yeah this stuff is very scary

it also makes me wonder if some malfunction with this is why all my printouts recently seem to have a little bit of yellow smudged right on the margins, hmm.

Mike is short for Motorbike

Which mutation are you hoping for, super powers or cat ears?

I relate so hard to this <3

sending you all the good vibes that I can muster toasthaste, you're great!

I highly suggest throwing out or ignoring like 50% of the rulebook, I especially hate the cake and eat it of "there's racism against orks and trolls but it's all just incorrect racists!" at the same time as orks and trolls just being cosmically less charismatic & intelligent but the core system is pretty great and I love the rest of shadowrun.

great, i'm sure you'll fit right in, follow me up to the office and they'll finish your release

is

yours

no one's allowed to leave the house because backstreet's back alright

the dogmantra cut is identical to everything else but superheroes are referred to as superb heroes

allow me to express my sympathy by sending you a pair of powerful pigeons

hi toasthaste!!

but I'm a centrist, the truth must be in the middle of whatever people tell me

my theory is that the moon is somewhere between the size of a car and a van

yeah it happens from time to time, I've even had it once while logged out

don't worry though, you can actually view the entire banlist and moderation log for all the lilbrds (are we still calling them that?) and there's been like... two bans ever across the entire site?

crikey, yeah I'd probably sell out for $900k

for many many years it was a website that took you to a plain purple page, it was quite a favourite of tech support types for checking web connections because purple is very hard to mishear over the phone, it loaded quickly, and it was obvious when you connected.

if you were quick, there was an FAQ link that disappeared after a second or two and the guy that ran the site was funny, I don't remember exactly but I'm fairly sure the answer to "can I advertise on purple.com?" was that yes you could but it cost an outrageous amount of money, and that there was a game on the site where a purple squirrel would run onto the screen and you had to click them. There was no reward or score counter but the squirrel would know. There was even a changelog from when they changed the shade of purple after receiving feedback that it wasn't purple enough.

They never said why they maintained the site so long, but speculation I've seen is that they liked having an @purple.com email, and perhaps as a file server. It was a piece of web history and I'm genuinely really sad it's gone.

even purple.com has died and become bad now

fucking ace, loved it, thanks!

it's ok I woke up at 4pm

I appreciate jstpst and all the lovely people here!!!!!!

I didn't know you ghostwrote for the mountain goats

fantastic read, thank you for sharing!

I'm really interested in the physical nature of stuff, really overlaps with toy and merchandise design.

it wasn't too bad for the first 4 or 5 months, I was still getting my grant for teacher training, but since then I've been slowly leeching off my savings :(

but yeah I'd love a break that I chose!
