Bay 12 Games Forum

Seeing as there's no thread up for this, I thought I may as well start this.

There's a few threads related to steam trading over in Other Games, actually. Looks like one specifically for card trading, then a couple of other ones. Probably be best to move th'thread over there.

We've got plenty of queens in the states.

If it's the state's queen, though, that probably means it's not in texas. Unless it's... Austin? Or is it Dallas that you're less likely to get shot for cross-dressing?

Did the last time I used it, anyway. And yeah, dwarf therapist is a kinda' massive aid to relieving some of the UI issues. DFHack helps a lot too, for stuff like vein designation and a few other things.

I... I have cleaned up my open tabs. I now have only 56 open.

My tab bar. It looks, so... so...

... so desolate. _{you can actually see the little icons what is this madness}

Also, counting it, I just bookmarked and closed over 90 fanfics (along with 14 authors and series lists), that had been just laying about waiting for me to get back to it. Alongside a bunch of other stuff (game guides, LPs, etc.). Opera is now using like 1/3rd the memory it was earlier this morning >_>

Yeah, edits caught that. I'm honestly not quite sure how exchange program folks and whatnot manage it, exactly. I know there's potentially financial-related stuff beyond incredible debt available to them, but, well, I've never exactly had reason to hunt it up...

I guess ideally you'd actually move over here and gain residency before enrolling, to defray costs, but that's some hella' hoops to jump through and is quite likely not the most viable solution in the world.

E: ... mostly, though, what you're feeling is pretty normal for folks looking into university learnin', especially if they want/have to go out of state. So... you're among a great deal of company, Sky, for what that's worth. And a lot of people end up managing it, so... look around when you're feeling better. Find out how they're doing it. Therein lies an answer, if possibly not a particularly good one.

Bloody hell, that dream has given me a new appreciation of dragons.

Having to run interference as... some kind of four-legged thing... for someone escaping on horse through plains and forest while giant, fast as balls, agile as snakespit, firebreathing dragon is bouncing around like something hopped up on incredible amounts of PCP is... it's something. It's cinematic, it's dynamic as hell, everything is on fire, and then when you finally reach the end and manage to get the rider critter to safety you're left with a situation where there's a giant, fast as balls, agile as snikespit, firebreathing pissed off dragon prowling around like an incredibly ornery cat, between you and anything approaching safety. And it's coming for you, as most of the surrounding area drips basically!napalm.

It feels like losing a video game, only instead of a restart you're faced with a future of intense flaming agony and teeth and claws and yup time to wake up.

That one was pretty intense. Incredibly hard to describe meaningfully well, though. It would have been, like, major movie action sequence, or some kind of unholy mix between zelda epona sequences, monster hunter's opening cinematics, and shadows of the colossus. It was beautiful and both incredibly high energy and frustrating, because you "won" but oshit agonizing burny death incoming. S'also already starting to slip away, but memory of black and red and cat and reptile and angry and nearly liquid fire bloody everywhere is lingering. For a biological near impossibility those things are bendy as the buggery.

It was flashy, if nothing else. Strobin' as a rare akuma match.
