did you try turning it off and on again.
Recent community posts
Ya sorry for whining, and for doing it in this thread. It wasn't as much as a difficulty problem as it was annoying. Thanks for being a good dev, mr.gooddev.
To clarify what I said before I launched this game months ago around when it first launched and had the same problem. If you need information screenshots of files or really anything I'll try and help.
This just makes the game even worse. Don't mean to be rude but the game just doesn't like me. I click and it's ques the command instead of stopping what you're doing and doing that. And if you do a task and a shark attacks it's not worth it to attack the shark because by the time you get done with the task and begin attacking the shark the raft breaks. And if you only have one person left they drown. Seaguls and sharks should only attack at night or something. Or have the person be able to save themselves. sorry for replying here I just saw the changelog and got autistic. Had like 6 sharks and one dude. Was trying to plant 4 trees and chop one down while starving and as soon as I started chopping a shark would attack, then I'd go hit the shark and while that's happening the seagulls would get my food. Repeat proccess now i'm desperately trying to fish while the seagulls eat the fish i'm trying to cook while sharks take all the rafting with trees on it. It's impossible to get a row of trees and stock food and have a stock of wood or fruit. Damn seaguls attack immediately after chopping a tree. And the sharks know this and they work together the stupid bastards.
When first launched nothing happened. The icon for the game apeared on my taskbar but it never loaded. After reopening It worked and after maxing out the graphics and checking controls I click new run. I click new character and It showed a warrior next to a fire. I then clicked to see the archer. I then click the arrow again but the game stopped. Now error message, no 'not responding'. It just greyed out the arrow and froze on the archer and all the animations stopped.
I then exited the game again and launched it. This time after clicking new run there was no campfire no nothing It showed new character and that was it. I could cycle between warrior, archer, and rogue now. But it didn't show a character. I typed in a name and clicked play but nothing happened it just deleted the name and nothing happened.
I again exited the game but this time I did not try again.
After a long time of playing I have automated everything. Have someone to dig, plant, chop, and two people to pick up the seeds and wood. I have someone to rechargert them for when they unwind. I have a miner and someone that picks up all the iron and stone. I have someone making charcoal and storing it. I have someone making iron ingots and storing those. I have someone collecting water and storing that.I have a few robots that make sure my storages are full of planks/poles by sawing a log or plank and then storing them.I even have a robot that recharges my recharger robot. I've made every building and every item. I've clothed my little dudes. I even have robots that farm and feed the little dudes in their brick shacks. All in all I think I did pretty well.
Also I might add a little exploit:
You can for example go on the other side of the map, chop down a bunch of trees, build a storage, fill it, and you can then move the storage all the way back to your base. This exploit also works if you're building your farm far away from your trees and base or If you want to move iron to a bench quicker.
All in all a very fun game and I can't wait to see more, very happy with the updates and I imagine i'm going to love the research mechanic.
When I launch the game It apears in a window, my screen is 1920x1080p. It opens the menu, it's in really bad quality and is still windowed. I click normal and go into the game. As it's loading it switches over to fullscreen at 1920x1080p. Graphics are Epic and looking good. Now the problem is the game still thinks i'm in windowed. I can't click on the outer edges of the screen. The game doesn't keep my mouse in the center either while looking. So If I try and click the ground it will click off screen. I tried messing with the resolution and switching back and forth between windowed but nothing works.
And everytime I changed the qaulity while in windowed it would shrink the screen more and off sync where my mouse was to where it was showing me where I was. Everytime I changed res it make a larger black border on the bottom and right side. It also put the window in the top left of the screen.
I don't know the cause of this but when the game first launched I downloaded the game and the same thing happened which made the game unplayable. It is still unplayable.
To summarize (wierd res switching while in windowed makes a black border that gets bigger every time you switch) and (mouse tracking and clicking off screen while in full).
Also might note that while in windowed it didn't keep my mouse center with the reticle it made it go along the edge of the border. BUT it didn't go off screen onto my desktop.
If you need more information or specs please ask.
Man this game just got funner the more I messed around. Did a few hours of studying dog fighting and missle avoidance and how and when to best fire missles and even memorized angels and rolls I would need to do depending on how far the missle was away and what angle it's coming from.
Gets super fun once you start messing around with thrust (shift and ctrl) and the flaps (q and e).
I't would be nice tho if on the map you got an origin for incomming missles and a line in red where it's been and a white line for where it plans to go to best be able to time it.
And for when it's coming get a distance or countdown. I do like the yellow and red hit indicator to know where it is tho. Makes dodging a bit easier. Took me forever to figure out how to not rely on flares. But after only an hour of playing I'm still not 100% good at evading.
Also I find that the Multi-lock missle is pretty useless for what it does and that amount you can carry. Just best to go with 2 standard and 1 long-range. Then again the long range doesn't have a bunch of missles either...
I tried one run where I stayed with my co-pilot but I died very easily. I find charging the head on when they spawn and firing some long-range missles then switching to standard and going 1200 mph under them is the best way to do it. Then just ctrl and turn around and start taking them from behind. But then you just get into a loop in which case going faster than 400 makes you're turning too slow and if you go below 300 you stall so it's a balance between lining them up to fire the bullets or shells from really close up, think 200 ft?
These speeds and distances might be off this is mainly off of 1 hour of playing and memory. And I'm sure to anyone that knows what they're doing this sounds ridiculous but it worked for me.
Think I read the best way to attack someone is from the side at an elavaded angle to the missle doesn't run out of fuel and can coast down more, so my head-on missles and guns thing is probably a good way to die in real life.
'we push and pull like a magnet do' wouldn't be correct. It would be 'does'. Also I think, 'we push and pull like magnets do' would be better or 'we push and pull like a magnet' or 'we push and pull like a magnet does'.
Weird 'issue' The people just kept pilling up faster than I could spam spacebar and click. I had like 100 people lined up just glitching out.
I let Emila the witch thru like 10 times and 20 doctors and 5 masons and rejected 20 sick people along with all those fake girlfriends.
I don't know why they just kept pilling up. I got the archer day 1, moat day 2, and maxed out the archers by day 4. Put at least 1 'town' payment a day. After maxing everything I just saved up for 150 and put it all into the town in one night. But I kept getting 'open up the rusty gate, economy is fine' speech from the one guy.
Btw who ever wrote the lines, I actually laughed pretty hard when the cart guy went on about everything being normal.
It's a good game, could use sound obviously, I only put in 30 minutes so I suppose theres probably more I didn't get to see, maybe the archers and moat come in handy? Maybe I get werewolfed and need the cure.. Maybe if I let the king fake girlfriend in I get someting? I don't know could be it's just not added in...
EDIT: just noticed after reading other comments this is a game jam. Wow, great job doing all this in so little time. Can't wait to check out what you guys can do when given more time.
He replied like 2 days after you asked that. You're the one replying late XD
Ya wish the would give us one more update. Oh well, guess we'll have to wait for the steam version.
As is not much to do, I got bored and build a super long staircase that was out of render twice, you could stand in the middle and not see the ocean or either end. Took a long time had to put supports under everything. Kind of pointless really. Sky turns black once you go up so high.
Love trail and error and finding things out with no handicaps.
Took me awhile to figure out I had to manualy harvest food.
This is a really great game was sad to find there was no real end in terms of accomplishment. Maybe after making the boat the game switches to building up the boat and making it better and defending against pirates and meteors then you go to another plannet and you start out with ALOT more land but fewer resources and more pirates. Maybe then storms could start with fire. have some plagues or rats ruin food stocks or have to repair buildings or something. Maybe a lighthouse building that searches for land faster causing it to apear faster.
In latest version. All my chests are empty and all my water/cooking stations as well as planters and such. Everything is empty. What the heck. It's worse now than the last version.. Before it was just missing potatos and coconuts. Now i'm missing 7 chests of materials.
After building everything and getting the depressing 'congratulations' on the anchor and cleaning out the entire jungle below. And dying on day 10 with 3 farms and all weapons and buildings built and unlocked.
I can honestly say It's a fun game.
Need more defense. mines and bear traps aren't enough to defend against so many enemies. Need to be able to get more people Hard to control 4 people tho so don't know how that would work unless you could freeze time to look around then qeu abilities and actions.
Also when the island moves hows the lever on the jungles ground going to move? and how does that lever move the pulley. wheres it connected... Black magic?
Few more things:
When you have the backpack equiped then you fill it up, if you switch the backpack out for something else it deletes all the extra resources you had. Not really a bug. But maybe don't let the player waste resources somehow, don't let them swap the pack out or make them empty inventory first or something.
Can't use abilities while moving. Doing so sometimes causes them to bug out and run in place and not move.
I also suggest making it so when you use an ability it just activates you don't have to place it down. Takes too long and by the time I place an ability or two the fight is over.
Weird bug/glitch. I think it might of been caused by placing the loadout area over the edge of the island. It broke my camera. my screen is now turned at a wrong angle and I can't fix it. When I try to move the screen it moves in the wrong direction so now w goes left. Even scrolling on the screen goes the wrong way.
Weird screen rotation glitch.
Allow access of chests under staircases.
Enable fall damage.
Reinforced foundation (more health, made with scrap).
I like the island idea and the idea that at night a tide comes in and covers the whole island causing you to have to swim back to a boat or drown.
Potato's and everything else were fine. I have like 20 chests and everything else is fine.
Tree planter, seeds, and cocunuts disapeared for me. As well as all the items in my nets.

