I was looking through old photo albums of mine on Imgur and FaceBook and found pictures form an old Master of Orion 3 LP I ran a while back. This of course made me want to read the LP...

... and now I have the undefeatable urge to re-install it, patch it, and apply the many, many mods I have stored around here somewhere to make it playable, before diving back into it again.

What a cruel temptress addiction to flawed works of art is.

Well, aside from Right, which is actually people Mondegreening a Latin word ('rectus' = straight - why is it straight in Latin (and Polish, in fact) I do not even).

Same in German - 'recht'. Interestingly also means just or (rarely) satisfactory, so a 'right' angle might just mean that it's the right one as far as the carpenter is concerned.

I want to play sins(illegitimate, yes, but still) with two friends.

I have to go do things.

Come back, turns out one of us got a torrent with all the DLC.

THEREFORE WE HAVE TO DOWNLOAD HIS TORRENT.

FUCK.

I'm done for now. My brain is too stressed from RL things right now, I don't feel like boring anyone, but goddamnit. I just want to play fucking Star Trek Armada 3 with friends :c

Our building got a letter from our ISP because someone in another business had been torrenting on the building network, and someone noticed.

The worst part? They were downloading the Scorpion King 3. The shame of being caught downloading that movie is almost more than the shame of completely abusing the building's internet.

I take pleasure in the knowledge they likely were doing it at work to avoid fucking over their own service account, and they still got caught.

On the subject of PMs, I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who becomes unreasonably nervous when the little 1 pops up next to the button.

Oh good, it's not just me.

Add a fourth. Or... Whateverth.
I keep expecting someone important to yell at me for something.

Huh. That's probably the most compelling linguistic explanation I've yet heard for why they're called that.

Also the only one, but shh.

There's only like five "important" people on the forum, and only one of them is likely to yell at you.

[Criptfeind]

Five? I was only aware of three. Toady one, Three Toe, and THE ALMIGHTY OMNISCIENT KURTULMAK.

[Lyeos]

Yeah. Kurtulmak is scary as heck.
Still, I keep expecting to mess up somehow.

[Orange Wizard]

Five? I was only aware of three. Toady one, Three Toe, and THE ALMIGHTY OMNISCIENT KURTULMAK.

There's also Jonathan F. Sox from the LCS board, and Footkerchief, who's not really a mod but kind of is, or something.

[Criptfeind]

Eh, I dunno. I wouldn't call them important. Not compared to THE MAGNIFICENCE THAT IS KURTULMAK! No offense to them of course.

[Orange Wizard]

They're more important than the rest of us. And Kurtulmak is probably just ThreeToe.

[Sirus]

I've never even heard of this Kurtulmak person
