Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

list, damn you
sell me places of occupancy!

when you said that fiction was more efficient than non fiction, implying that a fiction author was more disconnected from a truth than a non fiction one.
Yo momma so dirty, I called her for phone sex and got an ear infection.
BURNIZZLE
Oh, okay.
Flippy, uh....your mom....is....not a pretty lady.
Wait, give me a minute here...
*ahem*
Next time I'm rollin' off ur mom, I'll ask her what to say!
Inqui's momma's name is Burnizzle?
My mother is a saint!
Disconnected? No. Simply that a fiction author needs to spend space establishing character and describing scenes and communicating elements of plot and action; consequently some of that space is not used to flesh out the ideas being discussed.
You can't limit pudding, man! It's bigger than all of us. VIVA LA TAPIOCA.
They do? I don't think that's true at all. A non fiction writer that focuses on that stuff less will produce inferior work.
Saint of sexually transmitted ear infections, apparently. Is that really something you want to be proud of?
Anyway.
Passerbye, the idea is, even if someone is making it personal, don't take anything personal. D&D regulars are a pretty abrasive bunch so mocking people is pretty much our way of bonding.
In other news, why is today so goddamn long?
But couldn't these characters and scenes and plot and action all flesh out the ideas being discussed in their own unique way?
I thought you had that taken care of, already?
Okay, now I'm really confused.
A non-fiction writer that focuses on plot and characterization less? A non-fiction writer doesn't necessarily need to focus on plot or characterization at all. Are we talking about the same things?
Ah. But see, that's equivocating.
If I'm talking to a religious person and I say "Faith is important to me, too" and I start talking about putting biases aside and believing in the goodness of people, I've just ceased talking about the very thing under discussion.
I am now not talking about their "Faith" in God. I'm talking about a looser, broader faith that is not "Belief in spite of logic or evidence."
I'm being disingenuous.
Hey, at least she's the saint of something.
Your mother is just a tawdry ho-bag that turns tricks behind the olive garden. Your mother aspires to be my mother.
Maybe you're abrasive, but everybody loves the Zimmy.
Dillweed.
If you say so. Maybe I should have Dyrwen explain my sense of humor to you guys so you can understand that my primary concern is making people uncomfortable and using sarcastic not-quite-non-sequitors.
But that wouldn't be funny, so I'll skip that step.
In other news today is long because it's Wednesday, obviously.
Yes, but not every single sentence in a work of fiction is going to flesh out the ideas - no matter how dense, how well-developed a work of fiction, there is still going to be some text that gets you merely from plot point A to plot point B.
Yeah I didn't do it much either at first.
But then I had my first drunken chat post. And ever since then I "turn on" my SE++ mode and
stop talking in complete sentences and stop using punctiation
because it's fun
and loose
and weeeeeee
also dicks
How'd you know?!
Then why do you keep paying for my whores, yo?
Dude, I killed you for pie. I don't think love is possible after something like that.
Craigslist is a wonderful tool.
I'm not sure. For N = 3, you can only have one pair at a time anyways:
So:
1-2
1-3
2-3
Is 3 steps. So N-1 + ceiling N/2 = 2 + 2 = 4. But, in this case N-1 + floor N/2 would work. Unless 3 is just a special case. 5 gets complicated and I don't feel like working it out.
yes. what the fuck is wrong with you
Of the White Stripes?
Yeah, I think she's hot, too.
No.
1) I don't consider SE++ to be funny most of the time.
2) I like grammar and punctuation. I would be naked without them. Do you really want to see that?
what the fuck is wrong with you, too!
I think you're asking the wrong crowd.
Shit, I told her that was a bad idea but the bitch never listens.
