In the spirit of collegiality, accept that the Van Halen and Van Hagar are two distinct bands. (This the way to healing, people!) Which is your fave post Diamond Dave song?

Hi, not sure if this is the best place to ask but I’m looking to learn Arabic and want to find speaking partners to practice with. Particularly I’ve been interested in learning Emirati Arabic but I’m flexible on the dialect. Has anyone had any success with meeting native speakers for practicing Arabic in the city?

Just came back from the final session of the Lost of Temple of Yig where my Investigator Abel Winslow (a battered, depressed, ex-homicide detective) tried to avert the End of the World by charging the High Priest and fumbling. He tumbled into a pit of snakes and when the other party members tried to rescue him and we all blew our rolls. Abel fell back into the pit landing on the snakes and amidst the sacrifices for the ritual. This was the final straw, he had already lost 12 Sanity in a short a period of time and falling back into the pit face to face with the dead sacrificial victims got him one more Sanity roll, which he failed and his mind snapped. As the serpents struck him he broke out into maniacal laughter that caused two other party members to lose Sanity as well.

Finally, as Yig rose of the pit our Keeper in a fit of devious cruelty made sure that Abel's laughing body was prominent in the writing morass which caused ANOTHER Investigator to go temporarily insane! Only two people escaped to wake up in a hospital some time later, only to discover their doctors were snake people and THEY were snake people too!

God, I love this game!

He's just a regular guy who just moved here.

I don't know if people are totally aware that people will go crazy and start burning things down, smashing windows, lighting busses on fire, that kind of thing.

So, my ship has kids on it because "Starfleet" and today during quarters inspection the "Captain Assistant" was "helping" (honestly I think they just the kid of some crewman he wants to bang) Long story short, the little "assistant" took out my mint in box Marauder Mo and began playing with it and lost his energy whip! Replacements on Lobebay are like three bars of GPL!

Should I ask the Captain to pay, the kids mom to pay or should I just shut up and shell out the latinum?

I just finished listening to Leviathan Wakes (audiobook is the only way I hadn't consumed the content already.) Miller on the show is depressed but sane, but book Miller is...complicated. Before 1st Eros he imagines Julie but it is just that, imagining her. After Eros he begins to interact with his Head Julie, and she him. The whole Eros experience caused the cheese to slip off his cracker right?

Or, was Miller infected by the Protomolecule? Maybe not a transformative dose, but just enough to connect him to the hive mind of the PM? In the audiobook when Jefferson Mays speaks in Julie's voice it is separate and distinct character, and it speaks to Miller, gives him insight that he just shouldn't have about Julie and about the PM itself.

I don't know, this has just been rolling around my brain like a ball bearing in coffee can and I needed to get it out.
