Also, I can make the cards in German too, but I'll need you to rewrite them into german. I can give you the raw English text, and you'll have to manually translate it and give it back to me.
I'd use a translator, but we all know how well those work.
So fun story: I explained to my pirates professor what a creepypasta is.
You see, we were looking at records from victims of piracy, and we noted that one woman's account had a ton of plot holes in it and her descriptions of the events were over-the-top to the point where it was no longer scary, but rather comical (walking around with blood on himself and staring at her creepily), and I compared it to a creepypasta.
Anyhow, we as a class agreed she's likely full of crap, and she even started off the story with "I'm not exxagerating" while also claiming the captain walked around covered in blood while reassuring her she would not be harmed, so, yeah, totally a creepypasta.
My head-canon is that Fobar is an actual sentient Anime-figure that came to life because the mangaka drew her with a special ink, made from the blood of an elder being. She is trapped in the twodimensional dimension and tries to enter the threedimensional world.

My brain frequently exeeds expectations. Usually when people have certain expectations about how much it is capable of awkwardly derailing conversations.
Dunno. I mean, it's not uncommon to see weird people in the subway of Hamburg, but usually they look the part. Like, that one old homeless woman that runs around near central station and yells "MURDERER!" at random passengers. Y'know, that fun assemble of the mentally disturbed that every big city has to offer.
But this woman looked fairly normal. She just sat there, consumed her Slushy and giggled, as if eating this Slushy was hillarious. First I thought she had, like, a small headphone or something, but no, nothing in her ears, she just seemed extremely amused by that slushie and wouldn't stop giggling and laughing.
But, y'know, there's worse than happy people on Thursdays.
I really hope we won't be one of the last generations of mankind. I mean, I really hope this is not what all those millions of years were ultimately leading to.

I hope the first thing aliens find of humanity once it is wiped out is the memes.

Like, by just chance, every documentary we've ever made is somehow destroyed in the loss of the human race, and the first thing aliens see is this and immediately have to come to conclusions

Oh boy! I don't know that person!
Oh, no, the Modern Rogue isn't a person, it's... an ideal. An archetype. A way of life, even.
Also, it's two guys in austin who learn fighting techniques, cocktail mixing, the nuances of beer, whisky and cigars, spycraft, and some semi-illegal stuff. Also, one of the hosts (Brian Brushwood) usually damages his hand in some way.
I suppose the meme is meant to spread by replacing the pictures with other characters, like using Smeagol and Gollum, Annakin and Darth Vader without the mask, Blue from Jurassic Park and Mark Zuckerberg...

One thing's for certain; it wasn't boring. Terrifying, more like it.
Let me guess: They went over all the things that could go wrong just to scare the willies out of ya?
Or are you talking about the behind the wheel portion where they actually make you drive? You didn't get one of the mean, screamy instructors, did ya?
I can assure you, though, once you get the hang of it, driving will feel like the easiest thing in the world. I would also suggest practicing out on country roads. A lot of "city slickers" are terrified of country roads, even though they're generally easier.
.........That being said, I didn't get my license until I was 19, so don't feel bad if it takes you a while.

I was behind the wheel. My instructor was a family friend, and thankfully she was nice. I'm having another lesson on friday, and I'm rying not to think too much about it.

See, my first instructor was great, but he said I wasn't ready and so had to take it again.
Well, he got transferred to another school, and I got stuck with Mr. Yells-a-lot
....My Dad also had little patience, and has a tendency to lecture...a lot. I love him, anyway. He means well.
So there was a guy named PaulosT3 that posted on this wiki before, and I stumbled across the comment and the resulting chain from it in which we all called him out on trying to make himself look way cooler than he actually is.
I decided to google his username and came across a few wiki's that he's a part of, and one of them is a wiki in which Ed, Edd, n Eddy are all Z Fighters in the Dragon Ball Z series (with fan villains of course), and I happened to see this picture, so I had to post it.
I like how you can't see the legs of a sitting chicken. I mean, unti it stands up, there is now way of knowing wether it might have spider legs under there.

On an unrelated note, I now own 6 board games and their expansions
1. Arkham Horror
2. Fate of the Elder Gods (think Arkham Horror except you're playing as cults trying to kill one another and summon the elder god while stopping the investigators from stopping you)
3. The Others: A group of special agents fight against the seven deadly sins, the Hell Club, the four horsemen of the apocalypse, and the apocalypse itself as a monster. Characters range from humans to abominations to a sentient gorilla.
4. Bloodborne: Card game where players kill one another and monsters to collect blood echoes
5: DOOM: Teams of 1-4 fight the demons of Hell and complete objectives
6: Fallout: 1-6 players complete objectives across the wasteland with the goal of finshing everything first.
Honestly I hear the "help yourself by helpig others" thing at church all the time, so Uncle Iroh wasn't the first guy that popped into my mind. I always assumed it was common advice.
I'm not sure wether it's good advice for everyone, though. I think sometimes people need a reminder that the everyone in "Wanting to help everyone" should include oneself.
Thanks! I downloaded a steampunk theme, but it initially just had a red background, so I replaced it with that image from Victorian England (to go with the Steampunk theme) and thought it made it feel more open.
Those, my Dear Pyro, are three of the four Scam Stuff Challenge Coins, those three of which are only obtained by opening their respectable puzzle boxes (the fourth comes with the purchase of the rogue's tavern) each being more difficult open than the last (unless you have a hammer). I have beaten these challenges, and gotten my reward; the challenge coins (each worth one (1) free drink, courtesy of Brian Brushwood) and also special decks of cards (the arcana decks, both alpha and omega, from the arcana artifact ; the outlaws deck, from both the outlaws relic and outlaws vault ; and the outlaws crimson deck, from the outlaws vault). These decks can also be bought seperately from the Scam Stuff shop... but let's be honest, these are a lot cooler, amirite?

