I don't plan on getting it for a little while. I have too much to do. I might wait until I'm finished with my dissertation proposal to get any new games.
But I guess it'll depend on whether or not I decide to buy a game on a whim.
Anno
Yeah you've got Responsibilities that are more "important" than playing games! I'm just a low-level undergrad I can be a little slacky, hoh hoh hoh.
Anno
Also Darkest Dungeon and its DLC is on sale until later this week. Tony you should give this game a spin.
Kirara, M.A.
That game is so good.
>>581676 Yeah, unfortunately. I played Origins with Fish, too, so she'd probably be disappointed if I played the new one without her. And Red Dead Redemption comes out this month, too!
Kirara, M.A.
I'm really excited for RDR. It's gonna get me all hyped up to visit Arizona and maybe New Mexico in December.
Anno
Well Rockstar's release on PC for RDR2 is still undetermined, I believe? So it's not something I can really care about yet. But for me The World Ends With You gets its English Switch release this month, so I'll have something to console myself with. I just hope I'll have put enough time into GU before that because I tend to have a hard time not hopping from big interest to big interest.
Anno
Sweet potato soup is really good. You add a bit of spice and it's a really fall-iconic meal too.
Kirara, M.A.
RDR2 is high priority for me. I'm terrified that it'll be bad or too glitchy or something. RDR is one of my favorite games. The OST, or at least, Dead Man's Gun, always makes me tear up. I got to watch Fish play RDR a few months ago, she really loved it. I want to show her the west this year.
Anno
There was also that song that triggers when you first cross into Mexico, which was a really neat bit of cinematic element in the game. It was a really solid game.
Kirara, M.A.
I want to visit the grand canyon with Fish. And maybe go camping in New Mexico.
Anno
The cloud layer was really low today because of the weather
It's a really spooky look in the downtown core with all the skyscrapers vanishing off into the clouds. I want to see what it's like out a window from that high up.
Kirara, M.A.
That's pretty cool.
What's with those "how many times can I visit your website" signs?
Anno
It's ads being run by a cannabis company that's looking to have roots in the ground as soon as the legalization drops. The bilboard cycles between questions like that and stuff like "Is Tweed (company name) a codename?" Basically trying to assauge curious new customers who might be intimidated by the long stigma of weed. They've bought out a couple ads in that part of the downtown core for a couple months now, which is probably one of the most expensive places to do so, so I'm a little surprised. But if you want to get your message out, there's probably not many other better places to do so.
Kirara, M.A.
Ugh, it sucks how everything gets super monetized like that. Rvrtyonr al /// Everyone always trying to be ready to make tons of money as soon as something like that happens.

Pretty quiet on /moe/ tonight.
Anno
Yeah. I'm a little worn out so my brain's not really working conversationally.
Anno
We did start on on de Beauvoir in my existentialism class today. My professor's a super-fan of her, even calling her her hero.
Her writing's so far the densest of the lot we've read so far. Camus was pretty light, prose-style almost, and Sartre was kind of more thick and essay-y. And now de Beauvoir is really heavy on these philisophical abstract concepts. It makes it a little difficult to process.
>>581695 Yeah, de Beauvoir can be pretty tough. She and Sartre were some wild motherfuckers, though. When you read her work, you can see why those two jived so well together. What with their orgies and marriage and all that.
Anno
Yeah, our professor's talked a bit about her and Sartre's history. It's kind of a romantic relationship they had. Well, like, obviously a deep and intense relationship. I mean more like the high level of things romantic than romance romantic.
She also, in a pursuit to find photos of her and Sartre laughing and being cheerful (to dissuade this notion that all philosophers are gloomy people) found pictures of the two of them with Che Guevera and Fidel Castro. Which isn't really surprising to me, but still kind of neat.
Kirara, M.A.
Sartre is my hero. He's so cool.
His life was so interesting.
One of the most interesting things, though, is that a character in one of his stories is someone who basically came to philosophical conclusions about the human condition while in a prisoner of war camp during WWI.
And later, while in a concentration camp in WWII, he started writing his magnum opus, Being and Nothingness.
It's like poetry.
Anno
It also means if I ever get to know my current Prime Minister I'll be like two or three degress of relation away from knowing Sartre and de Beauvoir!
Papa Trudeau extended an olive branch to Cuba and became fairly good friends with Castro, who then spent a bit of time with the Trudeau family when Justin was an infant and young boy. There's even stupid conspiracy theories that Justin is actually the illigitimate son of Trudeau's wife and Castro.

