It’s less joints and more that he’s just worn most of his discs out on his back. He’s already had one reconstructive surgery like 6 years ago but there’s just not enough left to actually fix. The steroid keeps the swelling down enough that it doesn’t pinch off nerves running to the lower half of his body.

We had a elderly border collie with all sorts of joint issues, mostly hips, idk what the laws are like in your area but we were prescribed medical marijuana in tablet form for her at night (UK) - Was very much a night time thing because the she would be absolutely zonked after it but it was a improvement in the day, although I thought at the time it was because she was getting a good sleep.

I still want to know who said what to Vio Geraci for him to slide into my DMs and try to accuse me of spying or stealing or whatever. But then again that was just kind of the overall atmosphere in those days.

VIO was kind of a faker when it came to spymastering and information security in general.

Must have been after I left then. I meant the guy with the rainbow avatar that was always pretty pleasant in Epsilon. If he went off the deep end after I left, I wasn't aware of it.

Edit: Hilariously, he was like the least abrasive member of Epsilon and was always pretty nice to everyone. Someone on SA has the same avatar and I thought it was him so I said "hi" but turns out it wasn't and they both just had the same gif.

FWIW, this only got him banned from Eve -- he was around on jabber for years after until he did eventually get booted for a completely different reason. Sadly, I don't remember what the reason was, but I remember it being for a pretty clear-cut reason and there wasn't really any room to argue semantics.

The dumbest thing most people did at the DC Meet was some drugs afaik, apperently there was a sexual assult that came out later?




I ran the larger eve market bots in jita for a few years (06->14ish?), a bunch of people in leadership knew, they never had access and honestly most didn't really know how to cheat and didnt, inno is included in that group.

People in TEST/PL/Goons did use my uncloaking script for a few years until it got patched though.

i actually feel kinda bad about Deadtear getting demodded cause we were the ones talking about xenuria ITT and all he did was copy paste what someone else posted.

and its pretty hosed for mittens to pretend like believing xenuria is an unperson for reasons you cant remember is beyond the pale when he himself pinged out all the ED links years ago

i mean god forbid you start paying attention to eve again after several years and ask "oh isnt that guy bad because reasons" and get met with "weve been over this, gently caress you"

God damnit that was arghythepirate not me, when i played it was coms silence, the only time i ever spoke* was when i lead a reinforcement fleet of newbies into a gate camp and suas had to save us after that i never spoke on team speak just listened because that was how fleets operated back then. I never bound a push to talk button or had a mic.

i think what happens is sometimes, just sometimes, mittens remembers that he did some hosed up poo poo to and asked a lot of hosed up poo poo from someone he knew was a minor at the time

i dont think anyone wants to make the transition from "criminal attorney" to criminal "attorney" over a horrible spaceship game.

'cuz i wouldn't actually do that, i'm too nice.

i was very upset about the situation and at that point, felt like it was my only leverage to get someone to do something besides delete it, which is infuriating when it's not just poo poo to be poo poo.

so a little facet to this story is my stepdad died 4 years ago today (nice segue huh) going into heart and liver failure, septic shock, he had hepatitis-C from IV drug use at like 17, for a few months. Didn't know, his whole life.
otherwise, he was really healthy, 49, exercised, ate well
went to the hospital
dead in 12 hours. in the arms of my (at the time)3 months into being 18 year old brother
i didn't go because i thought it was something minor. he never got sick, athletic.


I'm really sorry to hear that, I lost my mom the same way in 2010, but she knew for a long time, and it was a slow decline into liver failure for her.

I’m beginning to suspect that basing your entire identity around one single game and your position of power in it for 20 years may make you lose perspective in an unhealthy way.

Mittens and Brisc smugly talking on the meta show about they had been to a “lesbian wedding” while I was waiting for the northern freight company to get my stuff out of delve over anti-LGBT bullshit in goonwaffe corp mail, that the all seeing all knowing Mitanni must have been able to read, was the absolute low point in any video game I have ever played.
