The Weird, Random, and Interesting things that Fit Nowhere Else Thread
Reminds me of the Wall of the Faithless...and perhaps something else from Planescape: Torment, too.

Solid State Drive
C:\Users\(Username)\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\(Random String.default)\ This is where Firefox's user profile data is stored in Windows 7. I don't remember exactly how transplanting the data into a new install works because it's been a while since I've done it myself, but I would imagine copying+overwriting the contents of the profile directory into whatever your new profile directory is in Windows 10 would work (this would also overwrite anything you have in your current Firefox profile, though, so back up anything you have there if necessary). Close Firefox before doing it, obviously: let me know how that goes if you try.

NFL 2016 Season
They were crazy in that entire second half. What was it, 9-28...game ends 38-28? Goodness gracious. I'm so glad the Raiders are my AFC/second team...so much fun. Also, Carr has a pretty legit shot at getting MVP this year if this continues...especially with Matt Ryan fading down the stretch, as he always does when he begins the year so brilliantly...

NFL 2016 Season
Yes, I was hoping the Chargers would win...and I was obviously hoping for the Cardinals' win. Buccaneers and Falcons and Redskins all being ahead of the Packers makes it much harder to get there, especially with the Lions soundly beating the Saints today, and the Giants soundly losing. I pray that at least one of the Cowboys and Giants beat the Lions...Giants should at least be trying, even if the Cowboys aren't.

The US Election, Part XI
California has such a bad rap for being overwhelmingly liberal...large swathes of the state are pretty conservative (and Christian!). This is the state that overturned...what was it, gay marriage?...by referendum not *that* incredibly long ago, after all. Yes, the state is still majority liberal...but it's not like the entire thing is just a hellhole of PC and SJW culture and such.

I remain a bit unconvinced of this game. I really disliked Skyward Sword, and this mostly looks more of the same. We'll see, I guess.

The 'Sidian Tyranny thread
For me, it's the basic problem of length and complexity. Most of BG's complexities (THAC0, AC, saving throws, resistances, etc. with probably the one exception of spell/ability effects), was stuff that happened behind the scenes: the actual combat system was pretty basic outside of a couple, maybe a few dozen battles throughout the game (think bosses, dragons, powerful spellcasters, etc.), and combat was usually pretty quick and deadly. In Pillars of Eternity, it feels like every single battle, down to the last kobold (or whatever the heck they called them: I can't remember, but there was a pretty equivalent creature) is overly complicated and lengthy. People complain about "trash" fights in BG2, but holy cow, give me these so-called trash fights if it means avoiding the repetitive monotony of PoE where I go through the same stupid encounter with the same stupid type of creature over and over and over, and it's just as complicated and long and tedious as it was the first time. As a huge BG/2 and PST fan, I really, really tried to like Pillars...Steam says I put 63 hours into it...but the more I played it, the more I hated it.

I hope we do. The one piece of bad news for you is that we don't play the Lions until week 16 and there's a chance that we will have nothing left to play for at that point in the season, so the Lions may be playing against the Boys 2nd stringers for half the game. To that end, I would expect you to root for the G-Men next week since a Dallas loss means they'll have to play hard the rest of the season while a win means they can start resting guys a bit. Of course, the Pack need to take care of business this week for any of that to matter. Who y'all playin'? Hosting Texans...then hosting the Seahawks... Now Texans, we SHOULD be able to handle...but we do have probably the worst secondary in the league, so maybe that's when Brock Osweiler and Hopkins finally look good: wouldn't surprise me. Seahawks, on the other hand...

Why's that? I don't have that much against the Cowboys...especially compared to most Packers fans. I don't take rivalries, current or historic, *too* seriously (this is all just a game and entertainment, after all), and the Cowboys almost certainly have the #1 seed locked down - the #2 at least. The Vikings, on the other hand, are competing for the division and/or a wildcard while the Packers are playing catch-up. This week isn't even the most important: the Lions@Cowboys is even more so, so please win there, too! Also, thank you for sparing my sight.

Just a few more hours before we see whether or not the Packers are all but eliminated from the playoffs, guys...and even if they win, then it'll be pretty much the same thing every week for the next five weeks. Can't wait. Well, I guess I can take comfort in the fact that we're not the Chargers...although, wait a second, the Chargers actually have more wins than we do. Darn. ...But we don't have an 8-2 team in our division, so yeah, (e): Actually, the Raiders are now 9-2, so that's even worse...
