It's easy enough in meetings to find alternate uses of the time while other people are talking. I, for example, like to pen erotic fiction in the margins of my legal pad.

Y'know, it *might* just be that I wasn't being entirely serious when I wrote this. But your results may vary.

What makes for a *good* humblebrag?

*Shhh* Just be cool: I'm trying to make frat boys experience existential crises. I'll file an apology for woman-commodification later.

Hey, guys who suffered indignities joining frats.

I suppose. Frankly any- and everyone who runs a conference or training these days seems to love small groups crap. It's a great way to hold an event without having to actually provide any content yourself (especially if you involve the execrable "report back after 20 minutes" exercise).

*...and having people participate in small groups that offer support and education.*

Okay, watched the video now.

I think I'm only interested in future JRPGs if:

You can land on planets and space stations. There isn't a lot of exploring there (mostly each planet's interaction space consists of a bar and a mission board). Most of the action is spaceside.

1.) There is an atmosphere on Mars, so there would be no explosive decompression.

ABRA-KAZAAM!!! Your wish is granted.

Skip to 8:27. NSFW, btw.

I just now discovered Paste Magazine (yes, they supposedly still exist online)'s piece about the last hours of Star Wars: Galaxies.

Forsooth.

Gentle now, don't hurt your bad self.

WHAT?! Who told you?! I deny everything!! I . . . oh. You were speaking abstractly. Yes. Of course.

Gracias.

What did crazy people in Europe or the Americas do before cats were introduced from Persia?

You have weird and/or unrealistic standards.
