You- game- what- no- YOU SONOFA- ARGH WHAT THE HELL

You bastard, bastard game. For all that I'm enjoying it, this was an absolutely incredibly huge dick move.

And right now. Right now, I'm spoiling for everyone, because fuck that. UFO: Afterlight. A long damn way into the game. One of your characters ups and humps off into retirement -- not dies, or anything like that. Just stops being a soldier and offers up his daughter as recompense.

In this case? In this game? For my situation? The bastard was my dual-pistol doom monster (full spec'd -- full gunman, full ambidexterity, full suit wearing, athletics, minors in stalking, sniping, beastman anatomy... 12 trainings between it all, and flat supernatural everything. Level twenty freaking eight soldier). He had around 4-5 times more kills than anyone else on my team -- somewhere between 250 and 300, compared to 80 or so on my next highest killcount, and an average of around 50-60 between the rest of the old team.

To put it in perspective. The mission before he decided to bugger off. He did roughly double the amount of damage of the entire rest of my team combined. And they're not slouches! Killed 20+ beastmen. Held the line, murdered everything, death with two hands. He's consistently done this, and regularly more-or-less solo'd missions, just walking through and flat out gunning down goddamn everything. And then. Message pops up! "Yo' dawgs, I'm done. Peace out!" (paraphrased)

And just leaves. No warning. No hints anywhere that would happen. Just one of my most senior soldiers -- one of the ones that had been there since day one of the game, been in every single freaking mission I've had -- and without a doubt my most deadly, getting up and just walking the hell off.

So. The old dude with the striped face. Harald Zamyatin. Don't train that bastard. Don't do anything with him. Bench the sumbench and leave him there, because he's going to bugger off and spend what remains of the game twiddling himself in the corner, laughing at your despair, rage, and wasted training efforts and experience points.

Altar games? You made a solid game. You can also go freaking screw yourselves.

My mother is way too overbearing. She just kicked me off my computer and searched it to make sure I'm not doing anything she wouldn't approve of.

I'm twenty, and I get in trouble for saying "shit". Imagine if she had enough interest to actually look at Dwarf Fortress instead of complaining that it seems weird.

That's... wow. I guess you'd call that impetus to move out?

Yeeeaaaah... get a job if you don't have one and ship off, I'd say.

I would if I could, but I'm close to school here, and I don't have the funds to move out. My job hit a really tight spot with work right before I left to go to college, and it has only gotten worse since. I've already mentioned it a few weeks ago, but everyone's hours had been cut. Some people who were full-time can't even get in 20 hours a week at the moment.

Have you considered investing in a lock? Not even anything fancy, just a cheap eye and hook that you could screw into the door and frame. The sort of thing that'll deter casual invasion of privacy but which can easily be kicked out if there's a fire or you start seizing while watching porn something. I mean, if they're letting you live there rent-free and not doing much of anything, that's not necessarily something to give up easily, joking aside.

He demands blood, obviously. There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Youtube. I get ads on videos even with AdBlock Plus. If the video ends, I can't replay it without refreshing the page. Both of these nuisances sprung up today.

I seem to remember reading somewhere something about people paying for adblock to not block their ads. Meaning that, so long as they have the money, adblock will not block their ads.

Not had that effect on me, though. If it's true, noscript's probably blocking the ads anyways.

Adblock does not make the blocklists though. It just runs them.

I ditched Adblock Plus for Adblock; it seems to be working waaay better.

Entirely unrelated endeavor, and apparently not one paid to allow video ads and such. Usually it even works on sites like BBC or CNN's videos. So much better than Plus.

Goddamn baytwelve, giving me Gateway Timeout errors the whole day yesterday. Did anybody else get something like that, or is it just me?

[10ebbor10]

Forums were down completely. Toady rebooted them. Let's hope they last.

Yep. Despite all my sacrifices to Sithis. So much blood... The apartment's a mess.