My god, I sound like an ass, don't I?
All I got out of that is that they're collectables

They're so much more... they're proof of one's status as a Modern Rogue. Also, as previously mentioned, they're a free drink from Brian Brushwood, the guy who supplies them.
He currently owes me four drinks, as I also have a Rogue's Ring , which entitles me to 'Secret Society Priveliges', which basically means he owes me a drink, or I can jump the line at his live shows. Plus, it comes with a serrated shim, which allows me to break free from handcuffs and zipties!
Spirit Halloween also did it, calling there's the "7ft Boogie Man Animatronic", but at least they put a little more effort in theirs. Here are the links:
Remember this discussion we had on wether it's easy to make a Slenderman-Rip Off for monetary gain and we were so sure that Victor Surge would know how to stop people from doing that?
I made a ghost today by typing stuff into a programming-thing, and I think it's a first-steps programming tool for kids but I'm still proud of myself, mostly for actually attending my programming course, instead of chickening out.

I just want to point out that I'm mad and it's mainly because LightSeeker2000 for whatever reason considers the Waukesha Wisconsin stabbing as "Canon" to the Slender Man mythos. It's not canon, it was a crime that had a profound effect on the mythos, and calling it canon both minimizes the impact it had and reduces it to essentially a legend at best and fairy-tale at worst.
Another ten years and there will be a movie about that specific event. Only they won't get Surges' permission to use Slendy, so they will use some substitute-demon, instead. Maybe that's the plot for The Conjuring part 20.

An animated series by the people that made Avatar. Two princes, an elf and a toad try to bring a dragon egg back to its mother to end a war between humans and elfs.
You see, the way these games are designed they don't really allow for a player to be a powerful cryptid creature with special abilities. For example, the game I just set up pits 12 characters in teams of 3 against each other for the glory of being the team that wins against evil and comes out with the most fame. Ultimately, every player has to abide by the abilities and rules the game already has.
Legend tells of a kingdom filled with the most powerful heroes. A series of potent warriors like none other, protecting a glittering kingdom of gold and their great ruler, a wise king of many years. Only such tales of bravery are told of a kingdom.
But this is not the kingdom we're looking at today. This kingdom is a kingdom filled with self-righteous morons too focused on their coin purses than to save their people.
No tales are told of the bravery of these people. They kill one another just for the glory of being the best, and their king is a fool who lost the kingdom because he left the door open. The guards at night had simply slept through the invasion of the orcs, the orcs practically walked right in. In fact, the orcs were so stunned how easy it was to capture the kingdom that they just let everyone walk out alive and took their treasure. Nobody even lifted a finger to fight back because they kept expecting someone else to do it, and indeed someone else should have done it, but the heroes of the kingdom were too busy picking their teeth on lesser dungeons filled with barely a coin to share simply to be the one hero to get it.
By the time the heroes returned battered and bruised, they saw their wimpy ruler sitting on a rock outside the gate being taunted by the goblin archers and mocked by the orcs. Of course all of their best stuff was in that kingdom, and now they have barely the clothes on their backs to invade and take down the mysterious Lord Fang who led this army.
The Crow guild blames the Tigers, the Tiger guild blames the Sharks, the Shark guild blames the Serpents, and the Serpent guild blames the Crows, each guild refusing any sort of responsibility for not being present. Eventually the king shouts to them all.
"Please, heroes, stop this bickering! Our children sit outside tonight wishing for their blankets! Our livestock are unattended and unfed! Our family heirlooms are played with by grotesque beasts! We must band together to fight! Each guild, please enter my kingdom and save it! You will gain my favor!"
The guilds decide to work together to an extent. As they enter through the front gate and a message is sent to Lord Fang of their impending arrival, each guild shifts their others to the members of the other. They all know they won't be playing nice, and one of them is going to get the most favor.
Mission 1
As the guilds enter the further parts of town undetected, they see that the guard has been mobilized in expectation of their presence. It's clear the orcs don't know where they are, but are prepared to take the interlopers on sight. The guilds look toward the huge Aviary housing many birds, and figure that they could sent word of their invasion to the king to gain favor, but it'd be best to do so a quick as possible.
At the corners of each section of this part of the city is a beast with a hammer, a potent creature terrifying and imposing. The guilds realize the creature is guarding minor treasure, but more importantly the creatures hammer could make a valuable weapon.
Each guild sets up in a nearby building and watch the patrols until the right moment. They burst forth hoping to take the quests, and the lives of the other guilds, as quick as they can.
Well, it was a tad unfocused and didn't seem to have a lot of direction, but the plot genuinely worked since it focused entirely on Ralph and Vanellope, talking about being a good friend and not holding others back for selfish reasons. I heavily expected the villain of the movie to either be the sketchy popup ad they meet, the trending algorithm woman, or the darknet guy, but the actual villain of the movie pleasantly surprised me.
Okay, so I think English Christmas songs always sound cooler, whereas the German versions sound boring. But I wonder, do non-english Christmas songs sound better to you, as English-speakers?
