... but the crowns don't really... do, anything? Just a means of, what, social stratification in the hereafter or...? Sounds kinda' distasteful, honestly...
How the zog do you reward more someone that has heaven, anyway? Isn't that supposed to be the infinite reward, right there?

... so what's bad about it?
Hadn' heard of it, but looking at it, it seems to have an interesting premise. Also looks like a shitty flash game, though.
M'guessing by knights of the D20 you mean Knights of Pen and Paper, neo? That actually explains a lot, right there.

Prophecy?
Kinda' like how the Beetles predicated Sonic the Hedgehog by a while, just less prescient.

« on: April 30, 2015, 08:45:03 pm »I'd advocate a Marxist perspective here: It really is all about economics, even if the affected people don't realize it.I'd recommend a Bloody Obvious perspective here: It's a multivariate problem that has root causes in several different things, with no single sufficient cause. Economics is one of them (and a ruddy major one), but just solving that isn't going to solve all the rest of it. Help, yes, and significantly, but that's just part of the process, not its entirety.

Here's some fairly interesting insight on the causes of the Baltimore situation, actually. Bit of a read, but it seems to be a pretty decent one.

And apparently rather happy about it, yes.
I guess it could be a tattoo?

Well, that's certainly more than the 2k the company offered. Think I hope they settle, though -- I'm not sure if the case could actually get through a court. Texas is one of those at-will states, and abhorrent as th'company's actions were m'fairly sure it doesn't constitute discrimination against a protected class 
On the other hand, it going to court could cost popeye's a fairly significant penny, both in court costs and public opinion, so I'd tentatively wager a settlement of some sort isn't entirely unlikely. Who knows how much less it'll be, though...
Best of luck to her either way. As you say, T, most of the time companies only really sit up and pay attention when you kick them in the wallet.

No... no, they can conceive of it. I've seen average white folks sat down and explained through things, and for at least a little while they understood. They just don't want to, or aren't exposed to it enough the idea really sinks it. Not much of a functional difference, I guess, but... it's not like the folks in question can't understand. They've made themselves a lot of (bullshit) reasons not to, but the capability is there.

Ensoul every sandwich for the rest of forever, yupyup. Especially ones made with factory grown livestock. Only thing better than suffering at improving taste is suffering with a soul :3
Or just get a soul-hose, shove that thing right into your craw and eat the stuff like liquid cotton candy piped directly from the beyond.

...
Today I learned that ID500 apparently caps out at character level 200. Thank you, uniques mod.
Or maybe it'll open up again once I actually get to the infinite dungeon, dunno. Currently... currently on dreadfell 3.
Also I'd like to state for the record that a level 200 dark fae with 20/20 Powers of the Dark is, uh. I have +1390% all damage. That scales by 2% every percent of health I'm missing. Also +225% combat speed! It's good stuff. Between it and one of my class sustains, my attacks are coming in at 15% weapon speed, so, y'know. About six swings per turn.
Big numbers abound. Stuff's still able to kill me, too, which is amazing :3
E: AHAHAHA, YES! Counter-skullcracker lead to a 188k damage hit ♥
