All,

I'm sure it's been covered before, but my search-fu is weak.

I have a character I'd like to re-roll. But I like her look and don't want to lose it. So the solution, of course, is to save her costume file. But when I try to load it back in again (as a test) I get the game telling me there are errors and I can't load it.

This is a file that the game JUST SAVED, and it's telling me that I cannot load it back in 15 seconds later?

How do I get around this?

I want to thank everyone profusely for the kind words. I didn’t expect anything like this. I was only venting last night, and really, really drunk when I posted. You all make this situation suck just a tiny, little bit less than it did before. Which is actually saying a hell of a lot.

I guess I should provide more specifics on it.

I asked my daughter to pull weeds in the back yard. And I had Swetha with me at the time. The bird obviously wanted to be with her, so I told my daughter to keep her while she pulled weeds. After awhile I told my daughter to go to the west side of the house to work. This is where the wall between my property and the neighbor is. At one point my daughter was stooped over with the bird on her back. She stood up and Swetha was either spooked or lost her balance, flapped her wings, and over the wall she went. (Although her wings were clipped, she still managed to get just enough lift.)

The dog was there, and that was pretty much the end of it.

So she feels guilty and that she’s to blame. And I feel guilty because I set the whole scene up. Rationally I know that it’s not the dog’s fault or the neighbor’s fault, but emotionally, well... that’s a different story. (And it doesn’t help that this guy has been nothing but a pain in the *** since he moved in, for reasons too numerous to mention.) So I tell my daughter that she isn’t to blame. And I *try* to tell myself that same thing, but I don’t believe me.

All,

The Zube family has, for several years, consisted of myself, my wonderful wife, my amazing daughter (almost 12 now) and a blue and gold macaw who was just a baby (just a year younger than my daughter).

Tonight my ****-ing neighbour's dog killed our bird.

My daughter cried herself to sleep in my bed, in my wife's arms. The bird lays on her back wrapped in her favorite blanket (that she loved to chew on and play with). And here I am drinking **** loads of alcohol in a vain attempt to pass out. And at the moment, I can't think of anything better to do than to share the misery. Since I have exactly zero RL friends to dump on, I guess all of you get to hear about it.

dammit all to hell.

I've easily soloed the first three out of four missions on my arc Exploding Planet, but the final mission is very tough. I've had comments from a person running a solo level 22 scrapper that the mission is impossible and was a sadistic debt fest, while I've soloed it with a DO-laden level 21 tank.

What...? The intranet has some OTHER purpose?

That one there in my sig is designed to be solo-able. It's 4 missions, but they are all pretty short. (The first one may be longer, depending on where the game puts the required spawns on the outdoor map.)

40th anniversary of the Moon Landing!

In honor of the event, ENJOY!

In honor of the illustrious (and often jerky) iltat's birthday, I offer a present wrapped in newspaper, and smelling of fish.

And also, I offer this Penguin-related link. (wait for the payoff.)



Aww... WTF... here's a few more:

I'd be glad to help by answering your question.

Just ask it again, this time in English please.

You're not eating the right kind of pie.

My grandma used to tell me about her famous hare pie. She gave it to all the soldiers when they came back from the war. It made her the most popular girl in town.

Sadly she never taught us the recipe before she died. I think the secret is in how she prepared the bunnies.


Anyway this is the recipe we use now.

[u]Hare Pie[u]


Ingredients

2 each rabbit jack, or 4 cottontail
1 each celery stalk diced
1 large onion diced
1 x salt
1 x black pepper
1 package biscuits prepared

Gravy

1 x stock reserved
1 x chicken bouillon
1 medium onion diced
1 x celery from above stalk
1 x flour, all-purpose
1 x salt
1 x black pepper
1 x sage
1 x poultry seasoning

Directions

Soak rabbits in salt water in refrigerator overnight.

Dry, cut up and stew rabbits with celery and onions for 2-3 hours.

Add salt and pepper to taste, then strip meat from bones and put in 26-inch pie pan, add stock or gravy for moisture.

Cover with biscuits.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour.

For gravy, take reserved stock, add bouillon, onions and celery.

Bring to a boil.

Strain.

Mix flour with an equal amount of water, add sauce to thickening.

Season to taste with spices.

You forgot the most important step in hare pie:

* Throw out all that nasty rabbit-meat, take the soldier into the bedroom, and [censored] him.

Well, it seems Southern_Comfort only has an issue with people sporting "Disruptor" or other pvp related badges as a badge title if they've farmed it.


[/ QUOTE ]

As a die-hard badger (arguably the most successful on my server), I must say that I totally resent any implication that I had to "farm" for the Disruptor badge!








I got it through a bug, like all the respectable badge whores did when it first came out.

Okay not only am I convinced this Optical Illusion guy is Twixt on an alt account but does anybody understand just what the heck he's talking about with this response?

[/ QUOTE ]

I doubt rational sense is important to Dr. Myers at this point.

My money is on him using his OPTICAL_ILLUSION alter ego to simply poke the player base in an effort to get us to insult him. Then he will use those insults in either another non-peer-reviewed paper or as a chapter in his vanity press book. I predict that he will be quoting the worst responses he can find here, of course, while not even mentioning all the rational, well-reasoned, well argued responses. Not to mention totally failing to quote himself and the things he said that garnered the insults.

I published something once. It was a study on the effects of alcohol on people who are specifically attracted to one race yet find themselves in a room filled with everything BUT that race of the opposite gender. I called it "Phillipino, Mexican...close enough."

The key part of ANY scientific experiment is repeatability. Preferably by other researchers.

And Optical I have no idea what the point of your post was. I'm not being mean, I just don't get it.

Get it? I couldn't even READ most of it. Any post that has to be DECODED to understand it just isn't worth the time.

Which was fairly typical when Dr. Myers was posting on these boards as Twixt, rather than this new alias.
