Ah, sorry True, the trigger issue for me was the whole 'naivety gets preyed upon, is just how world is' (with the possible implication that that's not a horrific state of affairs ) thing, not so much what you actually ran in to. Yeah, that's what happens, it's just... not a thing I can accept for myself to be nonchalant about. The predator in that case is very strongly in the wrong, the prey not in the wrong at all.

The situation'd be more like a mechanic going around sabotaging other people's brakes and then blaming the people victimized for not being fully cognizant of that act happening. There's a lot of that basically happening nowadays, but instead of coming down on the victimizer like a hammer, people point fingers at the victim, or just shrug it off as 'how the world works.' We should be trying to do better than that, y'know? I know we don't, but the state of things isn't sufficient reason to not be troubled by the situation.

Things are a bit more complicated when you hire a mechanic to fix the brakes you know are broken and then you go in the next morning, bugger everything up, and then try to blame the mechanic for the brakes buggering up later

That's a bit like saying "It's the lion's fault for eating him, not the fact that he wandered into a nature preserve while wearing a coat made out of raw meat." I get what you're saying, but c'mon...the world is like that.

*fist shake*

Mm, yeah. Summer should be interesting down here in Florida this year. I'm curious if there's going to be an upswing in heat-related deaths this year. Because... yeah. No winter (even by Florida standards), already hitting upper 70s mid to upper 80s and suchlike in march... there's going to be a'reaping this year. We usually lose quite a few, but signs are pointing to a "Let's thin that retiree* crop" season.

*And maybe anyone with lung problems or... whoever's stupid enough to be outside of AC for more than a few minutes, really.

Never heard of it? Madre owns the book/script/whatever, never got around to reading it. I hear it's interesting, though.

Ngh. I hate to be the (E:Second, ruddy ninja!) one to bring it up, but Darklands doesn't appear to actually be (legally) abandonware; that is, it wasn't released to the public. So you should probably nix the link, since it's technically violating the forum's guidelines

Most abandonware is in a morally gray area, yes, but not a legally gray one. If the rights owner hasn't released it to the public, well...

Jean is fine, too.

For critter names, go with species-appropriate foods, to get you in the right mood of expendibility. For chimchar, at least, Bushmeat. For Turtwig, Calipash. Not finding any interesting food-related names for penguins, though. Still, the idea comes across.

Fluff says all dead pokemon are to be cooked and fed to the rest

Finally got around to listening to this... Youtube preview One-winged angel on delicious electrocrack.

Cursory search of thread said no one's mentioned, so yeah. It's delicious.

You should. That's all I can really say. You should. Go and rechristen yourself PLAST.

Actually, if you can fit an I and C name at the end of that... or E and R. Either way.
