Hell levels, crossing EK and falling asleep on the keyboard, exp loss on death, half of required raiding classes unable to solo. It was a time.

<looks at scar> yeah, definitely don’t use your bare hand.

It’s a talent.

He was apparently the Chief Information Security Officer. Which could be anything from executive staff leading security initiatives, to being glorified head of helpdesk. Not many chickens involved either way, I expect.

No grinding dentition, so most fibers are out. Fangs probably don't develop until juvenile (given more standard mammalian formats), because birth would be... ew. Mouth can't open that far, so large prey is probably out. Hyper reflexes, infrared vision... bats. They eat bats.

"One" is rather optimistic.

Another fantastic article. While the subject is painful to me, I appreciate (and fund!) the Sun's great work.

My old printed photos, in a box in the basement. My kids are wonderful adults now, my parents have passed. They’re not bad memories, but it’s a lot to revisit.

Door Into Fire was the first time my small town self had seen a depiction of a same sex relationship. Much less a positive one. I’m glad kids can still have access to such things.
