Tinnitus is a happy thing because it's like this reliable friend that comes with you anywhere you go.

* LordSlowpoke claps.

I could not possibly put it in a more valid yet mediocrely saddening manner.

Also, I seem to be adapting clapping as a both sarcastic and legitimate measure of approval, just like in one of my Japanese animes stereotypes about Americans. So I've got that going for me.

1) Tinnitus: No idea if i have it. I do get a soft background buzz but I always assumed that was standby elctronic or pipes or rustling leaves etc...... makes no difference to me

2) The new member of my D&D group almost killed himself by attempting an assassin's creed from a pillar. Onto a skeleton. which unsurprisingly isn't the softest of landings. And i didn't even have to do anything to damage him. Tjis makes DMing hilarious.

Man, I need to find a DnD group. Or start one, but I don't think I could DM.

Well, theres the joint DM thing running on this forum. I think GreatWyrmGold still needs players.

[kisame12794]

Hrmmmmmmmmm. I will look for that, thanks!

[sjm9876]

Here it is for you.

The satanic influence of DnD caused attempted suicide! This is what it's doing to your kids!!!!

Before long, they'll be learning real magic and hypnotizing their parents.

Personally, I've just taken to calling it the music of the celestial spheres. Actually fits some of what was said about it fairly well, from what I've seen. Near as I've been able to tell, everyone can hear it, s'just most folks either don't pay enough attention to notice or don't really grok what they're hearing. Factually, I'd gather it's some quirk or another of physiology. Nonexistent gods know there's probably research on the subject out there I haven't bothered looking for, heh.

But yeah, it can be kinda' neat once you just shrug and embrace it as an interesting noise that never actually goes away.

Wiki got yo' back. Musica bit in the see also gives a bit more information, too.

It was actually one of the more influential astronomy theories, years ago. Completely debunked nowadays, but yeah.

Ah, but there's a reason the Ptolemaic model of the cosmos hung on as long as it did: it predicts astronomical events very accurately, and it uses all circles (orbits and epicycles), which were relatively easy to calculate. One of the biggest problems with Copernicus's theory, which assumed circular orbits for the planets, was that it was much, much less accurate than Ptolemy's. It wasn't until Kepler figured out that the planets' orbits had to be ellipses, not circles, that its accuracy problems were fixed.

Oh, aye, they honestly did a lot of really impressive stuff with it, for a system that was fundamentally flawed. Didn't make it any less wrong but it gave a helluva' showing over the centuries. Non-minor props are given and deserved by th'folks that built and fleshed out that whole mess.

Plus, from what I recall, they had really pretty like, map thingajiggers.

[Vector]

A moment for something serious:

I keep getting PMs from people checking on me to be sure I'm okay, and trying to find things for me to distract myself with, and so on... fortunately I'm doing all right for now, and I'm busy enough with some preparations that I haven't had time to reply!  ... But I'm actually crying with relief.  Thank you, everyone, for taking care of me.  Thank you so much.  I could write forever and never come to the edge of my gratitude.

And in the end, isn't that the real truth?

I am glad that you are doing well, Vector! 's good that you are still going. Maximum toughness score, or something. I can't really think of anything to add, especially since I didn't send any PMs >______>
