Much better than 2.4, though. Or less.

I still remember downloading for a literal week something roughly a 10th (iirc) the size of XCOM:EU. Only to find out it was a trailer, instead of the actual program I was after.

That was a helluva' feeling.

I have to admit, my mindset going into RoR quickly devolved into "hack infinite money, riot" >_>

Magicite hasn't tempted me to hit it with cheat engine nearly as hard. I think part of it's the control, but the other part may be that the limitations on what you can haul off with you during action bits in magicite are much less... something. Arbitrary isn't quite the right word, but with RoR you have to, like, grind (and make the game harder) or leave stuff to rot. Magicite, the only thing stopping you from hauling everything off is inventory limitations or maybe not having the right tool. And that's less. Irritating, I guess? You don't have to choose between neat toys (to the extent M has neat toys, anyway) and shooting yourself in the foot.

Plus Magicite in bat-hat mode is waaaay faster in terms of movement and mobility. I like the bouncy feel, in comparison. RoR had pretty solid mobility options for most of the classes, but they were all on fairly limiting cooldowns and whatnot.

Lies, siru. Division is multiplication, too. /4 and *.25 is the same thing *flails*

Actually, we could probably get rid of the subtraction, as well. Add negatives instead.

Which really borks things, I guess. Pema? Pema's good. Or that bima thing.

... isn't bima a pen or something?

Bracket, Exponent, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Substraction.
Also know as parenthesis, exponent, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction. Pemdas: Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally. Why you silly european people break a perfectly good mnemonic I have no idea.

Roughly after my grandparents die and I rustle up enough money to flee, yes. Family and fiscal issues are the only things keeping me here. Might wait until all education is complete, but... probably not.

I can feel moisture.
And by that I mean that if I go anywhere with less moisture than 'tropical rainforest' my throat feels horribly dry and I feel short of breath.
Ha. Yeah, being out in the desert that one time was great. I could actually breath for once in my life. Humidity bends my lungs over its metaphorical knee and violates them with a not so metaphorical spiked bat.

Like, an actual living bat, studded with metal spikes and doped up on a combination of PCP and rage. In my lungs. Writhing.

Hate this state so very much.

Or can look upward.
Yeah. Yeah, look up into the bright shining sky.

And then 10 minutes later get a facefull of torrential downpour, sun still gleaming merrily.

Looking up isn't very good at sensing the weather, in my experience. Sometimes not even in the immediate present. There's been days I've been able to stand under the open sky, look up and get no-rain, etc., and reach out to my left and get a fistfull of skywater, with my right side perfectly dry. Dry as it gets in florida humidity, anyway. And looking up and reading the clouds, in regards to near-future weather is... sporadicly accurate, from what I've seen.

Or can feel the moisture and pressure in the air
Maybe that works better in different areas, I'unno. Moisture in Florida is pretty much always "Yes." Pressure is a better indicator, but it's not uncommon to get days worth of high pressure with nary a drop of rain, and shifts can be pretty subtle even without the weather patterns being a troll. And even then, shifts of that sort can mean different things in different places... gotta' hang around a joint for a while to really get a feel for that stuff.

Being able to sense the weather is perfectly normal nowadays.

Unless you mean without consulting the mighty oracular search engines. In which case, yes, you and your family are either freaks or have experienced notable physical trauma in their lifetime.

Or are old. Either/or.

I haven't found a way to actually change the hotkey in a sane way, but there is a Firefox addon which disables it.
Firefox's help pointed to this.

What the hell, though. Hotkey customization not part of the built-in functionality? Firefox confirmed for junk browser. Opera stands supreme. Again.

why would you even do that argh

18850
If the browser is worth a damn, you can rebind that sort of hotkey to either nothing, or something you wouldn't accidentally press.

Checked my magic fridge garlic again.

It's getting larger, and the leaves are becoming more pronounced.
Soon, the garlic will challenge you to a game of riddles. Do not immediately accept. Wait for a day, then return with a dollar coin minted no later than 1980. Offer the garlic the coin -- it will refuse twice, and accept on the third attempt. Then, and only then, may you accept the garlic's challenge.

But beware. Failure will cost more than you are willing to give, and victory will gain you naught but a fresh clove of garlic. Refusal, however, will cost more than you know. God speed, MC, and good luck. You'll be fine, though. It's a clove of garlic. They're terrible at riddles.

Poledancing economic consultants is a horrible idea, as good economic sense and paying to watch pole dancing are pretty mutually exclusive.
No, no, at that point in the thought process it would be the employees poledancing. As well, anyway. Instead of chairs around a table, there'd be poles.

It actually sorta' fits into the whole health initiative thing going on. They got people on treadmills doing accounting these days and junk. This'd just be a sort of skewed!logical next step. You'd have very healthy executives if they could give reports while twirling a few feet off the ground. Also very competent if they could pull off good management and productive meetings at the same time.

Damnit, internet. And damn you tax organizations. You are to blame with naming federal unemployment FUTA and making my mind go odd places every time I have to account for FUTA Payable and FUTA Expenses.

On the other hand, I think business would be much more interesting if reality mirrored acronyms in this case. Because nothing makes a business meeting more interesting than a bevy of futa exotic dancers.

Though on the other, other hand, that would be a horrible waste of an expense account. Unless they were also trained economic consultants? I mean, it's not really that far of a stretch, thinking on it... had a cousin that paid for her degree mostly through dancing.

And now I'm wondering. Would the world be better or worse if being able to give a financial report while pole dancing was a high value skill? I'm thinking better, myself.

Melee wise, it's made getting hits in on chargers and swingy-stuff a lot easier for me... you've got a much wider* window to get your swing in, because you can get out of the way a lot easier. Like... you can stay in melee range longer than you can otherwise, because the dash has an easier time getting you out of the way of danger. Has also made meleeing flying junk a lot less dangerous... you can't really back up fast enough with some of 'em to keep from getting hit without dashing, and it's a lot more difficult with the normal dash. Makes in-and-out much easier, basically. The out part, anyway. And in, once you get particularly used to the dash distance... though that's a lot riskier.

Or rather, yes, you have to get close, but you usually don't want to stay close -- and the bat hat lets you control how close you are much better than any other hat.

Similarly, if the scourge or something has come and it's time to get out of dodge, the dash makes it hella' easier to bounce through whatever remains of the level.

It's just... I'unno if it's just me, but I spend more time dodging around in this game than anything else (except maybe crafting/gathering), and bat hat makes dodging ridiculously more fluid. Normal dash just doesn't have enough oomph for me to really get much out of it.

*Well, relatively much. It gives me like an extra second or something. Which doubles or better the available window, sometimes...

Guess I should wear cologne, then.
Please don't.

Or, at least, if you do, do so responsibly. Other people's lungs will thank you.
