BrotherFerg Posted December 11, 2016 Posted December 11, 2016 Something weird about this forum. I'm new but something feels like something big happened before I joined. Like maybe a lot of theads were deleted or maybe the site was down for awhile. 1 Why does a chair have arms and legs like a man, but can't walk or hold things?

Raithe Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 Alas, many innocent threads gave their life.... I've actually spent the weekend doing as little as possible beyond chilling, reading, poking at a few games and that sort of thing. Letting my legs recover. My bank balance might thank me by the time Christmas arrives, but I'm not sure my feet will forgive me - averaging that 20-25km walk every shift has definitely been a new experience. Plus, five weeks of this might not have been the best of time to break in new boots. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

Like maybe a lot of theads were deleted or maybe the site was down for awhile. Welcome to the forums, I meant to say this earlier Actually you right and it appears most people have forgotten what big event did happen Many of us were fixated and consumed by the US election on this forum and in RL There were constant debates, conspiracy theories and incomprehensible comments from Trump, I was on a forum and media high for 6-8 months .... So now I imagine we all just chilling for a bit as the election was very emotional for most of us on different levels 1 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

The result is that they spend all their time playing old RPG's (but not that old) whilst slandering new ones (which they still play anyway).

The stalking of Tessera and Wesp5 has continued for 7 years by several insane individuals who use the Codex. 90% of the posters on the forum could have their own entries on Encyclopedia Dramatica] due to how insane they sound. The Codex also hates the RPG Watch which is actually the real place for sophisticated RPG discussion and not the Codex where you're more likely to find a racist or homophobic thread. Once upon a time, the RPG Codex was considered a serious place back when developers from Bethesda and Bioware posted on them but after being threatened with rape (yeah, seriously) by the basement dwellers there, the developers decided they had enough abuse from the neckbeards and blocked off all communications with the 'dex. The result is that the Codex has been butt mad ever since towards Bethesda and Bioware. In truth, the Codex is the place you'd want to go if you want to gossip about developers and their private lives because you're a weirdo. Good luck having a civil "sophisticated" debate about an RPG though since most of these idiots try to act like /b/tards but actually come off sounding more retarded.

Tale Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 I experimented with ramen today. Mostly I learned that it's remarkably hard to screw up ramen so long as you're not being ridiculous. But also: Egg whites do not form ribbons when doing egg drop. But neither do they ruin the broth. They do leave a residue on the bottom of the pan, or at least with what I did. Salted mushrooms are pretty good. Putting broccoli into soup inevitably makes the entire thing taste a bit like broccoli soup. The flavor is strong with this vegetable. Medium size shrimp sink.

Bartimaeus Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 Congratulations, TrueNeutral! 1 Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.
