You know, the idea was originated by the kind-hearted-yet-not-too-bright genetically engineered soldier in the crew, who for some reason thought there was a notable difference between just torpedoing the beast and dropping a glacier on her. If it was delliberate then all the crew was well aware that the end result was in either situation many tons of dead lizard, yet for some reason they decided to play along and humor their simple-minded crewmate.

In the last 24 hours I've gotten absurdly happy over catching a stream of a modder I pretty much idolize, become incredibly frustrated over computer problems with our desktop again, completely missed getting any sleep, laughed at "pyroclastic flows", fell in and out of sleep enough to the point I'm in a confuzing haze and am now concerned someone tried to set a fire outside our house.

What the fuck exactly is this day.

I dunno but I always thought pyroclastic flows were a terrifying concept, not funny. O.o

That feeling when less than a day is all it takes for someone to set a dog's leash training back at least four or five days. Thing was getting better, trying to pull itself away from the holder less, starting to figure out keeping pace a bit, picking up on minor verbal and physical/gesture cues, all the various rot that starts coming in as they get used to the desired behavior patterns. And now it's pretty much all gone, because someone else apparently doesn't give a single shit about having a dog that's not going to get itself killed.

Hell, I can't even really blame them, cause they're old, the animal was sprung on us without warning, and the ruddy thing's approaching about as poor a match for old people as possible,* but good gods I had forgotten how rapidly and obviously someone breaking consistency during the initial learning period fucks said period up, particularly when the animal itself is not in terribly good shape and seems to have a previous history of unaddressed bad behavior.

*Unfixed male, almost utterly untrained (the closest it comes is a shoddy job of house breaking and that's it.), high strung/fairly energetic breed that gives every indication of coming from a pretty bad environment, itself dumped on us with zero previous exposure, the list just goes on. This is something that should be in the house of someone learning how to handle rescue dogs or some shit, not two geriatrics and someone in as poor a situation health wise as me. No one here has the energy or consistency needed for this thing.

Not just the image, yeah. I've heard enough about them in class to know better than to be anywhere within 50 miles when a volcano erupts, preferably in a different drainage basin that doesn't pull water from the volcanoes slopes. :P

My town had some scattered power outages today.  Some power lines, and cars, got taken out by a small aircraft crash landing in a street.  Only the pilot was injured and he is alive, somehow.

Sooo, all this reminiscing has made me somewhat nostalgic for DF.


whats the current game look play/siege like compared to good ol' 34.11?

- are emotions still stupid out of balance?
- are sieges still weaksauce and/or nonexistent?
- are kobolds back?  ambushes?
- undead?  are they still unkillable monstrosities?
- are forts still Fun?  by means other than player-intervention?


I mean, I consider 34 to be the pinnacle of DF, but I wasnt here for 2d.  Heard that comparatively 34 was weak bags of pubs.   Its kind of how i like Civ IV the most but veterans consider III to be better but my first civ game was IV

1. yes, too easy in general
2. no
3. yes, they're back
4. no
5. yes

A US football player has been arrested naked. For the third time.

This is his mugshot from the first arrest:

Clearly, you have here a man who's made peace with his demons and feels no shame getting fully nekkid in random stranger's houses.

I mean, to be fair, apparently he'd been shot in the stomach in the first one...

No check the story, that's not the one where he was shot!

That crying photo was from January, the shooting one was from last June. He actually looks more calm in that one, probably because they pumped him full of painkillers, unless they've mixed up the captions, which is still possible.

But in the new photo he looks like someone at peace with the universe. He's found his calling as the naked burglar.

It took me a while but yeah, shot in june, that's a january mugshot

so

either drugs, mental breakdown, or something else caused it

and i'm guessing the crying is from either that cause (esp. if it were drugs or a mental break) OR he's thinking "aw shit dude my career is over"

and in the second photo, it's become old hat to him. "Yeeeeah, naked again. I still got mah job, though!"

He's retired from the game 10 years ago. The story has legs just as the triple-time naked burglar story anyway, him being an ex-NFL player is the sidenote.
