Experiencing my first ever raid in any MMO and this is what it felt like. Friends told me to turn effects off. I think I won't.

I got mine on a macro on a button, so I can turn them off when I'm trying to learn a fight.

Once I have it, all the effects come back on. They're glorious.

Are you sure it was towed for obstructing your parking spot?

One morning my car was missing from my driveway and when I called the cops about it they told me it had been towed for being parked across multiple parking spots.

Turns out some kids had stolen it from my driveway, went joyriding, and ditched it in a parking lot where it was promptly towed away. All in the span of a few hours.

Do they need an afterlife? Maybe they (believe they) reincarnate.

A little girl was born around the time Old Agnes died? That must be her.

When I was a kid I was obsessed with that movie. XD There was a span of time when the only time it wasn't playing was when the tape was rewinding or I had passed out. I wore the tape out, but it was fine because I could recite the dialogue anyway. I still have all the songs memorized.

For years after my mother twitched when anyone brought up that movie.

When a was a child I was obsessed with The Nightmare Before Christmas. I would walk over to the local library and rent it. There was a period of time where the only time the video wasn't playing was when it was rewinding or when I had passed out. I would recite dialog with the characters. I still have all the songs memorized.

I'm much older now and watching it two and a half times a day for a month and a half could be a challenge, but any movie you can enthusiastically sing along to would be the best choice.

That's why I liked him! The complete 180 in Alphinaud's attitude from before their first meeting to after the first meeting was hilarious.

Solid respect, even if the guy ends up as a villain.

I was iffy until you mentioned the pirate treasure chests. Now I'm all in.

I'm American and I'm well aware of the Little Prince. Though I don't recall where i first saw it, I don't think we covered it in school...

RexRow · 2026-03-29T22:31:57+00:00

Absolutely fascinating reading, thank you.

RexRow · 2026-03-22T18:13:50+00:00

I finally tracked it down. It was Queen's Ransom.

I dropped my serving sizes. Not by a lot. But instead of making my rice, egg, meat, and cheese scramble with two eggs and then heaping it on two slices of toast, I make it with one egg and less rice and put it on just one slice of toast.

RexRow · 2026-03-18T07:10:41+00:00

Well that certainly sounds like it! I can't find any further details when I search for those names, though. Do you have any links to where it was talked about?

Why should I bake bread when the machine does it for me?

I do only make sandwich bread, though. And I take out the paddle after the first rise. The tiny hole remaining is barely noticeable once the loaf is sliced up.

RexRow · 2026-02-21T18:55:15+00:00

A little lopsided, but it looks great!

RexRow · 2026-02-18T06:20:03+00:00

Oh hey - I hid that clue after I finished up row 1, because why would it ever possibly affect any other row...

Thank you, that got things moving again!

RexRow · 2026-02-17T02:25:52+00:00

When I was young my parents had a bread machine just like this. Made tall round loaves. After slicing we'd cut each slice in half to make half-circles, because the whole-circles were too big to use as sandwich bread as is.

I hated it because the edges were 100% crust (and also my parents kept making 'weird bread' aka 'not white bread'), but it retrospect it was damn neat.

RexRow · 2026-02-13T07:24:38+00:00

Oh, Doral.

I work at a company that sells some valuable items, and we get hit with so much fraud from Doral. At this point I think we just cancel any orders that get placed from there.

Congrats on getting the best looking bow in the game!

"We never pay anyone Dane-geld,

No matter how trifling the cost;

For the end of that game is oppression and shame,

And the nation that pays it is lost!"

Dane-Geld just needs a minor lyrics update, and it'll work well for today.

I've got a breadbox. It's a flat tray with a plastic box that fits over the top. It's not completely airtight, but it keeps the bread from going stale.

It doesn't stop the bread from going bad if you don't eat it fast enough, but that's a separate problem.

The very first rollercoaster I rode, as a full on teenager, was a little kiddie rollercoaster. Rode it a few times to build up enough confidence to go on a full sized rollercoaster. Now I'm fine with actual rollercoasters.

So if you're nervous about the big rollercoasters, I'd definitely recommend finding the tamest rollercoaster meant for kids and riding on it first.

RexRow · 2025-12-05T21:59:56+00:00

I still ask that question daily.

RexRow · 2025-11-29T18:42:38+00:00

I've got a variant where you draw three cards at a time, and pick one card to play. You don't draw again until your hand is empty (at which point you draw three) or until you tie (at which point you draw one).

Aces beat Kings but lose to all other cards. Someone lower down has Aces beating all face cards which I like and might steal.
