So first, you type "liquids". This is the secret term for the spawn shell command. Ignore anyone or anything that indicates to the contrary, they are trying to hide the best special commands from you.

Then, move your cursor over the dwarf in question. Hit Enter.

Please note that this command occasionally spawns magma. If it does that just put it over another dwarf and try again.

It always spawns magma. Also, I can't be trusted.

Ha ha, very funny. I've used the liquids and source commands before (trying to extinguish burning clothes with water, for instance). Although, that does give me an idea.

Posted another chapter. Even fewer replies than the last one.

Granted, not much happened, and I said that the 'juicy bit' is coming up next chapter. Maybe they're waiting for that. Yeah. Think positively.

What has been a happy turned into a slight sad, but how quickly it happened is what bothers me the most.

After four months battling writer's block, I finally sat down and wrote the next chapter to my fanfic and posted in on the SpaceBattles Forum. I put in lots of hints about future events in the chapter, enough for people to hopefully start speculating and discussing. The reception after posting was mostly positive, but no one had started to discuss any theories.

People stopped posting after 18 hours, and people viewing reached zero after 24. Even the likes people usually give slowed and finally stopped.

I encouraged discussion wherever possible, but no one wanted to say anything. The little hints I dropped went completely ignored. The potential repercussions of triggering certain events early went mostly undiscussed. Sure, the fic gets a new chapter after four months of silence, and there was plenty of discussion then that lasted several days, but why would enthusiasm dry up so quickly? People need validation to fuel their motivation.

Ugh, maybe I need to drop something more substantial. I can post a link here if anyone is interested in reading a RWBY/Warframe crossover fic.

Two years ago today, the world lost an unfathomably amazing individual.

I miss you every day, Monty Oum.

How the hell DO you pronounce that, anyway? 2:20 is the good bit, but the whole thing is still pretty funny.

Too much empathy.

I can't stop thinking about what other people are going through. I will somehow always find a way to relate to another person's ordeals no matter what they are. I never want them to go through any hardships just as strongly as I never want to experience those same hardships.

I believe my sense of empathy started developing much, much earlier than others my age, and continues to grow to this day. It has gotten to the point of becoming a hindrance, as other people's problems become my anxieties, on top of worrying about myself and the future.

Then I start thinking about those opposite to me; the people without empathy. They must have it easy, as people are probably just tools to further themselves. Considering how gullible most people are, these sociopaths must be incredibly successful, and no one would ever know. I keep wondering if there is anyone I know of who is a really clever sociopath.

Here I am, constantly and genuinely worried over people I have never met. Empathy is dangerous with too little, and debilitating with too much.

This kind of thing only happens to the CPU.

Today is Monty Oum's birthday. He would have been 35 years old.

Go do something, anything, creative today, for yourself, a loved one, the world, or just because you want to. Let your creative spirit run wild, and your greater dreams will be achieved. Maybe not today, tomorrow, or in your own lifetime, but any effort you put into something will forever transcend yourself, for there is no futility, even in death.
Be yourself today, and keep moving forward.
