    We had to put our dog down last night. In the past week she just went on a sudden down-swing, stopped eating her food, would only eat eggs or rice, and then stopped eating at all. She started throwing up... But she made it through Christmas. We put her in a wagon and pushed her out front of us on our walk, and she stood up straight and tall looking at out everything, just like on all the car and boat rides she loved so much. Then in the following days she just shut down, she could hardly stand and started having seizures, just seemed out of it. We didn't want her to suffer any longer; the vet said it was probably cancer and renal failure. She's alright now.

    :(

    I'm sorry. I know the feeling, and it sucks. I'm glad she made it through one more Christmas for a few more happy memories.


  2. never did get that clear of Eden's Verse: Refulgence (Savage) before 5.4 came out

    sure did put a lot of fucking hours in party finder trying, though. I think I could clear if I had 7 other people who also knew the whole fight and weren't bad but that's a tall ask in party finder

    i've never played WoW before but i defy anyone to show me any WoW content ever made that's as unforgivingly difficult as that shit


  3. I was feeling nostalgic so I went back and read through a bunch of pages of the ol' "subspufers judging subspufers" thread. Man, the drama is so funny to me now. I don't even know why I ended up with access to that subforum to begin with because I can't imagine that I was remotely tolerable back then.

    there are tears rolling down my cheeks in laughter


  4. I haven't spoken directly to anybody from the old SPUF days in years at this point. People just grow apart, I guess. Still, I like to come back here every now and then just because I do have fond memories, both of this place/SPUF and of the sorta merged MLM community with it. I remember being on that MLM Mumble server playing Dota or whatever for hours. I couldn't understand back then, but some people hated me. Obviously now I'm old enough to understand it's because I was just an immature kid, and adults often don't really want to hang out with kids, for one reason or another.

     

    I wonder how Shifty is doing these days. She was always really nice to me despite everything. I don't think I'll ever forget her.

    The one memory that sticks out about her is one time she said she was going out for a "fag break". Not being a Brit, I didn't realize "fag" was slang for "cigarette". I did however know she was a lesbian, so I took that to mean... You get the idea.

    hope you guys are doing well.  it's oddly reassuring to come back here and see it still chugging, albeit pretty slow these days.

    Second time ever for me, first time was Ephara, back during Theros block.  But I liked most of the gods besides Pharika so she doesn't count much.

  7. Holy shit, I just realized something. Spoilers for PMMM: Rebellion:

    Spoiler

    The reason Homura's suicide gambit works on Mami is because Mami never learned that magical girls' life essence is housed in their soul gems, not their brains, so Homura knows that shooting herself in the head won't kill her, but Mami doesn't.

    It literally took me four years of not understanding that scene. I think I'm rarted.

    For a year I had my school have a misspelling of my name in their database.  Literally every form I had to fill out came back with my spelling "corrected."

     

    It wasn't even the usual misspelling that everyone tends to make.

    that's when you get 'em with the ol' Bobby Tables trick

    There was a forum that I used to frequent that specifically cultivated political flamewars, all for clicks.  A former mod actually leaked internal policies on a different site. The highest rank of mods were required to have at least three accounts (the "official" account, and two accounts that would take opposing sides in arguments).  Whenever a discussion settled down it was the duty of a mod to say something inflammatory to get lots of responses.  When someone actually made good points and got people to agree with each other, that poster would be banned.  (Just to be cheeky, the two most common reasons for bans were "possession of alt accounts" and "trying to incite a flamewar").

     

    Apparently the model worked well enough for them to stay in business, because they got a lot of advertising revenue.

    truly radical centrism
