<What happened, Angel?>

<Don't wanna talk about it.>
<Her parents were in a car crash. They're in the hospital.>

"Wait, canons? What do we need canons for?"

"Compensating for Keith's...never mind."

"I be a Pirate. I can aim at a moving vessel!"

"Assuming the relatively short ranges and remarkably slow speeds of old-timey naval vessels."

"Isn't owning one against the law though?"

"Only if it works."

Meanwhile, a large boom resounds throughout the house. Followed by cursing in Ancient Greek. Then silence.

"What?"
Was?

Will chuckles at their confusion.

"If things from outside of creation are attacking, how can we stop them? I mean, we can't just...leave creation and stab them, right?"

"If they can come here, we can go there. It might not be easy, though."

"This is important, if we want to know more about their goal, we have to know who these people were, and why they wanted them."

"They were just like, random people! There was never any like, pattern."

"We'll see about that. Got data on 'em?"

Keith continues to hug Bethany.
"We could have an actual doctor preform a replacement on Beth's heart."

"Probably with the help of Chiron or someone."

Kyle shrugs.
"After that I was thinking of doing something to make a nonmagic version of the bracelets and server for dirt cheap to sell in case the internet gets privatized or what ever and then sell it as an alternative to it."

<...How would you do that?>


Angel hurries into the house and runs around a bit, before finding and hugging Selina.

((Yeah, that he doesn't think things ahead.))

Alright. How would I do Step 1?

Nah, although like many terms originating from periods where we were at war with a given group, it's probably not an ideal one to use.

What do you call people who come from Japan in the modern era?

I'm going to be playing my first Normal game since my first game of Enemy Unknown so I can actually see the new stuff in Enemy Within without spending a dozen hours trying to get a game where I'm not crushed by Thin Mints. Given that I've only played on Classic and Impossible otherwise, this should be...interesting. My best Classic games were when I stepped down from Impossible, so I expect this will be a total annihilation on my part.

Wait, you...you are a much better XCOMmander than I.

Goddammit, why do I keep running out of video memory when I assault the alien base?

What does that even mean?

Graphics cards have their own memory for holding things.
Basically the game is loading too many textures and it can't fit them all into memory. I haven't taken a look into the options menu, but look around for a texture quality option and see if turning it down helps.

It's already on the lowest settings.
GODDAMN IT COMPUTER YOU'RE NEWER THAN THE GAME WHAT THE HELL.

...For some reason, it seems to kick in whenever I switch to Zander. Let's see if I can avoid doing that.
EDIT: Nope.