Good evening to you both too!
Kirara, M.A.
We're never going to make a better world through voting, but we can at least slow down the rate at which the world is destroyed. Harm reduction. I would appreciate it if you registered to vote and voted. Like, my life, and the lives of others, hang in the balance.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
If I register to vote I would need to know about what I'm voting for. That means I would have to actually look into that, which isn't something I do or would enjoy doing. And if I don't look into it that means I'd be voting blindly or strictly off the opinions of others, which is also something I wouldn't enjoy doing.
Kirara, M.A.
Well, when I lose my rights, I won't enjoy that, and I'd like to see people doing the bare minimum to ensure things don't get that far. I have to do a lot of things I don't enjoy when I'm trying to do things that might protect my rights. And the rights of others.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
>lose my rights you fucking what
Kirara, M.A.
LGBTQ+ folks are having their rights stripped away by the current administration. Trans people are having their passports taken away. Same-sex partners of diplomats are losing the ability to travel with their partners. Hispanic people are being imprisoned - some of them citizens. People are being threatened with having their citizenship revoked because the current administration is claiming people have been faking their birth certificate for 40+ years. Rules don't matter anymore.
And look at me. I'm Jewish. I'm always going to be the enemy. There are people calling for my death marching all the time and they actually go and hurt people, but they get protection. You probably can't understand what it's like to know that the world is falling apart and that nobody is going to protect me from it, but it's incredibly stressful. And things are only going to get worse.
So yes, having my rights taken from me is something I have to worry about.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
Well that's awkward.

You can make it not awkward by registering to vote and getting an informed opinion on the candidates for house of representatives in your district.

I have to dedicate serious amounts of time to this stuff while I'm in graduate school and working. I don't enjoy that.

I've kind of come to the conclusion that I've got to stop trying to hard to -so hard to do things by other people's regulations. It never works for me and all it does is cause me to get trapped in obsessive perfectionism and cause way too much undue stress. So maybe it might cost me in grade but on the other hand it might help me avoid being driven crazy.
Kirara, M.A.
I've started sleeping with a blindfold on recently. It seems to help a little. I'm sensitive to the light.
I've found I can sleep in most light levels, except when I've got like a lamp shining right at my face. If anything total darkness does kind of mess with me because I can't get a feel for the passing of time in that. I don't really like relying on the clock to know how much I've slept and that's my only resource if I don't have light in some degree.
Yuu
>>581828 I don't like light, but there are various light sources around my room anyway. I should get a mask for sleeping.
Kirara, M.A.
>>581846 I can't stop one light from shining in through my window and I figure the blindfold is better than destroying property. I should probably get a mask, too. Maybe one of those comfy gel ones.
>>581832 The light bothers me so much. I love total darkness.
LV
>>581847 >black curtains+taping the curtains so light doesn't shine through ezpz

LV
>>581850 Yeah, but a mask would be annoying to wear at night.
Kirara, M.A.
i've been sleeping with a blindfold on and it's been totally fine
LV
Good for you, m8. I tend to need a lot of darkness for sleeping anyway. Any kind of blinking lights makes it nearly impossible for me to fall asleep.
Kirara, M.A.
even persistent light makes it hard for me to sleep
when teacup lived with me, she needed lights on or she couldn't sleep that was really difficult
Anno
I'm sure I probably sleep better if I've fallen asleep in dark, or darker lighting at least. But as far as falling asleep, light has pretty much no impact on how well I fall asleep. If I'm tired and nodding off, I'll slip away easily. If I'm anxious or still running pretty fast brain-wise, no amount of darkness is going to put me to sleep.
TNTalesof !NuKeSlvmWE