Bench IR, originally uploaded by RJIPhotography.
A while back, I converted an old Canon 20D to an infrared only camera. It was done by Lifepixel. I love the fact that I don't need long exposures and I can handhold and compose my shots just like a normal slr.
Infrared opens up a whole new realm in photography. The usual white trees with black skies are the norm. In this image, it was the shadow in the green ( white)grass that caught my attention and I wondered how it would look with infrared. It almost looks like this was taken at night but it was around 5pm.

'Angel Millar speaking dates'
Angel Millar will be on the road this month. From the publicity:
I will be giving a couple of talks over the next couple of weekends. I believe both events are restricted to Freemasons only, but if you are a member, and you're in the area, and interested to come along, it would be great to meet you.
The first of the two talks will be in Keyport, New Jersey, on Saturday, June 17. There, the Scottish Rite Knights of St. Andrew will be holding their statewide gathering. The subject of my talk will be "Freemasonry: Meeting the Challenges of the 21st Century."
The following week, on Saturday, June 24, I will be speaking at the "300: Freemasonry's Legacy, Freemasonry's Future" event, hosted by The Masonic Roundtable podcast. The event will be held at the George Washington Masonic National Memorial in Alexandria, Virginia. I will be talking about "Terrorism and Anti-Masonry" — and looking at some possibilities to overcome this, as well.
Other talks on the 24th will include "A Brief History of the UGLE" by Mike Hambrecht, "A Craftsman's Journey" by Steven L. Harrison, and "Freemasonry's Future" by Juan Sepúlveda. There will also be discussion group sessions and refreshments, among other things.
Personally, I'm looking forward to the events, especially meeting new friends, seeing some familiar faces, and getting to see a little of America that I may not have seen before, or, at least, much of before.

