<Charlatan> Also, I have best username.
<HederaHelix> "UnlimitedBaconWorks"?
<Charlatan> I was hungry.

<CTrombley> I have a folder called "Dicks". It is full of pictures of private detectives.

<Barcode> Penguin asked for a book recommendation, RocketDude suggested a battletech novel (?????) that had Vietnam parallels, JBridge didn't understand one of the parallels, saladofstones started talking about it because that's his job~

<BonSequitur> "So it's an action-tactics word game RPG in which you create a character and cast spells by interacting with other characters with a natural language interface. It's set in a post-modern Victoriana-meets-New-Wave universe, to the music of Radiohead. The end boss is a Steampunk mecha hitler."
<Nitya> I like it, Bon, where's your Kickstarter
<BonSequitur> "Oh, and it's a F2P social game with Facebook integration as well."
<Nitya> :<
<BonSequitur> I'm setting up a Kickstarter for the Kickstarter for that project.
<BonSequitur> As you know, making a sweet Kickstarter presentation costs money.
<Nitya> Good, good.  Maybe you can get some VCs to fund that Kickstarter.
<BonSequitur> Actually, I was in talks with a microfinancing outfit about getting some seed funding to pay for my trip to go talk to VCs who can potentially help fund the kickstarter for my awesome Kickstarter presentation for the game project.
<IllFlower> Microfinancing is passé now. We've been using marginal loss-based nanofinancing sourced from urban pedestrian traffic corridors for our project.
<BonSequitur> IllFlower, you mean you've been taking lost change from sidewalks?
<IllFlower> That's what the venture capitalists said when they laughed at my financing scheme. We'll see who pelts whom with quarters next time we meet!
<Nitya> I think there's a viable tax deduction for that.
<IllFlower> Form 1067-N, line 26(a): Deductions for coinage used as munitions.
<Nitya> Sometimes, the system does work. :)

<Barcode> remind me why anyone uses the warp for space travel
<Barcode> also, how
<Nitya> Because the webway is shut down or something, and they have shields that prevent bananas from morphing into daemons and such.
<Barcode> now imagining the bananas in pajamas with chainswords

<Kanade> they do say birds of the same feather fuck together
<Kanade> *flock
<Kanade> I MEANT TO SAY FLOCK
<Kanade> I TOTALLY MEANT TO SAY FLOCK
<Kanade> SERIOUSLY
<Kanade> oh god damn it

<saladofstones>  And so the matous said, and let be known, let us be a dick to orphans because it powers our magecraft, amen
<Nova> "I only have to refuse to feed.... twenty-six more starving orphans and I'll advance to Rank 7!"
<Nova> "I am so close to Rank 8 I can almost smell it. I think I'll go kick a puppy, that'll get me up there."
<saladofstones> "If I cause a baby to cry five more times, I'll get +5 to my magic stat"
<JBridge> I thought that'd bump up CHA, if anything.
<Nova> "If I steal candy from eleven more babies, I'll get +3 Strength, but I dunno, man. Strength is my dump stat, maybe it'd be better to work on my Magic some more."

*** ponicalica was kicked by IllFlower (get it off get it off get it *off*)
<ponigirl> STOP KICKING HIM, JERK
*** ponicalica has joined
<IllFlower> MAKE ME, JERK
<ponicalica> is this a catfight?
<IllFlower> MAYBE IT IS, JERK
<ponigirl> NOBODY ASKED YOU, JERK
* zeroplusalpha pretends to be very interested in the carpet all of a sudden.
<zeroplusalpha> "My, what a lovely weave."
<IllFlower> STOP OGLING THE CARPET, JERK
<ponigirl> THAT CARPET ISN'T BEING PRETTY FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT, IT IS ITS OWN PRIZE
<IllFlower> GOD, PONIGIRL, DON'T YOU HATE IT WHEN JERKS DO THAT
<ponigirl> YES, I MEAN, SERIOUSLY, WHAT JERKS.

<HederaHelix> I panic whenever I'm getting a B in stuff
<Puffin> you don't need to panic, I don't think
<Puffin> grades don't reflect learning, in my experience 
<Nitya> no, but they do reflect grades.
