    The Internet has told me that Europe in general doesn't have window screens, but that's just the Internet talking. It might be wrong. I'm sure there's a European here who will be offended and tell me if that's the ca…
  • What fields are there for stamp designs? Just the normal short/examined/dropped plus message that shows up when you use it, or something else?
  • So I've been planning a wedding recently. As anyone with extensive OOC contact with me can attest, I have found this highly aggravating. It's not so much that I didn't have opinions on most of the things so much as that it never occurred to me that …
  • Shameless self promotion: I'm pretty sure that your local library will have one or two that Quettle's shelf doesn't.

    I probably have another couple of them sitting in my gigantic to-edit heap, too. But I can't promise those'll ever see th…
  • Have you Stellaris people run into any major bugs? I don't trust Paradox releases on the first day, but I retain some hope.
  • Artifact to recharge astral nodes would be good. As a courtesy to the people who come after and so you don't have to wait when people overdrain.

    If looking at it from the outside isn't accurate, how can you tell which way it is facing?
  • I have no faith after Tears of Pollaris (I think that was the one they canceled?) but I still really want to be hopeful about it.
  • It's less convenient because you have to cross reference things, but I think this has a more or less full list of ikons with …
  • Agree that they would be more appealing if it was less random. Maybe break them up into groups (Health/mana/ego, balance/equilibrium, mint/gumball/fireball) and give a random one from each group? Not necessarily increasing the number of candies per …
  • Question: Do mints only effect ego damage from ego drain attacks/debating, or also in NPC influence?
  • I have vague memories of being told that typecasts could be on the table for city/guild purchases. I'm not positive, I might have dreamed it. But I think someone told me that could be a patron thing. So definitely ask.
  • So, changing the fae changes Maeve, right? Because she's their collective spirit?

    Does that mean that she would start to take on eaf-like characteristics if people made enough of them? Or that we could turn her into a super eaf? (Admin, p…

    I have been saying this for years.
  • Today I learned that I can run Steam through the terminal. I got this:

    Running Steam on ubuntu 15.10 64-bit
    STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
    Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1450127196)
    l…
  • Already tried it. Steam shows up in the software center when I search for it, but when I click on it the software center says that there isn't a software package named Steam in my sources. I've tried installing both with the download from the Steam …
  • Here's my dissatisfaction: installing things in Ubuntu.

    I might be an idiot. There's a very real chance of that. I'd go so far as to say that it's likely. I spent three hours today trying to figure out how to install the Linux client for …
  • I cannot begin to express how happy I am that this exists.
  • Did you send it through Blackboard? I've found (having been on both ends) that spam filters tend to pick up class cancellations through Blackboard sometimes. I have yet to figure out how to prevent that, much to my irritation.
  • If you check LIBRARIES, you'll find that Magnagora, Glomdoring, and Celest all have reduced credibility this year. It's not showing on CULTURE, but that's not that weird. It'll probably show up there eventually. The thing is, I can't figure out what…
  • The million dollar question: Does Daraius take commissions?

    How much dreamweaving does it take to do?
  • I just begged all of Lirangsha and every krokani in it gave me exactly two gold. No variation at all. Bizarre coincidence, unknown (to me) mechanic, or April Fool's joke that someone forgot to turn off?

    Recently published means that it has not been approved by the library admin. They have to do it manually. That note will go away when it does, and it'll start counting for library points at the same time. You can iss…

    Point of reference on this, though: All of the rules content in the rulebooks (and most of their other ones) is available for free online, and it's completely legal. The adventure books are not free, and it's probably wort…
  • I just wanna go a day without power outages. People should learn to drive without taking down power lines.
  • I had hoped to avoid commenting here in the hope of conflict avoidance, but that's evidently not happening. So I'll explain my position on this here, we then we can all discuss whether it was correct or not. I don't think selling out anyone was a go…
  • An alternate future where Hallifaxian trill have debased their bloodlines and turned into mongrels, yes.