Allison Nicolelli Dicicco
The word passion is synonymous with Allison Nicolelli Dicicco. A current high school teacher with 26 years of experience in the public-school system, Allison has dedicated her career to her students.
Often viewed as a mother figure to her 'kids', she has undeniably gained their trust. Her students have been confronted with various situations during her 26 years of teaching, both in urban and non-urban educational environments. These include bullying, peer pressure, drugs, family dynamics, hunger, crime, personal hardships and more.
The message she shares with her students is one of confidence. The tools these students need already exist within them but the path to discovery is often difficult to find. She witnesses her 'kids' seeking comfort and answers from external resources, often leading them towards the wrong path. Whether it is friends or clothing labels, she helps redirect her students to discover self-assurance from within.
Allison often relates back to a quote from one of her favorite movies, The Wizard of Oz. When Dorothy is disappointed that the Wizard is not who she envisioned, Glenda the Good Witch tells her, "You don't need to be helped any longer, you've always had the power to go home to Kansas". It is then that Dorothy clicks those famous red sparkly shoes and finds her way home.
Allison has concerns about the children of today due to the current culture of our country. Through her worldwide travels and exposure to other cultures, she has realized the lack of self-awareness, balance and connectivity both children, and adults exhibit today. Everyone is busy, trying to earn a living, build a career, have a family and stay sane in this challenging world. Technology has created a fake sense of self, painting a picture of perfectionism that does not exist.
From the time Allison was pregnant, which did not come without challenges, she craved guidance and was not able to find it. When her first child entered pre-school, the leadership was once again lacking.
Allison knows it takes a village and Allison has created villages for her students as well as herself. As the mother of two children, she understands the struggles parents face. She is extremely excited to help build villages for other parents and children through Parent U UP, by Mommy Masters®.

Chester's mom wrote that he is a 9-year-old corgi/pom whom they rescued from ACC in May. She said that he's a fabulous dog, but can't be left alone. He has what she was told are all the symptoms of separation anxiety: he'll bark, bite his paws, make himself sick/go to the bathroom and then eat it, he'll scratch the doors, etc.
They tried a bunch of things that they read online, but it wasn't getting better, so she turned to The Pooch Coach.
Now Chester's been put on a new exercise and training regimen along with exercises The Pooch Coach assigns specifically for separation anxiety. They are also working on his shyness with new people. Building his self-reliance and getting him over his fears are a large part of him being more relaxed & confident in all situations.

The Characters (in the Quest Motif) THE HERO — ROMANTIC, IRONIC, TRAGIC
In stories of "the quest," heroes are on the brink of a great change. Some heroes are desperately unhappy and experience their lives as a stultifying world, one that, in its very orderliness and familiarity, comes to seem sterile and confining: a kind of wasteland. In either case, the environment or something in it keeps the hero from changing, from growing—in short, from living. All heroes must recognize their worlds for what they are; must realize the need for change; must have the courage to try. It is possible for heroes to blunder into the quest, to make come sort of mistake and find themselves quite suddenly embarked on a difficult journey. Generally, though, something or someone calls the hero to this adventure. The summons can come from any source: a friend, a relative, a stranger, an alluring object, or an impulse within the heroes themselves. If the protagonist possesses the necessary courage and resolve, she or he is off on the quest, however fearful or arduous it may seem. Narrative romance is the oldest, simplest, most predictable and inevitably hopeful story pattern. Yet the reader questions throughout. There seems to be doubt though there is none at the end. Romance expresses the human need to fulfill wishes and to dream. Romance causes the reader to yearn for a simple moral world and the romantic ideals of the "quest"—beauty, wealth, power, wisdom. Romance offers the reader a world with a place for and meaning in a "higher order" where the world is orderly and unified in the hands of an imminent being. Romance presents a spiritually progressive, purposeful quest.
The Romantic Hero
The romantic hero is the basis from which all other "hero types" evolve. The romantic hero is usually male, though some scattering of female heroes does occur. Quite often the hero comes to the world through some sort of "divine" or "magical" birth, though this difference from his fellows is often not evident until "the call" is heard and "the journey" undertaken. His human action reflects man's most hopeful conception of life. He is in service to an ideal through which he can find enduring meaning outside the constraints of the plausible world. His quest is progressive and culminates in success. The romantic hero's destiny has supernatural origin. His action grows from the eternal power that reflects man's most hopeful conception of life. In the full story of the quest, the hero dies–either physically or metaphorically–and takes on features of a god finally unified with the mysterious. He has total human freedom, infinite possibilities for significant action, limitless power. He realizes his dreams and desires and transcends his suffering resulting in a destiny that transforms him to something more than he was.
The Ironic Hero
Irony depends on romance. The reader recognizes the pattern inherent to romance and irony preys on these. The ironic hero begins as the romantic hero. Then, since irony is a negation, a twisting of romance, something or someone thwarts the hero through a mode of contrasts, paradoxes, inversion and subtleties. One set of assumptions is established, then ironic twists undercut these to produce an ironic outcome and therefore an ironic hero. Irony depicts the tension, ambiguity, inhuman or non-human nature of life where human concepts of "fairness" and "orderliness" are irrelevant. The negation or twisting is random and unpredictable, not caused by the character of the hero, but perhaps in spite of him. Often the romantic hero becomes the ironic hero through his incompleteness. In the beginning, when the hero operates as romantic, he seems as perfect, as having the capability to overcome his flaws, as bigger than life. However, as irony twists and turns the narrative, we can see his downfall coming.
The Tragic Hero
The true tragic hero is neither all good nor all bad. He is a mixture. A hero with a balance of good and bad will invoke pity or terror. The tragic effect will be stronger if the hero is better than the rest of us, of higher moral character or of higher position. This hero suffers a fall from grace or wealth or position because of a mistake. He makes this mistake, or even a series of mistakes, because of his tragic flaw—some trait that he feels is positive but in fact causes his poor choice. The tragic hero invokes pity because, since he is not evil, his fate is worse than he deserves. He also invokes fear because we can recognize similarities in ourselves and therefore see our own possibilities for disaster. And the tragic hero invokes admiration in defeat. We feel awed for his endurance rather than depressed in his defeat. We can predict his downfall because we can see his flaw.

