Searching for morgan freeman "lookalike", however, nets me many pictures of Freeman, and a couple of a young David Bowie, Robert DeNiro, anda little kid dressed up as Johnny Depp in Edward Scissorhands.
I am not particularly discerning or learned about my browsers. I use Chrome for some stuff and Firefox for others mostly depending on the addons/extensions available to make each job easier.
...then I forget to check if new extensions are available for a year or two.
I am a little picky about browsers. I vastly preferred the original Opera browser, but then they shifted to a Chromium base without any of Opera's original features (and missing a few of Chromium's at first, like bookmarks). I... used Opera in part because I didn't like Chrome very much. So lately I've been using Pale Moon (a better-optimized version of Firefox) with enough extensions to make it behave somewhat like Opera used to.
But Pale Moon lately been moving focus to the URL bar over and over again when I try to type on certain sites, including Google, Amazon, and sometimes this chat.
I need to disable all my extensions briefly and make sure Flash is updated and all that. But for now, Opera's a functional backup. I just... really miss tab-stacking. A lot.
Very unlikely. It was unique to Opera. The others kinda sorta copied it in a less good way, and I think you still have to set an experimental flag to get it going in Chrome. I did finally find a Firefox extension that managed it, though.
You'd drag a tab on top of another tab to "stack" them. The arrow is so that you can pop them back out again to view them only when you want to.
It's a bit more rough, but this will do it in Firefox. No Chrome or Chrome!Opera similar extension exists yet, to my knowledge. The Firefox one is sort of recent.
Okay, I like this about my new PC: Because he can use Deceive instead of Rapport or Provoke when he's undercover, he's better at interacting with people when he's pretending to be someone else.
One of my favorite manga, but very... CLAMP. I do not know that I would steer someone into it blindly, or at least not before some of their other work.
@doppelgreener I didn't pay for Shaping in the Occultist mode. Instead, I like the idea of shapeshifting being a not-casual thing for Agent Diamond--but he CAN do it.
(He just has to set up a lot of free invokes beforehand if he's going to do much of anything useful.)
Heads up, we've got a newcomer who thinks Stack's a forum.
see, if i do get this thing, I will be glad to have this thing, but I will feel bad for spending a lot of money on this thing
if I don't get this thing, I will be happy for not having spent that money, but I will feel bad for not having this thing for a game I think I probably will love.
Fate-like things: 1. characters are described as "an adjective noun who verbs" each chosen from a list - adjective includes fast, strong, etc, plus some more unusual stuff; noun is one of the 3 classes (rough equivalent of fighter, wizard, rogue); verb covers a range of abilities from "wields two weapons" to "bears a fiery halo"
2. Experience points are awarded when the GM wants to add a complication. The affected player gets 2 XP, one of which he must assign to another player
(also for accomplishing goals & roleplaying)
XP can be used to boost a roll, or saved for character advancement
D&D-like things: Though the setting is far future, it does have fantasy-like elements. Technology is "indistinguishable from magic". Main classes, as I said, are basically fighter, rogue, wizard (by different names)
Exalted, I don't know anything about...
got to go now, but I can add more later if you like
A selectively mute boy with trouble connecting to others through speech; rather, he expresses himself best through art and dance. He struggled through systems that were not good for him until a kind doctor took him in and gave him a chance to really develop those skills. Doctor may be an NPC.
I wish I were more intimately familiar with some of his inspiration sources so I could help him brainstorm more, but Mytho from Princess Tutu numbers among them. (Grand anime, one I highly recommend. It's a delightfully meta fairy tale in magical girl's clothing. A story about telling stories.)
@Pixie Any particular variety? Mephits come in a wide range of tasty and satisfying flavours, available at your local elemental and semi-elemental planes today for the low, low price of Summon Monster IV.
@Pixie I'm pretty sure there's technically an infinite number of mephit types.
Since any combination of elements can have a mephit, and everything is a combination of elements, somewhere out there is a Dogshit Mephit just waiting for you.
@Adeptus That was helpful, and I found a good review. I think I'm gonna back this, just have to decide whether to go the extra way for the real shinies.
These days I'm using MST3K, because while you usually have no idea what's going on if you don't watch the screen... when you look back up it never matters what you missed.
That's how we played it in high school. A friend's family owned a Chinese restaurant that delivered to the school, so fortune cookies were a common sight. It's rather funny in some circumstances but completely boring in others.
Yeah, definitely not, but I can see that one having a little more mileage.
Ooooh, someone got marshmallow fluff. I can make the s'mores I wanted but kept forgetting to buy graham crackers for (the marshmallows had gone bad by the time I excitedly brought home the graham crackers).
I have entered into that strange post-mid-season-finale emotional state that is equal parts devastated at what just happened and incredibly excited to find out what happens next.
"but... if we have a budget of trillions, surely we can afford $100 for..." "No! Money's worth! Use what you've got!" "but the fuel for this costs thousands of --" "No more questions!"
"Paint these walls." "Yes friend computer." "You may find the paint in ultraviolet sector." "Uh... Yes friend computer." "Use the death star to do it." "Yes, friend computer." (quiet aside whispers: "What's a death star?")
