Okay, who hacked the security cameras at my job? :unsure: 🤬:rolleyes: That's basically me and Idiot Coworker Jim...All day, every day.

Even though I'd love to have the entire collection available, I am absolutely certain I would never get around to reading all of them just as matter of available time, nevermind whether or not I was still interested in it after rereading the original trilogy.

Fun AI Experiment: Ask it to honestly admit all the things it did wrong and did-but-wasn't-supposed-to since the last time you asked it a question... :p

Part of the warning is because they design most technological things in a particular orientation and thus they're sort of like swords - used correctly the sword will do its job easily, but try hitting something with the side of the sword and you could easily shatter it. Not being built for use...

I thought the tv show Penny Dreadful did an excellent interpretation of the monster - the monster is clearly lashing out at Frankenstein because he's almost too human, and feels things too deeply, and yet is also keenly aware of his own monstrosity and moral failings... Erikson is a hell of a...

Unrelated to anything on the boards... If more people listened to me, there'd be less people I have to listen to, <bleep>ing about how their poor life choices have screwed up their lives without ever realizing that it was their stupid and careless choices that led to them being in their...

I'm sure it wouldn't take much effort to find generic 1/24th scale printed parts - you can get stls or prints of just about anything... Including actual Car Wars-type cars in various scales.

Oh no - I was building and modifying 1/24th scale plastic car models from companies like Revell and Monogram, and mounting guns on them from models of helicopters, fighter planes, tanks and smaller-scale naval vessels... :cool: Of course, this was back in the day when those models were like $5...

I was introduced to it back in college in 1990 - one of my buddies had a metric-<expletive>-ton of the stuff... I sort of inherited his collection for a few years, and eventually picked up some stuff of my own. It was mostly 1st and 2nd Edition stuff - a lot of the box sets like Tanks, Boats...

I never looked into Gaslands since I was pretty sure I'd never get a chance to play it. Back in the day, though, I used to build Car Wars vehicles out of plastic models - I'd steal guns and stuff from military models and mount them on cars.

Ye gods, I loves me some Car Wars... :cool: I still tell people about the Existential Blue Crayon Gun.

Where the hell were they storing these documents that they needed to be decalcified? lol

I've been playing Potions: A Curious Tale from Stumbling Cat on Steam... It's disguised as a silly little young-adult magical-schoolgirl game, but it's actually a fairly entertaining oldschool-NES-style lite-rpg... I originally bought it just to support the independent creator (It's only $20)...

It wasn't bad, but it sure wasn't the first one, either.

Start a religion. Done right, eventually your Church organization can leverage the donations of your followers into becoming one of the most monolithic financial and political entities in the world. You would, of course, need to be able to "read the room", so to speak, of current and future...

Tarzan might be a bit of a tough sell in the current social climate - certain aspects of the character and the world he lives in will undoubtedly get tarred with the "problematic" brush, even if they completely change the tone of the setting...

Y'know, there are actually a couple things I'd like to see adapted from the work of Simon R. Green - you could do a hell of an animated series based on his Nightside books, and I think you could probably get at least two good seasons out of his fantasy-buddy-cop Hawk & Fisher series.

I'm guessing that Indy is probably the nearest shipping hub - everything gets sent to one regional hub before getting sent out to the different places that would deliver it to you or your local post office.

A recent ebay purchase being shipped to Connecticut from North Carolina decided to take a brief vacation to Puerto Rico before it arrived... :rolleyes: (The fact that they sent the wrong damn item was just pure bonus aggravation...)

Just acquired the second and third books and a short story collection in D.B. Jackson's Thieftaker series, so now I'm officially putting down the Jack Reacher novel I haven't been reading lately to reread the first Thieftaker book.
