  • Ruth. I'm proud of her.

    Tonight a stand-up comedian asked my publicity-shy partner which of the men she was sitting with was her partner, and she said "Both." I am so proud.

    ...

    The second really did just walk into it when he asked Ruth β€œSo which of these two men are you with? Or is it both?” β€œYes, both,” she replied, and, in the period of silence while the comedian was still trying to comprehend what she’d said, added, β€œWe’re polyamorous.”

    I was so very proud of her in …

  • In Europe? Here's the trick I used when Civ 5 was first released to get it a few days early... it'll probably work for Gods & Kings, too.



    I've just tried this and it works; thought I'd share my results with you so that any fellow Europeans can give it a go too.

  • Oxford [UK], I am disappoint.




    Last year, I saw at least one other person, proudly wearing their towel. This year? Nothing. I even made sure to take a walk out in the glorious sunshine on my lunch break, and didn't find even a single other towel-wearer. What is the world coming to, when you can't even rely on a …

    I've got chests full of diamonds and a huge fortress of solitude in my singleplayer world. I've found the End Portal and I've got enough eyes to activate it. But why bother? Alone, I don't stand a chance against the Ender Dragon anyway: I'm just not that good a player. And it doesn't matter …
