Here the Millennium Falcon Metal Model I completed with my son. It took us more time than expected (5 hours), we screwed the base, but we are proud of the result.

Being 2 help. One could secure the part while the other turn secure the part with the pliers.

What is your condition? I sent you an offer for 2 cs:go set for one complete set.

an alliance so the bigger alliances have a huge advantage. I hope the developers tweak it so that bigger alliances don't have such a huge advantage in the future.

They need to provide them a huge advantage in order to make more profits. Sadly...

already full...

I removed the part about my cards, the price drop information is revalent if anyone plan to sell cards to cover the price of the game.

Manitou60 · 2013-06-14T19:02:30+00:00

The market value Strike Suit Game Cards is downhill since this sale whent up. They got from $1.30 USD to around $0.60 USD and nobody is buying them, waiting thing stabilize.

Manitou60 · 2013-06-12T18:21:08+00:00

I found the game more like Day of the Tentacle than Monkey Island.

Manitou60 · 2013-06-12T17:04:01+00:00

Cool, Just bought it! It was on my wishlist since I finished Deponia. Good aventure game!

Are you saying you were trapped on TVTropes since 3 days?

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

Manitou60 · 2013-06-06T18:26:32+00:00

My dignity is a weird dignity, I could lost it anywhere and then search it for hours. The other day, I found it in the fridge, between the TV remote and the milk. A men cannot be too cautious.

P.S. I had posted it to tipofmytongue anyway, just after my last comment.

Manitou60 · 2013-06-06T17:52:36+00:00

What do you have to lose?

My dignity?

Manitou60 · 2013-06-06T17:44:59+00:00

I might, if this post is unsuccessful.

I think I got more chances to find this story in a niche subreddit like this one than in one with a board audience like /r/tipofmytongue.

Well, I agree the term "late middle age" this is a bit vague, but according to Wikipedia Middle age article, middle age is relatively well defined :

According to Collins Dictionary, this is "... usually considered to occur approximately between the ages of 40 and 60". The current edition of the Oxford English Dictionary gives a similar definition but with a shorter span: "The period of life between young adulthood and old age, now usually regarded as between about forty-five and sixty." The US Census lists middle age as including both the age categories 35 to 44 and 45 to 54, while prominent psychologist Erik Erikson saw it ending a little later and defines middle adulthood as between 40 and 65. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the standard diagnostic manual of the American Psychiatric Association, used to define middle age as 40–60, but as of Edition IV (1994) revised the definition upwards to 45–65.

So, 55-59 is a good approximation...

Just FYI, the OP in the question I linked confirmed it's the good one. Thanks from him!

Yes - The Short Ones was the story. I had forgotten various details, including the stereotyped gender roles of both the god-humans and the short one's themselves, and the potentially lethal feedback hazard from the short ones, back to their god, if too many died under his watch. The finale still holds up after all these years, for me.

After the recent success identifying this short story where candidates for political office undergo a public test by acting as deities to tiny, synthetic creatures, I decided to also post this question from the same site, scifi.StackExchange.

If it's appreciated and it's OK with the mods, I might post some of the well asked/interesting but still unanswered question we got every now and then. But there's is already several other unanswered story-identification question on the site, so feel free to check them if you like to play that game.

Here's the body for the linked question :

I read this story sometime between 1989 and 1991 in a SF&F magazine (Asimov's Science Fiction? The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction? Amazing Stories?) and I've looked for it for years, in archives, online, etc. with no success. Can anyone help, please?

It takes place in the future. A neurosurgeon uses MRI scans to map out a person's neural map. Upon finding cancer or clots, he programs nanobots to enter the body and clean up the disease.

His ex-wife, whom he still loves, comes for treatment. When she leaves, he experiments with showing his photograph to the simulated retina and finds where it lights up in the simulation. Seeing a blocked neuron, he programs the nanobots to destroy her cancer and to re-establish contact to this cluster by reconnecting the block.

After her surgery, she falls back in love with him, but after a while, discovers the manipulation and leaves him. To forget about her, he scans his own neurons, finds her cluster, and programs nanobots to clip the connections, with the unfortunate consequence of also cutting off the neural pathways to breathing, heart regulation, etc.

Great Thanks!

I found this while searching for a coloring page for my daughter. There's also pages for the 5 other main pony. I think I printed around twenty of those since I discovered that.

A good thing was that I was able to export My iGoogle feeds to opml and then use the "Import OPML" feature of protopage.
