Dagger in the back
Remember the Ides of March
Thus do tyrants fall

The most beloved goddess of the ancient pantheons in the modern world is Frigg...for whom Friday is named. Happy Friday, everyone!

There's smoke in the bottle
There's smoke in the glass
Water and whiskey
Sip and relax

Ok, so there aren't a lot of strong feelings about this either way, is what I'm gathering. Thanks, huge help! :)

So my cat, who's 16, had to have dental surgery yesterday. They sent her home with recovery food. I fed her two cans, which she wolf down, before I realized each can was 4 days worth of calories. She is unrepentant.

How do you prefer for story to depict a character's inner monologue?

When you're playing a game, do you prefer attributes to use familiar terms even if they are very tired throughout the industry, or new terms that fit the theme and setting better but may not immediately convey their meaning to seasoned players?

Gave into the hype and gave Hero's Hour a shot. It definitely has Might & Magic vibes but I'm not sure it lives up to its potential. Certainly worth the $20 I paid, though. I think I'd be happier with it if there was an online battle mode.

Winter has returned
Vibrant green reduced to brown
Cold snap claims the blooms

Sun has set
Moon shines bright
Peeling darkness
Off of night
Starlight filters
Through the trees
Crickets chirping
Fills the breeze

The Minstrel-Boy to the war is gone,
In the ranks of death you'll find him;
His father's sword he has girded on,
And his wild harp slung behind him.
"Land of song!" said the warrior-bard,
"Tho' all the world betrays thee,
One sword, at least, thy rights shall guard,
One faithful harp shall praise thee!"
(By Thomas Moore, circa 1813)

Around our ears
I turned up the radio
But I can't hear it"

Every so often,
Perhaps once a day,
My body takes leave of my mind.
With a cap on its head,
And a jacket in hand,
It wanders the sidewalks outside.
Though the brain must go with it,
The mind opts to stay
Immersed in a whirlwind of thought
And body and mind,
Both whole and apart,
Separately find what they sought.

I've only been here for a couple days and I love this place. Every time I discover an awesome new hashtag like #cosoastronomy my smile grows wider.

Softly, gently, humbly, kind
Sting me, praise me, soothe me
Tersely, curtly, top of mind
Speak the words that move me
Tell me riddles, folklore, tales
Strings of words together
Make me laugh or clench my nails
Stories make life better.

Yeah...this is shaping up to be about where I feared unfortunately. I'll have to see about fixing it.

Baby did not sleep
Eyes unfocused, glowing screen
Coffee brings me life

I probably should have added an option for "I wouldn't use it unless I'm about to die" because I think that's the most likely scenario once it's discovered. It's really hard not to do the exploit if you just got crit...

Say you've found an exploit in a game app that lets you re-roll combat round results when the RNG doesn't go your way. How would this affect the rest of your playthrough?

(This will help me decide how important fixing the exploit is.)

Question: what's the biggest deal-breaker when you're reading a novel (or contemplating reading it)? Imagine you read the back cover or the first couple pages...what would make you immediately lose interest? #cosowriters #amwriting
