Cool. So Im getting a colonoscopy on Weds.
I have to take a half day. I just found out that I have to eat bullshit tommorrow and Weds and take poop pills AND that I will have to pay ~$300 for the procedure. Hanging out with my doctor friend on Saturday I expressed concern that the procedure requires an anesthesiologist, but he assured me that they'll just give me an Attavan (sp?) IV to relax me. As a bonus, the drug usually causes retrograde amnesia.
So in conclusion:
I am leaving work early on wednesday to pay some dudes to roofie me and stick things in my asshole.
Awesome.
you're not taking off the day before?
bro
you need to take off the day before
the stuff they give you to poop makes you poop like you have no idea
I have stuff I cant reschedule tomorrow.
I figure I'll do the prep as soon as I get home, shit my brains out, and starve the next day.
wow, I dunno if I admire your bravery or want you to carry a GoPro so we can all just laugh at your pain. You have set yourself up for what is a memorable and distinctly unpleasant experience to become a very memorable and possibly amazingly horrible experience.
Good luck!
So. OK. My appointment weds is at 3PM. If I start at 6PM tomorrow, shouldn't I be fine?
My doctor wanted things started 24 hours in advance when I had one done a few months ago. They should have given you detailed instructions...

You need a solid 24 hours of prep, or as close to it as you can get. They try to schedule how the medicine hits within a pretty small margin of error...and I promise you do not want to have to go through this a second time because they aren't happy with how your colon looks when you come in.
I can't call a game good if a prerequisite of learning to play it is "wait for someone to come online and we will show you"
Why not?
I feel that if a game cannot provide a tutorial that at least allows you to play itself, it is not good
What about a comprehensive manual? Baldur's Gate is a good game with a half-inch thick manual and no in-game tutorial.
Also it was sold separately.

I challenge anyone to properly use the Dual Class (not multi class) options for any of the 2nd ed D&D games using only the information in their provided manuals.
You. will. fuck. it. up.
To be fair, a lot of people fucked it up with access to the complete line of 2nd Ed books. It's one of the more head scratchingly wonky things about D&D and that's saying something.
Complete guide to Elves is one of my favorite "worst things" TSR ever published.
So very borken, and written as basically a powergamer's love letter to elves.
the whole 2.5 edition "Skills and Powers" or whatever it was called (which, until 5th ed, were the most expensive D&D core books after adjusting for inflation) take that design philosophy and apply it to everything. I strongly suspect by that point the TSR staff were spending a lot of time getting high with kevin siembieda.

maaaaaaan
if someone rolled a dart specialist back then you just start rigidly enforcing encumbrance rules
Do not pursue this Lu Bu
because encumbrance rules become less important when your leadership-fueled followers (all dart specialists) just carry things for you.
Dart Specialism + followers was the nuclear option of 2nd edition.

i am on hiatus from buying any new games for the year, i think
i currently have not run/played
shadowrun
fate
kingdom
sorcerer
dungeon world
apocalypse world
I have Shadowrun
Fate (In the sense I have 5 or so different games based off of it)
Night's Black Agents
Feng Shui
Call of Cathullu
Mutant City Blues
Dogs in the Vinyard
One Last Job
And like seven more I'm blanking on. And that's all ones gotten this year. But I think I'll be doing One Last Job this week.
I couldn't find anyone to play with online on my friend list, plus I'm still pretty new to the game and didn't want to bore someone with my shitty play until I had a grasp on all the concepts.
You're still probably right though.
The AI is actively bad and will teach you very bad habits.
Like don't make a hyperbunker. You want a nice simple 4 man cage to keep your ball carrier safe.
I played something like ~40 hours in an AI league and learned virtually nothing about the game, except that lucky dodging goblins are basically all you need to beat mediocre plays.
I made a game! Hotline Maui. Requires mouse and keyboard.

Like if pacific rim had just stopped just before the climax of the movie and then just showed a repeating slideshow of a few still images with a voiceover narration that even a stoned teenager would consider to be total wank then you could say Pacific Rim was a crap evangelion.

My first DM was super annoyed that I rolled a psionic character until I told him I had no intention of mucking around with the psionic attack/defense stuff and said how about we just treat psionics and magic as interchangeable when it comes to stuff like resistances/immunities/wards/etc
Took a little more tweaking than that but overall it worked out fine.
But then I had the privilege of having a pretty awesome group where no one was actively trying to fuck anyone over.

A few hours, maybe 6 or so. Think about the last time you had the flu, where you could not get far from the toilet because what was coming out wasn't solid enough to stop at your sphincter.
That is what they are aiming for. You poop until it's clear liquid coming out.
@Donkey Kong as a total aside, I never let doctors give me "amnesiacs" ever...the idea scares the shit out of me. I want to know what happens to my body if I have to be awake for it, otherwise, just knock my ass out!

I am also going to go to a local place with free wifi and fancy toilets for brunch.

I think that sentence is backwards
My doctor wanted things started 24 hours in advance when I had one done a few months ago. They should have given you detailed instructions...

the first 25 mins are a bit slow (though the first fight is cool and the robot on the beach gives a really neat sense of scale)
after that it is great
Good to know. I'll power through
