Good, 'cause we already got the hate covered.

You know you're setting this up for a Peking goose pun, right? But I'm gonna be a gentleman make a joke only you and, er, Duck will get. (

Malf: that story is the best story, with the kind of rigorous attention to scientific detail and illustration that warrants it a special honour in the annals of goose-related incident.

The version she published in her book is even funnier. Few things have me laughing out loud in public, but I found myself crying with laughter and stifling genuine guffaws when I read it on the train. Unfotunately, I don't think the book version is reproduced anywhere online. Still, the book itself is fab and highly worth picking up.

Well ok you (Sulph) were young, but a bit older and that would only be the best experience ever. Geese are funny when they're irate, although admittedly pretty vicious... Kids these days have probably all seen the YT videos of angry geese and know what to do, lucky bastards. Sorry you had to go through that then and not a bit later when I think the odds might have been a bit more in your favour.
I'm a complete sucker for farm animals and only have warm and fuzzy experiences. Once I sunk my fingers into the wool of a sheep and went into total squee shock for like 5 minutes straight. The worst I ever went through, ok, well two things, one was the horse that went missing for a few days, so we trekked out into the fields to find him, only to find him mostly eaten down to the bone by the dogs with the ribs exposed, and one particularly happy doxen chowing down on them and swinging around to greet us with his tail wagging a hurricane. On the one hand, poor horse -- I should have felt sad -- but in my life I've never seen a happier dog, and he kind of took the bite off, so to speak.
The other thing was accidentally letting the cow out of the gate and spending the rest of the afternoon trying to get that cow back through that person-sized gate. The thing about cows is they only really know how to walk away from the crazy guy hooting and hollering at it, which makes it hard to get it to walk it through a gate. My dad rode his riding lawn mower so we could try to triangulate him. I don't know why I found the whole thing very funny. The harder it got the more I laughed.
As for geese, the happiest day in my life was a summer afternoon in 2003 in Geneva when I realized I was in deeply in love with the love of my life, and I very much remember the geese bobbing their tails up in the air with their heads underwater and their feet ghost cycling in the air, which was also a very funny thing to see on a day like that. I only get warm fuzzies by them now. <3
Edit: Wait, those might have been swans. Ok, so I can just say of geese that they get second-hand warm fuzzies by association then.

Those sound like good memories, dema. Even the dead horse one. I have similar ones, but nature was either a passive agent or an antagonist that ended up creating bonds neither of us expected, so even in the midst of this recollecting my fury roars in the background, unabated.

RE: Diablo Immortal.
Blizzard insiders reached out to Jeremy Hambly.

Subsequently he interviewed vanilla WoW lead designer Mark Kern.

IRONY OVERLOAD

What's your point? The topic of some Chinese market mobile scam game is boring. The conversations around the game are what's interesting IMO.
Malf on 21/11/2018 at 15:35
This thread and its content are very much poking fun at the type of post you just made.
That you don't get that and still posted bile in it is ironic.

No, Malf! You're gonna send him running back to my HYPE THREAD! >:|
EvaUnit, this is definitely the right thread for this!
Pyrian on 21/11/2018 at 16:43
I'm not sure there's any right thread for posting a video about Blizzard pay rates and labeling it as having to do with Diablo Immortal.
