    So, it's official.

    I signed the lease on my new apartment today.

    And I am now a poor (in spending money) for the next couple of weeks while I wait for payments to come in from other sources.

    But it was so worth it. And I don't need to pay rent again until March.

    I would go back and do a manshep renegade run, but I think I would just end up too disgusted with the character.

    I loved Renegade in ME2. Just a real "fuck you Imma get this shit done" feeling that you could still cheer for. I feel that the renegade choices in ME3 were just too hard to stomach in some cases.

    The only think I really felt bad about doing renegade in ME2 was
    roughing up that kid on the Citadel. That was just kind of an asshole thing to do!

    If you do no other renegade interrupt, shoot the gas pipe.

    My favorite renegade interrupt in ME2 involved a tall building...

    I love when Renegade Shepard asks Joker "Why do we even need you? We have a ship AI. We should stuff you in the airlock." Also, "Get to the escape pod! I'll drag Joker's crippled ass out of here!"

    Should I take the tomatoes out of the fridge

    If they are ripe, it doesn't matter. If they are not ripe, the refrigerator will halt the ripening process and they'll taste bad. Ultimately, there's just no real need to keep them in the fridge.

    A lot of cycling types get all funny about frames made with good quality steel.

    It's particularly a thing in the UK, where, with our love of eccentricity, you will often see people on very expensive steel hardtail (i.e. no rear suspension) mountain bikes when the rest of the world has gone exclusively full suspension at the high end.

    Riding them singlespeed is also a thing. Your beardy British purist will ride a rigid steel single speed like this:

    Heh.

    Actually I think I'm going to give them a room with a nature theme, split into quadrants, and they can manipulate the seasons in each one. get the seasons in the right order+move the right objects around you can get a stream flowing to push a water wheel.

    I once played a one shot superhero game where everything got so fucked up that at the end the DM was like "wait you know, no. Fuck it. You guys were the villains. It was you the whole time. And this guy was actually the hero, who you literally murdered."

    We accidentally committed genocide, for an example of how bad we were. In our defense we didn't speak the local language and thought they were gonna kill us.

    Yeah it was... something. We misinterpreted something as aggressive and the captain had the space ship rain down like, lasers while we tried to run, only the rolls all were weird and it ended up basically annihilating an entire tribe. Who we later learned were trying to give us a feast.

    That whole game was basically repeated misunderstandings resulting in us being the Worst People in the World.
