Re: Shooting the Breeze

Yay, Meiou!

Just double-checking before I post Chestnut; is Meiou purposefully not answering Chestnut's questions?

OOC: Fun fact that I learned from a survivalist! Rabbit is OK temporarily, but horrible for trying to live off of. They are so lean you will eventually die of poison for the lack of fat in your diet.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_poisoning

"Symptoms include diarrhea, headache, fatigue, low blood pressure, slow heart rate, and a vague discomfort and hunger (very similar to a food craving) that can be satisfied only by the consumption of fat."

And then... death.  A rabbit's revenge!

Re: Shooting the Breeze

David Foxfire:
What she didn't say is Broth's comments on Meiou.  'A mouse?  Really?  That's a good way for me not to like you, dwarf!'  (This was mental, so only Meiou heard it.)


....duuuurrrrrp! XD Sorry. For some reason, I occasionally imagine Johnny in place of Meiou. I usually correct myself and erase "mouse" and put "rabbit", but this time, I didn't.

However, just like Meiou was cool enough to just run with having mistook my NPC as your dwarf, I'm going to go ahead and run with my mistake. XD

And yes. I am going with "oh gosh he's annoying" stereotype dwarf because you guys are not really supposed to be endeared to him anyway. XD He's just some guy, you know? At best, he'll prepare you for the cave.

And yes, Tark... *I* know you're a half-orc. But the dwarf, like you suspect, doesn't care and would call you orc anyway, even if the distinction was shown to him.

Oh, and don't hold this against all my dwarf npcs. :) MOST of my dwarf npcs are actually tolerable/sane/etc. XD

Re: Shooting the Breeze

just realize hes going to end up naked in the middle of nowhere once our little side quest for him is done XP

Something to know since I dont think anyone asks or notices but Meiou is usually just in traveling clothes and carrying his backpack. He doesn't actually equip himself with anything unless its needed. Less noise and all that stuff plus his bracelet allows him to insta equip.

Re: Shooting the Breeze

If stripping him of all his stuff is what would satisfy you for his being a jerk, then by all means. I won't care / mind.

And concerning Meiou; I kinda just always imagined what was in the drawings of Meiou, but know how you feel. Chestnut tends to just where what you see in pics of him; brown boots, red bottoms, blue sleeveless top, and a red scarf. I just never got around to designing what his armor would look like, so I just flavor his armor as him being extra dodgy. XD

Then again, all my characters tend to appear as they are drawn. Still, I would be interested to see drawings of all of Meiou's outfits; from armors to sentient costumes.

Re: Shooting the Breeze

its more to just prove him wrong that meiou's dangerous and could easily get away with the dwarf's equipment. XD

Yeah pretty much that's what he wears normally . Hmmm may have to get someone to do that. Would need a good ref on what Sarah looks like in this setting to work with.

Re: Shooting the Breeze

Don't feel bad, Tim.  I tend to get adventures mixed up myself, especially when I type faster than I think, which is more common than I'd admit.

Things got a bit slow this week thus far because the Dentist found a small cavity in Tuesday's checkup, (where my teeth got mangled worse than usual, judging from all the blood) not only was it unexpected where it had to be taken care of before it got any worse, but I also had to figure out a spending plan for the filling.

Murphy be [BEEEP] but I'll be [BEEEP] if I'm going to let this get in the way of my birthday, where I make my first built computer.  I've been planning a $350 build that allows me to make a stable stream and has room for upgrades, and I'm going to get it come hell or high water.

(Why do I see Murphy going "Challenge Accepted, [BEEEEEEEEEP]")

If I come on as more cranky than usual, please understand.  It is my birthday, after all.  I'm always cranky on my birthday.

Sorry about your cavity. Hope that goes well!

Edit: Sent you an email. Hope it cheers you up!

Re: Shooting the Breeze

I wish you a less disagreeable than normal birthday, then.  :p

for your computer, i recommend http://pcpartpicker.com/  Worked out exceedingly well for me, and i got a high-end gaming graphics card for the price of a low-end one due to a sale they found.  https://www.cpubenchmark.net/ is a good one for figuring out price to horsepower ratio.  but if there's one thing i would strongly urge anyone to splurge on, it's to get a solid state drive for their operating system.  if you're like me and value your free time in dollars, putting the OS on a solid state drive will improve performance enough to easily pay for itself in time savings within a week or two.  (If free time is worth $10 an hour, 4 hours of computer time a day comes to about $14,400 worth in a year.  A measly 1% improvement in performance would come to $144 worth of time saved, but I'd rank SS drive performance improvement closer to 100%)

Re: Shooting the Breeze

Thank you very much for the picture, Tim.  It really helped cheer me up.  Not every day you find a baby that will snuggle you up to her.

Also, I know of a place called Micro Center that is an excellent computer store, with a Build Your Own department that people will take bullets for.  I've already thought up an excellent one that I can build for about $350, which I can later expand and upgrade with better stuff.

Microcenter tech support/build your computer (or at least, put things in generic computers you bought from them) is something I try to avoid these days due to years of sitcom grade WTF way back.

Like when replacing a burnt out CD drive to discover someone had hot glue gunned it's connector into place.
Waiting an extra two hours to even get started because someone just put my computer down on the floor behind the counter and went home without telling anybody I existed.
Immediately not turning on the day after I bought a fresh one and then discovering it's because they installed the video card with the loose wires laying on top of a CPU fan or whichever part (and their solution being to chop it off). Bonus as that computer was gotten around my own birthday at the time.

But then, maybe it was only that store in particular.

My freakin mail order computer I'm currently using turned out to go more smoothly better than micro center did -.- but that's also much harder to have any form or realistic "bring it back in" warranty on.

Re: Shooting the Breeze

In the Æthercoil world, there are nine elder dragons, one for each of the normal Divine Spheres, and Bahamut in an All-Father type role.  These Dragons have formed "The Council of the Eight," pooling their resources in several common goals, including making sure that this world recovers from the catastrophes that caused the previous civilization's downfall. Darcy doesn't worship any of these but follows along with their common teachings for her divine abilities.

As for Micro Center, I'm only going there for the parts, not the service.  I have plenty of videos and walkthroughs on building the computer myself.  That way, if I screw up, it's my fault.

Re: Shooting the Breeze

It's just the store you went to. My oldest bro Jesse, whose job was computers and computer programming for a while, as well as two tech-savvy friends all swear by Micro-Center. And I thiiiiink Seth does too? I may be remembering that wrong.

But yes. Bad service, in the case of Micro Center, is a store-by-store basis. Then again, you do kind of live in an area where people give you glares for daring to suggest they are stealing a shopping kart that they are holding onto and has your store name on it. XD

Thanks for the info, Dave. I miss being able to look up the In Character info for your characters, like when you had been keeping track of the two teams with Tam and Johnny.
