I have a whole bunch of programming homework to make up by Wednesday because I didn't do it previously, which sucks because I made plans for this weekend like a month ago and it's a little late to duck out of them. Hmmph.

Also I don't own Heat Signature despite wanting it for years. What the hell is up with that?

I don't think I've ever heard 'being a bastard' in a positive light? Usually that's reserved for a, I dunno, a lid or cap that won't open or a stuck screw or something.

Bastard sword? That’s a hand-and-a-half sword. Or, y’know, just a really annoying sword.

Ooh I have something for this!  It actually made me feel better at a certain point in my life:

Thou, nature, art my goddess; to thy law
My services are bound. Wherefore should I
Stand in the plague of custom, and permit
The curiosity of nations to deprive me,
For that I am some twelve or fourteen moon-shines
Lag of a brother? Why bastard? wherefore base?
When my dimensions are as well compact,
My mind as generous, and my shape as true,
As honest madam's issue? Why brand they us
With base? with baseness? bastardy? base, base?
Who, in the lusty stealth of nature, take
More composition and fierce quality
Than doth, within a dull, stale, tired bed,
Go to the creating a whole tribe of fops,
Got 'tween asleep and wake? Well, then,
Legitimate Edgar, I must have your land:
Our father's love is to the bastard Edmund
As to the legitimate: fine word,--legitimate!
Well, my legitimate, if this letter speed,
And my invention thrive, Edmund the base
Shall top the legitimate. I grow; I prosper:
Now, gods, stand up for bastards!

tldr:  "People give me shit for being illegitimate, but I was born of love instead of political duty.  I'm no less human - maybe more!  Also in a pragmatic sense I'm coming for my inheritance."

Obviously it didn't match my more modern situation, but I still really like the romance of it coming from that time period.

Edit:  In case people don't know, "bastard" originally/technically means someone born out of wedlock.  Obviously words change, but that's sorta where bastard sword comes from too:  A sword from an unholy marriage of a two-hander and one-hander.  also I guess Katanas are bastard swords, heh

I think there’s enough old guard around to at least step in and notify the Toad before this goes nuclear, but yeah, rage threads in the past were no bueno.

But I want to see this thread go nuclear.

Hmmm...

All of you suck. Fite me.

We don't do that here.

Magmacube_tr pinches hector13 in the left upper arm, but the attack glances away!

Oh yeah?

I think you might be suggesting I’m fat..?

[Ziusudra]

What I'd like to complain about is you starting these low effort threads asking for others to provide the content without you providing any yourself.

What about you, Novel? What do you hav to complain about for us?

Wait, what I really want to complain about is how when I'm catching up on discord and I happen to glance down at the task bar and see the discord icon indicating unread posts, I then try to switch to discord to read them.

I think you might be suggesting I’m fat..?

Where did you get that? It's just a pinch, it won't do anything, regardless of how much fat is under the skin.
