Downsides this week: Well, I've been a lazy ass mofo all week, all break, really (Today is the first day I'm really back at work since Dec. 23rd). First day back at work, and I forgot…
Now that we have our flight and the convention schedule all worked out, it looks like if anyone wants to meet up with me specifically, the best time will be Friday morning, because I'm free practically the whole morning and could potentially leave t…
Tonight, I rage over sudden anxiety keeping me awake. I get anxious about things I am powerless to change, or at least damn near irrelevant toward solutions. So frustrating.
Downsides this week: I dunno if I want to say this is a DOWNSIDE, but Christmas eve was all sorts of my cheat day. I ate everything I wanted and didn't feel a damn bit guilty. It was awesome. For Chr…

Because as humans and players, you value something finite and/or consequential. Especially as endgamers (as several people have pointed out) death is merely an annoying inconvenience of -waiting- and a nominal XP fee.
I agree that making death take longer the more often you died would suck unicorns, but to have negative mechanical effects after dying that get worse each time you die is a totally different notion.
Of your ideas, @alissandra, I like the death sickness idea the best. While I don't do any PK, I feel like the idea that others would actually have consequences i…
I suppose you have a point there, but in my head I am imagining three options upon death, "Wander" "Revive" "Do nothing and decide" So that the player is actively choosing to be mechanically stripped of stuff. But, to me it seems more "real" to hav…
@nola's idea there sounds like an EXCELLENT compromise to a lack of permadeath. Just a simple "Is wandering the Halls of the Underking" or something of that sort in th…
2ish years ago I was, while not watching what I was eating, working out a lot and I was in amazing-for-me shape, and around 170. I tried to keep up with it, but damn if "life" didn't get me unmotivated and I just…
HOWEVER! I have at least a quarter of a chance to notice what is happening with the new combat messages, because they're short, sucint and BAM IN MY FACE unlike the old ones... no way in hell was …
I am a bit miffed at the turn of unsolicited advise getting thrown at the syssin. I understand that the point is to be helpful, and helpfulness is appreciated in general.
THAT SAID. The way they are being disseminated here implies many th…
*nod* I agree @aldric Basically, I have alloted myself one "event" each month to "not be that guy" during (Thanksgiving, ChristmasORNewYears, Brother's Birthday, My …
So, I have officially begun the "Low Carb, High Fat lifestyle" (also called the Scandinavian diet, the Swedish diet, the ketosis diet). I refuse to go with "diet", because despite my knowing I need to stick with whatever forever, somewhere in my hea…
I had misplaced my glasses and hadn't been able to find them for about two weeks. This morning, I finally spotted them next to my car tire. I park in gravel. It has been wind-storm/freezing/etc. plus I have been running over them with my car probabl…
Thanks @mariena! I honestly had completely not even considered videos like this. They're an excellent idea, especially now with the unfriendly winter weather and la…
I have also been in the "stuck" range at 182. This is totally my fault for being a lazy bum lately, plus Freakin'-Cold-and-Dark November discouraging any kinda of evening exercise... Excuses excuses.
