Eastern dragons fly without wings at all and don't really fit my idea of a wyrm. I mean, they may look similar superficially, but the differences are significant enough that I can't imagine them being related. Something like this Reminds me of this guy; gets asked to give a talk about the taxonomy ...

Believe it or not, I knew the answer. I was just using recent election stats to demonstrate the point.

I don't understand the restraint on display by Hillary and the rest of the Democrats. This was not a fair election, the cost to the Democratic party of 4+ years of Trump is enormous, and the cost to the country and the world will be even larger.

So Trump called execs and anchors of network media together and screamed at them.

So it appears the backbiting and jockeying under Trump has begun, as his lackeys fight to be the most loyal. A few days ago, I told someone that the big sign if things are gonna be bad, is if there's a lot of competing for favor because they'll only do things through patronage. Welp. I was right. An...

Best thing I can figure to do right now is start documenting everything. Keep up with illnesses before and after food safety laws, if those do get rid of. Track the economy. Track hate crime rates. Make sure there's some measureable evidence of how bad shit has gotten, in case it comes handy later.

I didn't have too much trouble with the big guys, for some reason. Their moves chain in the same way, and it seems like if you dodge to your left you can get behind their shoulder and backstab. I also use a heavy weapon, so the shield-users, I could stagger, especially if I caught them after an atta...

Dark souls 3 DLC: Ashes of Money Set On Fire

I'm an inveterate souls fan by this point, so I got the season pass. Waited and waited for the DLC. When it was coming close, I even made sure to have some Titanite Slabs on hand in case I found any really interesting weapons. I wasn't disappointed there. Ashes of Ariandel has basically no bad weapo...

You want to come up with laws/axioms that the Inevitables enforce that make some sort of sense. Probably stuff like "Thou Shalt Not Seek To Break Causality" and "Thou Shalt Not Attempt To Reset the Universe Because You Think This One is Fucked And We'd Be Better Off Starting Over. Pla...
