Re: Domino Quartz's Delightfully Quaint Random Banter Thread #248
In other news, after noticing my stepfather struggling to get his jerky maker down, I volunteered to get it as I am tall and cursed with long limbs.
What I did not know was that he had a spare blade from his meat slicer right next to the jerky machine, not in any kind of container.
Time slows as what appears to be a serrated sawblade rolls out of seemingly nowhere and falls off the top of the cabinet and though I see it coming my body fails to move. It bounces off my hand, scraping two fingers, and then time resumes its normal flow as it bounces off of me, cuts the hell out of my stepfather's hand, and then bounces again landing on the far side of the kitchen counter.I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

Re: Domino Quartz's Delightfully Quaint Random Banter Thread #248
I wish I could say "and thats when your stepfather learned not to leave random unprotected blades sitting in obscure nonvisible locations where they could be dangerous." but based on how you have described him previously I think its more likely that the followup was "and that's when your Stepfather yelled at you for dropping a knife on his hand that you had no ability to see and he didnt tell you was there."

On a fateful evening, I foolishly sworn myself to follow Xykon's updated speech rule ...thing. The twelve gods know that I regretted my decision ...since then ...multiple times.

Re: Domino Quartz's Delightfully Quaint Random Banter Thread #248
Thanks for the sympathy everyone (update in spoiler)
SpoilerI visited him this morning, on the palliative care ward. He's no longer responsive, and on a driver.
He's been rapidly going downhill since December, after he hurt his arm in a fall. My brothers think he just gave up. Either way, he picked up an infection last time he was in hospital and that seems to have spread to his kidneys.Hi, I'm back, I guess. ^_^I cosplay and stream LPs of single player games on Twitch!

Re: Domino Quartz's Delightfully Quaint Random Banter Thread #248
I recently updated my desktop to have a 2TB internal SSD, and now loading times are much better on games. Especially BG3, now I just need to decide which of the poly Origin Characters to date so I can snuggle with Bear Dad.
Probably not Karlach, she's not that up for it.

So anyway today my supervisor told me the update for my television debut for Table For All on PBS. The day is going to be May 22, 2024 on Wednesday. I don't know the actual time but I'll let you know the final update of the time.

Re: Domino Quartz's Delightfully Quaint Random Banter Thread #248
BB, sorry about your dad. That's rough.
I've had something similar happen. I was in a Tuesday Morning, and there was a little old lady who was having trouble reaching a box of quilts on the top shelf. I stretched up, grabbed it, and it tilted just enough to drop the large cast iron frying pan that was resting on top of the box on my head. Large goose egg, and the sad thing is that wasn't even the worst part of the day."That's a horrible idea! What time?"
T-Shirt given to me by a good friend.. "in fairness, I was unsupervised at the time".

Re: Domino Quartz's Delightfully Quaint Random Banter Thread #248
Not sure I totally understand, but I think I understand the main point. You want to be life-suffocating goo.
Congrats on the exciting developments in your life. Hope your cough goes away. And that you and that young lady get to see each other again.
Good luck.
That's exciting.
I'm sorry about your dad. It must be a super stressful time for you and your family.

Re: Domino Quartz's Delightfully Quaint Random Banter Thread #248
This is the last I'll say about it here (I know it's a bit of a downer)
SpoilerHe passed away peacefully on Thursday morning.
My brothers and I are going through all the paperwork. I'm distracting myself as best I can while also looking for a new place to live.
In unrelated news, on Saturday I was woken up at like 9 in the morning by a middle aged woman asking if I could retrieve a balloon from my garden. Sure enough there was a "50 today" balloon tangled in a bush just outside the back door.
Very surreal.Hi, I'm back, I guess. ^_^I cosplay and stream LPs of single player games on Twitch! Mon, Wed & Fri; currently playing: Nier: Replicant (Mon/Wed) and The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons (Thurs or Fri)

Re: Domino Quartz's Delightfully Quaint Random Banter Thread #248
So that Spec bio-series on Youtube I mention every so often has been picking up steam with output.
Last week the released a video on a rather terrifying take on deep-sea mermaids, after releasing the "what if both zombie and werewolf" video I mentioned a little bit before hand.
...This week, total whiplash. They started talking about the squonk.I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

Re: Domino Quartz's Delightfully Quaint Random Banter Thread #248
Pop culture trivia: When Gravity Falls was first airing, the showrunners posted an AMA thread in character as series antagonist Bill Cipher.
One Reddit user asked Bill's gender and his response was that he doesn't know because, to paraphrase, his dimension of origin recognizes over 14 billion distinct genders and he can't be assed to do the paperwork to keep track.
Granted, he could be lying. He does that.I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

Re: Domino Quartz's Delightfully Quaint Random Banter Thread #248
Depends on the language. By my calculations, with about 280 phonemic speech sounds (easily manageable even without going non-pulmonal if you don't mind conconant clusters), the answer is 5 or less per each. Some of the letters, mind, will probably look… Weird, to the untrained eye.
Edit: Oh, and that's assuming the language uses a reasonable, largely phonetic alphabet. With, say, an abjad, a syllabary, logographic stuff or some very odd etymological script one can go lower yet (possibly at the cost of dramatically increasing the number of graphemes neccessary, but such is life).Last edited by Metastachydium; 2024-03-25 at 03:12 PM.

Re: Domino Quartz's Delightfully Quaint Random Banter Thread #248
A) do you always try to ruin jokes?
B) that would be a bad thing as there's a big difference between demimales, agenders, and fluidflux people. We should honestly instead just tear down the pillars of male and female and let people identify their gender as they see fit*.
But mostly A.
Reinstalled Mass Effect Andromeda and fires it up yesterday, because BG3 has so few romance options that look cool. On the downside none of the ME romances reach the awesomeness of Halsin.
* I don't have a legal name, why do I have a legal gender?
