The Banner Saga came out and I don't has the money to buy. ;-;

HOW CAN I CALL MYSELF A CHIBI VIKING NOOOOW? D:

It's good, but very difficult due to the way the combat system works.

Oh hey, I heard of that. Is it on Steam?

[Descan]

Yes it is.

A friend of mine is in serious trouble. Apparently her mothers boyfriend, who they were both living with, is somewhat of a bastard. She didn't want to state outright, but I get the strong impression she suffered some form of sexual abuse, but either way it is very clear several forms of abuse happened. This boyfriend and her mother had some sort of argument and he kicked them both out, so now they are living in a womans shelter.
She told me about this today during my break when she came into work to tell our manager that she wouldn't be able to come in for a while. She is actually from Malaysia and apparently came here when something similar happened with her biological father. I spent a good half hour trying to convince her to go talk to the police, but she doesn't seem to think they will help. Can't blame her, coming from Malaysia I can see why she would have that impression of law enforcement, but over here there is a lot in her favor right now that she should be using right now...

I'm too fucking sober for this.

Don't get me started.

I've *already* pulled up enough whitepapers and documentation on the ancient antedeluvian horror's controller and the specific NEC SRAM modules inside to completely wallpaper out department, pointing out that we can upgrade the controller to 300kb+ for about 30$.

Even where they can order the modules from, and the step by step instructions on how to do it.

Instead, they seem hell bent on paying me by the hour, with overtime no less, to turn out programs for parts that should never be made on those machines, while fighting insanely patheti, controller limits.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to program kellering operations for complex parts under such conditions? Geeze!

This last program I made has pocketing routines that make me want to vomit blood from how horrid they are, and I am JUST BARELY in the size restriction. If I used proper pocketing with helical motions, the tape would be over 200kb. (I know, I checked.)

This is insanity.

Spend $30 out of pocket for the necessary parts.  Then "work" many hours of overtime, doing nothing.  Keep the spread.

Sadly, said antedeluvian horror costs around 1 million dollars, and if I break it, I buy it.

That's a little outside my disposable income.

Bollocks, no idea what to say about this.

I guess you could keep trying to convince her.

I ended up contacting her mother and telling her why she needs to go to the police and how they can help her. I'm not sure if they will go through with all charges, some things are pretty hard to go through with, but to my understanding they are back in their home, and he is somewhere else... I'm operating on the end of a string here and not hearing much, but things are looking a little better.

Looter's Delight 2 seems to be dead. This is sad, especially since I was winning.

Should I PM Wwolin to see if he'll send me his loot generator?

Seems like a good idea. You're running a different game at the moment, though.

Yeah, I'll wait on that.

I wanted to start my day with some cute kitten photos on Imgur.

Imgur decided otherwise...
