It must've been one hell of a markov chain generator. I've never seen one make any kind of coherent narrative at all in the past, or properly place both quotation marks around dialogue.

I propose we call this Level .5 Philosopher Zeno's paradox. If free actions take up no time, do they even happen?

Still better than rolling for enunciation, though.

I distinctly recall being terrible at Mafia, but I'd love to get back into it sometime. It looks like all the current games are full, are there any new ones planned soon?

It bothers me when characters mysteriously disappear when their role in the plot is over with. I don't mind when they disappear for plot reasons, of course, but when a character just disappears for no reason it makes me twitch a little.

Take Pokémon Sun and Moon (the originals, I haven't played the remakes yet,) for example. I don't mind when [Lillie leaves at the end of the game.] It's sad, but they explain it and make a point of it. But it irritates me when, after you fight [Guzma] in the postgame, he stops existing (unless you're playing Moon, but even then he's just a Battle Tree partner.) He was crucial to the plot, and yet he just disappears with no fanfare or explanation? I don't even care if he just stands in one spot and repeats one line of dialogue, I want to be able to stop by and say hello!

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is another example of this kind of thing. The Sages seem to exist exclusively in cutscenes after you rescue them. You can't drop by Kokiri Village and talk to Saria, you can't talk to Princess Ruto after finishing the Water Temple, you can never even speak to Rauru because he never even appears outside of a cutscene in the first place.

Ah, I see. Thanks.

I just realized that ß isn't a weird "B" that sounds like an S. It's the old long S joined to a short S.

I can't seem to change my avatar. Any address I put in the box besides the one for my current avatar causes the option to be reset to "no avatar".

Check that the address you're using is to the image itself and not just a page containing it. It should end in a file extension such as .png, .gif or .jpg for it to work properly.

Aye, I've been making sure it had the file extension on the end. I even tried different file extensions and different websites. :/

Ah, I got some news a while back, thankfully. Apparently an infection on her leg worsened significantly following a small heart attack, and she was a little on the edge for a while. She's stable now after taking some antibiotics and things are looking much better.

Still a little scared, but my worst fears did not come :v
