No, I've been exclusively working toward and for good, despite my natural inclination. Doing good and putting myself in danger to do so feels very good.

Family is great, my wife is having trouble dealing with... Me. I'm definitely as unokay as ever despite a resurgence of hobby and friends time.
It's good to have you back

I am alive and well. I'd like to apologize for any negative stuff I left behind. Like everyone else, I've had a Motherfucker and A Half of a year so far.

I missed y'all but I also have some new stories. Like for example I'm apparently an accidental combat medic and excellent bodyguard.

Hello, Hanslanda. It sounds like you have been through a lot. I hope such things will not happen often.

So, I find this document both enlightening, amusing, and WTF worthy all at the same time.

It is an investigation on using 3 NiMH cells in series, in place of a single LiON cell, inside a LiON charger.

I see this, and think "Ghetto battery packs".

*edit*

I built a "Replacement battery Pack" (Ghetto version!) for my PSP using this information.  Amusingly, the PSP Phat (and or, "extended battery") battery pack is EXACTLY the right thickness to sub-out the potted LiON cell contained inside, and replace it on the charge logic board with 3 AAA NiMH cells in series.

The resulting pack is only 800mah capacity, but that is better than a 0mah battery with a pack so swollen it looks like a bloated tick. (which is why I was OK with disassembling it.) 

The PSP is able to successfully charge it, and it has a runtime of approximately 4 hours.


I was under the impression that this kind of substitution was not feasible.  WTF indeed.

Just noticed that A. There's apparently a baldur's gate 3 coming and B. It involves at least one spelljammer as a significant thing. As far as things I expected to see today go, spelljammer in a major video game franchise in the year 2020 wasn't it.

I mean, I was surprised and amused in 2016 when I found out there would be a new Doom. Though I don't suppose I should have been. It is a classic.

Interesting.. I wonder how they will reconcile the "Crashed planar sphere" of BG-II with SpellJammers existing. (Since it would have been vastly less expensive, safer, and not nearly as bone headed to just--- Send a spelljammer--- than it would have been to invest in a humongous metal sphere, and then translocate it using magic through the astral plane directly...)

There are already spelljammers present in BG2 -- there's one docked in the Underdark city.

Also I think you underestimate the boneheadedness of wizards

No, Somebody has to be responsible for the belt of transgender's creation.
(And yes, it appears IN THE FIRST AREA of the game in BGII.  It's found in the troll encounter.)

Idiotic mages are a staple. I think a study should be done concerning magic and senility.  I suspect a causal relationship.

My contention about that whole controversy about some trans character in Beamdog's expansion was that, strictly speaking, that was only the third official trans character in the BG series (the first two being the ogre wearing the belt and Edwina :p )
