I'd just about maim for basically anything spelljammer styled, personally. Screw everything else, I want magic spaceships and hippo men with guns.

Isn't valewood just your average fantasy elf forest kind of place? Like, bluh.
average fantasy elf forest full of carnivorous cannibal elves

So not necessarily. Could be closer to darksun halfling territory, which is "just" a jungle full of relatively short people that think you're food.

Really? Damn. Oh well, 'nother nail.
Hell, the guy is a lying motherfucker. Maybe the statement during that debate was another lie. Or the stance against the visas (personally consider that more likely given how cheerfully his business has made use of them, but eh) was. From a certain point of view you can't really be certain of anything the piece of shit says. Probably better to judge on previous action, which somehow tends to paint an even worse picture than what he actually says.

EDIT: If Trump curtailed abuse of the H-2B visa program (as he called for at one point), that would be a good thing. I don't have any expectation that he'd actually make good on that though.
He also kinda' reversed on that stance back during the March 3rd debate, so, uh.

Not nearly the only, but probably one of the most persistent about it.

My WTF is how goddamn long this election season's been going. I'd say it'd be nice that its over soon, but odds are good that the next one will start a few months into the new presidency.
More like a week or two ago. Folks have already started.

No Man's Sky. And ninja'd, but eh.

Though nah, m's problem wasn't really the short fuse or the feistyness, it was the inability to keep from directly attacking other posters.

I'm surprised that we keep allowing political discussions when so many of the bans are from those topics specifically, but yet NMS and MLP ended up banned topics after not even a fourth of the bullshit that routinely comes up in those topics came up there.
Eh... importance of the subject, maybe? And considering what forum we're on (LCS) politics probably gets more leniency.

That's two bans in as many days. I wonder whether this is entirely due to a change in the posting activity, or whether Toady is getting tired of insults and threats.
Yeah, CM definitely changed posting content. The out there was normal but the murder related stuff not so much. M kinda' didn't but that was the problem.

9264
Well, unintuitive design and user error. Though the two feed into each other, heh. Like how snopes went, "Yeah, we found sod all." Seems to happen a lot when it comes to this stuff.

Also why does noone I start watching ever fucking finish DS2? >:(
I know its really long, but even so...
MFPT has two or three. Or four, now that I check. Pretty sure they all finished, to one extent or another. For what it's worth.

I swear to the nonexistent gods, more than half the time someone references trump and then says something along those lines, if it's not ensconced in a premise embedded in alt-right nonsense the answer is actually clinton. I've noticed it happening a lot, and it keeps happening. It's starting to get disconcerting, really.

But yeah, her (and probably her campaign even moreso -- whoever she's paying to handle her twitter account probably deserves a raise) have definitely been working the media-savvy pretty effectively, from what I've seen. It's probably been drowned out to some degree by the tidal wave of bile and panic coming out of the other side of political divide this election but seriously. It's not like some of the political operators that don't have sod odd idea what they're doing haven't figured out this whole internet thing well enough. It's just not as overtly attention catching as some of the crap that's been happening this go around. It's hard to catch attention like trump's been, internet wise, and not be an ongoing wreck what is on fire and covered in poo.

9267
Nah, people just keep falling into the trap of dumping competence early for the ideological requirements -- it works in lower level stuff but not so much higher. That and not sucking it up and taking the penalties involved with splashing some major party platform picks, instead of stubbornly speccing only sideline loadouts. It could work, it's just all the folks using the builds are scrubs or prefer farming easier content :V

EDIT: I've just tried fiddling with the screen's position, and it stopped all of a sudden. That sounds ominous. :-\
Or like a loose wire or somethin', which probably wouldn't be much trouble to fix beyond the whole opening the laptop thing. If you've actually got warranty you care about, you could probably swing it by a shop of some sort and have them sort it out.

... updating vista sp1 to sp2 somehow freed up about 70 gigs of hard drive space, also known as 2-3 times the amount of free space I had beforehand. What were you even doing, windows? I mean, I probably know (page files and whatnot), but still.

I was not aware someone released a couple hundred live chickens at a political event during the 1992 election. Wasn't very old at the time but you'd think something like that would stick. But they did. Bit near the bottom of the history section.
