Magic from Bargains - Zarkonnen
http://zarkonnen.livejournal.com/37810.html
Magic from Bargains - Zarkonnen. Apr 28th, 2013 02:51 pm. I just read a pretty neat Escapist article. That argues for more interesting forms of magic in computer games. One idea I really like (because I'm horrible) is having to pay a permanent price for each spell cast. (The spells, in exchange, being very powerful and useful.). Here's some ideas for what each spell cast could cost you:. Your field of vision contracts by 1%. Your vision loses 1% saturation. You lose 5% of your HP. Drinking a potion cause...

Themic life - Sally's Journal
http://atreic.livejournal.com/483993.html
Themic life - Sallys Journal. November 12th, 2012. Last night, on the coach back from Luton, I read squid314's post about a guy asking him for money for train tickets. It's a nice discussion of 'is this a scam, did he really want train tickets, did I do the right thing / wrong thing, it's all a bit finely balenced, I'll never really know'. Anyway, then I got home, and found out that pavanne had posted yet another similar story. November 12th, 2012 11:24 pm (UTC). November 12th, 2012 11:46 pm (UTC). Stopp...

About misogyny (warning, it's kinda sweary maybe NWS and your W). Anyway I wanted to pick up on a small part of it. So of course you never say "NO WAI, horrid demanding nasty-person that you are! Because that would be unreasonable. May 29th, 2008 10:42 am (UTC). May 29th, 2008 10:47 am (UTC). What's wrong with "arsehole", damnit? I wou...

Foreverdirt linked to this excellent talk about sexism in - Mlisilinaath Thabana. Read my inane wibblings at DW too. May 7th, 2008. Excellent talk about sexism in science, the talk is an hour long and there are introductions before and questions after so it is a bit long, but I think worth it. May 7th, 2008 10:14 am (UTC). Edited at 2008-05-07 10:14 am (UTC). May 7th, 2008 10:17 am (UTC). Yes, it's very silly of them. May 7th, 2008 02:14 pm (UTC). How it works (XKCD). May 7th, 2008 10:21 am (UTC). Oh, it...

Although it too me some time to figure out you were shooting things and that was why they were collapsing. More visible ordnance? 2013-03-02 12:51 pm (UTC). Good point - the fire weapon used at the start shoots really hard-to-see projectiles. Say, could I possibly rope you into testing this thing sometime soon? 2013-03-02 06:11 pm (UTC).

Mostly about Catching Fire - Sally's Journal
http://atreic.livejournal.com/506848.html
Mostly about Catching Fire - Sallys Journal. November 24th, 2013. Mostly about Catching Fire. I have lots and lots of Things bouncing around in my head about Catching Fire. I want to write an intelligent, coherant review, but if I try to do that, I'll just fail to do anything. So have as many bullet points as I can think of before I go to bed. Spoilers, obviously. Only for the film in the body of the text, but more generally in the comments for all things Hunger Games. Especially Prim. Capable Prim, ...