No, this isn't because David Morgan-Mar always comments whenever I post about one of his strips.
I've talked before about Darths and Droids, and on both those occasions I mentioned that I found it a superior strip to the one that inspired it, DM of the Rings. But I don't think I've done the distinction between the two justice.
You know how sometimes, a company will come along and become the pioneer in some new field, and possibly popularize it to the general public, but a second company will become more famous, expose the true potential of the field, and become virtually synonymous with that field? It's similar to how I described Irregular Webcomic! as a pioneer but not the definitive multi-webcomic. Atari virtually invented the video game console as we know it today, but self-destructed along with the rest of the video game market in the 80s, allowing Nintendo to define video games for my generation. Netscape brought the Internet to the masses but everyone uses Internet Explorer now. Lycos and Yahoo made search engines popular with the general public but only Google managed to turn itself into a verb. Bob and George didn't invent the sprite comic, but did inspire most of the others, including 8-Bit Theater, which truly transcended its origins to create a strong comic in its own right (it is no insult to call 8BT a poor man's Order of the Stick). And so on.
Well, DM of the Rings is the Atari to Darths and Droids' Nintendo, which is odd because it means Darths and Droids is in the opposite role as Irregular Webcomic! DM of the Rings asked, "Wouldn't it be cool if Lord of the Rings were an RPG campaign?" That was really the extent of what it was trying to do. Not only is the DM a railroader, but as much as I hate to say this, the characters make Ctrl+Alt+Del's characterization seem deep. Through the first 70 strips I think we know the names of two of the players, and one of them, Dave, plays Frodo and leaves less than midway through the whole strip's run. But even all of that pales in comparison to DMotR's real problem:
DM of the Rings was a comic about a role-playing game.
Darths and Droids is a comic about Star Wars.
The funny thing is, it's also still about a role-playing game, which is the beauty of it. The conceit of DM of the Rings was that Lord of the Rings still existed in that universe, it's just that, somehow, the DM was the only one in the group to have heard of it. Darths and Droids literally is Star Wars as played by a group of role-players. Whereas DMotR used the Lord of the Rings plot as a backdrop for wacky hijinks and commentary on Things You Experience When Playing Role-Playing Games, Darths and Droids appropriates the Star Wars plot as its own, while also containing its own metaplot involving the gamers playing the characters. Just look at how often the DM of the former is interrupted or talked over by the players, with the result that we don't get to know Gandalf anywhere near enough to know why the players hate him so. If the LOTR trappings were removed from DM of the Rings, it wouldn't be much different, which suggests the LOTR setting is little more than a gimmick. It'd be hard to imagine Darths and Droids without the Star Wars trappings.
As DM of the Rings became popular, and flaring up again closer to the end, people flooded Shamus Young's inbox with calls for him to skewer other popular movie or book franchises. As it was winding down, Young wondered why, with how popular DMotR was, no one else had decided to marry movies and RPGs in a biting satire. One of his fans suggested that the reason why was that it was rare for the kind of person who wanted to spoof popular culture to coincide with the kind of person willing to put in massive amounts of effort into creating a webcomic.
That discussion prompted Morgan-Mar to create Darths and Droids, and now that we've seen it, I can't help but wonder if the real reason was twofold. First, because DMotR was more about role-playing games than about Lord of the Rings per se, there wasn't much left to skewer; DMotR had done it all. Second, DMotR made the concept look juvenile, and a potential sure sign of a sub-par webcomic. If the person willing to "spend time and effort making a high-quality webcomic" rarely coincided with the person wanting to spoof Star Wars, it was because a comic spoofing Star Wars not only looked like it was hardly going to be high quality, it exposed that person to potential legal threats. After all, webcomicdom is a haven of geekdom.
Darths and Droids starts out remarkably like DM of the Rings, with complaining players trying to figure out the GM's dense plot. The major difference, as becomes apparent early on, is that the game world is largely made up by the players on the fly, with the GM constantly having to revise and make contingency plans to fit in everything the players try to do, rather than force them to do what he intended as the DMotR DM would. But a difference just as profound but not nearly as played up is that (unlike in DMotR) there is a difference between the players themselves. Jim is the wacky, aggressive, offensive one, while Ben is the smart, calm, collected straight man who has to deal with Jim's wackiness, which often involves coming up with more sensible explanations for Jim's actions. Still, the two of them together aren't much different from the players in DM of the Rings, constantly nitpicking the science (Obi-Wan/Ben), going into foolhardy charges (Qui-Gon/Jim), and thinking up ways to outsmart the GM (both, but especially Obi-Wan).
Things change virtually the instant Sally is introduced and plugged into the role of Jar-Jar Binks. The Comic Irregulars have explained that one of their chief goals was to make Jar-Jar likable, and well, you'd certainly never tell a 9-year-old she needs to be blown out the airlock. More to the point, Sally brings a perspective not only on this game, but on all of roleplaying, that was sorely absent from DM of the Rings. Sally is being brought into the game solely to keep her amused while Ben is ostensibly babysitting her. In most of her early appearances, the GM and the players spend a good amount of their time easing her into the game. Eventually she gets into the hang of the game more, but never loses her childlike innocence.
But in a development of more importance to the strip itself, Sally has the imagination of a 9-year-old, and so allows the Comic Irregulars a place to attribute all the more outre and ridiculous - in short, Lucased up - elements of the Star Wars movies, with the additional justification that the players and GM don't want to make her cry, so they run with her ridiculousness. Jar-Jar? Sally. An elected 14-year-old queen? Sally. An underwater path straight through the core of Naboo? Sally. I can't help but wonder if Sally will stick around for the rest of the prequel trilogy, disappear for A New Hope and Empire, and somehow get shoehorned into Return of the Jedi to bring us the Ewoks.
I talked before about the introduction of Darths and Droids' other non-traditional player, Annie, but I want to reiterate the broader importance of her playing Anakin. Darths and Droids has had, at least since Sally's introduction, some form of master plot (the Comic Irregulars integrate the players' quest for the "Lost Orb of Phantastacoria" so seamlessly with the movie's plot you find it hard to believe they just made it up if you're not familiar with the movie) and subplots (Jim is convinced that Sio Bibble is a traitor in the making, mostly because of his goatee, so naturally he probably finds Senator Palpatine completely trustworthy), not to mention relationships with and between the players, all of which is completely absent from DM of the Rings and the latter of which is impossible without Darths and Droids' differentiated, rich characterization. But Anakin's development not only looks to have a profound impact within the game world, it could have profound impact with the players as well, as the GM and the players try to figure out what to do with a player who's hijacking the game for her own tragic story.
Darths and Droids has a bunch of elements that DM of the Rings does not. A tolerant GM (perhaps excessively so). A GM and NPCs that aren't overshadowed by the players. Differences between the characters that go beyond "are you sure Legolas isn't a hot chick?" A grand, overarching, real plot. Subplots upon subplots. Real integration within its milieu. Sally. Annie. In short, Darths and Droids has taken the interesting concept Shamus Young thought of, and ran with it as far as they could make it go, creating a pretty darn interesting webcomic in the process. No surprise, then, that it's attracted a collection of devoted fans, no small portion of which is probably crossover audience from Irregular Webcomic!, with most of the rest coming over from DM of the Rings. But especially as it goes on, I wouldn't be surprised to see a large contingent of fans with connections to neither strip, mostly from Star Wars fandom, who can't help but wonder what Annie does to Anakin, how the players put up with that, what the players end up doing as they are forced to switch characters between movies, and so on and so forth.
And who knows? Maybe it'll even spawn a horde of imitators.

