The Small Rants Thread IX: Leaping into the Well of Darkness

[brujon]

brujon, have you considered seeing someone?

Because you sound like you have a drinking problem. Not to nag or anything, but that's not good, not at all.


I'm importing a copy of Exo 3464... mein gott, shipping and handling is just under a euro shy of doubling the cost. Good thing the exchange rate isn't too ruinous right now.

I don't think so... Just got back home from a date, in which i didn't drink a single drop. In fact, i haven't drank a drop since friday... I might have lack of impulse control, but i don't think it's anything specifically tied with the booze. I'll try and go a month without drinking, see if it's at all feasible.

Damn it, got the last post on the page...

I wish you luck.

Well in addition to the refrigerator dying a friend has passed on, the cat is sick, and I had to talk another friend down from putting a bullet in his head.

Fuck Tuesdays.

Like I said, I'm lucky it wasn't worse.

I'm also lucky that the dollar and the euro don't have that bad of an exchange rate at the moment.

We and our nearly 2.80 bucks to one dollar/3.22 bucks to one euro ratio respectfully disagree. 

Isn't that the same news as usual though?  Brazil's economy is fucked up?

It gets more fucked up every time the current party gets reelected. Just as soon as it was this past year we learned it had a 17 bilion reais (nearly 6 billion dollars) worth of deficit in our treasury. Which happened because of the outrageous amount of money we spend on our unworking bureaucracy. It's the worst ratio in the past 10 years...

Snow comes EVERY SINGLE YEAR people.  Every one.  It's not new.  It's not acid.  You don't have to drive 5 in a 50.  A 50.  A road cleared salted AND sanded 50.  When there's been LESS THAN AN INCH.  So this morning, I'm trying to park.  People are stupid in parking lots.  There's about an inch of snow in parts of the lot, and no snow in most.  You can still see the parking spots, and the more covered ones have the little indent where a car was while it snowed.  And still, we lost about 10% of the spots because people shut off their brains with snow on the ground.  You don't need 2 meters between you and the car next to you.  You need less than half a meter.  And no, I don't live in the South.  Anywhere near it.  I'm in mid-north Indiana.  It snows here Every Single Year (except that one year).  But no one learns!

The rain and wind are being particularly loud and obnoxious.

I'm afraid for the future of my gaming group.  We've played about 3 sessions, and 2 of my players have spent about half of each session bickering.  They've driven off one player entirely (he came to the first session, but made up excuses for the others), and they waste so much time arguing about stupid stuff that it's driving the rest of us insane.  I'm afraid I'm going to have to stop inviting one of them to play.

Here come the tics again, or whatever they are...  Basically I'm shaking and have to make a conscious effort to not do it otherwise it keeps going in some form.

Peek at your meds.  Thats a common side effect for some, and if so needs to be reported.

I'm pretty sure it's not my prozac or wellbutrin.  My tics are a combination of my ASD and anxiety/mood issues.

Every single thing on my schedule for the last week and a half, has had to be rescheduled.  Everything.  Some have had to be rescheduled two or more times.  One just 5 minutes before, another at 10 minutes late.  WTF !!  I look at my calendar and I do not see a calendar.  Minus 10^o weather ain't got nothing on Massive random acts of Chaos.

I swear the Planets have aligned against me.  Sir Isaac Newton was a part-time Astrologer, I should ask him.  Io is in my death house, and trine Vesta in Virgo.  Ugh.

It can still happen, I think. I was on Zoloft for almost a year when I started getting muscle tremors (in my jaw and lips). I told a doctor, he took me off the medicine and it almost immediately stopped. Switched meds, dealt with the crap of learning a dosage for a new SRI, and the tremors stopped. But it still took a year to get the side effect in the first place.

And now the brake light is on in the car 

Granted its negative 20 degrees, so its possible its just that

That's not the brake light, that's the Eiji light.  It's trying to warn you there are Eiji's in your car.  You should be careful, they're known to spontaneously [REDACTED] when the brakes are applied.

I am clearly not drunk enough for this.

How long have I been playing D&D?  How many years?  I know this stuff front to back, I could quote things from all kinds of splatbooks, I know all the best combinations, and I am a king among my friends.  I've followed this board since it was still on Wizards before the great exodus and the arrival of 4e.  I've seen so much...

How.  How is it then that this has somehow escaped me for so long.  I knew that, compared to the summon monster line, summon's nature ally started out strong and ended up weak.  I knew that.  I just... I had no idea how weak it ended up.

A level 9 spell people.  A spell among the likes of Time Stop.  Shapechange.  Wish.  Fucking Wish.  Yeah, not all spells are even.  Meteor Swarm is there, it sucks, but it is only off by like two spell levels or so.  I'd cast it for a 7th level slot.  But Summon Nature's Ally 9.  Holy broiled Jesus muffins on a pogo stick.  Summon Nature's Ally 9.

A pixie.  CR 5.

And a grig.  CR 1.

One.  ONE.  Uno.  Ein.  Odna.  Hito.  Un.  Um.  Een.  Oinos.  Aon.  Mot.  Xejn.  Ek.  A singular CR.  Only one.

But... but of course, it's justified.  It has irresistible dance!  Mass irresistible dance!  It... it has a save.  Ok, not so irresistible, but I'm sure it's....

DC 12.

What about the pixie?  Sleep!  Memory loss!  It's arrows, surely they ca-

DC 15.

What the fucking fuck WotC.
