Realization you probably need sleep: When "transplane ownership claims" sounds kinky.

Today, I have learned two things.

One: Hurdy gurdies look like trilobites.

Two: They're kinda' awesome.

They'd probably be classified as something else. Interactive fiction or adventure games, usually.

Goddamnit, no. No, go away. Shoo! You don't want to come here, we have mosquitoes! Mosquitoes bigger than your integrity! And the air is like transparent lava half the year! Stay away!

So. I come seeking advice! This being the second time it's happened, pattern recognition says it will likely happen a third time, and a forth, and so on. So I ask: Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do after accidentally* pouring something like a full ounce to ounce and a half of ground black pepper onto a roughly packed-ramen sized meal? Is there any way to, like, save that? Any good options? These two times it's happened I've just been kinda' scraping as much off as I can, but it... it feels wasteful. Food goes away with that massive overkill of pepper.

And yeah, investing in a nice pepper shaker would probably be a good idea. Next time I go shopping, methinks.

*Opened wrong side of the pepper holding thingy and upended it over the food before noticing. Again :-\

And it was delicious. I shit you not, it was the tastiest thing I've had in a long time. Grilled, breaded pineapple on a stick - delicious. WTH, B12?
Breaded fruit in general is pretty good, from what I understand. S'basically what cobbler is, last I checked, just with added sweet stuff.

Yup.

Only requirement is religious law, and infernals can invest culture into priesty stuff just as well as anyone.


E2:I takes it back. Just bulled through an infernal game long enough to get religious law up, and none of my dudecities could build the gate. Shame.

I'd guess that's only the infernals that can't. Astrikah can just fine, at least, as can illians. Maybe it's an ashen veil thing?

E3: Unless someone else beat me to the gate, I guess...

E: Actually, I'm not 100% sure if permanent alliances are even needed. Building the gate puts the angels on your team, which I think operates differently than an alliance? I haven't actually checked, ha.

Homestuck is a webcomic (though there's been games spun off, more or less, from it). We have a thread, though its OP is fairly useless. Google will find you a link to the website.

19673
Hrm. No permanent alliances, huh? Bit of a shame, means you can't go for the hilarity panic option of building the mercurian gate. S'a ton of giggles when you're evil and have that option running.

Should be fine if you're careful about positioning and whatnot, though. S'really easy for that strength measure to wildly fluctuate with a few stupid moves from the AI, hoho.

And yeah, spectres. Their aura is definitely kinda' great. The fear's meh, but that combat strength reduction is golden. Great to have one hanging around for a fight even if the spectre itself isn't being used to attack.

Hang with friends/peers and window shop, for the younger folks, iirc.

I usually browsed the bookstore (if there's one there) if I was stuck there for any length of time. Maybe trundled over to game display things, which I've honestly no clue if are still around these days (it's been years since I've been inside a mall.), and less clue if they ever had them wherever the blazes you are. If they've got, like, massage chair displays (See those, occasionally), you might pop down and take a nap.

There's always people watching, I guess.

I mean, what is that even supposed to be?
... va-va-voom?

Actually, tilting my head at that thing and eyeballing it 10 minutes before midnight is making it look incredibly Freudian. You've got the hourglass stereotype, snake-imagery (possibly Ouroboros-like. Ouroborial?), and then the whole flower thing with all that entails. Rocking some kind of autopollinating female/male dichotomy something or other. Maybe that's Pokemon's idea of a subtle dirty joke?

Plain brown rice, if it's an option. Not the white stuff. It's helped me through a few of the more recent stomach emergencies. Shame it's as annoying to cook as it is, though, and somewhat hard to find decent plain-ish stuff in restaurants, 'least in my neck of the states.

Apparently a hair's breadth from 27 is grognardy now.
... huh. And here I was thinking you were older than me.

Not... not going to say how much younger, mind, but some.

Does feel weird, some days. Back's been more or less shot since I was 18, but otherwise I feel mostly the same as I did when I was 14-6-ish. Weigh a little less, bit more hair (and the beginnings of baldness), but that's about it.

Though yeah, 90s kid means you were born like mid-late 80s, imo. Old enough when it kicked off to remember (or at least conceptually been able to -- I honestly don't really remember much of my younger years.*) the whole decade.

*Or the recent ones, now that I think of it. Half starting to think I've got long-term memory issues, or at least highly selective ones.

... and suddenly there's a plus in the favor of the states. Bad as some of the regional/racial stuff I've seen has been, I've never seen anything like that.

E: Implied subtext: If that's what history and heritage leads to, I'm glad I don't really know jack beyond about two-three generations, and that much only because some of the oldest one was still alive when I was a kid.

*hat tip to Sho* Couldn't have said it better myself.

Seriously, couldn't have. Normally all I can remind folks of is that dog attacks are approx 99.9% owner error and .1% disease, with 0% being natural tendency towards violence.

And yeah, last time I checked it was illegal to own alligators and bobcats due to conservation efforts, not anything to do with the aggression of 'em. Gators are pretty chill when they're young, anyway, and it's not like it's illegal to own various sorts of man-kill capable snakes (... or at least wasn't, when I was a kid with a pet boa longer than I was tall. Dunno if it's changed since. Reptiles in general are honestly pretty easy to deal with if fed well, so far as I'm aware.).

Nobody cares, and chances are that pretty much everyone monitoring the network is either a student worker who doesn't care or a university worker who doesn't care, one because they don't care, the other because it's too much work to care and they're literally never going to be audited.
Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. Still, y'know? Keep that shit at home, or at least in the dorms or sumthin'.
