  1. Jake's Portrait in Danger Sort Of

    What bullshit.
  2. New people: Read this, say hi.

    I think you're the third, unless the other poster I'm remembering is a BLIS.

    I figured it would happen sooner or later; it was a surprise that it took a whole year before it did.

    More MLIS' for the forum! Daaaaaamn!

    Clyde - the guy was pushing 45.

    OK, here's what happened. It was not physical sexual harrassment, but it was inappropriate, it was sexual, and it creeped me out. A little background: I am fat. Last night I was even wearing a necklace that said "FAT," because fuck the haters who would try to use something like that against me. I was at one of the RSA kickoff parties hosted by a vendor. It was at the St. Regis, on the roof. There was a lot of booze around. I wasn't drinking, because I needed to drive home. We - I, my boss, and a colleague - were standing near one of the bars. I had my back to the bar. I turned around to step away from the conversation and 'circulate,' as one does at these parties. There was a very drunk guy wearing a WebSense polo making his way away from the bar. He almost bumped into me, then, staring directly at my chest, said something sexual about my size or the size of my breasts. I couldn't make out exactly what he said - or, if I could make it out, I instantly forgot it as a defense mechanism. I've asked my colleagues if they could make out what he said, but they couldn't, either. Based on what I heard and what I can remember, it was one of those "more of you to play with" comments. Where play means something sexual, because it always does. His tone was clearly creepy/sleazy, and my colleagues corroborate this. I immediately steped back and turned away. I did not make a fuss, though in retrospect I wish I had at least asked him to repeat what he said so I could be properly offended. My reaction was instinctual ("escape this weird situation") rather than reasoned ("confront this sleazebag"). Because he was very drunk, because none of us could make out/remember what he said, and because I didn't confront him at the time, I am not willing to take it public any further than bitching about it on this message board. That sucks, because I've previously been vocal about how these things need to be public in order to provide evidence that This Is A Problem. I may, if I see this WebSense guy on the Expo floor, ask him what he remembers from the party with a view to telling him he did something that was Not Okay and getting an apology from him. It is just as likely that I will instead Not Make A Fuss. I thought the one benefit to being fat was that I wouldn't get any unasked-for sexual comments (instead exchanging those for comments about my "health" that are just code for "lol fatty").

    Today I unlocked an acheivement! So, uh, yay?
  8. Nick already made that with his trees mod for Skyrim.

    You experienced shock. It happens!

    Personally I figure if someone really needs me to see something, they'll PM me or otherwise direct it to me in a manner I'm guaranteed to see.
  11. Or you could be a proper nerd and set up a bouncer.
  12. I definitely never intended for the anniversary gifts to have anything to do with the Kickstarter. I'd be happy to help out as a Project Manger if the Thumbs felt the need/desire, but I doubt that's a thing that would happen. Just in case, y'all know where I am.
  13. I Had A Random Thought...

    "accidentally"
  14. Amateur Game Making Night

    Saturday Night Fever starring Dr. Wiley?
  15. That seems like a cool idea!

    ^^^ That sucks, tegan. How are you holding up? Gave Cabot his first chemotherapy dose, and his anti-nausea medication. Here's hoping.

    Sorry to hear that, man.
  18. I approve of this channel because Twig gave me ops.
  19. I don't think you should dilute your brand by allowing them to use the same name and logo and etc.
  20. I think that would be amazing.
