... nah. There's actually some pretty decent places in and around the states. I can't. I can't actually name them, off the top of my head. But they're out there, I've been through a few, met some folks that live in some. Art towns, college towns, some of the tech industry joints. Overall decent places with overall decent people, with things to do and not so much of a bigotry taint to them. Alright joints.

But yeah, large swathes of the south are kinda' a shithole if you've got any particular interest besides drinking (/various other drugs) and fucking. It's just. Kinda' boring down here if you're not heavy into nature stuff or unwilling to deal with a bigotry epidemic. Pockets of relative decency but generally just kinda' unpleasant unless you're unpleasant. Some stuff in and around the more populated areas, but those kinda' have their problems. What with being, y'know, populated areas surrounded by a lot of drugs and poor people. Kinda' concentrated in the tri-state area (Georgia/Alabama/Florida), but from what I've noticed that's just kinda' how the south rolls.

Not sure how the rest of the place is, so far. Mostly been in the south-east. Wasn't out west long enough to get a feel for things (and was too young to really pay attention), and not gone far enough north to get a feel for the north-east. Furthest north I've been is North Carolina, which I roughly internalize as a place about as bigoted as Florida (at least outside of the cities, but that's about how it is down here.), but with better music, better scenery, and better weather. S'like. Fuck, if it wasn't for the people NC'd kinda' be a paradise. If it still had the bluegrass. Maybe the bears could be trained or something, I'unno.

Florida's about like that, too, though, I guess. If it weren't for the people and the weather it'd be pretty great down here. Beautiful place, just miserable to live in.

Oozemancer's acid-thingy (second level mucus, I think?) just completely and utterly demolishes the early game -- it's basically an alchemist's bomb that spawns a powerful AoE DoT, summons allies, and restores your equilibrium like a boss. Completely flattens the first two tiers of dungeons, and slime spit wrecks everything until you get it. Roughly the only thing capable of surviving more than a couple turns is stuff flat out immune to poison, and that only staves off the inevitable. Oozemancers start off unholy terrors that roll over the game

One I had running did some silly things and ate a few early deaths, but even the most remote degree of caution (which I basically wasn't exercising at all, heh. I did OF through Nur starting at level 10, with only like three tier one dungeons done.) and you're basically unkillable during the early to early-mid game. It's kinda' ridiculous.

The Indians had dubstep?

Hell, pretty much. Just lacking some of the processing that makes it what it is nowadays*. Proto-dubstep, if you will.

Native Americans anyway, dunno if the India Indians were quite as heavy into the drums.

*Though I guess that's what the peace pipe was for?

Which just happens to be infested with Catachan Barking Toads.

... honestly, you could do that to pretty much anything and increase the hilarity factor by a couple degrees at the least, I think.

Probably the quiet thing more than that specifically. Not even the best way to walk quiet, from what I've seen. Only decent when you're barefoot, and even then there's a couple other ways of placing your feet that tend to be quieter. I kinda' roll mine around the outside edge, heel to front, as default. Minimize surface contact while spreading the action over several steps instead of one, reduces noise impact in most situations.

It's nice be able to walk over gravel and crap without making a sound, though. Not easy, and slow, but nice. Right set of shoes (or going barefoot, of course) makes it a bit easier. Step lightly, fellows!

Avatar changes to something delicious are also acceptable. Anything is, really, but bonus points for delicious and/or witty.

E: And that pile of honeycomb just looks scrumptious. I haven't even eaten much honeycomb in my lifetime, but that looks great. Not so sure about the bees, but they can probably be shooed away.

In today's episode of "Let's see what the hell happens" I stuck a klondike bar into a blender with some milk and vanilla extract, and held down the button for a bit.

Bit too much milk and vanilla, but. It's nice. Somewhat soupy milkshake with little chips of chocolate floating around in it hanging around at the bottom of the cup. Probably gonna' have to scape them out at the end but I'm not exactly complaining.

Bit messy, though.
