Happy birthday to [livejournal.com profile] rubberella!

Hello to new reader [livejournal.com profile] knotshere!

Medical
The usual, plus coordination fuckery. *wipes coffee off floor*

HPV/cervical cancer awareness
Y'all know that some forms of HPV lead to cervical cancer, yes? Info here! Get screened at your next gyn visit. And make sure to do those gyn visits regularly; they can pick up all sorts of things. (Had mine in January.)

And look, shiny! On that site, you can order a cute bracelet kit. For free. And for each kit ordered, Merck will donate one dollar to Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation. Can't beat that with a stick. *nod*

KoL
New content like whoa. Feel free to spoiler me on the new Three Amigos trophy. And the new 15th-level skills.

Time, time, time...
Woke up at 9:30, explored teh intarwebs, had breakfast, used KoL turns (out of Ronin at level 8), cleaned out fridge. Yes. I have a handle on my time today. *nod*

Hi!

And to think, a vaccine to immunize against HPV exists, but OMG you'd have to give it to preteen girls and OMG it might give them the idea to have sex!

For spoiling...

Hey, 99 Red Balloons is much more expensive.
Wednesday, June 14th, 2006 06:35 pm (UTC)
You will notice my lack of that trophy as well. :)

And 99 Red Balloons has to be done all in the same Ascension. Three Amigos is cumulative over lives.

Dude. That's crazy talk.

You've got to Use Multiple on 99 balloons at once. Seriously.

I'm just wondering, between that sort of trophy and the L15 Pastamancer Screw (chow mein is now an L15 dish that can *only* be made by a chef-mage with Transcendental Noodlecraft *in the guild proper*), what the heck Jick's got up his in-game arse about money. He's supposedly still pissed off about bugmeat, but taking it out on people who've never *seen* bugmeat firsthand or weren't even around when it was a going huge problem? Meh.
Wednesday, June 14th, 2006 10:21 pm (UTC)
Yeah. I'm going to have to do up a Saucecrafter-then-Pastamancer multi to get my chows on. Yargh.

The l15 Pastamancer thing is because Jick's been pissed about the chow situation for a while, but didn't want to nerf their effectiveness, so he's nerfing their availability.

That said, I do consider the Three Amigos one to be aimed squarely at the bugmeat folks. The L15 skill not as much, as it's going to keep the meat in the kingdom (as folks will dedicate multis to just making chows and selling them).

I remain unconvinced that "encouraging multi abuse" (which is what's going to happen, with people making mults just to dump chow on their primary character) is the same thing as the oft-stated "improving player interaction," honestly, although I know it's not what you're saying here.

The chow mein barn door's been open for ages. If he didn't want that situation to happen, he should probably have thought twice a long time before now about letting singleclassed L5 characters create uberfood. ;)

Just an FYI [livejournal.com profile] knotshere is my daughter. I think she's gleaning new journals from ones I comment on...
Wednesday, June 14th, 2006 05:12 pm (UTC)
Ah! Cool.
Wednesday, June 14th, 2006 05:03 pm (UTC)
thank you :)
