My mind. My mind. It boggles. It boggles.

There is a 40+k word Liberal Crime Squad/Familiar of Zero crossover fanfic. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK.

FAKE EDIT: Mother of Zeus it's actually on the forum, too. Mine brain hath gone tilt.

G'night folks, I'm out!

Check just under the durasteel furniture, iirc. It's kinda' easy to miss.

All hail the link monger, monger of links!

Yeessss... I have a stable of Links. Very reasonably priced. Come, let us negotiate. I accept all major currencies. Rupee, rupee, and... rupee.

So anyway, I'm actually out of the loop on American politics at this point, but supposedly Obamacare is now a thing, judging by the bomb shelter my boss built in his office.  Anything I should know about it at this point?

Preeetty sure it still has something like 2-3 months before everything really kicks in. Which is to say it's something like february or march that they start fining and laying tax penalties for noncompliance. Ask again come, like, september or something. Maybe next year. Just make sure you've got some sort of health insurance, in order to avoid penalties. Don't think they're particularly picky, as I recall, but there's credits and whatnot for lower income folks, so... yeah.

...

organ meat?

Today's WTF: Decided to throw up most of the steam inventory's card thingies on the market, because. Well, because. I ascribe no value whatsoever to them, so... why not?

... by the time I had finished putting all of them (less than three dozen) on the market, I had received over a dollar in steam credit. By the time I finished typing this message, almost two. There are days which the human mind is a thing entirely incomprehensible to me.

Farportals are a risk. It's basically as simple as that. I do them when I'm performing particularly well with that character or I don't mind losing it. Of course, since I usually don't mind losing characters, I do them pretty often, ha. Occasionally I'll do them when I'm somewhere in between those two extremes and about to hit a particularly nasty area of the game (before dreadfell ambush, etc.) on the off chance I'll both survive and luck into one of those ridiculous random artifacts that occasionally crop up.

But again, farportals are a risk. Everything that can bite you in the hindquarters with normal dungeons can do so in the farportal twice over. Those bosses are not limited in chassis and always have at least two classes, which is to say you're rolling the RNG that it's not going to generate something like a dream horror oozemancer/something equally vicious. At least the reaver/AB loop got closed, but there's still plenty of combos that can just about flat delete you.

Though things are a lot nicer nowadays. We're no longer at the stage that "immobile" jellies will chase you across the map (with a 0 cd dimension step, ferex) and grind you into paste. Improvement!

All in all, though, I'd recommend doing a lot of them before settling in to a standard farportal usage pattern. Find one's own comfort zone, et al.
