The blackest of extravagant cooking

Okay, yeah, that was amusing. Candlelight kitchen cooking is pretty awesome in all situations. Seemed like a decent recipe, t'boot.

Anyone remember SeaMan? I remember seeing commercials for it on the Dreamcast, but then...nothing. I also had a friend who was big into it, but never let me near it because I would "corrupt" it. WTF happened with that?

I don't know, but looking it up on google and seeing screenshots leads me to be incredibly happy that it fell off the radar. That is pretty intensive uncanny valley shit right there.

Not something I'd bother getting a dreamcast emulator working to play.

Oh.

Oh gods.

I just realized (possibly not for the first time) how close the pronunciation of yaoi (yao-A) and YWHW (yah-way) can be, with a little accent shenanigans. Our lord is an awesome lord _{of manlove}.

Thank you so much, brain. So much. _{you bastid}

Speed Cooking

That was...

... that was terrible. Just... terrible. Are... are you sure you didn't miss the WTF thread? Or maybe the sad thread? Dude wasted like a week's worth of food for a punchline

I guess I can sorta' see how it'd be funny... maybe? It made me a little sick to my stomach

Ouch. That... that was basically an exact mirror of one of the lines/thought processes that the mouthfrothing extremists use, Nada. "I don't hate them, they're just infected" is... I've basically heard that word for word from homophobes ("homosexuality is a disease"), xenophobes (blah blah islam blah sick), people talking about sinners (Don't hate the sinner, hate the sin? Classic line. Tends to be functionally identical in the actual expression.)... several sorts along those lines. Not going to help you if you were trying to actually refute what scriv was saying, at least the first sentence.

Solips don't even remotely need mindstar mastery (which is honestly kinda' wasted on 'em... it's got some nice defensive utility but not much beyond that for a ranged class, and if you can get mindstar mastery you can probably get fungus or AM instead.) or antimagic, though losing fungus access stings a bit. It definitely helps 'em, but it's far, far from necessary. Skeletons are still ridiculously tough to kill and provides that sexy debuff duration reduction, which makes them an incredibly solid anything-but-wilder. The heavy shielding goes a long way towards making up for the fungus loss, t'boot.

Ghouls are alright, too. Extra mobility, extra toughness, nice heal, solipsist speed bonus helps offset the ghoul's malus. It's pretty decent. S'worth noting I value ghouls pretty highly, though... the speed penalty makes people crap on them harder than they really deserve. It's functionally not that bad and ghouls get some incredible bonuses.

Yeeks are... honestly, only 'alright' solipsists, from what I've seen. Good, but I'd rather play something tougher. Yeek solipsists have the same squishy problem as all yeek builds do, and while solip tankiness helps ameliorate that quite a bit, it's still there and a problem compared to other races. Best solips are probably thaloren at the moment. Saves boosts, that sexy sexy resall, nice buff, and better meatshields. Even with the nerfs, though, it's pretty hard to go wrong with solipsist anything.

Huh. It's... a fancier Crimson: Steam Pirates. Which is itself just a navel themed version of those turn-based 2d dogfighting flash games that have been around for a while

Does look like it's got some interesting variations on the theme, though.

Duck hunt/SMB mix cart on the NES. Think that was my first. I nostalgia harder over Odell Lake, though. Played it somewhere around the same time frame. Edutainment can be fun!

Then... gods, there's lots of other stuff, I'unno. At this point I've at least played (if not beat) pretty much every RPG/SRPG (That's translated, anyway... and a fair chunk that haven't been.) on the SNES, Sega Genesis, and PSX, and most of the ones that are in english on the NES. Younger times were much more spotty, though. Shining Force, Ogre Battle... Dragon Warrior somewhere in there, more I can't even remember off the top of my head. Robotrek! Buncha' stuff. Don't really nostalgia over much of it, though. Still go back and play them Some age pretty well, some less so. S'all good, though.

Then I found desktop computer, shortly thereafter the internet started maturing as browsers go... emulation started popping up. Lots of fun stuff.
