Reminds me of pepsi's "Live for now" (comma implied), just... somehow worse. Good show, I... guess?

Heard a little in passing... words about riots and such, apparently caused by police doing their whole killing thing, again. Haven't looked up any details, though. Baltimore's a long ways away from me, eh.

E: Though looking in to it a bit more, it appears the damage thus far still hasn't matched the last superbowl riot they had there. Very different terminology being used, though :V

We need to go higher! 1080p .swfs, consisting of several layers of varying loops, all of them badly unoptimized and possessing rampant memory leaks. That's the way~

Let's... let's just not start. Please? Leave the ladies of descartian descent to themselves and move the discussion on to other WTFs.

And none of that shady "only after making $100 after cut" BS.
For what it's worth, that's not actually shady at all -- it's pretty common to transfer funds like that for low value/high volume transactions. Saves on a fair amount of administrative costs, which still exist even when electronic processing slims the overhead down significantly.

Folks not being aware of that, on top of the rest of it, definitely contributed to the vitriol that came out, though.

Eh, occasional frat-related bullshit. Panty raids. Pretty sure that started tapering off once it started regularly getting shitheads put in jail or kicked out of school for it.

Too poorly communicated, more like it. That and what you were talking about isn't really all that common in practice, so folks didn't really have much to say beyond confusion (well, and people riding the wat train in a desultory attempt at humor) or the occasional bit of disagreement re: what was happening.

Half thought about piping up with something constructive, but m'actual understanding of the phenomena is insufficient to really say much with certainty, beyond it probably being something significantly more multivariate than you seemed to think it was.

The line is between pros and hobbyists. To rephrase the question, why do indie game devs not ask hobbyists for art, sound, music, and voice?
They do. All the freaking time. So far as I'm aware, significantly more asset creation in indie development is done by hobbyists, generally in exchange for some degree of inclusion on the development team, than it is by professionals who often require up-front costs an indie startup can't afford. Where are you getting the idea that indie devs don't, regularly, send out calls for non-pro aid from?

A scenario well illustrated, honestly. Relatively prolifically, considering the subject.

Air conditioning fixed! Huzzah! It's no longer edging towards 80F (which is what it was over most of yesterday) inside! I can consider playing games again without worrying about the CPU trying to melt (as quickly)!

Yeah, but that would be a pain on everything that's not a forum using JS to insert BBCode. Also I'd have to find out how to do that.
Ehehehe. Well, on opera, it's just a matter of pressing F12 and then a. Toggles it on/off. N instead of a does plugins, e does animated images. Is verra' convenient.

Most stuff actually works pretty alright without JS on, though. I do most of my browsing with it off, just for performance reasons. Most sites aren't shittily designed enough they stop functioning without it, and many many load/function much faster with it off. Is good stuff.

Other browsers seem to take more effort. Firefox looks like it needs an extension or addon or something to do it, and from what I recall IE you need to fiddle with options and whatnot. No clue for chrome since chrome hates my computer and I hate it, thus I've never really used it. Also no clue for the rest of it, because I don't use the rest of it :V

... it would stop the underline thing if you turned off javascript, arx, I do believe.

Heeey. I remember that scene from the manga~

Be joyful things get even better in the future, if you weren't already aware.

Did just totally realize the old dude's habit may have been inherited by the main tsuntsun in that series. Hrm.

Yeah, I've been digging the Anorithil. I'm not high enough level to spew Corona's at everything that lives yet, but I like them thus far, despite their miniature range for a blaster. I was honestly debating the usefulness of the Circles tree until you made me realize they're almost all instant to cast.
Not almost all, heh. They're all instant.

It's worth noting that screeny was made by a dark fae running ID500 and everything's unique, so... yeah. That was actually only like level 40 something, I think? Dark Crypt jumped me at level 34, after I got out the rhaloren camp >_>

Finally getting around to OF with it now, which is to say I'm level 779 on OF 3 and the freaking wolves have like 2k hp :V

Wish I could see what my spellcrit is, though. Know it's high (physcrit's 74, spellcrit should be higher), just don't know how high...

E: Also wish my basically everything didn't do friendly fire. That would help significantly, ha.

E2: Ohey, uniques mod got its charsheet fixed. Huzzah!

Jeez, high level ano-whatsits are kinda' hilarious. I'm digging the "THIS IS MY HOUSE" combo that is spewing all four circles in one go, triggering a cascade of corona shots and rendering the area around the player an unlivable hell, followed by throwing all your other dakka out, popping totality, and then doing it all over again.

It's pretty great. Can see basically jack-all while it's happening, since the stacked circles pretty much whiteout a 5 radius circle around the player,* but it's great anyway.

Ano-whatsits kinda' feel anemic, though. Like they're missing a couple of trees or somethin'. Feel less fleshed out than, say, the archmagi, necromancers, or paradox magi. Maybe about on par with corruptors... I don't feel any real need to be careful with my talent points or whatev', basically. At least part of that has to do with the thing where basically goddamn nothing they have has anything but damage scaling. Very few range/radius increases, often on spells that could really use it (Here's looking at you, mind blast. Why do you even exist?).