...it is once again The Time Of Year When I Look For The Song Which Is Not.
A rendition of Good King Wenceslas with minimal instrumentation (preferably a single flute), and only two singers: a deep-voiced man who sings the King's lines and a tenor boy who sings the Page's lines. They sing the narrative stanzas according to which character is acting, singing together if it's unclear.
This one is very close: if it weren't for the choral, I'd be okay with the overheavy instrumentation.
I am not sure how Greensleeves got to be a Christmas song, but that reminds me, I do need to find one I enjoy fully. I love the song, but I find recorded versions are often lacking something.
Greensleeves has been for several hundred years, for reasons unclear to me. Even the original that doesn't include any Christmas or winter-related lyrics at all. But I can't complain. It is a brief respite from... other things.
Mmmm, this black bean sauce is going to be excellent.
Most black bean sauce calls for fermented beans, which I can't use. But this one is super simple and unfermented. I didn't have red pepper so I used a little chili powder, and I used lemon juice in place of the grated orange.
Then again, I just throw whatever spices I have on hand in with black beans and eat them as is. It's my go-to meal for the times that I'm unable to expend much effort on food. A good taste-to-effort ratio.
I instituted it because my mom was feeling cooped up in the house because my dad wasn't going outside much and if he's not going out, someone has to stay home.
So I figured out something he'd buy into, and putting a day of the week to it made it part of his schedule.
That is very thoughtful. Something like that can really make a big difference, too.
I rarely leave the house when I'm not working, and I've gotten hooked on going down to the local ice cream shop (or to the bookstore for the only coffee I actually enjoy) on my lunch break. I've never worked somewhere that I could walk to places before. It's delicious, but it's also a nice break.
@BESW I am about to be picked up for my dad's birthday dinner, but I will set an eye or two upon it briefly now and when I return (if i am in any state to do such a thing later)
yes, but he needs to make an animal sacrifice,... which won't lend to him cursing enemies too easily when he first meets them
seeking should be fine
and the blessing stuff for naming is too
the biggest problem is gonna be for him to find all that much useful info, both because he isn't where he would need to be to know all the right stuff, and because that kind of thing is kinda hard to set up in advance
thankfully, this is fate, so I can make you come up with stuff when you succeed
and when you fail, I am pretty sure I can work with that
and I have a couple ideas of what he might see if he gets a vision in a particular place
He's also designed--with Seeking, especially--to be able to control the narrative in that Fately "Hey, I made up found some plot!" kind of way.
There are a lot of stunts he can take to be able to use his skills different ways--mind control, dreamwalking, invisibility--and the only reason I haven't chosen them is that I want to pick them mid-session so they're relephant.

It gets so many questions because the current tags are messed up. Our tags are emergent, yes, with a bit of guidance from the community ... in the absolute wrong direction for usability
because level 8 feat is going to be medium armor mastery
Need the AC real bad lol
@Miniman some context I was the one who went out for the duel at the end of the seige. I failed to hit him, he then dragonbreathed me (I dodged but wax rolled really high damage) and then he attacked me knocking me out and then coup'd me on the ground
In D&D5e a player can choose to do his standard action while moving. So a character (who can normally move 30 feet) may move 10 feet, then attack, and then move again in any direction up to his total allowed distance (20 feet). Rules like Attack Of Opportunity still hold, so when the character wo...
like some dwarf says in Snow White and the Huntsman after hearing some fellow dwarf hum the work song from the Disney movie: "If he starts whistling, I'll smash his face in."
That indie bundle that was in the feeds looks really good. Breaking the Ice, DitV, Trollbabe, tSoY, Sorcerer, MLWM and Polaris in the same packet? If I weren't so stingy I'd be sold.
Also, I already got Polaris when it was for free on Leheman's site.
Unfortunately I'm not in the mood for anything silly.
I was postulating my seriousness might be a product of never having had a brother. You know, when you're alone all day and nobody ever pranks you you don't get the habit
One of my good friends is a fraternal twin with three non-twin brothers (two older and one younger). They're all quite as differently tempered as can be, and one of the most dramatic differences is between the two twins; one was always very serious and the other was always... very not.
(The only reason I say "one of the most dramatic differences" is that the youngest brother is so different from all the others that it's sometimes like he's from another family entirely.)
I'm in that weird mood where I'm ill and I told my friends not to come playing D&D but I'd like to play something but nothing really catches my will and two people suggested me to go to a therapist but I won't because I'm stingy and lazy. How this is a recurring mood is a mystery to me.
[patpat] Hot tea with lemon and honey is a good partial response to most illnesses, but I can't really help with the rest. I have a different brand of willful ennui.
I wish my doctor could just tell me "you have this incurable illness, there's nothing you can do, just live with your recurring swollen tonsil and lymph nodes and your dry yet running nose.
This summer I spent a couple hundred dollars copay on thousands of dollars of uncomfortable, nauseating tests. The result: "You have cysts in an organ on the right side of your body. What? The pain on the left side that you came in about? No clue. Try Tylenol."
what kind of stupidly painful or lethal illness do I need, before some doctor diagnoses me? I keep having the same symptoms every now and then, I refuse to believe it's just some flu.
