I'll admit I haven't watched, like, any of any of the getter robo animated material, but from what I understand from SRW, hasn't the getter robo stuff always been a cosmic horror story? Getter rays are some wonky junk.

Dream brain, I'm not quite sure why you had a sci-fi short story as part of a lawyer's legal notes, but... thank you, I guess? I've already mostly forgotten it, but that was pretty neat.

Hey, don't diss on spreadsheets like that. A properly setup one is very user friendly and intuitive to use. Implying they're necessarily as bad as aurora is just misguided

To be fair, a MOBA is, by definition, a DOTA clone. They'd still be called DOTA clones if whatever marketing dept. didn't make up the new term.

They're all AoS knockoffs. Including DotA. Especially DotA, since it's largely the one that shat all over the genre with ossification poo to begin with. People were actually trying fairly interesting things for a while, then DotA bots came in and crapped all over WC3's custom maps scene and that was basically the beginning of the long twilight of AoS we're still humping around in.

One day, a bright dawn will come, and people will realize the massive untapped potential of the game style. That day is not this day.

Didn't you know, neo? Lex isn't just in an anime, lex is in every anime. He's the main love interest. Always. Flesh suit of a lovestruck harem member, heart of a tall bald man bent on world conquest. Plans within plans. Plans. Within. Plans.

He just happens to have a role outside of disguise in that one. Incredibly versatile actor and crossdresser, though. The great unknown talent of animated media.

Nah, in your case it'll probably just get worse :V

Really, from what I understand (and barring outliers like runaway methane poisoning the atmosphere or somethin') the major thing to expect on a local level isn't going to be a notable increase or decrease in temperature (though that is going to happen in some places), it's going to be a notable disruption in previously consistent weather patterns. We're looking at increased and increasing meteorological instability more than just about anything, in the relative short run. If you're seeing unseasonal weather, well... that's one of the predicted incoming effects. Some places are going to get colder as the global temperature rises, or have their seasons more or less shift. Which should be frankly goddamn terrifying, but I guess cranial/silica embracement is comforting to some people.

You can also expect stronger storms in a lot of places and the good ol' sea level rise (we're seeing pretty strong indications it's going to be notable this year, actually -- we're having either record matching or record breaking arctic melt at the moment, iirc), growing desertification, and just a whole host of things that are, well, showing every indication of happening.

I'll admit, I still get the occasional urge to make a genuine stripped down version of T4 that's nothing but ascii and maybe a few small generic particle effects. The actual game code is only like 40 megs, with the rest being graphical or musical frippery (that I, personally, mostly don't give a damn about). It'd be really nice to have a -nographicsormusic version.

More complicated than it looks on the tin, though, and the last couple of tries were beyond my skill and patience. One of these days, maybe...

E:
E2: And at level 165, dreadfell is finally complete. Time to roll all over the ambush.

E3: Level 187, finally eat a death. Died to a chronomancy using skeletal master archer that somehow managed to permanently clone itself, like, three times, and was managing to make dozens of turns pass for me without me able to do anything, but still doing damage to me. I think because talents were failing and block was on auto-use, heh.

E4: I shouldn't have gone back DX
E5: Wow, the infinite dungeon really is the gift that keeps on giving. Admittedly, I was doing the silly thing of clearing out a ID vault (some sort of greater undead thing, fairly sizable, secret doors and junk), but I just ran into the Greater Mummy Lord on ID 7. Character level 15. GML's at 33. Wheeeee.

I was doing so well, too... did eat a death early in the vault to a ruin banshee that killed me on the same turn I killed it, but managed to off another one without dying, as well as a couple of bone horrors and a sanguine, along with your standard greater undead sundries. Mostly cleared the place out, even. Time to run away, though~
