OPEN BAR: NO CISNORMATIVE ELVEN PATRIARCHS ALLOWED

[Q. G. Pennyworth]

The kids have no school tomorrow. This marks the 6th weekday in a row with no school, and I know none of us are going to adjust to getting up at normal hours well when it finally happens again.

We have been doing a shitton of cleaning, and tomorrow is disassemble and reassemble beds day. Maybe by Wednesday or Thursday we can get all the various bags of trash, clothes, toys, and bottle returns off where they belong instead of all over my damn house.


I hate playing grownups.

[Chelagoras The Boulder]

its a shit game, grownups.

In Phoenix.  In a pretty expensive hotel.

Toilet doesn't work.  It's been running non-stop since I flung holiness into it.

Sounds like the toilet's working fine. I can't think of anything that wouldn't run if you tried that on it.

Pretty much not a fun game at all in most ways.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

So at some point before I leave tomorrow morning I have to record a presentation and upload it to Youtube.

LOL

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I heard that everyone else is voicing over their Powerpoint. I don't even know HOW to do that. It's just gonna be me talking to the camera, damn well better be good enough dammit.

I disagree.

My adulthood has been far more fun than my childhood was.

You spend a lot of time playing better games than grownups. Like toilet warcrimes.

[Chelagoras The Boulder]

by far the most hilarious kind of war crime.

not that there's a lot of stiff competition in that regard.

JESUS H CHRIST IS IT ILLEGAL TO EXPEL MANLY TURDS NOW?  I am Doktor Howl, America's finest lover, and I do NOT take tiny craps like a hamster.  I take caveman craps, like all GOOD Americans.  If this offends the wimps that call themselves "plumbers" these days, I can hardly be held accountable.

It's easy, but boring.  Most graphic cards for computers nowadays come with built in recording capabilities.  You open the card manager, turn on the recorder, turn on the desktop capture function and go.

I'm pretty determined to go the "talking to the camera" route at this point, if only because everyone I've mentioned it to is horrified at the idea of actually being ON CAMERA. I don't see what's so terrifying about it, presenting live is much worse.

[Cain]

Yeah, that's what I meant by boring.  Anyone can record themselves with a mic and desktop capture card (see: all my Youtube videos), it's nothing special and doesn't make a presentation stand out.

I just thought I'd mention it, in case you wanted to know in the future.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Oh good, my son has taken my webcam AND my microphone to his dad's house. Well, it's not like that completely fucks me over or anything.