It just struck me, but there is no such thing per se as radioactive glow
bang but this time he's better
? tritium is often used for its glow, which is caused by basically harmless levels of radiation
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
it isn'ät the radioactive material glowing, but something reacting with the radiation glowing something
bang but this time he's better
but that's what radioactive glow is
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
which is why "per se" if you just have tritium it doesn't glow you need the material that gets excited by the radiation and then glows
bang but this time he's better
yeah but that's like saying "we don't actually see anything we only see the rays of light that are reflected off of them" but that's what seeing things is
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>581965 no what you see is material that when excited glows it might gather that same energy from just say visible light but having small amount of constantly decaying radioactive material near it makes sure it always is excited so it glows
bang but this time he's better
but i'm saying that the effect you are describing is known as "radioactive glow" and so there is, in fact, such a thing
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
it is glow caused by radiation but the radiation or the radioactive material doesn't glow
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
there is a big difference there
bang but this time he's better
no there isn't really any difference at all except in the way you percieve the information
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
it is like saying plutonium glows but it doesn't glow because *** // plutonium gives a radioactive glow but it glows because it burns in contact with oxygen so it is just glowing because it is burning nothing to do with radiation or it being radioactive

It's pretty much a scathing critique of neo-liberalism and I reckon you'll get a kick out of it. Personally, I find some flaws with jumping straight to Adam Smith but it's a nice general overview of the past 300 years or so of economic development.

For the money, it's some of the best curry I've had and the taste is similar to the best method of grinding whole herbs/spices with a mortar and pestle instead of blending it in a food processer. The pressing and grinding releases more oils and flavor compounds into the mixture and helps emulsify it better as well. https://www.amazon.com/4oz-Green-Yellow-Curry-Pastes/dp/B000QU3JM0/ref=sr_1_4_s_it?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1535142622&sr=1-4&keywords=curry+paste

Oh yeah, Kirara, did you hear about what Bezos did? Bezos' Decision To Raise Wages Is Largely A Machiavellian Distraction
If Walmart matches this it's bye bye mom&pop
>For the many low wage Amazon workers - both full time and temporary - set to receive a raise thanks to the just announced boost in minimum pay to $15/hour, the news is certainly a big plus. It should also be noted that had Amazon not been subject to intense scrutiny and criticism from the likes of Bernie Sanders and others, Jeff Bezos never would have responded with such an aggressive move. That said, if you think a little beyond the surface level about why he’s doing this now and what his real motives are, it becomes clear nobody should take this move at face value.
>The real tell here is Bezos’ immediate emphasis on raising the national minimum wage to $15 an hour under the law. Pushing for a forced across the board wage hike everyone knows Amazon can cope with better than current or potential competition, makes his company look good while likely harming other business models in the process.
>This is how Bezos rolls, he’s willing to take short-term losses to dominate a market. What sacrifice is a wage hike if he assumes everyone else will have to do it as well? He knows Amazon’s got the resources and capability to automate in a way others simply can’t. Bezos see this as a win-win if he can also get everyone to pay $15 an hour. He gets to look like a leader, while also positioning Amazon for even greater market dominance in the long-run. You really think Bezos is advocating for a national minimum wage increase because he’s suddenly a Bernie Sanders populist? Don’t be stupid.
>>582052 Hm, the only Canadian seller for those charges over fifty CAD for the set. Some of those American sellers do seem to ship up here but it's probably gonna end up being a bit more expensive for me. I'll keep them in mind though.

The sauce for this turned out pretty good, but I think I could have done a better job with the chicken. >>582060 Regular Greek yoghurt, it's hard to find a decent plain yoghurt otherwise. I think the marinade was fine, maybe could have used a bit more with the amount of chicken I had. The bigger problem is that I think I left the chicken in the oven a bit too long, or at too hot a temperature. I was hoping the mixing it into the sauce would give it a bit more moisture but I don't think it fixed enough. But that's an easy thing to do better on next time.

