If you don't hear from me after today, I've OD'd on jerky and am playing a harp in the meat-lovers heaven. ...also...have they invented wireless pc hardware yet?

That's what a manual is for. (there will be a manual that describes a bit more than hotkey configs, right? right?) We were all newcomers to a genre/gaming at some point or another. One either has the patience/desire to discover/learn all those nuances for fine tuning, or doesn't. I'd guess/hope the game is still playable/winnable even if you don't care to bother too much about such details...it'd just be that much harder.

I'm not sure whether to laugh or to be creeped out.

I think I love Kirill's hair more than anything else. Also, why does YouTube's video loading suck so much so often these days....

I haven't been playing any pc games, but I've become pretty good at Remote Juggling. ...at least end of 2013 to end of 2014 should pick things up a bit for me, gaming wise.

That supposes you actually login to the KS site with any decent frequency. But yeah...maybe I'll test that out, see what happens.

Raw kale tastes a lot like the small leaves off a bunch of broccoli, only with a much more bitter aftertaste. I like raw broccoli/leaves, but kale...blech. Not to be added to my "green vegies that are at least tolerable" list. I wish green didn't seem to = bitter 95% of the time.

My attention span is about equal to a cat. Which is at least better than a fruit fly. I think. I mean, cats can at least sit still and stare at the same object/face for long minutes, even if they don't notice/care that their tail is floating in the water bowl behind them. The latter being more of an indication of individual intelligence rather than attention span. So Mr. Grey must have a 1.5 INT. I give Mr. Black about a 3 INT...but he has 20 CHA to make up for it. I wonder what a dwarf hamster would be? What was I talking about, again?

Ah...I missed that, just saw the email-icon you can click on and off. Do you know if that stops email notification of pledge reward surveys and the like, too? That's one reason I haven't turned them off on any project...I was worried about that.

No more overweight gamers?

I must admit the amount of updates on this KS can be a bit....over the top. There have been 5 in the past 30 hours, for example. But one can always turn email delivery of updates off temporarily, if one wishes, and just check the KS project page when one feels like it. Altho, I think that option turns off all project updates, not just a specific project. Still...it's an option.

Hemlock Grove: Realized I had watched the 2nd episode (thinking it was the first) by mistake, so no wonder I was all "huh?" Fixed that then watched a couple more. But then .... I skipped to the very last episode and watched that. It's a problem with having a season all at once. Or a benefit, depending on your point of view....like when you skip forward because the pacing of the show is so glacial/weird/soap operaish you end up with no patience to sit through 9 more episodes for the "answers." So...mildly interesting with some ok actors but ultimately pointless - a bit like a less-amusing Twin Peaks with a horror fantasy setting. House of Cards was much better.

Companions, yay! That is all.

I love him, but I'm not actually sure I feel like giving Zach's project funds, myself, unless I had enough to get one of those top tiers. Because as mentioned, he's going to get plenty of cash anyway and I'm selfish like that. Maybe the $20 tho, I like soundtracks .... Besides, I'm still waiting for Michael Biehn's "I used to be almost famous and now I do terrible B movies" Kickstarter.

Woldan is my new favorite poster. Lovely photo. Hubs injured a shoulder so it was a take-it-easy Wed. Made some grub for him, had him all comfy on the couch, watched TV. And that sack of oranges he brought home during the weekend - turns out they are pretty good. I ate 3 this afternoon.

Started watching Netflix's new original Hemlock Grove. 1st episode was kinda "huh?" with all this character setup, but then at the end...ewww, that makeup scene of a werewolf change, heh. It's not, btw, very Twilight-y, despite seeming like it might be from the pics and such. Darker. Going to watch a couple more.

Backpacking is great. I tend to like being isolated too, at higher elevations, but I've only backpacked a few times. Hubby's always been a car camper...but we did it as isolated as possible (he hates the "campgrounds"). Just drive these random dirt roads until you hit some spot you like where no one's around and go from there. We've had lots of adventures like that...driving places where we never saw another car/person, having to bring in your own water, that sort of thing. Also ... my new favorite beef jerky is Ray's Own Brand. I ordered a few pounds today. Found that popular Best Beef Jerky review website. I'll have to try some of the high rated ones sometime.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1869987317/wish-i-was-here-1 It's Zach Braff, y'know? I wish I had $5000+ to spare. Maybe I can at least convince hubby that a LA premiere can be a fun vacation.

Yeah....I've never liked the "psychic guard" concept either. It's fine to have a reputation system where after you do so many known "bad" things or whatever in a town, the guards of that town start to chase after you but... Along with them knowing you've done wrong even when there are no witnesses, I don't like it when the rep system applies equally to all cities/towns everywhere in the world at once, or something. Unless PE has the magical equivalent of video surveillance, a global media news system and a TV in every home, at least initially such rep. systems should be town/area based. Manage to do "bad" and escape the guards in one town shouldn't mean the very next town you arrive in should immediately know you're an outlaw and chase you as soon as you try to step foot in. So each town/city could have a separate rep. counter and only when rep is bad in multiple places does a more widespread rep counter kick in. Or some such.

If humans always behaved logically, we'd be Vulcan instead.

The internet was made for LOLcats/animals, silly debates, and shopping. Besides, what else am I going to do at 2:30am.

You need to remedy this, now. How much you rough it just depends on what you feel like trying/doing. There's the whole "car camping" thing, for example, which is hardly roughing it most of the time. Sure you may be in a tent (that's put up closeish to where your car is parked), but you've also likely brought along coolers full of food/drinks and lots of other things. Some people car camp and never leave the crowded campground area they're using (basically small camping "towns"), while others may pick isolated places to park/pitch their tent and just use it as a basecamp while hiking around in isolation during the days. Backpacking into the wilderness is/can be a different beast, of course. And outside of emergency survival, you do need basic licenses to hunt/fish...in the US these can vary per state as well as possibly needing extra licensing for certain species etc.

Last thread Last post:

To the post limit, and beyond. Fresh thread.

If I say the drawing of the town reminds me of Tristram, will I be pelted with tomatoes? I love the ogre drawing. The skuldr is cool too, although it's a bit more demon-y than I think I was expecting for the game, for some reason. That's not an objection, btw.
