Apr 11, 2019 9:07 AM - Statboy: and here I was genuinely interested to know what they asked on Jeopardy.
Apr 11, 2019 9:08 AM - VaultBot: we should consider telling ghost lady that rasputin had her family's captured spirits...
Apr 11, 2019 9:08 AM - Statboy: It has been a pleasant surprise to see just how much PF takes from actual folklore and how true they stay to the source material
Apr 11, 2019 9:30 AM - Statboy: I don't know if you remember back to book 1, when you ran across a woman with a fox tail, that's from asian folklore
Apr 11, 2019 10:49 AM - TimeCrush: Katsune
Apr 11, 2019 12:25 PM - Statboy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumiho
Apr 11, 2019 12:26 PM - Statboy: it was really cool, in the book because they are usually evil and only seduce to kill, but the one you encountered had fallen in love and married a human
Apr 11, 2019 12:27 PM - Statboy: She said a "Moss Troll" had taken him, but it was really the sentient moss that made him look like a moss troll.
Apr 11, 2019 12:27 PM - Statboy: If you had not saved him, she would have stalked you guys and attacked the next time you slept, slipping into somebodies tent then seduce/kill
Apr 11, 2019 12:28 PM - Statboy: but since you saved her husband she gave you a gift
Apr 11, 2019 12:29 PM - Statboy: i think Kitsune/Kumiho/Gumiho all share the same origin in Chinese mythology though
Apr 11, 2019 3:46 PM - Hexalan: stat are you an anime watching weeb
Apr 11, 2019 3:47 PM - Hexalan: i ask because it's a 97% chance that there being kitsunes in pathfinder is motivated primarily by the writer being an anime watching weeb who wanted big titty kitsune waifus in his setting
Apr 11, 2019 3:48 PM - Hexalan: not out of particular respect for asian folk lore
Apr 11, 2019 4:15 PM - VaultBot: was fucking gross
Apr 11, 2019 4:15 PM - VintagePC: Lol, I thought you were asking in jest as a reply to my "I'll take,..."
Apr 11, 2019 4:15 PM - VintagePC: The actual answer was "In 2000 the Russian Orthodox Church canonized 7 members of this family, 82 years after their deaths"
Apr 11, 2019 4:16 PM - Hexalan: Not the romanovs?
Apr 11, 2019 5:06 PM - Statboy: it would be the Romanov's, whom you guys now know had 5 children, 4 girls and the one boy Alexei
Apr 11, 2019 5:17 PM - VintagePC: yup, that is why I knew
Apr 11, 2019 9:04 PM - VintagePC: it got even more obvious when you read between the lines that they must have all died at the same time.
Apr 11, 2019 9:08 PM - Hexalan: i think a lot of russians died in 1918

Apr 12, 2019 8:50 AM - Statboy: The story that Alexandria Romanov gave you is historically accurate. They sewed the crown jewels into their clothes for protection. They were staying with loyalists they trusted, who one day took them to the basement lined them up and shot them
Apr 12, 2019 8:53 AM - Statboy: Bullets ricocheted off the jewels so they didnt die as quickly, but enough bullets got thru to kill them all
Apr 12, 2019 12:56 PM - theLumberJack: fuck new jersey
Apr 12, 2019 12:56 PM - theLumberJack: slash nweark
Apr 12, 2019 1:00 PM - theLumberJack: one extra day added to my trip but at least i am home now
Apr 12, 2019 1:45 PM - VintagePC: delayed flight?
Apr 12, 2019 2:15 PM - theLumberJack: yeah i missed my connection last night which was the last flight to halifax
Apr 12, 2019 2:15 PM - theLumberJack: i wouldn't have missed it if they hadn't change the gate to a completely different terminal
Apr 12, 2019 2:20 PM - VintagePC: mhm
Apr 12, 2019 2:20 PM - VintagePC: I've had that happen in toronto or montreal. Murphy's law, ALL the way at the other end of the damn airport
Apr 12, 2019 2:21 PM - VintagePC: didn't miss the flight but damn close
Apr 12, 2019 4:11 PM - theLumberJack: i had to take like a bus to the other terminal and got to the gate as the ramp pulled back
Apr 12, 2019 4:18 PM - Statboy: lol, watch the final Grand Tour from this season, they a make motorized suitcase, and a laptop/skateboard
Apr 12, 2019 4:21 PM - Statboy: just for going across airports

