Playing UFO: Afterlight. The martians attacked one of my territories. So I go over there, enter the map, and wait for the ungodly amout of mechs and martians to come at me. Nothing comes, so I send someone to scout. Turns out all the "Enemies" were the martians pets.

Seriously, how does several runaway animals trigger a military response?!

I'm dismissing crap, and I can't expect a 3 year old to see crap for the crap that it is, but someone who is a lot older, I can. It's the adolescent idolisation of camp I'm not comfortable with. However, since I have never seen the show, I'm not really qualified to comment on it, so I won't, beyond what I already just did :)
Idolization of camp is adolescent? O.o Nevermind that's not what's happening here (the show is legitimately compelling, not just campy humor).


But whatever, I don't want to look defensive, and this is the WTF thread not a debate one. Come to the pony thread and we'll answer any question you might have about why it's compelling and not just people getting hopped up on sparkles and rainbows.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Tell her to search any of the episodes on youtube and look at the demographics.  :P


In other news, I just spent close to fifteen minutes trying to find out why my keyboard wasn't working and was emitting beeping noises. As it turns out, the filter keys for computer-illiterate types with sausage fingers was turned on. After I spent fifteen minutes trying to figure out what was causing it, combing through my open programs and restarting my laptop twice, I checked that. No idea how it got switched on, unless I was visited by the troll fairy.

I think it's like the bane of gamers everywhere Stickykeys.  It turns itself on if windows detects some anomalous keyboard input.  Such as crouching for 5 seconds in a shooter for stickykeys.

Don't quite know what triggers that one, but it is probably just the result of windows trying to be helpful and getting in the way.

That was probably it then, I forgot what it actually was, because I disabled the damn thing years ago.  Anyway my point being it gets in the way and it killed me in FPSes because I usually had ctrl bound to crouch.  :P  (Now it's usually shift now that I'm used to wasd controls instead of old Doom2 controls)

Stickykeys dialog box is so loathed that it's the final boss of a videogame.

Well, you do have a busy life, what with keeping tabs on wild, rough-and-tumble forum members while sorting out the drama between your twenty two inner lesbians.
Your drunk posts continue to baffle me.

His corpse is still firmly at the bottom of that river along with the oak log he was carrying while drowning.... Who chooses to drown. It's too stupid in too many ways to be real.... :P
