Doing some dawn of war. Just... just want to say. "Unyielding Hammer of Woe" makes me happy. I don't exactly know why. Might be the delivery in game or something. S'just... s'just a nice turn of phrase.

Honestly, if it's not poison immune, an oozemancer can pretty much just write it off as a threat. Mucus alone does some ludicrous amounts of damage (and a.splash spreads it freaking everywhere), and poison spores approach Impending Doom level damage throughput. And that's just three talents out of a lot >_>

It's pretty great. Don't underestimate call of the ooze, either. Massively jacked up melee attack vs. pretty much everything in sight is delicious, especially when you've got psiblades and maxed out will/cun.

It'll be interesting to see which of its orifices gets violated by the nerf bat.

The answer is more gloves. Layers, damn you! At least you have that option.

There is no escape from the hundred heat. You run out of clothes to take off. The water does nothing (except reflect light and give sunburns). The shade does nothing. The AC hits you right in the frikkin' pocketbook. Let sleeping dragons sleep. The miserableheat will be here soon enough. Let it take its time. It won't be going anywhere for a long while after it shows up.

It's snowing here. It's fucking spring. It shouldn't be fucking snowing. I want temperatures that don't freeze my face off.
No. No. Shut up. Quiet. Nature seems to not quite cottoned on to the whole spring thing yet. STFU and let it be clueless. You can fix face freezing with a mask or hat or something.

Face melting you just fucking face melt. Jack all you can do about that. It's not into happy happy joy joy triple digit Fahrenheit avec 90+% humidity for weeks on end land yet. For the love of all that's holy and not, don't bugger the sleeping dragon! That makes the dragon randy and then no one is safe from flaming dragon  *record scratch*

Just... leave the dragon alone. Let it sleep for a little while longer.

Processes for all users shown? Unless you're not on windows/using one of the newer ones I have no idea of specifics of.

Madre de dios... alex, to that first one, I'm guessing you mean in conceptual space? Because we have plenty of examples of folks gunning for and getting leadership positions in the states and otherwise explicitly to do stuff even they recognize is morally bankrupt and/or illegal. We definitely have people in power trying to do bad per se. And that's not even considering the ones that are simply giving the short shift to anyone not of their own in-group!

Fuck you, Microsoft. That's bullshit. I hate scvhost with a passion. Probably because it runs 20 instances at once, when it should only be one.
Yeah... that can kinda' get annoying. On the other hand, it sometimes makes identifying which service is buggering up a much simpler task. I still haven't found (okay, fair jab, I haven't looked either) a monitoring program that displays what each individual service is drawing on, resource wise. Process Explorer will tell you what services each individual scvhost is governing, but not what the individual services are chewing on.

Task manager is, of course, a useless sack of crap. That is also ugly.

@Tiru: It's just the process that runs your services. Firewall, automatic updater, audio stuff, LAN, etc., so forth, so on. Everything under the service thingy in admin tools.

Decent one'll last a few years if it's built alright and well taken care of, easy. I've had laptops with shit maintenance and almost constant uptime last a half decade, with a couple of years working with non-functioning cooling (it still turns on, four or five years later since I've switched computers, actually, though it barely runs.) -- and remember, the point isn't necessarily for it to last forever, just for it last long enough to transfer <more information than you could store on paper> over to a hardier medium. Something actually built to be rugged and taken care of should last at least as long, possibly longer. Might just build it to directly link to the generator instead of via a cord intermediary or something, I'unno. Be an interesting engineering project.

I call it netbook, but honestly you'd be getting something custom built for reliability, portability, shelf life, and storage capacity. It'd basically be a hardened kindle with an expanded hard drive or something along those lines. E: And push comes to shove, they're almost certainly going to be more compact than a paper medium would have been. Bring a few of spares along, you'd still be looking at a net gain in space.

Not sure how long a crank generator would last, but from what I recall they lean toward fairly tough.

Probably 'cause Aurora kicks it up a notch. Bam, right to the UI aesthetics.

Interesting thing is that SG didn't necessarily say that the agenda the people in question have is bad... just that they have one, and because of that aren't going to be primarily representing the will of the people. Even if the axe they seek to grind is overall beneficial, they've still got that as a primary goal instead of what they're ostensibly supposed to be doing. That's not really democracy, perhaps. Representative democracy at best, but that's a notably different beast compared to direct.

It's actually a bit of a viewpoint I hadn't thought of before, that corruption doesn't necessarily entail "negative corruption", if you will. Just that the power in question is being used for reasons beyond serving the people (organizing and enacting their will).

male woodelf who looks exactlty like fargoth.
then kill Fargoth steal his cloathes and wander aimlesly round Seyda Neen
This. More or less.

Or rather, just whatever's shortest. Victory for the short people! Gender, meh.

Magicka regen means magic, yes! Hoptoad mountain climbing, whee!  Stealth specialization base, though. Thief sign.
Not Atronach. Whatever to the rest of it.

Yeek oozemancer completely melts the starting island. Slime spit (with a couple points in it... I've been stopping at 4, so far) three-shots the queen (and rolls over the ritch packs beforehand), and after that acid splash just walks the joint. Total non-issue, more or less.

... scvhost is just the service process thingy. Proper task manager thingy (process explorer, ferex, pimp pimp) will let you see which services that particular instance is governing, letting you actually figure out what's causing it. Instead of blowing up a half dozen possibly vital services when you kill the process.

Though... maybe you knew? I'unno. Just making sure.

Winnie the poo(s)h, man. All the cats? Tigger.

Insofar as I'm aware, that's the reference. Though I could be wrong, there. Try asking on T4's forums, DG'd probably answer.

Heart of poosh is an activatable artifact. Forget exactly what it does. Something to do with reducing equilibrium? Kelad's just a dude, far as I know.

Or at least beat him up and steal his bling.

In kinda' idle retrospect... why didn't she do that in the first place? Kind of a Vriska-y thing to do, methinks.
