Origami. About 3 years ago I did this really obsessively and I just kinda decided I wanna get back into it now. Dusted off the cobwebs, gonna spend a couple of weeks practicing, and then I think, this time, I'll try designing some models of my own.

PUN ALERT

I got this for myself for my birthday. I... I think I might be a Falkoholic.

I'm still good for monday!

Awesome. And congrats on getting your own panel at SDCC!

Had to come up with the rules for a Kiss Kiss Bang Bang drinkalong. So I got kinda cute with it.

In the 1st, Hitler doesn't choose to not be a bad person, he just does something different to what he would've otherwise done, and as a result never has to confront the terrible thing inside him. In the 2nd, he comes face to face with a value system that he might not have seen otherwise, and he gets the opportunity to change for real.

So the 2nd one is far more thoughtful!

It made my best friend cry as an adult man. To this day, if someone knowingly teases him with the line "that'll do pig, that'll do", you can guarantee his response will be something along the lines of "Oi! Don't start with that. Fuck off!".

edit: oops. this is, like, the 3rd time this week I thought that Pig in The City was the subtitle of the original Babe movie.

Holy jesus. This is the first I've heard/seen of Fefi.

She/he is huuuuuuuuge. Holy crap.

Warning - this is super-geeky:

I wrote a little function that simulates an extended perception test (with 10 dice), because I remember we were all surprised that I was getting totals of 20 or higher for these tests. So I was curious to find out what the average expectation is (Teague, that's a null model! ), and also compared that to the best-case-scenario.
(I also did this for shits'n'giggles).

Extended perception test
Roll n dice. If there's at least one hit (a 5 or a 6),  n becomes n-1, and roll again. If at any step, it doesn't roll at least one hit, the test ends. The whole time, it keeps track of the total number of hits.
Best-case-scenario/simultaneous rolls
Best case scenario is a hit at every step. So (10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1) is just rolling 55 dice simultaneously.
Here's the expectation of 100,000 tests:

SPOILER Show

Makes sense. Best-case always rolls the maximum number of dice, but on an e.p. test, there's a chance you end up rolling less than 55, thus your distribution of hits is lower, and skewed to the left, with a peak at zero (where you don't get any hits on the first roll).
Turns out the average expectation for an e.p. test (starting with 10 dice) is 15.82496 hits. And the chances of getting at least 20 hits is about 26%, so it's not that weird. (However, the fact that it happened 3 times is unexpected, because there's only a 1.8% chance of that. Huh.)

It was indeed a good film.

Now I wanna go try it in 3D (i know it's 30% less bright or whatever, but still).

Well, he would know. Thanks for the heads-up!

So, on Harmontown (hmm, take a drink every time I mention that), when they do Dungeons & Dragons (though for the past few dozen episodes, they've been playing Shadowrun!), they often have guests. And the DM just kinda, on the fly, lets the guests be whatever NPC the main group are talking to or fighting.

Obviously, this should be completely up to SD, since it'll create more work for him (though, in some cases, it might make his job easier), but, hypothetically:

SD probably knows (unless we go off on a complete tangent) one or two NPCs we're likely to be talking to / fighting in a session. And he also knows their attributes (at least as far as goon/medium/high level) and weapons. And since we're streaming these live anyway, wouldn't it be kinda neat for SD to say "okay, you walk into this room, and there's this person", and then he puts a simple character sheet on the google hangouts/drive/whatever, that someone in the chatroom could just pick up and join in? Or if it's a more talky / less fighty character (like our bizarre 3-way commlink chat with Michael last sesh), just send them a message saying "ok. here's who you are. here's what you want. here's what you have. this is your motivation. GO" and see what happens?

Just spitballin'. But maybe?
