Xavier Onassiss

Congrats, Xavier!
 
As for me, it's nice to see relatives I haven't seen in a long time. After losing quite a few relatives over the last year, it's good to get together with family.

I've mentioned Awesome Gamer Girl occasionally on the forum, starting when we met back in late 2012. (I think?)
 
It's my great pleasure to announce that she's now Awesome Gamer Fiancee, and she'll become my Awesome Gamer Spouse on June 18th.
 
Also, I've been at my new job for a year as of May 30th. We've just replaced both of our old clunker cars, and finally finished laminating all the floors.
 
The master bath is getting a complete remodel in July....

This post makes me extremely happy.  Good on you XO!  Nice to see that someone can win at this game. 

Congratulations, Xavier!

What can we say but...

Bo Diddley had him a rockin' big time
But he never made a solitary dime
Ya'll might laugh but it just ain't funny
Whatever happened to Bo Diddley's money ?

The record man gave him a rag-top car
Said, "Bo, you gonna be a rock 'n roll star
He didn't know he doing anything wrong
When he signed away all of his songs

Whatever happened to Bo Diddley's money?
Whatever happened to Bo Diddley's money?
Round the world in a station wagon
Workin' the road till his tail was a draggin'
Rockin' and a puffin' and makin' 'em dance
But never once seeing that cash advance

Whatever happened to Bo Diddley's money?
Whatever happened to Bo Diddley's money?
Whatever happened to Bo Diddley's money?
Whatever happened to Bo Diddley's money?

Call the FBI, call the IRS, call the BMI, call Leonard Chess
You know, Bo Diddley never saw enough
From "I'm a Man" and "Who Do You Love ?"
They just ain't cheatin' some rock 'n roll singer
Remember Bo Diddley is a gun slinger

Pay Bo Diddley
Pay Bo Diddley
Pay Bo Diddley
Pay Bo Diddley

That's right
Pay Bo Diddley
and Pay Little Richard, too
While you're at it

Pay Bo Diddley, and Little Richard, too

There's a lot of dumb on the internet today. 

The lights went out
(The last fuse blew)
The clocks all stopped
(It can't be true)
 
The program's wrong
(What can we do ?)
The printout's blocked
(It relied on you)
 
The turbine cracked up
The buildings froze up
The system choked up
What can we do ?
 
Please remember to mention me
In tapes you leave behind
 
We stood still
We all stood still
Still stood still
We're standing still
 
The screen shut down
(There's no reply)
The lifts all fall
(A siren cries)
 
And the radar fades
(A pilot sighs)
As the countdowns stall
(The readout lies)
 
The turbines cracked up
The buildings froze up
The system choked up
What can we do ?
 
Please remember to mention me
In tapes you leave behind
 
We stood still
We all stood still
Still stood still
We're standing still
 
The black box failed
(The codes got crossed)
And the jails decayed
(The keys got lost)
 
Everyone kissed
(We breathe exhaust)
In the new arcade
(Of the holocaust)
 
The turbine cracked up
The buildings froze up
The system choked up
What can we do ?
 
Please remember to mention me
In tapes you might leave behind
 
We stood still
We all stood still
Still stood still
We're standing still
We stood still
We all stood still
Still stood still
We're standing still

The only thing worse
Than fighting for the wrong side
Is not choosing one

I have just about had it with my phone. The dropped calls, the constant crashes, the periodic lag times the likes of which I haven’t experienced since LambdaMOO, the comically short battery life (which, in fairness, the nice lady at the store warned me would likely happen), the idiotic and counterintuitive autocorrect (seriously, do you really think I mean ‘thus’ every single time I swipe the word ‘this’?  What are the odds?), the need to reboot the phone every night so that it will recognize that it’s plugged in and needs to recharge (see ‘comically short battery life’ above), and now, for no readily apparent reason, now an incident where it only works on speaker mode? I’m sick of it. This phone fills me with anger, the kind of white-hot rage that make me want to shout unpleasant interjections at passing tumbleweeds, or knock low-flying birds out of the sky with a golf club. It makes me want to put my phone in a box, and then put that box in a larger box (you can see where I’m going with this, can’t you?), and then mail that box to myself, and when it’s delivered, SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER!
 
Seriously, my phone is getting on my nerves.
 
Sadly, replacement isn’t really an option right now.

Right click (on the Superhero Creator app, not the ad) and hit Play.

It's Chardonnay.
 
Do NOT drink the Schadenfreude.
 
Also, there's a "Nice Happy" thread somewhere on the board, ya know?

It's nice and quiet in there, mostly.

It's common for the local press to be unable or unwilling to report on government corruption and abuse in third world countries.

Gotta love Shadowrun; those are some great quotes.
 
Tonight was the 2nd episode of my latest Terracide campaign, Salvaging Hope: Part 1 - Omicron Uprising. I'll try to post some more quotes next week, but here's the best one from this session:
 
The crew of the interstellar salvage vessel Coprolite (the PCs) are preparing to infiltrate the Solar Express Corporation fast clipper Sovereign, a massive luxury liner, with the intention of hijacking it. A former Sovereign crew member, Talitha Borealis, is offering to help them, claiming to have knowledge of the ship's layout and security. 
 
First Officer Rene Damphousse: "Are you sure you know your way around the Sovereign?"
 
Talitha Borealis: "If I tell you there's a hot tub full of queso on that ship, pack a bikini and some chips."

Gotta love Shadowrun; those are some great quotes.
