    I Am Confused Edition: Sexist for calling someone "stunning"?

    The message was clearly unprofessional, and the guy should have known better. I'm not denying that it was a poor decision on his part. That said, Ms. Proudman could have easily responded that she doesn't appreciate such comments and it could have ended at that. I don't know if it's been...

    Gotta Catch 'em All: Dark Souls I & II Edition

    That's pretty much perfect, thanks! It says whether it's on a corpse or not and doesn't say exactly how to find it. Great!

    Gotta Catch 'em All: Dark Souls I & II Edition

    Hey fellow escapists! I recently started playing Dark Souls again, after a hiatus long enough to forget almost everything about it. I made it to the second bell last playthrough, before real life demanded I put it down for a time. I've started playing again, and I've been wondering...I love the...

    Relatively lighthearted fantasy book recommendations?

    That is a great series, but I wouldn't recommend it for a lighthearted read because each book in the series has one scene that feels out of place from the rest of the book because it is horrendously gruesome/graphic. It caught me by surprise when I read them the first time, and I was actually a...

    Relatively lighthearted fantasy book recommendations?

    I'd recommend The Spirit Thief (Book 1 of the Eli Monpress series) by Rachel Aaron. It's about a wizard and thief who's dream is to amass one million gold to be the most wanted man alive, so he decides to kidnap a king. Wizards in this book series basically do favors for spirits in order to...

    I don't see the appeal of music

    Honestly I prefer audiobooks to music. I have a flash drive full of audiobooks that I listen to in my car on road trips and such. Listening to The Martian while on an 11 hour drive is a lot more engaging than switching on the radio in my opinion. When I'm working out I do listen to music though...

    On Tonight's Menu: The First Salad Grown in Outer Space

    This is super cool! I bet that science lettuce is the best tasting lettuce, being that they're grown in as close to perfectly optimal conditions as possible. Next up: potatoes. Make Mark Watney proud NASA!

    Poll: How often do you shave?

    I have a sort of staggered-day beard maintenance routine. I keep a pretty closely cropped beard, and I go over it all with a trimmer once a week-usually on Sundays-just to keep it short and tidy. I also shave my cheeks clean every day, and I shave my neck and jaw under my beard clean every other...

    The Flock Is A Horror Game With An Expiration Date

    Sounds like an interesting idea, but whether or not it'll take off depends on how much they charge. I wouldn't pay $60 for a game that will not exist in a few weeks/months/whatever, but $10? That could be more reasonable.

    Why Space Porn Is Important to Science

    Everybody, I think the thing that we're all missing from this article is that Aslan's face is on the bottom right below the *ahem* protrusions. We found Space Narnia! Still, I was psyched when the potential evidence of life on Mars was revealed earlier.

    The Grand Unifying Theory of Games: Adding More Depth

    That's astounding. I think I recognized about half of the games referenced. It looks like some of it took a bit of fiddling to make it fit, but the whole storyline is coherent and does make some amount of sense. It's a neat prospect. Well done!

    Turn Your Steam Trading Cards Into Games With Steam's Holiday Auctions

    I did read the event. It's nice of the devs and pubs to be giving these away, but it's not as if the games are not available on the steam page while this is going on. I'm mostly skeptical of the auction trap as you said, where things will end up selling for far more than they are worth in the...

    Turn Your Steam Trading Cards Into Games With Steam's Holiday Auctions

    I find it a bit strange that steam is auctioning off a finite amount of digital games. Being that you don't need to manufacture physical disks or the like, there's an unlimited number that can be produced and distributed. Why are people trying to outbid each other on something that cannot...

    What is the shortest time you've spent at a job before quitting.

    One day. I was 16 at the time, I was working the dinner shift at a Mongolian Barbecue restaurant as a busser. The manager kept me until midnight, even though the labor law said that students can only work until 10 at the latest. I called the next day and quit, because if he was breaking the law...
