"Just 10 minutes more," I thought to myself, as another minor shock wave from an explosion gently rippled past my rescue pod. The automated protocol blared at me sternly: How dare I snooze its efforts. A cloud of small fragments had been ripped off the dreaded prison ship's carcass. The curved bright trails in the planet's atmosphere bathed my face in warm light. I hadn't been this happy in years. This glorious fireworks of freedom. "Just 10 minutes more."

Thought of the day: You cannot spell transistor without trans.

White people trying to be edgy translates to punching down, it is like clockwork.

I was just recently reminded of my favorite "controversy" to ever happen in the hobbyist board gaming community - One Deck Dungeon.
So, ODD was going to be the first ever "roguelike in a box", and people were hyped - a way to scratch the itch of playing classic video games like NetHack, except with cardboard!
The game was released, word got around how good it was... and then vultures descended, attacking it with whiny posts and reviews.

The dragon smirked at the two knights. "So, who rescues who?"
"I'm sure, if I needed rescuing, my husband would be up to the task," said the first knight.

This is what happens, I thought to myself. This is why I hate this place. Just when I am about to reach that darn connector the wrench slips from my sweaty fingers. Blame the heat duct, blame the missing convection, blame that you decided that this was "just a quick fix".
