Well. Sure!

I'd be after Eador. Community ID page is this, with the neeble removed. Favorite gaming moment... well, there's probably a lot. One of the ones I remember the best, though...

Incursion. Playing a priest/barbarian drow. Late game, climbing across the ceiling because the character had reached the point it was so bloody ridiculous I could. I get grappled by a chuul. Then... then. Then. Still hanging from the ceiling. And grappled. I promptly proceed to beat the chuul to death with my bare hands, while grappled. Character wasn't, like. Unarmed spec'd or anything. Spent most of the game splatting things with a maul, iirc. She just hauled off and beat a crab demon to death while hanging from the ceiling. It was pretty great ♪

Just... the mental image. Of this crazy elf chick hanging off the ceiling punching a crab thing in the face until it dies. It remains beautiful.

Carried.. all your books? But that's like ~12 books a day D:

Ha ha, yes. I remember that! We (family + doctors seen) are fairly sure that's the (or at least a) primary reason that when I went in to get my back checked when I was 18 (due to rather incredibly agonizing pain ), I had the spine of someone in their forties. More or less permanent (though, fortunately, somewhat ease-able with proper therapy. Really need to get back to keeping those exercises up...) spinal damage~ Several years of a few dozen pounds of incredibly poorly supported (most backpacks marketed for school use are apparently not designed worth a shit <3) texts will do that to a developing skeletal system, it seems.

Locker wasn't actually an option for me, though. Wasn't enough time between classes to stop by, haha.

And now you know reason N+1 Frumple supports the digitization of textbooks. Arguments may be made by the standard method of allowing your opponent to bludgeon you with your proposal until one side is unconscious. Last one standing wins. E-readers hurt. A couple small children worth of swinging backpack hurts much worse ♫

E: In other happies, the Balance and Ruin opera songs have made me happy again.

E2:

I haven't had any caffeine at all for months and months, wheeeeeee. Think since like february or march.

Happy part is I think my overall energy level has actually gone up a little. Not... not much, because I've pretty much always been fairly tired, caffeine or no caffeine, but some. Stuff's never really seemed to do much for me, though. 'Cept make my heat beat noticeably faster and the tiredness somewhat more miserable. And make it hard to sleep. Well. Barring the first couple goes at dew tea. That had an effect. Wasn't worth the crash, though.

... why did I drink that stuff again? Beyond the taste, which I kinda' enjoy.

Purring is good for your heart.

Also they eats things that annoy us.

And... can doesn't really mean can. We're flat out and away this planet's apex predator and we know it. So does most animals that live around us for very long. Dominating/domesticating lesser predators is amusing to us. Probably some kind of latent dominance/superiority thing, really, above and beyond the whole is!useful cases. Also an aesthetic appreciation for deadly things we (ostensibly) control is pretty common. Think there's some kind of chemical trigger going on with that, but if I knew specifics it was years back and I've already forgotten. Also a lot of them just have a really nice texture to them when they're not trying to kill you. Snakes are pretty neat to pet, ferex. Same with alligators. Just as examples.

Other primates, well. Small furry things short circuit the whole is!baby flag, leading to etc., mostly. Least as I understand it. Roughly the same deal for non-primates, in the occasions cross species adoption-type stuff occurs.

It's... incredibly tangential. But. I like shiv on Gangplank. Lightning parrrley that crits <3

S'shame the hurricane doesn't multiply the shiv proc, really. It'd be ridiculous, but thematically awesome. Storm bringing lightning, etc., etc.

I think having a small crafting time bar makes crafting more satisfying, even if only for ores and when you make a bajillion torches at a time, or an epic weapon that takes rare materials. :v

Might just be something to do with skinner boxes and psychology,  but still!

It's a bit nicer on the clicking finger, at least (though that's kinda' irrelevant when you've got autoclicker ), and having little forge farms can be kinda' interesting. More time consuming, of course, but you can presumably go off and do other things while it's happening. Add a little game-linked time management. Can be interesting so long as it's not, as you note, set up as a form of psychological abuse/conditioning.

@Tiruin: Probably the player's spaceship, if there does end up being something like that.

They've already shown that in the streams. Yeah, it's minecraft-ish. Seems a bit quicker (thank Zeus), but still timed in a similar manner.

It would appear that John has physically manifested inside the homestuck fanfiction of a hyperagressive alien psychopath. Huzzah!