Apr 14, 2019 at 4:17 PM - Reechard: oh I really hate that
Apr 14, 2019 at 4:17 PM - Reechard: I bought a weedwhacker to build a GoPed once, never actually followed through, you should totally do it.
Apr 14, 2019 at 4:33 PM - Statboy: gun to my head and I had to make a choice, I would rather go to a Cardi B concert than watch 5 seconds of Tic Toc
Apr 14, 2019 at 4:34 PM - Statboy: or any music.ly
Apr 14, 2019 at 4:35 PM - Statboy: at least at the Cardi B concert I'll be drugged up so i won't have to listen to it
Apr 14, 2019 at 4:40 PM - Statboy runs to youtube and plays Stairway to Heaven
Apr 14, 2019 at 4:40 PM - Statboy while yelling at the kids to get off my lawn
Apr 14, 2019 at 7:21 PM - VintagePC: lol
Apr 14, 2019 at 7:22 PM - VintagePC: further downside of getting older... now you know how your parents felt when they told you to turn off that "modern trash music"...
Apr 14, 2019 at 7:23 PM - VintagePC: autotuned shit these days just grates on my nerves
Apr 14, 2019 at 7:23 PM - VintagePC: ...always has
Apr 14, 2019 at 7:24 PM - VintagePC joins stat in yelling at the whippersnappers to get off the damn lawn
Apr 14, 2019 at 8:56 PM - Hexalan: i only listen to viking chants sung by actual pagan shamans on stony beaches

Apr 15, 2019 6:27 AM - theLumberJack: Yeah fuck those shamans on sand beaches

Apr 18, 2019 7:29 AM - TimeCrush: >My uncle was known around town as the “fudge man.” Every year, he would make pounds of it for Christmas parties, bake sales, and gifts. It was legendary—people would beg him for the recipe. When he was ill in the hospital, before he passed, his wife begged him for the recipe so she could keep his memory going. He replied, “It’s on the side of the marshmallow fluff container.”

Apr 18, 2019 4:52 PM - VintagePC: ... wtf did I just watch.?

Apr 21, 2019 7:34 AM - Statboy: I found the most Windows thread ever in their support forum
Apr 21, 2019 7:34 AM - VaultBot: i'm not a good one.
Apr 21, 2019 7:34 AM - Statboy: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...monitor/41d052e6-bfe9-4f3f-9ac2-7b1f21376f2c?
Apr 21, 2019 7:35 AM - Statboy: Issue found in 2010 on windows 7. Found is still an issue today 9 years later, with windows 10
Apr 21, 2019 7:37 AM - Statboy: the people in forums gave up on posting for an answer in 2017
Apr 21, 2019 8:49 AM - Reechard: heh that's a software bug with the screensaver that apparently the devs never cared to fix
Apr 21, 2019 9:42 AM - Statboy: they didn't fix for nine years and 3 new versions
Apr 21, 2019 1:52 PM - Statboy: so i bought some more animated things for use on roll 20, such as weather effects like rain and snow, and switching from day to dusk to night to sunrise
Apr 21, 2019 1:52 PM - Statboy: holy crap that shit slowed roll20 down to a crawl, it was as bad as dynamic lighting
Apr 21, 2019 3:31 PM - VaultBot: and i
Apr 21, 2019 3:31 PM - VintagePC: At least fantasy grounds hat that shit down pat
Apr 21, 2019 4:43 PM - Statboy: I've never made a game on FG, could it do animated gifs and dynamic lighting?
Apr 21, 2019 5:22 PM - VintagePC: would you like to play with it?
Apr 21, 2019 5:23 PM - VintagePC: VF4 has a copy on retainer
Apr 21, 2019 5:23 PM - VintagePC: but yes, it has some lighting stuff. It's been ages so I can't recall what else but it was way better than R20 at the time
Apr 21, 2019 5:24 PM - VintagePC: you can do stuff like drag-drop attacks and whatnot and it'll auto-calculate damage on the target, etc
Apr 21, 2019 6:59 PM - Statboy: Its too late to switch right now. Also ive dropped money for roll20 artwork
Apr 21, 2019 7:23 PM - VintagePC: that wasn't a "you wanna switch", it was just an invitation to have a play if you're interested so you can judge for future use
Apr 21, 2019 8:39 PM - Statboy: maybe someday, but honestly roll20 keeps making real improvements

 

[VaultBot]

Apr 22, 2019 7:00 AM - theLumberJack: splyons uses the dynamic lightning and i found it slow but switching back to firefox for R20 seemed to make a big difference
Apr 22, 2019 9:12 AM - Statboy: I might look at that
Apr 22, 2019 9:39 AM - Reechard: Our copy of Fantasy Grounds is a "GM Edition" too, so you don't need full copies of the game for your players
Apr 22, 2019 9:39 AM - VaultBot: we just beat a team in urf mode
Apr 22, 2019 9:39 AM - Reechard: they can download the demo edition and when they log into your campaign it unlocks everything *for your campaign*
Apr 22, 2019 11:10 AM - Splyons1993: Hey guys I won’t be able to make pathfinder tonight. Forgot I have a movie date with my ladyfriend
Apr 22, 2019 12:33 PM - TimeCrush: City of Heroes up and running again if anybody is interested. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OQ68rHr_BbA9QoHEEx9atG-xZiMFKCiXZVDPQ1JvrKc/edit
Apr 22, 2019 12:34 PM - TimeCrush: Somebody did the equivalent of finding the Warcraft III Dev disc, and decided not to return it.