Well I have to comment now... :-)
We like to read what people are saying about the comics. Some people say, "Eh, it's not as funny as DMotR," and leave it at that. Which is fine - we're not their cup of tea.
But you... you get what we're doing. It's extremely gratifying to see someone who isn't privy to our writing discussions figuring all this stuff out. Thanks for showing us that, and for sharing that with the Intarnetz.
Hopefully you haven't figured out everything though. We'd like to think we still have a few surprises up our sleeves. :-)

Morgan Wick - I cannot understand how you cannot have a good job. Your writing skills are much better many other people I see on the Internet. You can write long articles and still keep them interesting and you can express your feelings inside it, without it sounding too much like your own opinion. You can research well, as shown in this post.
Your comic updates everyday, showing that you can keep a schedule and the content is never the same.

Hi, David.
I think it isn't as flat-out funny as DMotR (in the sense that that often had me literally crying with laughter).
But I don't read it like it's trying to be funny the way DMotR was. It's doing different, interesting things that DMotR did not, *and* as an added bonus, it happens to be frequently funny.
When DMotR wasn't funny, it often left me a bit flat. When Darths and Droids isn't being funny, it's still utterly fascinating. A big part of its entertainment value is somewhere other than the yakks.

RE: Fang_q:
One, I don't have a driver's licence, which disqualifies me from a lot of jobs. Two, I haven't had much in the way of jobs and that disqualifies me from jobs that ask for "experience". Three, most of the classes at school I've taken are core courses everyone takes anyway, so you can't look at my transcript and say, "Oh, he has this, this, this, and this skill." Four, I'm incredibly introverted, shy, and don't get along with others; read my "about me" posts from the beginning for more on that.
Five, and in case you're thinking some of those are irrelevant to what you have in mind, can you name a writing job for a college student - especially one not majoring in a writing field - that wouldn't be with the school itself?
Oh, and six, I am incredibly lazy, especially when it comes to work I'm not personally invested in and find at least a modicum of fun in. I should have a BIG backlog of webcomic posts by now and should be working on irrelevant posts that won't go up until deep into August. That affects my propensity to apply for jobs and to do the work once I get there.

