There's a thread openly debating what women want, again. 

 

Not the best Mel Gibson movie, but it's alright, I suppose...

So many early morning interviews for a graveyard shift job, even one of my orientation days is scheduled for early morning. 

[lynroy]

Yup, that's how it goes. Graveyard sucks ass. Feels like I've been doing that shift for an eternity.

^ Ooo nice smoldering avatar, lynroy. That's the second arty one of that character I've seen. Do you draw those yourself?

Dorian and he can trade 'stache grooming tips.

[lynroy]

Oh, thank you! No, I do not. I'm not very artistic unless it's carving pumpkins. It was done by a friend from the Drinkquisition, the Dame. She's done some stunning work.

When did you change your name? Genuinely lol'd.

 

My complaint, can't shake this damn cold, feel like crap all week. I'm also on the look out for some good horror movie suggestions, got time to kill. Last one I watched on Netflix was the Babadook, weird as f*ck but good.

[lynroy]

I changed it last week.

I want to watch The Babadook, because I love dark, twisted fairy tale stuff. But I read that it's slow paced and actually more about the idea of depression than just an actual monster. I hate watching films about depression.

It's not easy to watch, I couldn't sit through it again. You probably wouldn't like Oculus either, another movie I couldn't sit through again. Heavy.

 

Heard some good things about a show called Darknet, it's on Netflix I noticed, gonna check that out. Pan's Labyrinth is another on my to watch list, still haven't got around to that.

this semester my roommate who is really big on sub-culture stuff really wanted to get into horror and occult-esque movies.

 

She handles horror worse than me

[Duelist]

Pissed at myself for getting dragged into a firefight and dropping a decision.

The crowd got to me and I brawled for 2 rounds before I finally got to outboxing him. By then, even with the knockdown, it was too late. ****.

[Biotic Apostate]

Well, that "Good ol' Bivoar" thread is certainly amusing. Liking current BW is leading to WW3 (like literally), and making games just to please the audience is some kind of holy grail (because indie devs love living from paycheck to paycheck). And the "artist's crap" post might be the single most entitled...piece of text I've read recently, so bravo.

Seems I've moved out of a house with a currently recovering alcoholic to move into one with a semi functioning one. Functioning or no I don't really feel comfortable living with someone who so far has gotten drunk every day I've been here. At least it's a motivator to save up for a car and apartment quickly I suppose.

I burned the crap out of my arm earlier today while pulling dinner out of the oven. It wasn't too bad, but still stings like hell. I didn't drop dinner and thankfully the endorphins allowed me to eat comfortably. I had to have it bandaged in order to sleep. The worse part is going to be trying to remove the medical tape in a little while.

This was after accidentally banging my cheek against the coffee table while playing with my dogs. Oh and banging the crap out of my knee. My coordination has been non existent this weekend.

@Huldra Good luck on the graveyard shift. I've been on it for about 10 years and it doesn't get a lot easier with time. Hopefully it's a stepping stone to a better position at your job.

Also, hang in there with the alcoholic roommate. I hope s/he doesn't make your life any more difficult than it already is. <hug>

My throat feels like it was rubbed with sandpaper, and my head feels full of fog.

 

I really would rather not get sick, but too late I guess.

Being an adult can really suck. It makes me wonder why I was so eager to be one as a kid.

Propaganda. Movies make being an adult look so cool

[HuldraDancer]

Hearing the icecream truck and having no money for it. Though I guess it should be more concerning that I consider this a problem at all

Well, my mom always recommends gurgling hot salt water; that can help a bit with the soreness in the throat. Feel better soon!

I actually got sick more often as a kid. I used to get stomach viruses all the time. Back then I was basically like this guy.

I'm healthier now too, but for the last few years I've been getting stomach viruses annually. Thank the maker for Coca Cola.

 

Also, the german version of the theme to Rocko is permanently burned into my brain.

"Rockos modernes Leben! Manchmal voll daneben!"

I swear, this thread is at risk of turning into trans panic. I don't know where this fear of Mae replacing a female LI for straight men is coming from. It truly is bizarre to me.

I don't think its an entirely irrational expectation for her to be a companion and possible LI in the next game.  Given that its certainly possible she'd be a LI.

[nightscrawl]

^ That's not what I'm saying. I am referring to the irrational fear that she will replace a female LI for straight men. That is absurd.

I've been reading that, and anything I don't know about (related to the more recent DLCs) I've just been skimming past. Why am I not surprised at the posts bashing on that as well as those that are the writers of such posts?

There is one thing I do honestly like about threads like that. I read some of the best responses to such hatred. As much as it can be frustrating, intentional disdain and disgust towards that idea is actually becoming more rare. It's still there, in all of it's ugliness, but more and more posters are responding to such ideas the way the should. Shaking their head at such outright blind ignorance.

Eh, might as well vent here. I dated someone that was transgendered, M to F. At the time, "David" called himself by a male pronoun and male name, but he was just starting the process. Despite the lack of surgery (which he was getting started on) and despite him (and me) going by a male pronoun, he was still a woman. I'm hoping I can find "Desiree" (the name she became when she finished transitioning,) on facebook soon. I didn't see a transgendered person, I saw a person I wanted to date. It didn't last long, since he went to Texas to continue his transition. I wished him well and I hope life's treating her well. If I seem a little loose with my pronouns, it's because he still called himself by a male name and a male pronoun when he still lived in my town, but she's completed her transition since then.

The folks that are making such comments have probably never met a transgendered person in their life. DA is fantasy, ME is science-fantasy. A transgendered LI is too far apparently. Either it won't matter in the future since everyone can "pass," or it didn't exist. The latter makes me sadly chuckle, because surgery and modern medicine didn't create transgendered folks. Give me a break.

Edit: Names are changed for anonymity. And night, dave and Biotic, I love your posts.

well everyone gets two LI's abrring extra circumstances seems to be the going rule for now, were she to be an LI she would fill one of those slots, so I guess that what they mean by "replace".
