I'm not sure whether to be flattered or disturbed.

Draw your own conclusions.

... think that worked, anyway. Fifty-eighth second.

E: Though, being clear, it was intent neutral. I just remembered that ending because that's what I associate excessive chest hair with, now.

We're getting too fat, quick, start the CCCP back up again!

I thought the CCCP was still doing its thing, though...

So... ramp up FOSS development and support? That stuff's basically communism insofar as a lot of folks are concerned, right? Free software makes you slim!

Welp. C'ya cript. I'll miss the skeleton thingy avatar _{(not that I've seen it in forever but still, I think of it when I see your posts.)}, which I long forgot where originated. Have fun wherever.

E:And El Criptfeind, of course. Put a sombrero on something in memorandum, maybe.

Finicky. I've only done one thing, and it was kind of a random one (Pilgrim's Eye) that I suspect was pitched to troll me with an explicit reference to Land card mechanics. Obviously, more mechanics than not need to be represented by something that produces a similar feel of play and has similar fluff, rather than something directly analogous (for instance, you can't have Draw A Card effects produce extra spell slots, but you could have Mill effects inflict mental ability damage and cause spell slot loss). Next, Platinum Angel.

Draw a card... why not have it return a spell level or let you free cast one of your current ones, something along those lines? Drawing lands would give you a day-length ability to tap the land for an appropriate effect*. Drawing other stuff would open up things specific to the draw... creature could be a random summon of level = mana cost of card or whatev'. Somewhat less hostile wonder effect

*Tap X mountains translating into freely casting X levels of fire/evocation spells sounds like it might fit well enough. Stuff like that. Non-casters could get a random typed spell effect (maybe at a penalty), casters draw from their known stuff.

Now I'm just kinda' wondering if/where the PnP MtG translations are. Should probably go hunting at some point... card game itself aside, the fluff work for MtG is pretty awesome, in my opinion. Liked some of the books, I did, and it's got a lot of room for good paper conversion...

Yeeaah. I've been seeing colors-that-aren't-there in my visual field 24/7 for as far back as I can remember. If there's a better word than hallucination for them, the doctors I've talked to about it didn't know the word (though wikipedia maybe suggests pseudohallucination). Knowing it's happening definitely isn't an off switch, heh.

... nothing is an off switch in my case, honestly. 'Cept death, I guess, or memory loss. Couldn't report it in either case.

E: Though worry not, OP. I couldn't give any additions related to what it's called that someone else hasn't, but I have the same thing happen fairly often. It's very nice, and I wish I had a bit more control over it. Better than a music player, it is, for however long it lasts.

Someone told me to toast PB&J sandwiches. I have come here to tell everyone that this is a great idea.

Second only to using waffles instead of bread.

E: Well, in the realm of PB&J creations, anyway.

Why the hell does everybody have cats these days?

Studies show they're generally good for blood pressure or somethin'. Purring does things to human physiology that's somehow beneficial.

Mind you, that's probably not the reason. The actual reason is that they're small, fuzzy, cute, and generally lower maintenance than dogs. And people like pets, for varying reasons.

Don't think so, but it's rather irrelevant in the face of Qwillin. Qwillin's too terrible to not use.
