Legitimately fell asleep listening to this last night. Top notch. Thk-thk.

Well I'm definitely at least 60% sure that's the shape of an American state on your right arm.

Have you found the hand tattoos have been fading at all? Last example I was given was a guy who had his beginning to noticeably fade after ~6 months, but then his weren't as nice and colourful as yours.

I would like to complain about whatever Unless is doing.

Evidently, there will be a line.

I was wondering if Sam misses crackers because Sam can't find the necromancy thread and Crackers would be able to help finding it, or if the necromancy thread is a thread dedicated to posting about members who have left the forum (presumably like Crackers) and that's why Sam was looking for it.

Are crackers really really good at finding old threads, or is that the thread you go to when you miss crackers or cheese or whatever else you haven't seen in a while?

So I used to have a bad habit of buying game bundles just to get one game I want at a reduced price. There are some keys here, and this'll be different from a robot's thread in that there will be different games, and also there won't be detailed descriptions beside each of the games because ya'll want a single say.

Anyways, on to the list.

I can give the installation files or the .torrent for the DRM-free games, and there are different files for each OS. I got these (almost?) all from Humble Bundle. If you don't specify I'll assume you want the torrent file for Windows.

Furthermore I'm wondering if the bullet did that slow-motion cinematic thing before you were shot.



The beginning of this morning's dream is pretty fuzzy. I and three others were staying in a house together, moving supplies and packages we just signed for, for the landlord. He was a jeweller, and we discovered he was getting stolen jewellery and diamonds sent his way to turn into different jewellery to sell cheap. I think somebody had a problem with that but I didn't really have enough of a problem to rock the boat, considering I was still living in his house. A blue jewel had fallen out of one of the packages and we weren't sure which one it had fallen out of, so it was some trouble because the landlord would be aware that we knew.
At some point we were also making sandwiches galore in preparation for an incoming black-out, but ran into problems creating these sandwiches because there was a blackout and somehow it came as a surprise to everybody.
When the landlord came back, he was my secret grandfather, and we tried to please him with sandwiches to detract from the fact that we fucked up his shipments a little bit. Things went rather south though, and we had to make a run for it. At that point I wasn't sure what had become of the blue jewel because I remembered pocketing it but couldn't find it in any of my pockets.

We were travelling on a space adventure as part of our escape, and taking copious amounts of phone calls... for some reason. At this point, I was a little robot akin to a Portal 2 core, though my associates didn't trust me and removed the little rockets I had attached to me so that I couldn't move about of my own accord. We got a phone call from one alien that spoke in perfect English, but went through the conversation backwards, and it was pretty confusing. It started off accusing us of correcting it when we hadn't, and at the end we realised that it had simultaneously been on the phone and had different conversations with three out of five of us. It was clear it wasn't happy with us, but considering we were on the run already it didn't really change our plans. It was pretty confusing, but at the end of the conversation the whole interaction made sense, and I only wish now I could remember more about how it went and if any of the finer details weren't just literal nonsense.
I was getting annoyed at always being lugged around under this one guy's arm and put down on surfaces and stuff, and was making a point of complaining about how these folks had removed my rockets. Every now and then when we'd come to a sudden stop, I'd float out through the window into space, and though the crew were quick to recover me, they were getting increasingly annoyed at me that I was giving away our cover by leaving the ship (which was quite frustrating seeing as it was their fault I couldn't control my movement in the first place).

Eventually we stopped at some sort of robot upgrade shop and I took this as a sign that I was going to get my rockets back and be able to move, but it became apparent that folks were just dumping me off to continue without me. I pleaded with them as they were leaving, saying I was sorry, I wouldn't complain, anything, but to no avail. I was brought into a room with some tech dudes who claimed I'd spend the next X years in some storage room until they found a use for me. Before I went, they temporarily put me into human body and gave me a slight bit of water, which doesn't sound that bad when I type it out, but at the time seemed mainly to be a cruel act as if to show what I would be missing out on. They kept knocking my hands down whenever I tried to take any.
I was put back into my robot ball body and moved into the storage room. Over a lot of time, I began talking with one of the workers who turned out to be some sort of sadistic nymphomaniac, and after building up some level of trust, she'd put me in a body temporarily every now and then to have sex with and cut me (with a fucking katana). It was pretty weird because not only did I have a different body each time, but also we'd both switch bodies multiple times and rapidly during our sessions when we made contact. I think that was just something I was able to do since going into a body that wasn't mine. One of the days, she trusted me with the sword presumably because she was an idiot, and I cut her throat and then stabbed her through her eye socket and out the back of her head.
I looked at myself in a mirror as I cleaned the blood off the sword and it looked pretty cool, like a trope ripped straight out of a bad winter 2017 anime. My body was really shaky and malnourished, but the plan was to kill my way out of this station, then find and kill the peeps who left me here to rot.

Aaaand then I woke up.

It's the thought that counts.

Another very okay cover, whoopie.

You could always dress up in a green Velcro onesie and fight crime poorly.

Yesterday I was in the shower, looked up, and saw a spider. It was on its web and swaying in a light breeze as it tried to walk, but kept thinking better of it and then stepping back one step, all in perfect timing with a song that was playing in my head. It looked like it was dancing. It was great.

