I have a Firefox account synced on multiple devices. It's really cool that I can bookmark something on my laptop and get home and my PC's Firefox is already updated. The bottom line is never rely on bookmarks on a single machine, always link it up. Pale Moon is a fork of Firefox isn't it? maybe it also works with sync?

But then when I delete all the bookmarks I accidentally imported into a computer at a place I volunteered ("Sign into Chrome" and "Sign into Gmail" look so close), I end up deleting all my bookmarks everywhere :(

They're fixing that soon. I'm not sure when it's supposed to happen (we might have to wait until Oct 23 for the expansion since it's bringing a lot of guild upgrades) but they plan on divorcing guild chat from representing. You'll be able to use /guild1 through /guild5 to chat with up to five guilds simultaneously, and I think at that point representing will only change the acronym after your name.
YESSSSSS so many times yes. Like there was one guild that someone was advertising for LGBTQIA individuals that I thought sounded really awesome, but I wanted to be in another guild for the gameplay stuff so I never repped them. And really I could care less about most things in guilds except for the chat.

I'm having a ton of anxiety today about like absolutely nothing. My leg keeps twitching and my chest feels a bit tight and I don't know why because there is literally nothing that I should be worried about right now. Few more hours of class and then I'm going to curl up in a ball on my bed. Till then, caffinee.
That's... actually kinda worth keeping tabs on. Considering the caffeine remark, might be low magnesium.

Oh, not like muscle twitching but like restlessness and tapping my foot non-stop for extended periods of time. Sorry to cause undue worry!

Man, sometimes I wish I could disable chat and pretend all the games were bot games. Like, I don't get put on tilt when I lose, but you best believe that people being total jerks in the chat will definitely make me lose the match. I can't stand it, like I gave you the lanes I am best at because you asked for them, even though I pick before you, I'm nothing but nice in the chat, especially when other players are having a bad game, and then you feel the need to be a total jerk when I'm not able to shut down a Nasus by myself as a champion you insisted I pick (we can't have an all AD comp, you need to play an AP top). Like sorry I can't play any champ in any lane perfectly >_>

Is there an active Guild for Bay12? I feel like if people are joining for the F2P we definitely would have enough people to warrant it. If there isn't one, just let me know, I can throw one up. I've got a level 80 Engi and a Level 76 (getting there!) Mesmer. I play a bit of everything, PvP and PvE, and spend FAR TOO MUCH TIME doing Jumping Puzzles, if anyone needs a Mesmer port on those just hit me up. QuinnR.8607

Yep, this is pretty alright. Runs decently smoothly, looks pretty nice, the exploring is pretty good to have, and the fighting is certainly more interesting than skyforge; the only things I've had a problem with is the targeting (which feels odd to have the mouse be for targeting only instead of for aiming after having played a bit each of vindictus/tera/skyforge), and having not much of an idea which weapons to actually use for the mesmer and their amusingly useful collection of minions.
I think I usually stick with Sword/Sword and Greatsword (at a certain level you can switch between two sets of weapons instantly). If I'm doing Map Completion, you really need to have either the Focus or a full set of Superior Centaur Armor so that you can have swiftness.

I had one game where I died to an Uruk-hai's poison on the floor before Gehemnom. If you don't have poison resist, it'll happen when you fight things with poison every once in a while. Probably the best mitigating factors would be to a.) eat some unicorns. eat all the unicorns., b.) eat corpses that give poison resist. poisoned corpses that give poison resist won't instakill you, but they will reduce strength till you have a horn and c.) avoid those fights

Note that killing certain unicorns is a Very Bad Idea™.  But that's another learning experience.

Incidentally, eating Medusa's corpse has a 100% chance of giving poison resistance.  It also instakills you by stoning and gives you the cannibalism intrinsic, so it is also a Very Bad Idea™.

That's what dogs are for!

And the whole Medusa level is probably where I'm the most careful in the entire game. Like, not only have I died to Medusa too many times, but those eels have a nasty habit of destroying everything I hold dear and then drowning me shortly after.

Guild Wars 2 base game just went free-to-play.
GW2's communication with the players has been shady lately. Like, they've been so manipulative and withholding information in order to drive pre-sales for the expansion :( They obviously were planning this for a while, so the whole "LOOK YOU CAN GET THE BASE GAME FOR FREE WITH THE EXPANSION!" I don't think needed to happen :/

I returned in Nethack after a several hours' break. Before it I picked up a kitten in Sokoban again hoping to get it polymorphed into a hellhound for another time. I had not walked too far from Sokoban (literally several steps) when some f*cking giant spider poisoned my character and the poison proved deadly. He died in an eye blink basically because of nothing! That run was really promising... :( Dissecting all of my previous defeats, I think this one was the most unavoidable and ambiguous. I feel soo frustrated and angry, how do I overcome this?

Also I noticed that my character typically dies
(1) on his way from Sokoban to the lower dungeon levels and
(2) on his way from Sokoban to the mines in order to get a pickaxe to break a rock which got stuck due to my blunder or some monster happening behind it.

So a club I'm in was doing a fundraiser by selling grilled cheese to drunk college students on the streets in the city. Then like out of nowhere about 20 cop cars (not even exaggerating) come and just fill the entire block next to us, and block off the street. We decided it was time to split, but I just really want to know what happens that causes that many people to show up. Didn't hear any gunshots, I can't think of anything but like them breaking up a party. Still, crazy.

I don't think that anyone has ever confirmed that Garnet would not be accepted in Gem Society, but the song makes that seem to be the case. Also, Amethyst gets shoved to the back, as usual.

No it has been pretty confirmed. There are exactly two episodes that deal with it.

And Amethyst getting shoved into the back I think has more to do with her personality. She is interesting but can get rather grating.

Hey how to have my pet attack monsters? It often lets them go even if they threaten my char.

If the pet has too low health and thinks the enemy is too strong for it, it won't attack. Pets gain health when they eat corpses.

Posting to watch.

You'll do it for her~

Any other Lars fans out there?

@Extended Opening: WHOA WHOA WHOA, there's some plot here. I don't think that anyone has ever confirmed that Garnet would not be accepted in Gem Society, but the song makes that seem to be the case. Also, Amethyst gets shoved to the back, as usual.

:c

I think they're doing free server transfers for a while?

I think that's only going to be for people going from other servers to US...I would send a message in to support, though, I bet they could help you out if you complain that it's because of the server move.
