Bay 12 Games Forum

Choose your own adventure games being roll to dodge or are there actual games like that?

This was from, like... hours and hours ago, but whatever. If you want to get a glimpse (and by glimpse, I mean most all of it, online, with the original author's blessings) at one of the better CYOA series, check this thread.

It's worth noting that CYOA games, originally done in print format, are older than you are, Cryx. They're also older than me, and most people on the forum. We're talking 40s, 50s, with notable popularization starting in the 60s or thereabouts, iirc. They've been around for a while.

There's also freakish bucketloads of them online (often ran as some variation of text adventure), and we've got at least one LP that started recently.

Yeah, "small" fine, sure. Now that the bills are coming it in it doesn't look that fucking small at all, I'm afraid. My mother, whom I was just getting to come around from a right-wing party line, is being smacked with a $2000 fine come tax day, and she makes almost nothing to begin with.

That's... odd. First year fine's just... $319, iirc (at least that's what I was informed of by the healthcare.gov folks), or thereabouts, and waived entirely for folks under a certain income level. If she makes almost nothing already -- specifically, if her income's low enough she isn't legally required to file taxes -- there's no fine. Or shouldn't be, anyway.

If it's 2k, either something else is going on or things are substantially different in NC.

Though a 2k fine is still cheaper than the monthly costs of most insurance policies they're offering down here in FL, bleh.

I don't know if it'll ever be resolved, but he claimed he could get all but one of us out of the room using only the portable hole he pretended was his handkerchief. I still don't know how...

... stuff everyone in the portable hole, have a familiar take it and jump into the dragon's mouth, hope digestion occurs outside of lair?

+1. I have seen into the future, and love makes us suave. Can. Something.

... mooost that involve female deaths. The death cries of women in games are, uh. Things. It's only been in the last year or two I've started actually noticing it, myself, but it's more than a little offputting once that happens and it's basically freaking everywhere.

Eh, you'd turn it into pics and then into an .html/.cbr (depending on how you go about it) file, apparently. It'd take a lil' bit of effort if there isn't some program out there that automates the process, but meh.

Looks like the current best method is to convert the .pdf into something readable by Vita's comic book viewer app, at least without getting into fancier mucking about.

There might just be browsers for the vita, too? If so, conversion into .html and uploading somewhere or somethin' would probably work, too... 'course, if you've got a browser on the thing there's always online junk.

... so it's like every other modern news site in the existence? I've yet to see one of those that didn't look like someone decapitated a web designer, shat down their neck, buried the corpse in a dung pile, waited for toad to lay an egg in the mess, and then put whatever came out the egg through a blender and willfully de-optimized the results.

Damned things usually crash the goddamn browser if javascript and plug-ins aren't disabled. Half of them crash 'em anyway, the diseased shitspawns. *mumbles something about litany of journalistic hate*
