  So, the cast for the live-action "Lilo & Stitch" has been announced...

Here, with photos.

So... how hard do you think it will be to get the Maga trolls to look stupid(er) by getting them to complain that the cast isn't 100% lily-white "like they ought to be"? <grin>

  More formatting weirdness

Another time that my post has managed to break the forum's formatting.  Some of my sig above all of the other posts, and posts at the end in half-width.  I'm pretty sure this post is the problem:

Do you want to report this upstream?  It looks like a problem with the table tags.

  Yes, the forums were down again.

But if you're reading that, you can safely assume they're back. I noticed within minutes simply by chance, filed a ticket with my host, and the boards came back in about 90 minutes.

  YouTube borked?
Posted by: classicdrogn - 08-07-2024, 11:42 PM - Forum: General Chatter - Replies (2)

Sometime between mid-day-ish EDT and maybe 10pm, opening any YT video freezes that page and starts writing a runaway browser cache file that I have to kill with System Monitor even after quitting Firefox. Anyone else having this problem? I did already update 'fox but it's still doing the same thing.

Edit to add: Note that that's a runaway cache file despite also keeping 'fox from sending or receiving any network data, at least according to System Monitor's IO graph.

It's the Ubuntu version specifically, since I am still running off a liveUSB, having failed to fix my previous system install but still not quite willing to nuke it and start from scratch, and still not having gotten around to clearing off the actual case and opening it up to replace the secondary SSD for experimental "taste testing" installs that failed while trying to find one that would work with the goddamn GeForce 3060 whose driver update started that whole problem to begin with.

I'm pretty sure this was something I read as an actual anime or manga summary, but ehhh...

MC is a gamer girl who uses male characters and names to avoid getting hassled online, but has recently developed a lot of feelings for a guy she teams up with a lot, and and arranged to meet IRL with the plan of confessing as long as he's not some grimy troglodyte. Instead it turns out her net-friend is also a girl who does the same thing online.

Oh noes, wat do, yuri shipteasing, etc. I don't know if they actually get together or just remain friends; honestly I have no idea what happens beyond that at all, as apparently whatever led me to the summary it didn't grab me enough to look further let alone follow the actual media at the time.

Any ideas?

  utility: Mystery of the Lost Sock by "Everyday Warriors" (AI Tunes)
Posted by: classicdrogn - 08-03-2024, 07:07 PM - Forum: The Game Everyone Loves To Play - Replies (1)

Effect: general buff and hastening of Laundry Day chores to complete them within the play time of the song, also repairing damage and restoring any partial pairs or sets with lost members. Everything comes out of Doug's laundry basket warm and just at that perfect point of broken in without actually getting worn and threadbare. He must have appropriate facilities and supplies (at the minimum, a bit of soap while beside a "clean enough" water source, and some kind of line or object to hang things up to dry on) but as far as can be told after finishing they have not actually been used, or consumables (detergent, bleach, etc.) depleted. The laundry area (within Doug's AoE at least) will even be a bit tidied up of any messes or minor issues of the sort that can be addressed with normal cleaning and hand tools while waiting for those parts of the process that don't need active effort with the available facilities.

It's not an earth shaking combat ability, but very handy when he arrives in a less developed world, and there are, as ever, possible situations where it becomes the exact tool he needs in a critical moment.

... actually, has Doug ever gotten the chance to play Fairy Godmother, like the literal bippity-boppity-boo "save the day with household magic" kind of deal? Seems like the kind of thing he'd be deeply amused by.

  Probability Manipulation: Throw My Bones by Deep Purple
Posted by: classicdrogn - 07-24-2024, 08:24 PM - Forum: The Game Everyone Loves To Play - No Replies


link


effect: Doug holds a planned action in mind while the song plays. If it's something that can be completed within the remaining duration of the song, he'll know the exact moment to perform it to get maximized results from his point of view, or to at least avoid wrost-case results if time is more pressing. If it's something longer term, at the end of the song he'll have a feel for whether the plan in its current form would have a good or bad result, again from his point of view. Other probability manipulation effects not originating from Doug (his chaos field or song powers, and only song powers in the plan) are not accounted for, but will also have unpredictable results when used against him to try to affect the intended action or plan, even more than usual when trying to deal with Doug.

(Also, it's just a good song, and its generally non-disruptive effect means he can just listen to it for the sake of it if he wants to, and make some really good sandwiches or something.)
