  Toho of Borg.

This probably doesn't matter to anyone here anymore.

All the Anime have been purchased by Toho.

Exactly what this will do for things I don't know. But Andrew Partridge is still sticking with it, at least. And Toho are bound to be less shit than embracer.

  Metasong (extended effect): Trancendental Cha-cha-cha
Posted by: classicdrogn - 12-19-2025, 09:40 AM - Forum: The Game Everyone Loves To Play - Replies (1)


click here

effect: must be used after the song to be extended, and Doug must dance to the music. As long as he continues to dance, the effect of the previous song will continue. This is usually unneccessary in combat situations, but for support and utility effects it can be quite handy as long as he has the space and endurance to keep on shakin' his booty.

Despite the title and only being a single music file, the song changes style to fit the one it's extending and duration to end perfectly when he decides (or is forced) to stop dancing.

If ab additional limitation is needed for game balance, perhaps it only adapts once per world, the first time he uses it there, or once per musical genre? The lyrics do mention that this is the only time it sounds like a cha-cha-cha after all.

  The meaning of "mugwump"...
Posted by: robkelk - 12-15-2025, 05:46 PM - Forum: Drunkard's Walk VIII: Harry Potter and the Man from Otherearth - Replies (5)

... is, apparently, different in the UK than it is in the USA.

Cambridge Dictionary definition of mugwump:

Quote:US informal (also Mugwump)

a person who likes to be politically independent and does not support or remain loyal to any political group:
As a reporter, I've met with political groups large and small, Democratic and Republican, Green Party, mugwumps, you name it.

UK informal old-fashioned

a stupid person:
To make a fresh milk cheese at home is the simplest of processes; any mugwump can do it.

So, is "Supreme Mugwump" Dumbledore a person who by definition does not take part in partisan politics, or is he the biggest idiot?

...how he designed Paradox's weapons from scratch, particularly the innovative idea of a shield that was also a blade.

Well.

Turns out it wasn't so original an idea. The design is called a Hungarian shield or a Hungarian punch shield, and it was the big thing in shield design in 16th century eastern Europe.

Here's a YouTube short (which I can't embed because MyBB doesn't know how to handle them) about using one, by a guy who does a lot of videos about archery and medieval weapons.

  Notepad++ needs a manual update
Posted by: robkelk - 12-10-2025, 06:52 AM - Forum: General Chatter - Replies (2)

Version 8.8.9 was just released yesterday to mitigate a hijacking of the Notepad++ updater that redirects it to malicious servers, and then tricks people into downloading malware, thinking they're downloading the latest software release.

For obvious reasons, it won't be on the Notepad++ updater if your installation has been hijacked, so you'll have to download and install it manually.

(And if you're running Windows and aren't using Notepad++ as your plain-text editor, you should consider switching. It doesn't have any AI.)
