Starward Rogue Update 1.016: The Ricochet Sequel

[x4000]

I've seen it twice.

Lightweight!

Man I've seen that thing like 8ish times over the years, at least.  It's one of my dad's favorite movies as well (he's a classic Trek fan, but also into actual hard sci fi).

[Draco18s]

I tend not to watch movies more than once!
The only movie I can think of that I've seen more than four times is Shawshank Redemption.

[x4000]

I used to watch movies more than once a lot more than I do now.  And with ones I really like I will sometimes watch them every few years.

[Draco18s]

Woo, that was a trip.  I misremembered some details, but the movie's got some great lines.

[x4000]

I know, right?

Now I come back, and I think we've actually achieved anti-sense here. Patch, to Galaxy Quest.  Okay.  Not even going to try to ponder what's going on now.  Here is Maru the cat jumping into a box instead:



There, I have made my amazingly useful contribution to the cause.

I don't know why your surprised don't you remember the thread that went from a patch(I think?) to talking about robot dinosaurs? when people have finished talking about a patch the norm is to then derail into something completely different

Well you see, it's my job to be confused, lost, and then post cat-related things in response.

Someone has to do it.  I can shoulder that burden.

The other response I could have, is being confused, lost, and then making the game more murderous in response; this seems logical to me.  However, people probably would prefer I do... basically anything else, so cats it is.

The natural conclusion is to add more cats to the game in a way that murders the player.

Player: "Wow, I'm doing so well this run, if I can just pick up a few m-"

Cat: "Oh, look, shiny toy spinning around, must pounce incessantly!"

I had something in my eye for a second there, and for whatever reason read that as "(Screen disappears in ball of fur and space tentacles)"

I thought: "Huh.  That's a little unusual for Keith."

[keith.lamothe]

Yea, that probably wouldn't happen until the Cthulhu-themed expansion.

may I ask why exactly misery/ptarth/cinth all have their names in red now in the who's online semi stalking device not that I really care all that much it just seems a little bit random really?.

[x4000]

They're admins.

The bots were getting more than a bit aggressive yesterday, you see.  There was one that was rampaging around for awhile, sticking pic-filled posts into random topics; I kept popping the stupid things but a mere moderator cant actually delete the bot accounts, because forum-design logic.

So Chris basically went "Ah, why the hell not, you're an admin now.  And you other guys too, come join the party!".

And those bots are SCREWED.   This is satisfying.  Did I mention I really hate bots?  Bloody stupid things.

But yeah, when the bots are going overboard like that, it's time to do something about it.  NORMALLY the bots we get here just make ONE topic, and then leave, so that's easy to just remove the topic, but... not that one.  It reminded me of the type of bot I see over at an autism-related forum, where we'll get these ones that show up, and DROWN the entire forum in pages upon pages of entire topics all at once.  Like, 5 freaking pages of gibberish topics.  It's ridiculous! 

I hate bots.  Just thought I'd reiterate that.

[keith.lamothe]

Probably the Bionic Dues bots got bored, and deployed a new SpamBot. Took them a while to find a part of the internet where the result stood out from the background.

Don't worry, we have rather explicit instructions to not delete crazyroosterman

Pepi is also an admin.  The anti-spambot brigade.
