Aye. The swastika's got a fair number of different sources, many of them not particularly related. It's not exactly a complicated arrangement of lines, and cross-type stuff in general is pretty incredibly common as symbols go.

Don't NPCs prevent them from spawning?
In non-expert, anyway. Mostly. I've... kinda' found wyvern spawning suppression to be a bit iffy at times, even in the normal difficulty. Not nearly often enough to be a serious issue, but I've had wyverns come down and screw with me in the middle of a mostly-full NPC barracks before. Probably spawned right on the edge of the suppression effect, far enough away to catch up when I got there or somethin', but still.

Will say that even in expert the NPC monster suppression effect is still fairly effective, though. Functionally you probably won't have much of a problem so long as you get enough NPCs up there before you trigger hard mode.

In all honesty, if trump showed up to debates with a few tribbles taped to his head, I might actually consider voting for the guy.

I... really wouldn't call an overt chemical addiction equal to a psychological addiction. They can both ruin your life, but the mechanics and appropriate treatment are different enough I'd really kinda' say they shouldn't be lumped together in regards to consideration. Spiked lemonaid and pubs really aren't the parallels I'd call good to draw -- your non-video-game equivalents would be stuff like slots or horse races, and probably where you should direct your comparisons.

Addictive games should probably be treated exactly like we treat gambling, because it generally hinges on the exact same things. And... honestly, I'd probably be okay with legalizing age restrictions on any sort of game that heavily relies on ye' old skinner box and whatnot, as opposed to the informal ESRB stuff. We already have vaguely similar financial burdens in place, really, so you'd have equitable treatment of fairly identical entities.

... the last time I had a functioning mobile phone was like... three years ago. Maybe longer. If I'm actually taking a trip far enough away having emergency contact is important, I just bum one off family :V

Honestly, I'm not looking forward to eventually getting another one. I pretty deeply appreciate the emergency utility of the things, but basically everything else is just... irritating. The cost and constant accessibility involved, mostly. Ruddy kids* and their fancy gubbins, they should have a land line and like it, darn it.

*Nevermind that one of my grandparents has a smartphone, now, and a cellphone, and the other nearby one has a cell, too.

Put your magma away, this is actually fairly neat. Hilariously wasteful, particularly time wise, but neat.

That said, since the OP couldn't seem to be arsed to actually say what the zog this stuff is, it's a group of folks that are growing trees into furniture, as opposed to the significantly more time efficient methods we normally use. Kinda' like industrial level bonsai, except used to make furniture. Basically making for fairly unstandardized and organic looking lamps and chairs, so far, with more stuff in the works.

Particularly notable, though, is the apparent lack of prices on the website itself :V

Partially due to them apparently not going into full sell mode until 2017, but probably because they'll be hideously expensive, heh.

True, but those areas have enough guns and crazy mountain people to do something about the rampaging invisible death moose when the time comes. Not worried about the speeding murderbeasts in those areas, worried about the armed people jumped up on bad moonshine.

... well, the mahogany, at least, does have giant trees as well. Though I don't think it has the tool equivalents. They're just, uh. Buried. It's kinda' weird, honestly. But yeah, there's giant mahogany trees in the jungle underground, if you dig around for 'em. They've got chests in 'em.

Because bits of it incarnate as the stuff that does... well, most everything, going by what Japa posted. It's more or less a less finicky version of the trinity, really.

It's not like most of the other major religions have a better deity option, though. I'll take lazy teenager over psychopathic lazy teenager with severe ego issues any day of the week.

excuse moi i'm on 1366x768 and scrolling was not required whom are you attempting to ruse
... there may be some zoom involved. Had forgotten about that. Does mostly fit on one screen without that, but bugger reading these tiny arse letters at default zoom. Gotta' get that enlarge on.

... also, what kind of machine are you using that actually has 1366x768 as a resolution, if you don't mind the answering? This one doesn't even have that as an option :V

1920x1080 has been the common resolution for a while guys.
... 1366x768, actually. Somehow. Was interesting actually checking that.

Highest this clunker even reaches is 1440x900. The ones you put up required scrolling :V

I have seen into the veil of reality and realized that every prepubescent spewing curses at you over voice chat is, in fact, Krishna. All glory to being teabagged by the almighty!

The real question is, why the hell do Brits pronounce lieutenant with an "f" sound?

It's not, actually. Everyone knows their outer covering melts in the summer and they turn invisible. That entire picture is plastered with them -- the actual reason the person's sweating is because they're surrounded by invisible murdermoose.

.rtf is the default save format for wordpad, NJW. Pretty sure that's what you're actually talking about, anyway. It's a windows thing.

Cerapa, it's frere jacques's english translation. Why it's relevant.