Sorry this is a bit late - I did not notice your reply.
I am not going to mention any jobs which might work for you. Instead I am making a book suggestion; Michael Heppel's 'How to be Brilliant'. It tackles some of the problems you mention - laziness, shyness, bad careers. The techniques illustrated in the book work brilliantly and I could feel a difference within a couple of days of using it.

2012 wrapped up with several auction records, from a drawing by Raphael that sold for nearly $50 million to a very expensive antique clock.
There were also sky-high prices for movie props and a batch of love letters written by a rock star.
Let's take a look back at the most outrageous purchases people made in the month of December.
An auction record for the Renaissance-era artist
A rare drawing by Raphael sold for $47.9 million at a Sotheby's auction in early December. The final sale price marked an auction record for the artist and doubled pre-sale expectations, according to Today Entertainment.
The work, called "Head of an Apostle," was from the collection at Chatsworth, the ancestral home of the 12th Duke of Devonshire. It was purchased by an anonymous collector.
Expensive James Bond memorabilia
The Walther air gun used in promotional photos for the 1963 film "From Russia With Love" sold in December at a Sotheby's auction in London for $196,000, according to Paul Frasier Collectibles.
The air pistol had belonged to photographer David Hurn and was used as a last-minute replacement after the photographer realized that no one remembered to bring Bond's smaller Walther PPK to the shoot, according to PFC.
The buyer remained unnamed.
The most expensive clock ever sold at auction
The Duc d'Orléans Breguet Sympathique clock sold for a record price at a Sotheby's auction this month, well above its presale estimate of $5 million.
It's not the first time the clock broke an auction record; it also held the previous record with a price of $5.77 million, which it achieved at a 1999 Sotheby's sale, according to Watchalyzer.
The tortoise-shell clock dates from 1835.
Auction record for a reddish-orange diamond
A rare, 3.15-carat reddish-orange diamond sold for $2.09 million at a Christie's auction in New York City.
Not only was it the largest diamond of that color ever graded by the Gemological Institute of America, it also set a new world auction record for a reddish-orange diamonds and a new per-carat record price of $666,200, according to Forbes.
The buyer of the stone remained anonymous.
Sold for 10 times its pre-sale estimate
A rare Chinese blue and white porcelain vase that once belonged to First Lady Lou Henry Hoover sold at a Bonhams auction in San Francisco for $5.9 million, well over its pre-sale estimate of $500,000 to $700,000.
The vase, sold on behalf of a California institution, was made during the short reign of the Emperor Yongzheng (1723-35) and decorated with painted foliage, according to the auction house.
The buyer was Richard Littleton of Littleton and Hennessy, an Asian Art advisory group based in the U.S., London and Hong Kong.
Pricey movie prop
The piano used for the song "As Times Goes By" in the 1942 film "Casablanca" sold for $602,500 at a Sotheby's in New York this month, according to the AP.
The 58-key upright was sold to an unidentified buyer for well under its pre-sale estimate of $1.2 million.
It had been put up for sale by a Japanese collector on the film's 70th anniversary.
High price for old mail
A batch of love letters Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger wrote to singer Marsha Hunt sold for $301,472 to a private collector at a Sotheby's auction in London, according to The New York Daily News.
The 10 letters date from 1969. Hunt was the inspiration for the Rolling Stones' 1971 hit "Brown Sugar" and bore Jagger's first child.
The oldest Islay Single Malt ever released
Whisky distiller Bowmore announced in December that it had sold its oldest bottle ever, a rare Bowmore 57 Islay Single Malt, for around $160,000 at its distillery in Islay, Scotland.
It's the oldest Islay single malt ever released, according to Bowmore. The same bottle failed to sell at two auctions earlier this year, according to Bloomberg.
The U.S.-based buyer of the whisky, which came in a hand-sculpted glass bottle, remains anonymous.
17 times their pre-sale estimate
A collection of 30 leather-bound books comprising "The Works of Charles Dickens" sold at Waverly Rare Books in Falls Church, Va, for more than $70,000, well above their $2,500 to $4,000 pre-sale estimate, according to Auction Central News.
The 1861-63 collection contained titles including Oliver Twist, A Tale of Two Cities, and A Christmas Carol. One issue was inscribed by the author himself.
The collection went to a London bookseller on behalf of an anonymous client.
Sold to raise money for public works projects
Two sweaters knit more than 25 years ago by Suu Kyi, a 67-year-old former political prisoner and winner of the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize, sold for high sums as part of a fundraiser held by her opposition party, according to the AP.
The sweaters went to an anonymous bidder and a Myanmar-based radio station. Proceeds from the sales went to the education of poor children and health projects in Myanmar, the AP reported.

