Maybe they were just trying to be charitable? I've met many people that hold that apathy is worse than malice.

Dream brain did it again. Today, the most amazing of things was watching the inestimable Ogre Summoning Spell in action.

The ogre summoning spell consists of grabbing a creature smaller than you and throwing it over a building. Hope that witch had featherfall >_>

There are too many names for brown horses.

Call it Cat and be done with it. Or maybe Hay.

Or It. Gender non-specific pronouns are always a good animal name. One of my favorite pets was named You. Wrong species names are good ones, though, especially when it's a non-herbivore. Sometimes even then. You are what you eat, as they say.

... all I can really do, I guess, is praise zeus I never felt more than light and quickly passing urges to be part of a social circle. Nearly being killed by social-related stuff once or twice when I was a pre-teen apparently helped nip that nonsense in the bud. I don't cringe too much looking back at my old stuff. It's... mostly the same as my new stuff. Just a bit less refined, I guess.

As for wtf, my recent noticing that SC2's arcade stuff went free led me to see about giving it a shot, see if things run,* etc. Which has led to boggling at the first more-or-less current-gen AAA title I've downloaded in quite a few years. Because, you see. It has this thing, where you can start playing before the full download finishes. Which is neat! Except. Well.

It hit "optimal" somewhere between 2 and 3 gigs... out of a 15 gig download. And it runs pretty well at that point. So there's ~3 gigs of game and... 12 gigs of something else. What the hell is going on with this thing? I mean, I realize it's probably graphics/sound related stuff, but. Really? 1:4 ratio of game to other?

*It does! Much better than I expected it to. Which is to say at all. Solo'd to wave 25 or so in rage TD before it became unplayably chuggy! And then I played another five or six waves before giving up.

... on one hand, oppression bad, etc., etc.

On the other hand, part of me can't help but think that a heavily christian influenced china -- especially of the sort that's apparently gaining traction there the fastest -- is among some of the worst possible outcomes we could see. We seriously don't need one of the largest and fastest growing populations in the world joining the sort that actively believes the end of the world is coming and therefore fuck the future. That would quite possibly end up a self-fulfilling prophecy

Not saying China's powers that be are going about it in the right way, but...

Kinda' conflicted on the topic, I am.

Actual reason given was that C's mother had doctory stuff and, being a psychotic nutcase, decided to haul C along instead of some other option.

I looked up Macbeth, which led me to the guy who he was based on, which led me to... this.

That name. That goddamn name. What the hell?

Almond joy has cnuts? Mounds... waaaiit. No, I think that's a good stopping point. Nuts to that.

...

There's not really a way to refer to that name in english that doesn't get come off as innuendo, is there?

... to be something approaching fair, a couple of my relatives, first cousins to one another, did marry each other. Three kids. No major problems that I heard of.

So it's. Still a thing, or something. Probably more of that in the history further back, but these folks are still, y'know, alive and kicking.
