I think I'll file it away as one of those "Cool to try once I have health insurance" things.

Hey, I've seen a sixty year(ish) old grandma survive a cup of single-brew'd stuff -- that purple mountain dew from a while back and honey/lemon/ginseng green tea.

I haven't tried sequential boiling/steeping cycles, though. I... yeah, being honest, that's maybe dangerous, I'unno. Wouldn't mind consulting a doctor about it, if only to see the look of horror. Still, I can't imagine it'd be much worse than multi-brewed coffee, unless something in the soda turns toxic after being heated/cooled/heated multiple times. Once is safe, though, at least for occasional consumption.

But then you don't get the sugar! And whatever else is in it. It's not just about the caffeine, after all.

Maybe I should invent computer tech fuel... 

Take a caffeinated drink. Boil it. Steep caffeinated tea. Consume. LIVE.

Crash like fuck 8-10 hours later. Not entirely sure the concoction would pass FDA regulations. If it would, well. Boil it and steep more tea. Repeat until in contravention of law, or the brew becomes undrinkable. Or maybe solid, I guess. I wonder if you could repeated boil it until it (the sugar and syrup, anyway) crystalized or something... maybe add some honey? Mountain dew tea candies. Hrm...

Anyone with better knowledge of making hard candies able to chime in?

Honestly, whiskey dick sounds like some kind of food. I... I have no idea why. Possibly because I just woke up and it's 5 AM (do not want to be awake, dammit).

Ehn. Honestly, I'd give good odds that it's just that most of the classics and great notes in literary history are depressive as fuck. Deep, insightful, and something like 90% about either bad sex, death, or bigotry/xenophobia (or, of course, some combination of the lot). It's just not very... something. I'unno. It doesn't engage if you're not intrested in fighting doldrums for your literary fix.

Back to reading the rumia-gets-summoned-by-louise ZnT/Touhou crossover

E: Maybe try something like the Thousand Nights and a Night, or Romance of the Three Kingdoms or something. More zing, less social commentary and/or angst.

It... it's spotty. And depends on the police in question, heavily. I've watched 21 year olds walk into a store, buy a 12 pack or whatever, and walk out into the parking lot and begin distributing it to ~16 year olds, all while a cop was in the store, watching. Nothing happened. I also saw a few guys kicked out of the dorms I was in for storing drinks in their room while they were rooming with underaged folks.

Far as I know, buying the stuff is... somewhat strictly enforced, or at least not as lackadaisily enforced as other aspects, but in general it's just not something consistently enforced and can vary heavily based on place, situation, etc.

Now, caveat. All that is secondary observation and not very rigorous observation, t'boot. I've never drank despite being legal for a while now, so I haven't really paid attention to how strictly it's enforced. Take advice at own risk, and know that being a foreigner has a pretty strong likelihood of upping the chance and risk of being caught

Nah, never roda an ATV before. I mean, I kinda expected it to be easier than a bike: after all, you've got twice the amount of wheels, amirite?

Nooot quite, at least as far as I know. Buggery things are pretty dangerous, it seems.

Golems made of metal can be fixed in the forge (but I am not sure whether it is currently worth the trouble). You can also envelop golems/zombies with one-time frost effects... maybe there will be some more permanent inscriptions added later.

Yeah.. trouble with forge is just getting the golem to and from it, or visa versa, I guess. Permanent inscriptions would be awesome. Especially if you could like, overload them or something. Stack a bunch on a corpse, destabilize the whole thing, hop it up on some kind of haste-like spell and send it slamming into a nearby village the closest enemy. Arcanochromatic fallout Fun times!

In the meantime, kamikaze frost-bomb zombies will suffice I'll have to spend some time figuring out how to do that next time I sink some time into VoI.

Incidentally, I'm wondering about the possibility of sorta' lesser golems... grass, twigs, etc. Origami, tiny mud golem, whatever. Small, quick and cheap to make, flimsy, good to slap a timed explosion hex (assuming VoI can do that, heh) or some sort of distance viewing spell on and send it around the corner.
