Thanks! I don't know who or what I'd be without that part of my life.

Same for mine. I've officially told them that they're done with those screamo-idiots who treat every video-game interaction as a monumental surprise.

Me: "There are MANY gunfire and gun-foley sound libraries available..."
Him: "Nah, they're too quiet"
Me: "...."

I left shortly after, once it was clear to me that this company, who was operating on a profit-share model, wasn't going to be putting out a product whatsoever.

His response was generally "I don't accept that, and we'll be able to make it loud, I believe you can", and I had to start explaining how digital audio actually works. Frustrated, he quickly changed topics, and starting talking about how I had to record gunfire at a range on my dime. Yeah, no.

I wish Alfira could be romance-able. :(

My party (real people who I play with) stood aside as I raised Ketheric up as two zombies, and then laid waste to both of them. At the end, his body was no more than a pile of viscera where he fought.

Now I'm in BG proper and just messing around, my goal is complete.

Because I sworn at that moment that not only was I going to kill that motherfucker Thorm, but then I was going to res him just to kill him again.

And I did just that. I wasn't the one dealing the most damage but I did deal the final blow. 3/?

Then, in act 2, when Ketheric Thorm sends his army to that town protected by magic (I'm horrible with names), Alfira was killed. I played a song at her body as a final goodbye.

Then I switched classes to a necromancer. Why a necromancer? 2/?

So, I was a bard, in love with Alfira from the moment we first spoke. I easily helped her with her song. I'd visit her every damn time I was in the grove. Didn't matter that she kept saying the same thing. I didn't care. Bard heart eyes, all day... 1/?

"The Jaunt" by Stephen King is another story about something "politely evil". If you go through this teleporter awake, while your body spends nanoseconds (if that) moving between gates, your conscious mind gets trapped in a white void for millions of perceived years. That's terrifying.

I found it extremely creepy, but I'm also partial to impossible geometry, and when things are just... It's hard to articulate, but.... "politely evil". I mean, to me, a big bloody, scary demon is whatever. But a house that has a strange dimension inside it somehow? Sinister.

Man, fox news being out of touch? I'm shocked. Totally and completely. I guess.