Those Switch Online gear pieces are pretty good. Or maybe I just got lucky, don't know if they have specific skills they start with. But they still have a full four skill slots which is good regardless.

Oh it seems I was wrong about the elemental weapons. They do provide a stat boost to people who share the same element. I dont know how much though. It might be based on altars
It's just weird because it's not a solid boost number. I think it's a bonus 50% to the weapon's stats. But its giving me numbers like 53 and 54%
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
no blue that was a lead in for me to relink >>582037
Kirara, M.A.
STOP

Oh I get it now. The altars are messing up my numbers.

FormerRei@mobile
Oh no Somebody got him mid post Oh nvm
Koi
Well anyway, it doesnt help my might score but my 3* bow is stronger than my 4* due to this so I guess I'll keep using that. The extra ability on the 4* bow is useless to me anyway. It's a nice ability but i have never gotten a game changing benefit.

I tried asking them what the codes meant since the codes are the where the buildings are but they don't understand them - the lectures that is. so they will physically show us where the buildings are. A bit of odd way to do it with a treasure hunt

>Between 1936 and 1953, the number of known drug addicts in Britain fell from 616 to 290, before rising again to 454 by 1960. this statistic really bothers me or at least the implications of it as an exacerbation
月
on both levels, actually as raw information it's just dismissive and more importantly, on a storytelling level, like this article kind of has, statistics are just horrible as storytelling devices with narrative intent objectively or subjectively it's a bad statistic to use
ok that's the end of my hyperstimulated babble for today
FormerRei@mobile
I was mainly intrigued by the lack of a black market.
月
yeah that was more of the point of the article, i get that i'm still of the opinion that the manufacturing of a black market for opioids by the governments is somewhat intentional as a countermeasure why traffic humans when you can traffic pharmaceuticals instead
I know that I am truly fucked up now Seeing that I wake up as soon as my Stamina bar reaches maximum.

i haven't managed to beat the 16k raid yet i got close once but my team spent half the raid not attacking body parts or anything and it slowed us down
Koi
I somehow managed to get the second endeavor mark for 28k. It was such a good run I thought it would be 2 people on your team but it's two people in the whole raid and I'm just like
why pls
Kirara, M.A.

i'm at like 6k might

technician is to engineer as doctor is to ____?
Koi
ehh can't think of one. If you reversed it, I'd say physician is to doctor but can't think of something in the opposite direction
Koi
technicians are usually more specific to a certain thing. But doctor isn't very specific at all
月
doctor isn't, but any given doctor is same for technicians prob
Koi
True, but between technician and engineer, engineer is vague while technician is specific. Like an electrical engineer vs power line technician There are specific kinds of doctors but I can't think of a vaguer term to use in a similar encompassing set than "doctor" itself. That's why I think physician -> doctor works but doctor -> ?????

I wonder if people will get good enough so that we can actually reach 6k in the gold rewards. because right now, it's not looking that way
Kirara, M.A.
I think Fish downloaded it I doubt she'll keep up with it, though
Koi
I won't hold out hope. It would be nice to do raids though
Kirara, M.A.
having a dedicated raid gang would be cool

With as hard as it is to get more wyrmprints and water, it's amazing how little it actually adds to your stats when you level them

but I guess that's a good thing really
Kirara, M.A.
is there a way to unbind prints without copies?
Koi
5* prints can be unbound with a similar item to what I showed you before Those are in the Treasure Trade thing
Koi
Golden Key is the item 10 Golden Fragments = 1 Golden Key I don't know how to get fragments though
Kirara, M.A.
hmmm
Koi
It's probably not available anywhere yet. Like, this event is the first time that Sunlight Ore is available and that's used for unbinding the 5* Dragons
Koi
that said, this event only gives three of them and you need 10 to do an unbind wwww
Kirara, M.A.
figures
Koi
Not to mention you need 1600 Gold Emblems to even reach the third one. You can get gold in the 16k raid though so that's not too bad.

