... why in the name of zeus would they re-hire someone that does that? Does whoever does the hiring not know?

And as long as it doesn't hinder the gathering of accurate knowledge.
Everything about us hinders the gathering of accurate knowledge. We're fleshy sacks of imperfect biology that gives freakishly flawed data at every moment, from brute inaccuracies in our sensory data to the varying interfering aspects of our means of interpreting it. That is no more reason to disparage someone than their existence is.

Said again: So long as you're good to one another, your delusions are completely freaking irrelevant. It's only when they start harming those around you that it becomes an issue.

These people are delusional
Most people are delusional. So long as they still act decently toward other humans, particularly outside of the internet, their delusions are fairly irrelevant. Starseeds, crazy voyeurs in the sky, justice as an existent instead of created thing... whatever. So long as good to one another, it doesn't matter.

Perhaps try closing eyes. Or facing away from the light. Or some kind of blindfold -- corner of pillow over head works. So would the sleeve of a long sleeve shirt. Or a sock. Etc., etc.

Alternately, tape. Y'know, the kind that isn't clear. And blocks light. Can't reach? Roll tape into tube shape, sticky part outwards. Put bottom on point of stick, lightly. Put top on wi-fi light, less lightly. Problem solved.

Probably show up, I suppose. Assuming nothing happens to prevent it.

4th is fine, too. What matters is not edition, but that people come together for fantasy violence time. Carpe goblin heart. And their gold. And the surrounding landscape. What I'm saying is the campaign's not over until you've decorated a small town with pilfered lich skulls.

And whenever you catch up to it, you're going to remember what I said here and want to strangle me for the worst of crimes.
... it took me a minute to get that. That is, indeed, an absolutely terrible pun. *gives FD some scoops of ice cream as a reward* because frumple can play that game, too :3
E: Ah, right. And to keep the recs coming: This thing! Fairly nicely done DC comics SI. E2: Ah, though the presumably requisite warning that there's some (non-explicit -- it is on SB -- non... anything, really. It's kinda' weird.) bisexuality involved.

Well. You could. Modding or memory hacking, simple manipulation TAS style as well.

I somehow doubt you're maliciously going in and preempting the RNG to spite your brother, though. Maybe you should?

So we've got Fire against and Air for. How do Earth and Water vote?
Water is a definite for. Earth probably something of an abstain vote -- on one hand, dirt and whatnot. On the other, mud wrestling.

Wood would be a definite against vote (twigs, twigs, freaking everywhere), but metal would be a definite for -- more places to put shiny things with long hair. Tally comes up to two against (FWo), three for (AWaM), and one undecided (E). No supermajority, and so we shall leave it up to personal preference instead of inquisitorial mandate and enforcement.

However, we all know in our hearts that AWaM takes it by virtue of being the better sounding abbreviation cluster.

I have to admit, I've never felt quite that sort of feeling when I say screw it and go open gamefaqs 'cause this crap ain't worth the time. But to each their own, yeah.

Dishabille?
Quote
Dishabille - Merriam-Webster Online
www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dishabille‎
1 : the state of being dressed in a casual or careless style. 2. : a deliberately  careless or casual manner.
Bedroom hair, windswept, seductively casual, all that sort of stuff. The fancier sexier word for it. Eyebrow waggle and/or wink and nudge untidy.

And empowerment! Fatigue/gem cost fortunately isn't pegged to caster level, so you can at least add some control there.

And I guess they'd still have that combat use where you burn excess? Can't that increase power or somethin'? Been a while since I checked the mechanics on that.

But yeah, doing that mass change is... it's annoying. And somewhat fiddly. And more effort than it was worth, at least for me. If someone else wants to crib down debug mod or somethin', I'd be cool with it. Be nice if you could decouple gem cost and forging paths, though.

If man was meant to have long hair, man would look good with long hair.
^ In which dutchling proudly asserts the aesthetic superiority of posing pouches and surgical augmentation.

Because that's a thing. Looking good == directly proportional to looking tidy.
Except when it isn't, anyway. Artful dishabille has been a thing for a long, long time. Though I guess "a" thing instead of "the" thing does leave room for that...

Lies.

Man was meant to have short hair.
If man was meant to have short hair, it would not grow long.

You're perfectly welcome to indulge in sickening unnatural habits like cutting your hair, but don't speak such duplicitous words as to say it's a thing meant to be. Biology disagrees.

It's further back in the thread. Mostly combat spells and non-combat rituals. Doing items too would have been too much effort :P Also a few versions back, so some of the new stuff isn't free but eh, it was a half-arsed effort to begin with.

Though, more accurately, no spells cost fatigue to cast, which is part of what makes the combat ridiculous. Dunno if the mod functionality has decoupled fatigue from gem cost since I made the mod, but it wasn't when I did. So I just set most everything's fatigue to 1 and called it a day.

... but yes, no spells cost gems to cast. Mostly. Items still cost gems, to the extent that matters when you're no longer burning gems on rituals and combat magic and can blanket the entire map with akashic knowledge. And summon geometrically growing amounts of sea/troll kings. Well... gold's an issue, with those, but eh.