That's completely outlandish and ridiculous, what sort of library lets you take your shoes off and put up your feet?

Have any of ye been watching the new season of Red Dwarf? I think it's the latest season I was watching yesterday. It was season 11. Anyway, very minor spoiler here:
[spoiler]At some point in his early childhood, Lister sells the rights to his DNA to a company for $100 and half a pack of fags. They can bio-print him at will for whatever purpose they require.[/spoiler]I watched that episode last night and can only assume that this dream was in part inspired by that.


There was a partly shy but certainly awkward girl that had been home-schooled for four years, and this guy (who looked suspiciously like Alfie Allen) with whom she fell in love or something. It was awkward and slow but it seemed to be going well.
The two of them had special steampunk-styled glasses through which they could see that certain people were zombies in disguise, and the couple (with a slight stretching of the word here) were secret zombie hunters. Perhaps the girl had introduced the boy to the world of zombie-hunting? It's very hazy now, but I remember it being fun.
At some point the zombie scourge had been dealt with, presumably. After doing so, looking at the world through the glasses only depicted all the structures and trees close to them being destroyed as they approached - it also allowed for them to walk through the places these walls had been prior (though they were still there IRL?). There were also still plenty of zombies to be seen through the glasses, but they weren't actually there once the glasses were taken off.
The two were having a new year's celebration of some sort, and though many guests showing up and passing through, the two made sure to scan each one as they arrived to ensure they weren't zombies. One woman seemed to have a suspicious-seeming dog, and so Alfie, whose position I had taken over at this point, followed her only to find she was some sort of undercover cop who had stolen a wedding ring from me under the assumption that it was stolen. The dog was in fact fine, and just happened to have a red patch of fur. I think I was going to propose to the girl from school. It's unclear. in any case, I killed the woman and her dog and took the ring back, and explained to the school girl that it was because she had been a zombie, which was actually a believable reason because they had come back again, though couldn't be seen at all without the glasses.
The school girl's father knocked on the door to the house and saw me with a bloodied baseball bat I straight-up told him about zombies, because it's entirely possible the whole world would need to become aware now in order to not die.

And then... there was a time-skip. Eh. I remember this being exciting but it's all a bit muddled.

Alfie, through whose POV I was no longer experiencing the dream, had died was being created en masse on an assembly line. Many had to be created in order to find one that was just right, as bio-print was a tricky task. He knew of it on some level, that there were many other versions of him being created. When he was made properly (whether he was organic or not, I'm not sure) to schoolgirl's specifications, he was informed that because he was built for her, he'd have a switch on his back which she could activate at any time to destroy him. He also had to go with somebody who worked in the factory to collect some spare parts to finish the creation of his body. They went out back to what looked like a scrapyard and saw many Alfies on an assembly line, some even fully made and functional but having been created too late, rolling down into some of those spiky rotary crusher things and screaming as they were processed, though whether from fear or pain was unclear. Some made a point to beg with or glare at the factory worker before they went, and some were capable of ignoring the pain or simply didn't feel it, flipping the worker off as they were destroyed; a last defiant gesture to a fucking hostile world.
The factory worked grabbed something from what lay beneath and ungraded Allie with the piece. Allie was introduced to the girl from school and she was sceptical at first and he was nervous and disturbed and terrified, and then made a faux pas by saying, completely out of character and for no apparent good reason, "At least one good thing came out of [the previous me]'s pathetic little life — me."
She then walked away in distress and minor disgust.

This struck a resounding WTF chord with me, apparently so loudly that I woke up.

Dating a vegan helps too.

Not to detract from the other things, but dating a vegan is probably one of the biggest reasons people are good at being vegan. You know, just like Samuel L. Jackson almost almost said that one time.

In any case, working on organic agriculture has had almost the opposite impact on me. Seeing how dependant fruit and vegetable products are on animal products has left me rather despondent.

all nightmares are essentially just manifestations of real life anxiety. or sometimes they're just the side effects of eating a bad burrito

I like the latter because though most dreams seem to be based at least loosely on things you're already experienced and are on your mind, you can at least blame the fact that they've developed into nightmares on the [burrito], and otherwise appreciate the exotic dream for what it has been.

...  my right cheek from a terrifying robot who apparently finds me very cute?

As an Irish farmer it's not uncommon to be required to grow potatoes just to keep your farm afloat with all the costs.
Is it that you thought farm were animals being mistreated so you were driven off eating the meat?

A lot of my dreams — or at least the ones worth remembering — are on the wild side, and I just try to enjoy them for what they are instead of reading into them too much. Except for the like wherein my mother's upsetting me in public and the message probably shouldn't be too hard to decipher.

Have you ever gone fishing IRL in an ice lake before, and being trapped under the ice is a fear of yours? Was it cold in your dream?

I also like that second quote, but I hope you don't live there.

So long as it doesn't cause the device to feel weird to hold as you play it, that sounds like a fun idea.
I own Pokémon Moon and haven't yet finished the post-game shenanigans or started breeding Pokémon, but I do have my team of 6 that got my through the game. I'll add you and we could battle or trade if you like. I'll probably be spending a lot of the next two weeks absorbed in this.