Apr 24, 2019 at 1:18 PM - Hexalan: this is vile
Apr 24, 2019 at 1:54 PM - Statboy: my favorite is still Christian Life International's softball team, they didn't think putting CLI on the shirt was enough to let people know its a church
Apr 24, 2019 at 1:54 PM - Statboy: so they added a cross after it
Apr 24, 2019 at 1:54 PM - Statboy: CLIt
Apr 24, 2019 at 2:19 PM - VintagePC: But did they play in canada and take that train?

Apr 29, 2019 6:21 AM - VintagePC: 4k tv-as-a-monitor? Also, that's an impressive laserdisc collection...
Apr 29, 2019 6:22 AM - Reechard: yeah it was hard to beat the price.
Apr 29, 2019 6:22 AM - VaultBot: not tonight
Apr 29, 2019 6:22 AM - Reechard: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsun...rt-4k-uhd-tv-with-hdr/6332597.p?skuId=6332597
Apr 29, 2019 6:23 AM - Reechard: and now I won't have to struggle to fit Stat's maps on screen.
Apr 29, 2019 6:23 AM - VintagePC: lol
Apr 29, 2019 6:23 AM - Reechard: the only issue is...
Apr 29, 2019 6:24 AM - Reechard: now I have an excuse to build a new PC.
Apr 29, 2019 6:24 AM - VintagePC: I did the same recently but opted for a tv minus the smart garbage. Turns out my video card can't handle 4k
Apr 29, 2019 6:24 AM - Reechard: my GPU is *chuggin* on some of this stuff.
Apr 29, 2019 6:24 AM - Reechard: I have a GTX970
Apr 29, 2019 6:24 AM - VintagePC: hah, you too
Apr 29, 2019 6:24 AM - Reechard: so it does *reasonably* well
Apr 29, 2019 6:25 AM - VaultBot: the next borderlands game i am actually excited about. only took them to the qvga/vga/svga/xga/sxga naming scheme?
Apr 29, 2019 6:25 AM - Reechard: the Bioshock series (even the remasters) run very well on high settings, which was a huge surprise for me.
Apr 29, 2019 6:26 AM - VintagePC: I have my old desktop I plan to stick a new video card in at some point
Apr 29, 2019 6:27 AM - VintagePC: to use as a media PC
Apr 29, 2019 6:30 AM - Reechard: I *kinda* wanted to find a display without the smart tv shit
Apr 29, 2019 6:30 AM - Reechard: but I also wanted to pay $225 so I compromised and paid $225.
Apr 29, 2019 6:30 AM - Reechard: privacy is an illusion.
Apr 29, 2019 6:31 AM - VintagePC: I paid 229
Apr 29, 2019 6:31 AM - VaultBot: lonesome revealing his browsing habits?
Apr 29, 2019 6:31 AM - Reechard: especially online privacy
Apr 29, 2019 6:31 AM - Reechard: LOL VB relevant
Apr 29, 2019 6:33 AM - VintagePC: the reason it's going by the wayside is people have become so complacent about it, companies know it and continue making it worse
Apr 29, 2019 6:34 AM - VaultBot: sweet, tf2ware is back up and then got mad because no one responded to his unsolicited application to join a game
Apr 29, 2019 6:34 AM - Reechard: yep
Apr 29, 2019 6:34 AM - Reechard: and public opinion about it is finally becoming a thing
Apr 29, 2019 6:34 AM - Reechard: which took entirely too long
Apr 29, 2019 6:49 AM - Statboy: I remember being up in arms about privacy years ago and all you fuckers in box just said "meh" so dont act like you werent part of the problem here
Apr 29, 2019 6:51 AM - Statboy: I never turn on GPS on my phone, i run several blockers on my browser like disconnect and privacy badger, and have for years now
Apr 29, 2019 6:52 AM - Statboy: I do wish i could block 100% of data collection but unfortunately i cannot, yet...
Apr 29, 2019 7:08 AM - theLumberJack: i just spoof all my IPs to Statboy's
Apr 29, 2019 7:22 AM - TimeCrush: I'm still in the 'meh' version
Apr 29, 2019 7:22 AM - TimeCrush: Upset? Yes. Going to do anything effective about it? Nah
Apr 29, 2019 8:56 AM - VintagePC: I mean... You know shit is real when you piss off Canada like facebook has....
Apr 29, 2019 10:21 AM - Statboy: Phhttt whats canada gonna do write a strongly worded letter, followed by an apology letter?
Apr 29, 2019 10:24 AM - theLumberJack: We'll gossip furiously until we know their mothers have heard about it
Apr 29, 2019 10:37 AM - Reechard: I didn't say "meh" because I thought it was acceptable lol
Apr 29, 2019 10:59 AM - Statboy: LJ that's just cruel
Apr 29, 2019 5:14 PM - VintagePC: reminder: we need to search the yeti room still
Apr 29, 2019 5:37 PM - theLumberJack: We have yeti to do that