I nap a lot in the evening these days. But of course there's one day of the week that I'm in class during the space that I'm normally napping. Though it's Monday so I kind of reset a bit over the weekend. It's still not really a consistent sleeping schedule though.

It's not a bad different. I think I would have preferred the usual sauce I go with though, so there is a drawback.

>>582417 ugh, please don't just go around giving your book rights for free
Hell, the person behind The Witcher is kicking themselves in the face for not taking a percentage deal
Anno
Well really, he chose the lump sum because he was exceptionally dismissive of the potential of video games. And even in more recent times he's still acted like the games have done NOTHING for his books selling on an international level. What's really asinine is that he's actually suing CD Projeckt Red because Poland has a technicality rule about creative rights.
>>582424 Well to take his side on one thing. CDPR was relatively unknown before they took on the task of building a game out of his world. I can understand him having a hesitation towards their ability to deliver before that.
Koi
Yeah, he did but he's still a dumbass. It's not so much that I have sympathy for him but it's just BAD on a business level. Especially when you're looking at people who can clearly deliver.
Koi
I guess you're right on that one but this mistborn person doesn't have that defense right now and it would just make little sense to do so. Being culturally relevant without being compensated sucks.
Anno
Well Sanderson's certainly pretty well off regardless. He's a pretty popular author in the modern fantasy scene. I'm sure he wouldn't disagree to compensation but he's definitely not struggling to make ends meet either.
Anno
And unlike The Witcher's author he'd probably be really enthusiastic about being a creative input for games from his universe. For better or for worse, hah hah.
Kirara, M.A.

oh, so NOW I have Extra Raid Access... I was confused about what that was

>>582460 let's steal a nobel prize and melt it and sell the raw materials
FormerRei@mobile
They're made of gold. A nobel prize medal is worth more than its weight in gold you know.
FormerRei@mobile
Although if you were to steal one, steal Obama's. I can't think of a less deserving recipient than him. Well Watson and Crick sort of but like Even though they stole that woman's data they still did do some science.
You keep saying that and I keep not believing you.
Kirara, M.A.
he instituted policies that inordinately targeted black people and criminalized blackness i don't know why it's hard to believe
FormerRei@mobile
To be fair, most presidents have done that. So by that logic blacks would dislike most presidents. Anyways the reference to him as being "the first black president" is because of his origins, how he got into power and how it was taken away. >>582476 Carter was too pure for politics, he was just too good of a person.
Kirara, M.A.
well yeah except for carter
Anno
>>582466 yeah but it's more difficult to sell a nobel prize than it is to sell some gold
FormerRei@mobile
>>582477 It's also harder to steal a nobel prize than to steal some gold.
Reminder that Carter's grandson died mysteriously around the same time Carter's cancer went into remission.
Kirara, M.A.
I'm hungry, but I'm also tired.
Anno
I ate a lot earlier. And I also napped earlier. I guess I'm neither in particular, hah hah.
You don't want to eat anything before sleeping?
FormerRei@mobile
I ate way too much today. I had a big slice of pizza, two pop tarts, 3 hostess cupcakes, one chocolate twinky, a coke, a bunch of glasses of water, a bottle of Calpis and a large serving of beef using Oh and a popsicle.
Kirara, M.A.
>>582486 It's bad for you to eat right before you sleep.
Anno
Yeah, I know. It's probably also bad to not eat sufficiently too though. But I guess that's not necessarily the case, eh.
>>582491 If you're gonna lose either way, might as well go with the more enjoyable option! 'Course could just have a decent breakfast tomorrow morning if you've got the time.
FormerRei@mobile
>>582493 You never wake up at night with bad heartburn?
FormerRei@mobile
So I took my sleeping medicine an hour ago but I'm not tired. I'm kind of worried.
Kirara, M.A.
>>582493 Yeah, maybe I'll just have something light before bed.
>>582497 Around forty minutes. I'm afraid taking a shower right after taking it negated it somehow by waking me up. I also know I probably shouldn't be on my phone but usually I just get tired and thats when I say "going to bed, night".

