  Poke Yuku about HTML5 Youtube Embeds?
Posted by: Jorlem - 03-07-2016, 11:19 PM - Forum: Forums - Replies (7)

Would it be possible to see if it is possible to enable HTML5 embeds on the forum?  Flash is something of a security risk, and pretty much everyone is migrating away from it.  I typically have it deactivated in my browser.  However, the forum appears to only support flash youtube embeds, or at least it seems to be turning all the embeds into Flash, which makes navigating a certain subforum rather annoying.

Starting tomorrow, every day this week Pottermore will be posting a new story about magic in North America. 
I'm hyped.

  Dice Shaming
Posted by: DHBirr - 03-04-2016, 07:36 AM - Forum: General Chatter - Replies (1)

It's like pet shaming, only for dice that failed their owners in role-playing games. A friend sent me a series of pictures, mostly twenty-siders. I won't show the pictures themselves -- dice with the number "1" uppermost get kind of monotonous, not to mention bringing back painful memories. What was written on the slips of paper, though....

I made sure my owner never rolled more than a 1 for damage.

I brought my owner 200 ft up a sheer cliffside then decided to let her fall right before reaching the top.

I left my owner on fire for five turns and proceeded to fail a save against petrification.

I refused to help my owner when he was captured by drow.

I like to roll high on useless rolls and low on important ones. (DHBirr comment:  Don't they ALL?!)

I made my owner be the only one in the party to fail her stealth roll --- and she's the NINJA.

I made my owner & his friend miss eight arrows each on someone with four HP, while he killed their friend.

I made my owner do nothing but chop herself in the leg.

(A "3") My owner didn't make her character scared of ghosts... I did. I never rolled higher than 10 when it came to fighting ethereal beings...

(Percentile dice with a score of "92") We can't Spot Hidden. Like, ever.

(A partly melted six-sided die, or perhaps two of them) I've rolled snake eyes for the LAST time!

(A "20") I killed our only Healer. My owner has not played since.

Edit:  Added one clarifying note.

  Looking for a fic
Posted by: Bob Schroeck - 03-03-2016, 11:04 PM - Forum: Other People's Fanfiction - Replies (240)

I came across this description of an unnamed, unlinked Evangelion fic on the "I Have No Son" page at All The Tropes.  Does this ring a bell for anyone, because not only does the page have a request for a link which I'd like to provide, I actually want to read this if it's any good.

Quote:...an Evangelion fanfic where someone takes advantage of Asuka in a party and she gets pregnant. Upon hearing this, her father immediately comes over from Germany with intentions of taking her back with him and performing an abortion to restore family honor, entirely without her consent. Her resistance results in the man flipping out and hitting her, causing Shinji (who proposed to her shortly before) to go berserk on his ass and almost kill him. Sohryu disowns Asuka and proceeds to take the family property for himself... only for Gendo to inform him that not only Asuka and Shinji are under NERV jurisdiction and therefore untouchable but she's also the sole inheritor of the entire family fortune, as per her mother's will. By disowning her, Sohryu forfeited his beneficiary rights. Oops! And that's even before Gendo threatens Sohryu that with Asuka and Shinji engaged, he considers her family so Sohryu will better back off or face the consequences.

"Today, girls, we're going to start on basic tactics."
"Tactics?" Minako asked.  "Oooh, I love those little breath
mints!  There's a combat version?"
I resisted the urge to facepalm.  She *had* to be doing thatintentionally.  "Not Tic-Tacs, Minako.  *Tactics*."  Is this howHexe felt around me when I goofed on the enemy?

  Space Patrol's Most Wanted
Posted by: DeputyJones - 02-27-2016, 06:00 AM - Forum: Fenspace - Replies (1)

Just a bit of a suggestion to throw out here. The entry by the name of "Crime in Fenspace" is in need of a refresher, I think. It's been almost 3 1/2 years.
For example, it says that Asmodeus Grey is the ONLY individual on the Space Patrol's Most Wanted list. I think this should change. Sure, Grey should be Undesirable #1, but what bout the other nine? Any ideas?
Here's some:
#3: Willard "Willie Pete" Peterson: from JakeGrey's Five Nights at Freddy's thread.
#8: "Granny Larceny": Real name unknown, this possibly* geriatric Caucasian woman is guilty of petty crimes and just plain embarrassment to the forces of law and order in Fenspace. Her modus operandi is to rob a small time store and gunpoint and then wait for a police response. She then proceeds to lead them on a merry chase, first on foot and then with a prearranged waved vehicle, never the same one twice. Thus far, she has hit every other quick-e-mart store in the inner system and now seems to have set her sights on the outer.
(*: some believe Granny must be either an athlete whose biomod just makes them look like an old lady, others think it's a waved grandma suit)
Note: The name "Granny Larceny" comes from one of the earlier Ninja High School issues. A wanted poster is seen in the basement of the Quagmire Police Department offering a reward for her, and nothing else is ever done with the idea other than a quick mention by another character on whether they and someone else are "going after" her.

  Fen Filk?
Posted by: Dartz - 02-27-2016, 03:03 AM - Forum: Fenspace - Replies (1)

Aside from Mel's Contribution and a music video or two by the Hong Kong Cavaliers that I can't find anymore, are there any other in-universe fen-filk's that've been mentioned over the years. Or even just a list of titles that've been generated.

Dang, picked this up finally this week and just got around to watching it. Was there a storyline anywhere? As I was lost & still am, and feel like I should go watch something lighter, like Equestrian Girls.

I'll just note, the BB they got flying, that was a Flight 1 Iowa and not a Yamato?
