Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

Perception as your dump stat plus the Obsessive-Compulsive disadvantage plus Bad Vision is a bad combination.

I just wasted thirty seconds trying to scrape the little crows off the Civ V intro screen, because that's how long it took to realize they weren't especially stubborn pieces of crud.

Sorry, little imaginary guys. I will build a statue in my capital in your honor... as soon as I can find some crow DLC. Lord knows there are sillier things in the Steam Workshop.

@Cerulean Dammit, I KNEW I should have used hyphens. Talk about an object lesson...

@001zlnv @anthracite god damn it dont encourage the dragon >_~

buh, i forgot that there was one last step of actually paying my premiums to BCBS, and that wasn't necessarily going to be a simple matter of keying in some credit card information on some handsomely designed, efficient website

clearly i was a fool

everything *seems* to be set for now, but apparently i am not able to pay online until i get a member id, and i can't get a member id until i pay my first premium...

which means i just got off the phone with the sweetest 126-year-old csr, who was helpful to the absolute best of her abilities but thanks to years and years of unstimulating drudgework had the effective memory of a goldfish

*sigh*

at least she was a very sweet and chipper goldfish, and i'm sure she is a very wise and sensible old lady in a more richly humane context outside of her day job. but it would have been nice if her memory hadn't fully reset itself every time she changed task screens

Humans, meet your successors. Tiny adorable raccoons, meet the people who left you all those neat ruins!

@Leucrotta @anthracite I'd seen it and been curious about it but it was during one of those "I can't afford the money-cost variety!"</coach_z> periods of my life. :) I'm tempted to see if I can just find a PDF of the cards or something and see if I can crib any good ideas from it. I love card mechanics in RPGs.

@mmsword @anthracite I mean, I can't pretend that isn't exactly what I'm looking for in a gaming experience. To the letter. :D

"Why, yes, transphobic little Clown World Pepe! I WOULD like another ​head to chew! You're so thoughtful. Here, come closer so I can smoosh you up with my mighty paw first. There's a good froggy."

Make that a baker's dozen. *resonant burp*

@mmsword @anthracite You know me. That sounded like... work. So I ate a fish, took a nap, and played 67 hours of nice familiar Slay The Spire instead. :>

@mmsword @anthracite Uh, yeah, but I didn't get very far due to interface/hardware issues. Maybe someday when I have a desktop and a proper num-pad keyboard! What little I did see entirely lived up to its imposing reputation though!

@001zlnv @anthracite OH MY GOD YES. :D Do it up as a one-pager like this, could be brilliant! Would be a good theme for a beer-and-pretzels card game, too!

@001zlnv @anthracite HAHAHA! Why, Holly, fancy meeting you here! (Great comment, too. So very Wednesday. Crash was a hell of a good, horrible novel.)

@001zlnv @anthracite Oops, no, that's him all right! I'd recognize that handwriting anywhere...

@001zlnv @anthracite OK, different guy then probably, but from the same neck of the RPG woods...

@001zlnv @anthracite Was this a one-page RPG written on notebook or graph paper in ridiculously neat penmanship, by any chance? There's one guy who's churned out, like, dozens of cute little minigames like that and the theme's ringing a bell...
