Goodnight!

Idea: A librarian-witch, whose specialty is books, words, and paper, who has a menagerie of animate origami familiars

Having four arms and four legs isn't much help with getting the groceries upstairs when you can't manage to make them manifest physically.

I have a pride icon now!

Is a four-legged mathematician a calculataur?

We are finally back to what passes for normal for us. Back home.

Good thing about getting a ps vita: It was such a commercial failure that even the good games for it are pretty cheap, even brand new.

And despite being a commercial failure it has a good selection of games, from what we've seen. Quite a few JRPGs, including one game we bought but haven't played yet, called Exist Archive, that's been called the spiritual successor to Valkyrie Profile, so that's exciting!

Very tired this evening... I think we're going to go to bed earlier than usual. Goodnight!

The PS Vita is odd. Why did they put a touch sensor on the back of it?

I mean, sure, the reason they aren't used is historical, like everything else to do with language. But they're nice sounds!

There are a few consonant clusters that don't occur in English, yet feel like they'd fit in perfectly fine, and I can't imagine why they aren't used. Specifically, /sv/, /sɹ/, /pf/, and maybe also /sf/, /bv/ and /kv/.

Quote from the game we're playing: "Oh, dear lord... I know I'm a self-centered capitalist pig, but please... save me anyway!"

Context: The character is a venture capitalist who got trapped (by the sudden appearance of monsters) in a town that owns a mine he wants to (buy? buy the product of? it's not clear), and he has all the usual greedy-merchant tropes.

Is "unironically" the new preferred term for "seriously"?

@Austin_Dern Felthry told me to let you know that a random monster in the game Ys I & II Chronicles (in the Moat of Burnedbless, if you have the game and want to see it for yourself) says, "I think I'm melting.... But I kinda like it!"

Apparently that reminded it of you!

Hello, everyone. How are you doing today? I hope you're doing well. It feels like current events are too much for us right now, and I'm sure that others feel the same way, and I want to make sure you all know, you're not alone.

We had a thought: If someone makes a DS emulator for the Playstation (3, 4, vita), they could call it "That PS DS BS", simultaneously being catchy and jokingly self-deprecating.

Apparently you can't post an image without text, so here's some text.

Where, I wonder, did the reduplication of titles in responses in military contexts come from? I'm talking about how a recruit is expected (at least, in the media we've seen; we've never actually been in or known anyone in any military) to reply to a superior with "Sir, yes, sir", rather than just "Yes, sir".
