The oceans are gone, but their beds are in the same place.

Also, relevant fanfic.

[Descan]

The connection, though, is "Ravenous horde of alien body-snatchers and thieves," "plucky humans fighting against superior odds and pulling through,"

Heh sure, I'll grant that-

and "high-tech aliens with powerful weapons but few in number."

> Covenant being few in number

Eldar, sure.  Protoss, yeah.  The Covenant??

I never played Halo.

... Maybe relatively few? Compared to the flood at least? Or humans?

[Bohandas]

As soon as the repeat counter hits 4000 I can finally restart my computer

did

did you lose a bet?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Everything has been won

is the video important somehow?

Yeah, I don't get it.

Still waiting for an explanation of the significance

Yeaaah, not really.  The Covenant's theme is that they're at a conglomerate of at least 5 races, some of which were spacefaring.

The Flood are parasites who threaten to overwhelm the galaxy, but they start with small numbers escaping from a research/containment facility.

And humans are never few.  We are too fecund.

Fuck

Replaced another-another part in my PC.
Didn't work. Instantly threw a tantrum.
Am in my room whilst my more patient roomate goes through all of the shitty checks.

Have basically given up on PC master race. PC's are shit.

A second terra.

Look, kids!
It's HERESY!

I started work on a leitmotifs video for descend... after realizing that it has an average of a new leitmotif approximately every 8 seconds, i got cold feet

like people talk about Toby Fox's leitmotif work in Undertale but all that is infantile compared to Descend, I'm not sure there's comparing to this goddamn song, the only similar things I can think of are a few dance remixes and the 20 minute Garden of Eden

cold feet are for kicking ass with, finished the video anyway

[Yoink]

Fuck, suddenly emotions. I am unused to these particular emotions.
I'm not even entirely sure what they are... guilt? Sadness? Kind of a mix of the two, along with some weird kind of melancholy brought on by the end of something? Not really sure. Still, it feels pretty bad, and they really came out of nowhere. I think I need to listen to music or go for a walk or something.

Edit: Physically it feels somewhat similar to intense nervousness; a sort of tightness in/below the gut.

[Tack]

Ooh. A weight just below the chest?
I think that's regret.

[Yoink]

You know, I think that might be right, actually. 
Whatever the case, I just started tearing up/almost crying in my loungeroom. This is unacceptable.

Go away, emotions!

[Tack]

I've had gutclench levels of nostalgia before. But you generally know if it's nostalgia.


I almost miss the days when emotions had a physical effect on me.

[IcyTea31]

How do you know they aren't? Are you in on something the rest of us aren't?

* IcyTea31 gives greatorder a suspect look.

[Sergarr]

Only half of the designated time has passed, and I'm already pretty sure that this xkcd's prediction is completely wrong. Well, it's not all that surprising, coming from a self-declared mathematician, but still.

[Criptfeind]

Well. It's a joke? I'm not sure what's WTF worthy about a joke prediction of the future not being true, that seems to be the point. It'd be pretty WTF worthy if it did come true.
