Bay 12 Games Forum

Started playing DF again today. Fired up adventurer mode and got a quest to kill a night creature. I recruited two peasants to serve as cannon fodder and set out in search of glory.
Halfway there we got ambushed by three goblins. The two meatshields ran off to distract a pikegoblin while I moved in to kill it, only to be ambushed by an axegoblin with a halberd. I died within three attacks. For fun, I decided to watch the peasants bite the dust.
All three goblins were slain in an extremely drawn-out battle with two untrained peasants wielding knives. The peasants were dodging most of the attacks and parrying most of the rest. Neither peasant died, though both took some hits. I facepalmed.

It is indeed an excellent show.

The main villain. Even though magic doesn't exist in Real Life, the very idea that someone could touch you and permanently remove a part of your personality - who you are - is universally horrifying. That adds real, legitimate suspense to the show, in a way that many simple stories don't achieve because you always know the villain will be defeated by the hero in the end.

However, in this one, there's so many plot twists that you don't know if Korra or her friends will be brought down to normal temporarily or permanently, you don't know if the main bad guy is going to turn good, that kind of thing. Excellently written show.

Mothbees and their later variants are indeed hellspawn of the worst kind. At least until you fight harpies. Dem bitches are evil.

Yes, tell us!  Seriously man,you can't just talk about awesomeness and not share!

+Infinity!

I found the 'species' game.

I now have dinosaur-like creatures roaming around, slowly going extinct because they have predated most of their prey to near-extinction.

Is this a board game? That was one of the first results I got by googling "species game".

It's funny how happy a $50 space heater can make you. We had to pick one up thanks to the 30+-year-old-furnace breaking down, and the house has gotten steadily colder over the past couple of weeks, to the point where hooded sweaters and slippers were house attire. First day with the space heater and the temperature in the house has already gone up 5 degrees.

Perhaps they're hiding in shame?

Continue getting self and others shitfaced.

Prepare medicines/medbay to treat the inevitable hangovers.

Also, I'm up for pooling our money if it means a better ship.