Riva 66 Multi Fuel Fire
A magnificent, landscape-shaped cassette fire
The Riva 66 has significant heating capacity and will be a stunning focal point in your living room.
Although it is possible for the Riva 66 fire to be fitted into certain 'fireplace openings', the extra depth of firebox may require selection of the deep version of the Profil frames to achieve such installations.
Alternatively, this model is ideal for new-build homes, barn conversions or where major refurbishment is taking place and a larger opening can be constructed.
If you expect to burn mainly smokeless fuel, then due to the larger firebox, you may wish to consider the optional 'reducing' kit. This decreases the amount of fuel you need to load but it also guides the fuel and cinders towards the grate for improved combustion. However, you may still burn wood with equal efficiency.
Furthermore, you can optimise the heating potential of the Riva 66 fire with two accessories:
The first is a fan-assisted convection kit, which boosts warm air entering the room at just the flick of a switch.
The second is a ducting system that diffuses some of the heat to other points in the same room or into other living spaces.
Or install both the fan and ducting system for ultimate heat distribution.
Colour choices: Storm Metallic or Midnight Black Metallic paint.
|Overall dimensions
|742 x 599 x 395mm (w x h x d)*
|Heating efficiency
|Wood: 80% - Smokeless fuel: 76%
|Heat output

Happy Sunday! This weekend was packed, but fun.
I had the day off and spent all morning doing laundry, cleaning the house and doing glamorous tasks like sanitizing my dishwasher and cleaning my coffee maker. Glam-o-rous I tell you. The weather was absolutely gorgeous so I ran some errands and enjoyed the beautiful weather outside.
Brandon came home and we had a yummy dinner {if I do say so myself!} of salmon sandwiches, sweet potato fries, watermelon and pineapple.
We watched a movie and got in bed like the old people we are.
We slept in and went to Top Golf with my brother-in-law, Jeff; sister-in-law Becca; and Becca's brother Joey who is home on leave from the Air Force before he goes to South Korea {please pray for him!}.
It was another gorgeous day, and I just enjoyed sitting in the sunshine with a Bloody Mary. Honestly the perfect afternoon.
We ran to NorthPark afterward to do a little shopping, then had lunch at one of our favorite local Mexican restaurants, 7 Salsas.
After that, we went over to our friends' Brandon and Kimmie's house to visit for a little bit. Kimmie's cousin was in from New Jersey and y'all...she had never heard of shrimp and grits. Or grits for that matter. Isn't that crazy!? I also mentioned that I had a Bloody Mary earlier in the day and a couple of the people there said, "Ew, I don't like Bloody Mary's!" WHAT?! I promise you that I am Southern through and through. If I knew I wouldn't gain any weight, I'd eat chicken fried steak, shrimp and grits, fried okra, cornbread and a Bloody Mary every day. That'd definitely be my last meal if I ever had to have the option of having one! Ha!
We joined our church today! It was so intimidating to be up in front of our entire congregation, but we did it! We are so happy and are so thankful for and blessed with a great church.
After church, we went to Panera for lunch. My favorite new salad from there is their Power Chicken Hummus Bowl on their hidden menu. {Thanks for the tip about their hidden menu, Stephanie!}
Then, I took my rear to the gym for the first time since Christmas {I know, I know!!!}. It was time, though. I can tell I've gained weight - especially in my face - and it was just time. We've been eating really healthy for a good while, but I needed those extra calories burned! So running and weight lifting it was.
I'm also doing this water detox cleanse. Don't worry, I'm still eating food like normal! I just was on oral steroids for a really bad rash/hives I have had all over my stomach, chest and neck for the past four weeks {SO AWFUL AND EMBARRASSING!} and needed to get rid of the excess water weight they made me retain.
I started today and let me tell you, I feel like a pregnant lady having to get up to go to the bathroom every 15-20 minutes.
After the gym, I wandered to Target to get a new hairdryer, because mine bit the dust. I got this one, then came home and read my new Real Simple and it was written up in there! How about that?!
I also scored this cute top {in white} thanks to Nina's recommendation. It's precious!
Hope y'all have a great week!

Our church is a member of the Christian & Missionary Alliance Church of Australia (CMAA). It was inaugurated by a missionary Rev. Jonathan Kaan and a small group of Christians on November 8, 1987 at an English church in Woodville Gardens. Throughout the years, due to the expansion of our congregation, our church has moved to its present location. Initially, it was a Cantonese speaking but with Mandarin translation church, later on a new English speaking congregation was also formed in 2001 to meet the needs of many English speaking young people. The CMAA was established in 1969; and now has over 50 local churches in different Australian states. In Adelaide, there are three Christian & Missionary Alliance churches, namely, North East Alliance Church (Modbury North), Adelaide Vietnamese Alliance Church (Enfield) and us. These three Alliance churches are co-ordinated by a CMAA regional representative. Our church is registered with the Australian Government as a religious organisation. All persons, who have been baptised at our church, become the church's parishioners. The administration and pasturing of this Church are carried out by our pastors and lay leaders.

6am NRR:
Right at the start, it seemed like no one was interested in doing much today. We didn't roll out until 6:02, and then it was just a bit of a lazy two up roll. Gradually the pace lifted, and soon enough it was single file for 20-30 riders.
I never felt super stretched when on a wheel, but if a surge or inattention caused a slight gap, it took a concerted effort to close it.
Given the fast pace, the only time I hit the front was coming out of the golden mile. We got some lights, and I decided I'd do my bit to get the sprint train started. I got on the front and worked to get things going, had a look back to ensure that everyone was on, and realised that I had pulled Jono Cantwell and myself clear. I gave a perfunctory "we're on" and nailed myself for a few hundred metres to make the gap as big as possible as quick as possible.
I rolled to the side, getting ready to grab Jono's wheel and fully hate life... but he soft pedaled through and I pulled the chute, the impetus was lost.

