I don't think there is any coding in our head that says that women are stupid.

That's a stupid and ignorant thing to say. Try suppressing it.

We'll all get along much easier if we don't make generalizations about any group, not even if we're part of it. Especially if we think we're better than the rest of that group for not being part of the generalization.

Arenabattle game sounds too good to be true, but I'd eat that sandwich.

Don't see no reason to be intimated by women, no sir.  In my eyes girls are always shown as being more smart anyway.  Kinda puts the spirits down with first impressions.  Moving on...

Anyone here ever see Apocalypse Now?  That movies really good.  I mean it's amazing.

Bad news everyone. I think I figured out what went wrong with my machine that has been causing me so much trouble.

As it turns out, I think I have burned out my graphics card. According to the damage I saw while cleaning it, I burned out 2 of the capacitors and one more was on it's way to going bye-bye. I needed a replacement anyway, but now it's inevitable. It needs to be replaced. Shamefully, I only had it for 23 years. These cards are fragile.

Then again, I guess I should remember to invest in some cotton swabs and peroxide and clean up the computer regularly. That was really dusty, even worse after the peroxide. The graphics card itself was horrifying. The corpse is cleaned now, but I only realized the capacitor burn out while I was cleaning.

Here's the damage report:

Spoiler: The burnt out capacitors should be easy to spot (click to show/hide)

The good news is that my computer is still functional thanks to a native graphics card built into the motherboard. Unfortunately, It's really limited in it's capacity. I can still view in full color and resolution, but I can't overclock or anything of the sort. I don't want to burn out the motherboard itself. So, I'm going to be taking it easy until I can replace the old card. Thank you Toady for not making DF graphics intensive. At least I'll still have some things to be able to play until a replacement comes along, but I can't go nuts with the more crazy things.

Hopefully, I can get the new one in due time. And as for Valve, I proposed the option and explained background of alternative solutions and such, and they're taking longer than usual to respond. I hope they're thinking my options through to minimize trouble for all parties.

Anyway, it's...

EDIT:
It seems I missed out on a few interesting topics while I was SOL and OoC.

Well, at least after dusting it and everything, it's definitely much cooler inside again.

You lost it.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Yeah, I lost it when I remembered what it was. It was about a minute after I posted.

[Acanthus117]

Argh! I lost it again!

You guys suck. >:|/

Just kidding.

[Solifuge]

I opt to have no idea what you're talking about, and thereby remain unaffected by whatever it is that I am most certainly not noticing or paying attention to, no sir/ma'am.

[Char13magne]

You are very wise indeed. Nonetheless, I can see that you have, indeed, lost the game. I see it in your eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE ONES ON OUR ARMS?!?!

On a vain note, I was hoping someone would read and comment on my narrative-type-intro to the Pathfinder campaign I'm working on.

Where are my adoring fans? Where are my accolades? I expect immediate critiques here, people!

No, but seriously, some feedback would be hella awesome, and would help keep me excited about working on this thing. There'll be rules and design stuff eventually, but for now there is a sexy narrative, and it's all for you!
