TURKEH DAI
General | Posted 17 years agoTomorrow, of course. But hell, I'll probably see more funky tidbits, ingredients, and scrawling recipe notes than the internet tomorrow, so I'll do it early.
Enjoy your holidays, guys!

Guess What I Spent the Last 2 Hours Doing
General | Posted 17 years agoMaking a program that rips images from image boards.
Yup. I'm doing the official maiden voyage of Ripper (revision 3) right now.... it's been going for a good.... 10 min.
Yeah, it's slow. I know. But that's what happens when you use a shit-poor algorithm for testing. I'll speed it the hell up later.

Citadel
General | Posted 17 years agoNot sure how many of you have ever heard the song, but Anna Nalick performs "Citadel" in her album "Wreck of the Day".
Listening to the lyrics in the car today while driving to the mall with my parents, I realized something I've never really thought about before.
Reflecting on the words, I realized that... I've created so much, an entire world all my own, set in such a citadel: Scion. It is a city carved from the living rock of a citadel of stone, thrust upwards from the earth to tower above the desert sands...
... but then, I thought. I am the creator of this small domain of imagination, the ruler of this fantastical land. I sit alone at the top of the citadel, looking down upon my creations...
... and I realize that, no matter how hard I may try, I can never truly live amongst them.
It's a rather humbling experience, in a way.

HAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR
General | Posted 17 years agoYa Rly.
Well...
General | Posted 17 years agoShit. So human rights is bust.
Anyway, if you haven't heard the news, now's the time to start writing letters to the newly-elected Obama, asking him to bring change; change in the form of equal rights.
As president, he could very well have the power to eliminate the bans on same-sex marriages through executive authority. As the people, we have the power to ask him to do just that.

Dr. Pepper Meme
General | Posted 17 years agoOkay, so I started this little experiment a little bit ago, and I was just reminded of it through an inadvertent moment of "oops".
YOUR TASK, should you choose to accept it, is to experiment with this magical substance known only as "Dr. Pepper". By adding different candies to the drink, we shall find out what the most delectable form of it is.
Notice: Please perform experiments in large glasses or cups... I learned this the hard way with the original setup.
Currently Tested:
Wintogreen Mint (Lifesavers) - Produces a smooth, sweet taste.
Cinnamon (Hard candy) - Has a sharp, 'spiced' tang.
Undergoing Consideration:
Black Licorice (Hard candy)
Caramel (Werthers)
Vanilla (???)

TF2 + Medic = WIN
General | Posted 17 years agoOkay.... out of curiosity, how many of you would believe I managed to get 20395 Heal Points in a single life, let alone a score of 51 with 14 ubers?
[campaign update] Tithe or Die
General | Posted 17 years agoWell... shit. I knew religious/traditionalists could be pretty low, but this is horrible.
As some of you might know, I've been lurking the "No on 8" newsletters for some time, and this most recent one appalls me to no end.
Several major contributors, including companies within and around California, have received threatening letters from the office of the "Yes on 8" opposition. These are no ordinary "Donate to us, or you'll only help to destroy the nation" kinds of propaganda garbage that you see every election. No, these are far worse.
Below is reproduced a portion of the letters received by major contributors, as seen within the newsletter:
ProtectMarriage.com, in a recent letter wrote:Were you to elect not to donate comparably, it would be a clear indication that you are in opposition to traditional marriage. You would leave us no other reasonable assumption. The names of any companies...that choose not to donate...to ProtectMarriage.com...will be published.
...We will contact you shortly to discuss your contribution.
Additionally, the letter is undersigned by the following members of their executive committee:
* Ron Prentice, campaign chairman
* Edward Dolejsi, executive director of the California Catholic Conference (the Official Voice of the Catholic Community in California)
* Mark Jansson, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
* Andrew Pugno, lawyer for ProtectMarriage.com.
And to think, that corporate America will do nothing in such an event....
So please, if anything, send your regards, well-wishes, or small donations to our friends at "http://www.noonprop8.com/".

Updations! (OK)
General | Posted 17 years agoWell, last night I started work on that story idea. I'll try to work in suggested species, soon. What started it all? A cup of Chai tea with a slice of orange. So I thought "Chai + Orange Schnapps", and voila, story.
In other news, I'm thinking I might need to replace my computer case some time so that I can cool it better. Of course, I want to get one of those itty bitty little cube-looking things because they're adorable. I even found one I could probably rig up with about... 3 fans or so, which will be excellent. Of course, the tricky part will be seeing if I could get one of the nice-looking bare-bones boxes and negotiating the removal of all existing hardware so I can get it uber-cheap.
I'ma go eat lunch now and then work on my story. I promise the boysmuts will happen soon.

