must-see, though. It changed my life.

...That's all I can recommend right now, I need to go do stuff and/or sleep. Troma's YT channel is a real treasure trove of B-Grade goodness, though.

Rubber is the best movie. Also one of the very few Dadaist films out there made recently.

Is mariachi still popular in Mexico, or is it like jazz or 50's rock music in the USA, where everyone knows that it's American, but it's mostly a niche choice as far as actual listening?

[Arx]

everyone knows jazz = American

Wait, really?

[Helgoland]

Mostly, yeah. All the classics are American, at least.

[Frumple]

It's one of the few distinct musical styles that have actually originated from the states, yeah.

Not really niche listening, though, especially the smooth stuff. It's almost omnipresent as background/elevator music in the US.

[Arx]

Mostly, yeah. All the classics are American, at least.

Huh. Culture difference, I guess. Jazz in Africa is a big thing, so mostly when I listen to jazz it's not American, although a lot of the really famous jazz musicians are American, now I think about it.
