Goddamn dice! In trying to figure out a responsible way of setting target numbers, the simplest and most effective strategy mandates a division by 2 for calculating several of a character's statistics. This is because dice have an expected value of 1/2 their maximum value. It's trivial to create a formula that grows in the same way as a character's abilities do by basing it on the same numbers, but because one of those numbers sets die size, it's twice as large as the results you expect from that die. And while I can probably do it without hurting gameplay that much, on account of being able to automate the calculation on a character sheet via the magic of computerized assistance, it burns from a mechanical elegance perspective. Arbitrary constants are not good!

Umm, isn't it 7/12 of the maximum value for a 6-sided die, (N+1)/(2N) for an N-sided die?

[Bauglir]

My dice start at 0 for reasons having to do with explosions >_________>

Although more generally that .5 isn't significant as N increases so just saying 1/2 was close enough for the purposes of the rage, which has to do with needing to extrapolate all the way on up to infinity

I am so god damn tired of having these throat problems. My neck doesn't ache anymore, my fever is gone, my throat just won't get the fucking clue. I could live if it was just hurting, but now it's been making a bunch of mucus of many colors (including bright, sunny yellow for some reason) that I can't ever get rid of even though I've been coughing it up for two days. This happens every time I get better from something, but usually I just cough it up once and I'm done.

I had that happen to me for a month after a bout of illness.  Could be something like walking pneumonia?

Seems probable. I was stuck with a cough for ~3 weeks and a doctor diagnosed me with exactly that.

Fucking hell. I had to stay up until about 2 last night. I tried to go to sleep but I wouldn't stop coughing. Eventually my parents took me to the ER but not before I threw up from coughing. Once I was there I learned that I basically have asthma until all the smoke from the fires in CA clear up. Ugh, I'm so fucking tired and pissed you don't even know.

My mouse is, using technical terms, an asshole. I right click and it left clicks, i left click and it double clicks. I need to buy a new one.

My cat is somehow tracking litter from her litter tray into my bed. HOW IS SHE DOING THIS. MY BED IS ALMOST TWO METRES OFF THE GROUND GRAAAAAAAARGH.

Oh god I hate that. Or anything in my bed. Sand too. Small crumbs as well. Actually, I don't like small crumbly stuff on my bed in general. Or at all.


Supposedly my Grandfather nearly did not have kids simply because he hated crumbs in his bed that much.

This sounds so bizarre out of context that I have to sig it.

Don't worry, that game sucks. The only funny part is getting the "thanks for supporting an indie dev!" achievement.

Altough that was only funny because I pirated it

[kaijyuu]

Decided to get game dev tycoon via steam.

All it does is have the music come up in a juttery fashion, and show a white screen. Fuck else.

Welcome to game development.

[Iceblaster]

Playing Splinter Cell 2 for the first time in a while.

Reach the train level

Spoiler: Reason (click to show/hide)

You find out that Mortified_Penguin, AKA Norman smith is leaving Paris on a train under the name John Poindexter

Get to the point where I have to laser mic a call. Completely forget I have to go through the bar car, and try to go back after Poindexter, end up failing sixty times(not really) and then realize 'I'm supposed to go... FUCK MY INTELLIGENCE'

Commence me beating myself up about it for the rest of the level.
