I feel like that should have maybe been a red flag while dating.

I could never ever work in that field, it gives me the ick. So I appreciate people who can.
Also enamel is the hardest substance in your body; AFAIK chemically it is indeed interesting and hard (ha) to emulate with other bio-safe materials.

I hate all three of you lol

Thankfully I haven’t seen this, but if I did, the feature I’d be inclined to use is called “block sender”.

Shut up the take my upvote 😂

In purely game terms, I think it’s just visual shorthand for walking gingerly. Because actually stepping carefully and quietly depends on a lot of factors (surface texture, surrounding environment, footwear, wind conditions, etc) and would be a bitch to fully animate for every permutation.

This is a precursor to defending your thesis, right? I don’t mean to discourage, I’ve just been away from academia for a few too many years and my memory is getting rusty on the order of operations.
Regardless, it’s a massive milestone and I commend your commitment to humanity’s knowledge in the strongest possible terms.

I thought I saw elsewhere in the thread that you’re also on Team Quistis. She’s great too 😄

Glad to see some bismuth love, but c’mon.
- “Every single metal element” then calls out copper & gold separately.
- No respect for chromium, which probably has more colorful compounds than any metal.
- No cobalt either?
- Manganese is quite coppery; palladium and ytterbium can be gold-ish.

Nah. I was squarely in that audience but my heart went more toward princess Marle and weirdly attractive blonde cavewoman Ayla. Luca was a cool pal though. And you can’t deny those crits.

And latex/spandex. Now that you mention it, this might’ve been the start of both lol

For me, maybe Razor from Maniac Mansion, even though I never made it more than ~30 mins into that game. My kid brain didn’t understand the funny tingly feeling but years later I realized, “oh duh, hot punk babe”.
There was also Princess What’s-Her-Name, though she wasn’t much of a character.
In terms of characters with actual detailed personality, the first big one was probably Rinoa from FF VIII. I was the same age as her when I played it.

Maybe it’s about a neutron star. Those are typically on the order of 10 km radius. And it’s hard to know their exact composition, which is why cosmologists dream up fun terms like “nuclear pasta” for degenerate matter.

Yet another Bandcamp shopper here. I stream from their site to preview albums but then buy my favorites later. DRM-free FLAC files are the best.

Moreover, we’ve found significant correlations between the quantity of consumed legumes with the frequency and duration of flatus events. This relationship may be exponential. Further studies are needed to understand the upper bounds.

I’m a scientist. Beans are a fruit, of the musical variety.

Just kidding. He’s still rippin’ DVDs and loading up 256 GB mechanical drives and chugging on Crysis like it’s 2007.
- Comment on Do you recognize this PC case? 2 months ago:
All these years later I hear he’s alone and quite empty inside. Sad fate for such a champ.

Yeah I remember that case. That’s Kevin.

Right? It’s especially worth at least a second or even third glance in places that have a historical predilection to metastatic fascism.
- Comment on YSK about Changing your Profile Picture to Clippy 3 months ago:
Exactly. That was captured in one of Clippy’s most famous lines.
“I see you’re trying to write a letter. Can I help?”
“I see you’re trying to write a résumé. Can I help?”
This of course got parodied a million times:
“I see you’re trying to write a radical manifesto. Can I help?”
“I see you’re trying to write a suicide note. Can I help?”

I dunno. Samuel L. Jackson is a pretty big star. Scarlett Johansson too.
