Serpentine's Secretly Sapphic Salacious Sacrarium of Random Banter #180

[Heliomance]

Hey, all.

I just found out that I have two coupons on Steam. One for 75% off Portal 2, one for a free copy of Achron. Thing is, I already have both games, so I figured I'd give them away. First person to say they want one or the other, along with their Steam name, gets it. Only one per person.

I would say yes to both if I were confident in my computer's ability to run them. Sadly, I am not.

Well, it's not my account, but my little brother goes by Obesebearmann , and he says he would like them.
I wouldn't mind getting to play Portal 2 myself, and Achron looks interesting.

[Qwertystop]

The Achron one was claimed before those of you who wanted it, by PM. 8:26 my time is when I got the message. Sorry.

The Portal 2 has now been claimed for Obesebearman. Just need him to accept the friend request, and I'll send it to him in the morning.

Wait, he's in mongolia?

I really hope not, since he's sitting right next to me. I think the extra n is relevant.

Edit: Nope, apparently he has a sense of humor, who knew?

[Tragic_Comedian]

How do you make friends in college, guys?

[wadledo]

How do you make friends in college, guys?

Find a club with similar interests. Be outgoing and interactive. If you ahve room-mates, hang out with them and their friends.

Most importantly, never, ever, ever be yourself. Anyone saying that all you have to be is yourself is telling you blatant lies.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

I assume it just kinda happens. That's how I usually make friends.

And don't listen to wadledo: if you don't be yourself, your friends won't actually like YOU, they'll just like the person you're presenting as.

[Siosilvar]

Thanqol, is that you?

[wadledo]

And see, I tried being myself.
Apparently myself is a jerk.

So I guess as long as your true self isn't a jerk, you're fine.

[Logic]

If you have an account, I ALSO have a Portal 2 coupon for 75% off.

I feed off my little brothers account, sine I am a casual gamer at best, and not a gamer at all at worst.

[Rawhide]

Geez, did everyone get a 75% off coupon for Portal 2?

I feel less special now.

[Logic]

I think everyone that owns it got the coupon.

[AtlanteanTroll]

Logic, you should just post something profound in the RB about once a month so people can quote you.

Well, it depends on what you mean by one's "true self". For example, I find that everyone (including me) has an outer shell of "not self" protecting them from societal disapproval. Some shells are thicker than others, obscuring the true self entirely. However, when people say "be yourself", they don't mean get rid of the shell entirely; that would likely lead to institutionalization. They simply mean to thin the shell, and have it be translucent rather than opaque.

To say everyone is certifiably deserving of institutionalization is a wee bit of a stretch.

I prefer to err on the side of cynicism. I get to be right more often that way.

[MoonCat]

Guys. I just finished watching Sherlock. Guys. Sherlock.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS

[AtlanteanTroll]

Oh, no, I do the same. But that is sort of an extreme statement.

[Logic]

When I was a frequent face before '09, I was rarely quoted. I expect little will change. (Totally not angsty, just acknowledging my skill with words.)

[wadledo]

Guys. I just finished watching Sherlock. Guys. Sherlock.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS

There's a modern day one with Watson as a feisty Asian female, which I feel is absolutely atrocious.
Why is everyone playing up to Arthur Conan Doyle all of a sudden?

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

Both seasons?
I KNOW RIGHT.

LIKE.

OH MY GOD.

I CAN'T EVEN.

JUST REMEMBERING THAT LAST EPISODE. HOW. WHY. AAARRGGHhhhhhhhhhh


Also, it feels weird to ship Sherlock and John, because I totally look like Sherlock and identify with him. AWWKKKSSS

The show creators ship'em though, so it's ok.

edit: the American one? Oh god that's going to be a travesty. The BBC modern one is kinda the best thing ever though. As seen from my reaction above.

PUNCHED! IN! THE! FEELS!

And their shippness will live forever. Partly because I just really support the idea that gay relationships can be treated as the non-center part of a story if it gets shown at all. And partly because they have been my OTP for forever.

[Tragic_Comedian]

Well, a girl just wrote her number on my door. This is either a cruel joke or she has the wrong room.

[Dimonite]

or... you know... she likes you. I mean, I don't really know you, but I assume that's within the realm of possibility. Or it could be the number for a secret society she's trying to recruit you for.

[LaZodiac]

Just because you're a tragic comedian doesn't mean your life is a tragic comedy. Go out and ahve fun. Unless by "wrote" you mean "carved" because if it's carved I assume you've drawn the Death arcane.

[Roland St. Jude]

Do what I'm doing. Build a time machine and go forward to when they release Season 3. That show is ridiculously good and a three episode season is like the worst kind of tease.

[Tragic_Comedian]

No, she didn't carve it on my door, and she didn't actually write on my DOOR, either. She wrote it on the marker board I have on my door.

[Logic]

No, she didn't carve it on my door, and she didn't actually write on my DOOR, either. She wrote it on the marker board I have on my door.

You could always text or call her, and ask if she got the right person.

[Mutant Sheep]

No, she didn't carve it on my door, and she didn't actually write on my DOOR, either. She wrote it on the marker board I have on my door.

Marker boards are great for exactly this reason. Really, be yourself around her, because that will either be what she got nterested in or B. Drive her away and you can get back to living your life without that crazy woman staring at you from across the lecturer.
