Statism - the fundamental dysfunction of our world
You're right, but Dags was parroting his handlers' indictment of the U.S. government. Seems weird, I know. Edit: Wait, I'm sorry, so did anything come of the Nerf babe. Is that inappropriate, nevermind.

Don't get to say this often, enough, but you are as wrong as it is possible to be.

Delayed to early 2015
Beyond pessimism, that's picking nits like a crazed man-bear-pig.

Delayed to early 2015
Saw this in the new Bucky Barnes comic: "Simplicity, Patience, Compassion ... these three are your greatest treasures. Simple in actions and thoughts--you return to the source of being. Patient with both friends and enemies--you accord with the way things are. Compassionate towards yourself--you reconcile all beings in the world." Works when applied to a game delay ... am still waiting to see if it helps me reconcile how badly people drive.

Installed Windows 10
Not to beat this thing, but now I see one explanation claiming the name is to avoid issues with older versions, specifically Win95 and 98, which used Win9x as file names, or some such.

Installed Windows 10
I know, it's supposed to be called Win9. The guy even makes a joke about "one OS to rule them all," but they're going for double digits.

Wasteland 2 Kickstarted
Aww, jeez. Hey, Obsidian, I live pretty close to Irvine, in case that's where my T-shirt add-ons originate ... let me know, I'll totally run up there and grab them ... you won't have to mail them to Sweden first or anything. I could stop by the Spectrum, get some noodles, maybe a latte.

Installed Windows 10
It appears to be the official name, but of course we never know. This is the quote I saw yesterday at Polygon: Maybe internally the tablet version of 8 was regarded as "9". Who knows.

Star Wars Episode 7 Thread
Dude is a modern-day Albert Bierstadt. This piece was inspired by a still from the movie, Once Upon a Time in the West, which in turn inspired Lucas originally. You can see that frame here. The artist's name is Joshua Viers, check out his page, you'll see what I mean about the Hudson River School comparisons.

Touché. Or in this case, tushy.

What you did today.
Bricks, what, no. A hard ass needs a soft pad, sometimes, like a reward for being so firm. I just put down for a captain's chair lounger, a recliner with ottoman so comfortable, I can't stay in it too long or I'll Rip Van Winkle.

Chris Avellone Birthday Thread 2014
Would you log in as yourself to acknowledge a stalker thread? No, no you would not. Happy Birthday, anyway, if things like noticing one's initial success at bio-automation and self-awareness are important. I think it is. Imagine, any other species that marked their own birth. Maybe it was a dinosaur ... returning every year to the beach where it first broke out of the egg. What if it dropped the bone of a prey item, each time, effectively counting its own age.

Wasteland 2 Kickstarted
Oh, for the love of ... christ, what else is actionable. If it makes you feel better, I shot one with my plasma gun and cut up another with my knife before figuring that out. Makes me feel worse, actually, since all of those scientists died horribly while I watched, standing, waiting for a prompt. At least you figured out there's a skill to save them with ... I just let 'em die. Meta game ... I don't can has it.

Installed Windows 10
So when the MS guy that introduced it, says it makes sense why they skipped 9 ... is it true. He said something like, when you see 10 as a whole, you'll understand.

The game looks and feels abysmal in every way
ManifestedISO replied to Malignacious's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I'm saying he's a Germanic hedge troll variant, the only species that puts effort into precisely accurate spelling.
