Well, you see, when a priest loves an amulet of the dead very, very much... well. Stuff happens, and then longdead! It's a mysterious process fraught with peril and bone splinters in uncomfortable places.

Kudos, though, mini. It's thanks to you that our side outlasted all but one of the other teams :V

Sweet zeus he's unironically spewing evopsych. Not even the gods can save him now.

Ah, finally got through. "Only" took about six hours! Also turned out I only had three eligible games... exactly one of which really runs of this computer :V

Still. Is done. Guess I'd recommend refreshing every hour or two. Seemed to work.

... what I didn't know was that the behavior was a actually limited to those three. Thought all the bullet-kin style enemies could, given a chance. Wiki definitely suggests it is, though.

Have any of you experienced this, or heard of it happening? I'd like to discover what made it 'click' at that time, because I've tried to repeat it as of lately to no avail.
Cognates are wonderful, wonderfully deceptive, things. Etymology in general, when it comes down to it. It's faaaaiiirrrly likely (i.e. almost entirely certain) you actually misinterpreted great swaths of the test, just not badly enough to effect the its outcome too terribly much.

Done similar things m'self a number of times. There's a lot of test (and otherwise, really) formats out there you don't particularly have to entirely understand the question, or the language, or... well, much of anything... to still get a good run of correct answers.

So its less 'You can take a break now' and more 'GO TAKE YOUR BREAK NOW.'
Yeah... pretty sure at some point, some organizations got tired of dealing with workers comp claims due to overwork. Also union stuff, o'course. And some of them actually listening to the time/productivity optimization folks that had the (completely un)startling revelation that giving workers the occasional break meant their performance amazingly didn't degrade as quickly. Buncha' reasons, really. So the breaks became mandatory!

There's ways around it, mind. Usually it's not breaks at a certain time so much as at least X breaks per certain hours of work (functionally it ends up as at a certain time just due to scheduling, but still). If the person in question doesn't meet the time requirements, and just happens to have a replacement come in right when it's about time for a break, weeeeellllll...

The manga's pretty great. Start from the beginning and enjoy the ride.

Still haven't gotten around to watching any of the anime, though, personally.

Due to high demand this may take longer than the games are available to get in this way.
Yeeaaah, it's kinda' looking like that. Can't seem to actually see when stuff starts timing out, unfortunately. Anyone able to share when y'start losing access?

Oh hey, that's kinda' neat. Also neat is the message on failure has changed in the ~hour since I last tried it. "Due to exceedingly high demand this may take up to several days, please check back later. Thank you for your patience." Ahahaha.

As was the massive flurry of articles claiming that Trump would never release where the millions of dollars he raised for veterans' organizations would go, then went out of their way to bash it anyway when he did. The media is dishonest as all hell about both Trump and Sanders, and nearly everyone who's been paying attention has worked that out. I could spend half an hour posting links to ridiculous hit pieces on both of them, but I'm going to bed.
You must really hate how the media's been treating clinton for the last couple of decades, then. Trump and Sanders have barely even scratched the surface of the media's vacuous hate-news machine compared to what's been done about her over the years, and that stuff ain't exactly slowed down this election cycle.

... though I'd be pretty wary about anything involving trump and money, honestly -- the initial media scrutiny regarding those donations didn't strike me as particularly out of line. Dude did make a good chunk of money basically being the legal equivalent of a scam artist, and there's not really any way to reframe that to be more positive. Plus he's literally said part of the reason he's running is because people like him need to be kept a better eye on, vis a vis regulation and whatnot, and that he's basically a big enough scumbag to know where all the loopholes are. You keep someone with his history well in sight and rode hard when it comes to fiscal anything. Keep any politician such, really, but ones o'trump's mien in particular.

Mentioned checking them above a bit. I'd... kinda' disagree, heh. Thing I'm looking for more than anything is just a lack of blisteringly bad decision making, somewhere or another. SB didn't really meet that requirement, or at least their attempt at vampire counts didn't. Maybe 'is LPs are good by some metric or another, but they're not by the ones I'm evaluating by.

This'un's actually the least offensive I've found so far, at least dwarf wise, I think. They're still not particularly good, by any means, but they're not having quite so many moments that are painful to watch (to me, who can't play the game, anyway), and they're not particularly blatantly/constantly absentminded. Still's hurt in places, but... bearably.

... my standards have been steadily eroding since I started looking for LPs some days ago. I think I'm learning that Total War is... apparently a really bad franchise for LPs, competence wise.

Still, thanks for th'rec regardless. S'appreciated, even if I've already checked 'em.

Better than laughter does, usually, near as I've been able to tell. Tragedy sells like hotcakes.

Of course, the real thing you do is figure out what proportion of each gets optimized amount of income, rather than focusing on one or the other. Might as well do both and suck the teat of both markets!

Still looking for a decent playthrough. Pretty sure I just saw some serious shit, but I wanted to check in and make sure this wasn't some kind of deep and faintly unfathomable strategy I just don't get because I haven't played.

Dude was playing dwarf campaign. Razed the Pillars of Grugni on turn 3. Didn't even hesitate, just saw the options and burnt it to the ground.

I immediately stopped watching, but... was that somehow a good idea?

To respond to Frumple's posts:

He didn't slip through. He didn't slip through. He didn't slip through.

He climbed over. The fence is supposedly only three feet high, but still "exceeds standards."
Fair enough. That... kinda' makes it worse, though. That's a hell of a lot harder to miss.
