@vahnj @starkatt Am I going to have to put money down for it at some point, when it turns into P2G? (pay to gay)

@vahnj Well, that's fair, and certainly where I've gotten my sense of humor, who got it from his dad, who was a legit vaudeville-style comedian. :-P

@vahnj @starkatt To be fair, I'm not and never will be a dad (far as I know), so... someday I'll find a better term that's less gendered. :-P

@starkatt Hi Gay, I'm a terrible dad joke! :-P

@Oneironott Sounds beautiful. <3

@zebratron2084 Always good to get that sort of thing correct, yeah. No worries!

(Now I can just make jokes about Yerba Mayté instead!)

All this chatter the last day or so about birds being dominant in this one particular world setting... and I find this on my RSS feed this evening: http://www.tor.com/2017/07/13/five-books-with-ambitious-birds/

Ambitious birds, indeed.

(cc @syka @literorrery @kauko @daniramone33 )

(Also @syka I was highly amused to discover that yes, your bird naming scheme /did/ come from that avian species name list in Stellaris. :-D )

@Soreth (I haven't read this story yet but I know what bulb is mentioned, and hey, I grew up in the same town, and it was burning through my entire lifetime. :-} )

@zebratron2084 *grins* Played fair, that's fine. :-}

@zebratron2084 Is that pronounced Mai Tai? :-D

@Oneironott @KawaSeadrake I don't know about that. I've seen you vent in similar ways fairly recently? But if it feels different internally, yeah, something to be a little wary of.

@Oneironott Yuuuup, that's gonna happen.

@Oneironott One of the central things about magical realism is never bothering to explain why things like magic exist. So yeah, it's perfectly legit to skip the 'why' and go straight to 'what happens'.

@Oneironott I get hung up on 'why' in so many things. It's a hard trap to get out of.

@Felthry Smol nibl! *nom*

@starkatt I do love slowly building tech trees though. Getting that fix right now with a lot of Stellaris.

@starkatt Well yeah, it's not quite there yet. I did get sucked in for a few weeks but am gonna wait a bit for future content updates.
