suddenly stopped myself halfway through implementing some stuff into a mod by seriously questioning whether I should include something so f

actually typing it out loud (uh or whatever you say for that) made me realize that it only matters in the scouter, so I could just sorta have "modes" in-game

shadow dragons come, get into BTtL mode with all the baggage that comes with that

...and tbh that's the only mode i'm going to need until Super comes out and Super will only require a new mode if it actually introduces new stuff

WOO STRESS DONE WITH

Someone stole the lid to my trash can. Why the fuck would anyone even bother with that?

It wasn't even a particularly nice one, as far as trash can lids go.

I am not sure if I should try eating this "jidan zhipin" (=egg product) and some sort of almonds in melted sugar candy thing that my Chinese teacher gave me, from china... :v

I feel so, so bad for anyone who has to deal with these people.
I don't even understand how it happens. How can someone who used a computer for hours a day not be able to work through a menu, do very simple troubleshooting, or if it comes to it, look up a solution on the only-technically-finite resources of the Internet.

I ate the almonds, they were ok.

I'm still not so sure about the egg paste xD

Yeeeeea. They're a lot more common then you might imagine, too. I'm no programmer or have a computer tech level of knowledge, but I'm able to deal with most issues just through quick internet research (and skilled enough to find internet access if there's any avaliable). I've set up simple SQL servers, compiled executables and dealt with annoying registry issues and viruses before just by googling how to do it (of course, I cant actualy remember how to do any of that by now :v).

Today, being able to deal with small computer issues and certain less then obscure functionalities are pretty much key skills to live properly. If the newer generation isn't able to deal with that, then.. :v

It concerns me that he seems to think that Ubuntu Touch is a viable/semi-viable phone OS choice, despite admitting that it doesn't work for a phone's primary or secondary use.

... that's a pretty good idea. You should do it. Could probably get people to buy it from you, if the quality's good enough. Know plenty of art-folks that wouldn't mind a resource like that.

I made a thread for D&D/Pathfinder discussions, we could continue this over there to avoid further derailing of the WTF thread, if you guys are so inclined.

There's already like three of those

Not completely accurate, there is the 5th ed thread in other games, but that mostly gets into mechanics, there are several let's play and forum games, and there is the tabletop games thread.  For whatever reason there was a LOT of talk about happenings in-game and regarding DMs etc. that was happening here and in the happy thread, so I decided to put together a place to specifically discuss those things.

it bothers me that he writes android off so easily, while lauding linux.

6 apps he should consider trying out:

SuperUser (comes with basically all root enabling packages.)
Terminal Emulator (gives access to android's adb shell directly on the phone)
Linux Deploy (what it says on the tin. very useful in getting what is esentially a chroot linux going with the phone's builtin kernel)
VNC viewer (linux deploy drops a linux that runs a vnc server. This lets you poke at the gui hosted by that vnc server from the android sandbox.)
ConnectBot (a nice ssh client, which again can connect to the linux deploy running instance of userspace linux inside its chroot, using ssh.)
BusyBox (the swiss army knife of embedded platforms. REALLY opens up what terminal emulator can do.)

With those 6 apps on my phone, the mittens are off.  I can run fucking apache web server FROM MY POCKET.  I can use regular expressions and bash scripts to chew through his list of WPA2 passwords in minutes, without having to find a PC. I can even run wifi password cracking tools right there in his classroom, without him even knowing. I can directly connect to an SMB or NFS share and start editing or moving files around. I can change filesystem permissions. I CAN EVEN PRINT to a network printer.  The phone in my hands is now what it actually is, a general purpose computing device in a tiny formfactor.

Then again, I know how to use a computer. :)

Also Hacker's Keyboard, probably.
The big issue with Android and doing anything power-user-y is that soft keyboards are horrible, horrible abominations (and it's not really their fault).

Indeed, that's why I drive a mytouch 4g slide, running cyanogenmod 9.

It's behind the times hardware wise, but it has a qwerty keyboard slide out.  I am making this post on it right now in fact.