You're a relatively new resident at your retirement community, or you will be moving in soon, or you've been there for some time but haven't yet found volunteer opportunities that really appeal to you.
You see others around you with meetings to go to that they find satisfying. There's obviously a hospitality committee welcoming newcomers, engineering monthly birthday celebrations and supporting holiday parties. Other groups put on monthly meetings with lunch and outside speakers. A dozen standing committees oversee various aspects of community living, like the residents association, and informal groups and committees interested in wellness and exercise, safety, outdoor environment, travel, book clubs, card playing, choir, entertainment, and ever so much more.
Many people have urged you to "get involved," and for some it's automatic and simple. They plunge right in, meet people and put their skills to good use. If you're one of these, congratulations! Have at it!
However, if that's not you, you may prefer instead to chat with the director of volunteers, to find suggestions where you may be most comfortable and have the most to contribute. Many have made successful choices that way.

Buguda bank loot: Main accused held
Bhubaneswar: The Nayapalli police here on Monday arrested Sahadev Barik alias Naga, prime accused in the Utkal Gramya Bank loot incident in Buguda block of Ganjam district in May this year.
Acting on a tipoff regarding his presence at Salia Sahi here with his associate, the police conducted a raid and nabbed him.
Notably, six masked miscreants armed with country bombs and guns had looted the Manitara branch of the Utkal Gramya Bank in Buguda on May 24.

The obsession with legitimacy is the original recursive argument of political and philosophical debates. It sets off from an ideology of origination that skews all subsequent discussion and investigation. Thus in many ways the appeals to something's being self-evident is a stunningly original departure (much as the experience of reading Descartes and coming across the cogito ergo sum for the first time). It denies the dominion of the past, saying that our ever-present (N.B.) capacity for thought and invention is necessary, if not always sufficient.
The difficulty with removing legitimacy is that a thing must be allowed to grow and change, lest what it is now become but another foothold for those attempting to climb back to the days of yore in the assumption that older=better. (This is why the argument of a type of infallible, original intent interpretation of the U.S. constitution is the most perverse of all, attempting to be both historical and yet valid for all time.) If we consider a thing to be growing and alive, then this must imply that it will eventually pass out of being. Legitimacy should be considered according to what we want now and in the future, considering whether this tallies with the past. If it doesn't, why not? If not, do we do away with it?

|Name: Laura Adams
I wanted to ask about the luggage policy. We have tickets between Budapest and Krakow and the way the policy is stated it looks like luggage is limited to small carry-on luggage. Is there the option to bring more luggage for a fee? Am I misunderstanding the policy? Or are we limited to small carry-ons when traveling? Thank you for your time.
|Date / time: 2018-03-06 08:13:23
|Name: Pavla Janoušková
Dear Laura Adams, thank you for contacting us. You can have bigger luggage for free. You just have to be able to get it on the train yourself and store it on the overhead racks or somewhere in your cabin (if you travel in a sleeper cabin overnight). If you have a big and a small luggage per passengers, that is the standard and there should be no problem.
Kind regards Pavla

While some research suggests that reading fiction makes us more empathetic and that listening to music can make us happier, it's difficult to measure the inspiration that can come from a streak of light across a canvas, the way a story set in a foreign land can shift a worldview, and why getting fully immersed in a performance is so uplifting. How do the arts change our lives and our behavior in ways we don't expect and often can't put into words? Can experiencing a sublime work of art or the majesty of an opera not just bring us pleasure but make us more humane people?
New Yorker staff writer Susan Orlean, Getty Trust President and CEO James Cuno, and Segerstrom Center for the Arts President Terrence W. Dwyer visit Zócalo to discuss the role the arts play in shaping our selves.

In some parts of rural Mexico, aid is only now arriving, four days after a 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck the country.
CGTN's Dan Collyns reports.
Tens of thousands of homes and businesses have been damaged beyond repair. And in rural Mexico, that means you're on your own, for awhile at least.
In the countryside, around 50 km from the epicenter of this deadly quake, adobe mud-brick constructions are common—and they're the first to fall when the earth shakes.
In Tetela del Volcan, most people were working the land when the earthquake hit. Local authorities say some three thousand houses have been damaged
"This one was too strong," Andrea Pi, who experienced the quake said. "We've seen earthquakes but not like this, and not here. There are people who lost their entire houses, they lost everything and are sleeping under tarpaulins."
Volunteers are helping people restore their damaged homes, even if the homes haven't been knocked down. Meanwhile, help based entirely on donations continues to arrive.
"As volunteers we, ourselves, are taking the food to the places where it's most needed rather than to other collection centers where they might just sit there," says Miguel, a volunteer. "We want to deliver it right into the hands of the people who most need it."
Beyond short-term damage, the quake could bring future problems.
According to locals, a 700 meter-long crack opened up on the side of a mountain the day after the earthquake struck.
Mario Martinez, a geologist, explained that, "As a precaution, we told the authorities to evacuate the houses below so there isn't an unexpected tragedy. We have only made a superficial examination so far."
Some 400 people have had to leave their homes until further notice— an unfortunate consequence of living in one of the most seismic regions on earth.
