What does “A top 10 game” even mean?

Lord British Completely Misses Irony:

The two choice quotes from the article:

“[Other game designers] generally say, ‘You know, I really like Medal of Honor, but I would have bigger weapons, or I would have more healing packs, or,’ you know. They go to make one or two changes to a game they otherwise love versus really sit down and rethink,‘How can I really move the needle here?’”

That’s a direct quote from Richard Garriott, basically calling out his fellow game developers for incrementing or re-visiting the well too often.

Then the article concludes with this (not the quote inside is taken directly from the Kickstarter page):

“Garriott’s new game, Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues, has succeeded on Kickstarter with the promise that it’s a ‘return to his fantasy RPG roots, hearkening back to his innovative early work.’”

Uh-huh.

If Spider-Man’s power was shooting spiders out of his hands, no one would commit crime ever.

Spider-hands = no crime.

I will run for office on this political platform.

“I don’t mind your showing me your legs. They’re very swell legs and it’s a pleasure to make their acquaintace. I don’t mind if you don’t like my manners. They’re pretty bad. I grieve over them during the long winter nights.” —Raymond Chandler

“

DC Comics has handed the keys to the “Champion of the Oppressed” to a guy who has dedicated himself to oppress me, and my partner, and millions of people like us. It represents a fundamental misread of who the character is, and what he means.

It is dispiriting. It is wearying. It is also, finally, not for me.

One of the other nicknames that accrued to Superman right away – that predates “Man of Steel” by a good amount – is “The Man of Tomorrow.” And much of his early iconography bears a distinctive Socio-Realist, Diego Rivera vibe: a lot of burnished golden sunrises, eyes raised to the horizon, gazing into the future.

Because that’s where he lives, Superman. And that’s what he says to us: We can do better. We can be better, to ourselves, and to each other.

Hey, DC Comics? Be better.

I bet so. Ew.

I feel really bad for my character now for all those times I slammed like 10 Potions of Minor Healing in a row because I was too stingy to go for the Potion of Vigorous Healing. *Urp*

I work at a public library.: Sale Books, Checking Out the:

iworkatapubliclibrary:

A woman approached the checkout desk with three books she’d previously purchased from our book sale.

Woman: “Yes, may I return these?”

Me: “What? No. Why?”

Woman: “Well, I’m done with them now. If you can’t give me my money back, can I go trade them for three more sale books?”

Me: “What? No….

She made a valuable discovery that day.

Speaking of amazing comics…

Hazel is my favorite infant/future-self/narrator to date. Just so the record reflects that.
