Yes yes yes I am moving to the Pacific NW as soon as... someday. I hope it's stormy in Florida when I go because I'd get wet from the ocean anyway and you can't get sunburned when it's raining.

Thanks everyone for the handholding r/t Steam. I wrote all the game names down and as soon as I get the right kind of controller I'm in.

Add me on steam I'll give you a free copy of Toki Tori.

Look on my Posts, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away
Come at me, bitches. SAthora (on steam). I'm going to bed in a few and I have to order a controller but at least it's up and running!

Also I agree with this. People who came from pretty happy families and who have few problems usually just get awkward and unhappy when they hear the truth. Tbh I don't really understand people who have awesome families and have never been depressed so it cuts both ways.

It adds extra fun and challenge if you have a controller that only works half the time. I'll be fighting some dudes, as you do, and then, oh I'm slowly drifting away instead, never mind.

Teal and green are definitely the runners-up though, and I am building more tolerance for pink.

Purple and teal are my favourite colours too, but I don't wear them too often.

I gave a purple and teal colour scheme to one of my comic characters. She made her first appearance this week! She's going to be fun to draw because she's the most stylish one of the group and is always wearing accessories and asymmetrical outfits. Her element is space, so she'll be wearing lots of star and moon designs too.

oh poo poo, bundles.. i think i have a bunch of games I don't want, actually.

Does anyone want any of these?

Anomaly 2
Hero Academy
The Bard's Tale
Bad Hotel
Solar 2
Civilization III: Complete
Sid Meier's Pirates!
Sid Meier's Ace Patrol + Ace Patrol: Pacific skies

These are all humble bundle games I don't want to keep and can gift via steam.

I also have a copy of Day of Defeat: Source in my inventory that I can't get rid of. I don't even know if people still play that thing.

I was playing a game with jetsetlemming and only 20 minutes or so in there was a part where you just had to swim through space to get to the end of the tunnel or something. Nothing too hard. For some reason I could not move forward so I kept drifting back and flailing around. I was convinced I was just too dumb to remember how to use the buttons and finally jsl came over to help me. It turns out that my keyboard was just being stupid and I died because we couldn't find a solution.

My video game adventures are really exciting.

I keep getting mad at people posting poo poo about Seaworld because they're loving idiots who don't understand consequences.

Many of these orcas were born and raised in captivity. You can't just "release" them. We tried that with Keiko, who actually WAS born in the wild. He lingered around humans and then died. He did not speak "wild orca" and other orcas would not interact with him. I think Seaworld is inherently inhumane to whales, but in that case, forbid new acquisitions and make the current ones comfortable, or euthanize them humanely. They can't survive in the wild any more than you or I if dumped into the Serengeti.

Once Blackfish hit Netflix my facebook turned into a mob of people calling for the immediate release of all orcas and other sea creatures. What the gently caress do you think is going to happen when you take an animal that has spent its whole life in a tank being handfed and put it in the ocean? Do people think the instincts will just switch on?

People are dumb. I thought everyone basically learned that you shouldn't dump animals back into nature in elementary school? Personally I think you should dump those posters in the Serengeti, it would be hilarious and they wouldn't be able to post without internet access.

It's very anthrocentric and frankly speciesist of you to suggest that building computers is the only way to measure intelligence. Dolphins have flippers, they can't use computers.