They're always after my butt-meats
General | Posted 17 years agoOne day, you people will stop paying attention to the titles. One day....
So, since I can't seem to possibly figure out how I want to start off my story (I've even been reading a lot of the masterful
kyell's stuff for inspiration!)....
... I've decided I will start work on creating my own d20-compatible RPG. Yes, there will be some changes, but most of the core things will be there. I would be more than happy to hear peoples' thoughts, suggestions, rants, etc. on this, since so far, my planning really just consists of a single region based on a game I've been working on for.... 6+ years now.

Story-Time
General | Posted 17 years agoSo I've decided to get back into the writing loop, since I haven't done so in forever and would rather like to.... but there's a problem. I don't know what to write.
This is where you come in. Yes, you. I need suggestions.
The rules are simple. List 3 randomly chosen, inanimate objects from the room you are immediately in. Next name 2 species you would like to see appear as either characters or extras.
With a little luck, the winning selection will be featured in a short story :3

OH THE MEMETROVERSY!!
General | Posted 17 years ago"Borrowed" from 
Drayk, because he's just so cool :D
[01] Do you have the guts to answer these questions and re-post as The Controversial Survey?
I..... I dunno man. Is it politically correct? I mean, I don't want to sound like some kind of---
Who the fuck am I kidding, this thing looks fun >:3
[02] Would you do meth if it was legalized?
You're going to have to specify the verb "do". I believe "use" would be more correct, under the circumstances.
[03] Abortion: for or against it?
I lack a vagina. However, I agree with Drayk and what a friend Paul said: "Abortion helps get babies to heaven faster!"
Additionally, think of the scientific advancements we could make! Stem-cells for everyone!
[04] Do you think the world would fail with a female president?
Actually, the Whitehouse needs either a female president or a really really gay one. Have you seen that place? It's MAKEOVER TIME.
We could even make it into a reality TV show called "While you were Campaigning" or some shit like that!
[05] Do you believe in the death penalty?
Go ask Gandhi. Furthermore, for those of us who read, you'll realize it is actually more expensive to kill someone than to keep them in jail/prison for most of their life.
[06] Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?
Oddly enough.... this.... might help with the US's low average intelligence. It seems like just the thing for "Assisted Natural Selection".
[07] Are you for or against premarital sex?
Are you wearing a condom? Yes? Okay, carry on.
[08] Do you believe in God?
Which one, damnit?! Do you people even realize how many their are?! Besides, who the fuck is this "god" fellow, anyway... doesn't he have a name or something?
[09] Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?
What is love?
Baby don't hurt me,
Don't hurt me,
No more!
[10] Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA?
Yeah, don't they know about our failing economy and hordes of ravenous rednecks? They'd be better off moving to Canada or somewhere in South America!
[11] A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it?
Most girls are done playing with dolls around the age of .... 6?
[12] Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?
Short of a dissertation, I'd say. "Yes, no go suck a Heineken, you MADD-bitches."
[13] Should the war in Iraq be called off?
Huh? It's a war, now? I thought we were just killing off our military and trying to piss off foreign powers in an effort to reduce our expenditures and cut US dependence on foreign oil...
[14] Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree?
If you're so emo you have to get someone else to slit your wrist, prolly. No one should be that emo.
If you're in intense pain and can't even do more than blink and gargle a few sentences? It's your life, man. Do with it as you wish.
[15] Do you believe in spanking your children?
I dun have any, but that's a bit too kinky for me.
No, seriously. It's bad for you, it's bad for them. ESPECIALLY if they get into your Anita Blake books. Then it's bad for humanity.
[16] Would you burn an American flag for a million dollars?
Wait, what? $1,000,000 to show my own freedom guaranteed me by the 1st Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America which just so happens to be an Inalienable Right to all Citizens and People? Awesome!
[17] Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama?
You dumbass. Don't you know it's Palin vs. Obama? That McCain guy is just going to die of a heart attack or something just after the acceptance speech, and you know it.
[18] Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?
Im in ur /fa/, fursekyutan ur jernalz.

General | Posted 17 years agoI need to draw more. Gods, I feel bad for not drawing as much.... but I guess that happens when you're working on your job between school and classwork. If anything, I think I'll just draw either a basic reference sheet or something of the sort... that, or go crazy and try something more detailed. I've been meaning to try to start something I could really be proud of.
(I'm just happy I managed to find like, typo number three bajillion.... Javascript is teh suck because of that.)
In other news, I'm tired now and need sleep. Goodnight.
Aside:
So, I've been redesigning the Cerebrex and all (Dragon magazin #317) for use in a campaign with limited magic. The problem is that I have no idea what to replace Aggression Mastery with, since the whole rage/unrage something once a day is pretty lame if you ask me.