Going to bed Hopefully I fall asleep.
Kirara, M.A.
Good luck.
When I woke up this morning, I had a text from a professor telling me she needed me to do a ton of work today. I could have just ignored it, but I'm trying to play by the rules a little more than usual. It meant I couldn't see Fish today which was pretty disappointing.
Kirara, M.A.Anno
I got the BDs for Yuru Camp yesterday. It'll be nice for a re-watch over the next while.
Kirara, M.A.
Maybe I'll take them with me next time I go camping.
Yeah I saw the picture of that earlier. That might make for a pretty good episodic series. Maybe I'll look into it when it's out.
Kirara, M.A.
Yeah, Mandalorians are cool and not touched on enough in existing media. Well, existing canon media.
Maybe he'll be like a space cowboy
Anno
Especially after they wiped the extended universe from true canon, there's almost nothing but the bits from the prequels and some minor details about them still kicking around. Plenty space to work with.
Kirara, M.A.
Yeah, agreed.
Anno
A Taiki Waititi episode would be pretty fun too. There's plenty of space in the Star Wars galaxy for his kind of weird space fantasy.
That zombie show y'all are watching sounds interesting
Anno
Yeah it's certainly surprised me, hah hah. There's a car accident right off the bat of the show though.
Kirara, M.A.
Oh, thanks for the warning. I'll have to wait to watch it so Fish can tell me when the accident is over.
Anno
It's kind of played humorously and dragged out more than it could have been. But it's still a car accident.
Yuu
it's really a japanese van thing
Kirara, M.A.
Sometimes those scenes bother me and sometimes they don't. It sounds like an interesting show, though.
Anno
I was expecting zombies, obviously. But beyond that this was pretty much nothing what I expected, hah hah. Certainly a refreshing pilot.
Kirara, M.A.
I'll check it out when I can.
Man. Fish basically missed two seasons of anime. Well, like one and a half When I think about it like that, it seems like an impossible amount of time.
Anno
It's a good four or five or so months. That's a long time to be gone, especially with how she was radio silent for a good chunk of it.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>582574 and when you met her how many infinite amounts of seasons had she missed?
Kirara, M.A.
I can't wait for things to go back to normal.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>582580 what if both of you start by watching Hoozuki?
Anno
Normal is good. People underestimate how nice normal is.
Kirara, M.A.
catching up on the last season is top priority
>>582582 yeah it's probably not going to be normal for a long time though since she has to do physical therapy and stuff or whatever im hoping they hire the physical therapist to come over here
Anno
>JoJo part five episode one airing in ten hours Good chance that means it'll be subbed for tomorrow night. How exciting.
>>582583 Yeah, I can imagine the therapy will be a lengthy process. Hopefully it can be accomodated for the two of you. That would be nice.
Kirara, M.A.
yeah i hope so sorry, it feels like all i talk about lately is fish
>Mega Man Live-Action Movie Officially Announced by Capcom
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>582588 i can invent a lot of things more annoying by many people including me and including ou but you being happy about fish returning to normal yeah

TN !PcAPtAiNJo
and that the small time store selling this shit has so varying stock
spiderman is "hämähäkkimies" hämähäkki is spider häkki means cage btw why the word is as it is no idea, I have no idea and I can't find any reason why it is as it is
Batman - lepakkomies, that ISN'T used by anyone batman is batman in finnish
spiderman is spiderman or hämähäkkimies/hämis or an equilevant shortehing
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
Superman is "Teräsmies" Man of steel, or literally Steel Man the original translation coming from the comic "Super man - man of steel" super coming from greece anyhow and being already in finnish, but being known to just highly educated so... "teräsmies" made more sense
I actually as a kid thought superman and "man of steel" ment two different things
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
so why batman isn't and never has been "lepakkomies" in finnish comics fuck if I know
