I can't tell if your last statement is complete hyperbole or honest conviction. The portion I take exception to is that everyone is full of shit because we're all too lazy to learn and become "well rounded" (pardon my paraphrasing). I know scores of intelligent, well-educated, self-motivated learners. Smart people own…

Maybe it's not advice, but i think some of Esther's choices may fall into the same realm. When I'm in bad need of perspective I tend to think about things that are vastly different from me in size (e.g. the cosmos, sub-atomic particles). It makes me feel like nothing is really on the scale to which I've built it up.…

Maybe I'm missing the saracasm. If so, forgive me. "Functional MRI" is a specific type of magnetic resonance imaging process. If you were just being funny, ignore me.

Well, I got it and chuckled. Light trolling applauded.

After maxing both enchanting and blacksmithing (~lvl 40), I was pretty bummed with how broken the game became. The right combination of armor/weapon enchantments and the dual wielding perks effectively ruined gameplay. One power attack should not kill a dragon. I was surprised Bethesda let the system go in the game…

Anyone know where that image is from? Though it may not be Arkham-esque, I do like it.

She is sworn to carry your burdens...

I switched to Chrome because of the above problem, and it's been working like a charm. I'm all for supporting FF and mozilla, but I noticed the issues after their latest release and want to give them some time to iron it out without me losing my mind.

I really miss my horse from Red Dead. When will there be a high fantasy mounted combat game? I like my Skyrim steed, but it's just not the same.

Been using MSE for a couple of years and would recommend it. I'm still kinda shocked they put something out for free that's so useful.

I have never heard the term "walking vector" before. What does it mean? Sorry, I tried to find it on the interwebs, but they failed me.

I'm not sure "witch" would've been caught by spell check since it's also a word in the English language. Witch is probably how this bug made it into the game, as well.

Totally ticky tack correction on my part but, I think Dame Judi is M.

Corsets... total head slap moment. I didn't even think of that, thanks for the responses all.

On a related note:

Also, sorry, forgot to mention, this guy isn't a "hard scientist." Though academic dishonesty occurs in all fields, I'm sure. In fact, I'm pretty sure that there are charlatans in all areas of human endeavor (though I can't site any sources for that).

"...other worshippers of so-called 'hard science.'"

Weird, I had just started hunting for a place to find Vampire the Masquerade, it must be the season :)

I would think tentacled eldritch horrors would make Kang and Kodos jealous. Though I suppose there might be some humor in that in and of itself.

Hmm... I suppose. I guess I should really just be appreciative that it's such a cool chunk of space geography to begin with.
