Anyone here ever watched Iron Chef America? Because I remember why I like it - M. Bison is the host/chairman, complete with ham.
In fact, it's generally the most hammy cooking show I've seen. Ever.

The Chairman is the best.

Yep. Yes, I know that isn't the actual M. Bison, but they're similar enough to make me think that he just retired and took on a job there.

I'm happy just because.  There are some things in this world that are so absurd as to become beautiful.

[Max White]

Ah, but can something be so beautiful it becomes absurd?
Perhaps beauty is absurdity. The improbability that something so wondrous, so amazing, could ever form from a system of parts so unfathomably small and finite, yet in a blizzard of mathematical harmony they construct beings of spectacular complexity. Without guidance or plan they operate, and somehow something worth more than the sum of its parts comes forth. This is absurdity. This is beauty.

Beauty is truth, truth beauty, – that is all

I'm much better at card games than I previously believed. But I'm also not stupid enough to actually exercise that skill in real stakes.

Kind of a bittersweet combination.

I've met some people who literally live off internet poker, so maybe it's not such a bad idea?

Are they the ones who run the sites?

[Frumple]

Pretty sure the tricks that let you live off internet poker get you kicked out of actual casinos. 'net poker is by and large a numbers game more than anything. Mathy folks need apply.

I've met a couple of 'em, too, actually.

[Max White]

I thought a large basis of these tricks revolved around the fact that physically randomizing a desk is hard, you need a machine to do it and even then it isn't that far off.
With internet poker you are using a virtual deck, thus can use any randomizing algorithm you want to make the deck unpredictable.

I've been skimming through the editor's notes in the 1972 version material for Mazes and Minotaurs, and I found the Myth & Magic supplement contains a reference to Dark Dungeons. Holy crap, the people who made this thing are awesome.

LOL @ "1972 version". The whole thing is very tongue-in-cheek.

Happy Pi day, everyone!

Happy Pi day, everyone!

The what day now?

EDIT: Oh right, you put month before day, I forgot.

This is really, really exciting to me.  I want it now!!!  Will be watching how this develops very closely...

This is the happy thread, not the "Things that made you absolutely terrified thread". D:

IMHO, dining (by which I mean, eating for the sensual pleasure of it) is one of the things that elevates us from furless monkey to human beings. The idea of living off "protein slurry" for the rest of my life is some kind of dystopic nightmare.
