The data for the pages was contained in the “flyback”; each dot of each frame of your normal TV programme image started at the top left of the screen, moved to the right and then flew back to the left, one line down until you had a screen’s-worth. The flyback was fast so as to get a full screen image in whatever the frame rate was (30Hz?) Originally the flyback was just wasted bandwidth: a necessary loss whilst your TV moved it’s electron beam back to the left hand side. But because the flyback was fast, you’d never be able to get a full ‘proper’ image in there; that’s why teletext was text and primitive block graphics. And why you’d have to wait several minutes to see the page you wanted on a trend page cycle!

Are you still getting killed after the latest update? The patch notes claim to have fixed the over-exuberant (aka unprovoked, murdering) security forces attacking you on sight. I believe this has caused AFK T10 deaths previously.

If you vote with the other hand, is it like someone else is doing it?

Stoopid helium. Welp, let’s use the hydrogen then.

Honestly, it’s not that difficult. Impalers gonna impale. When I had him round for afternoon tea, I went with the fact that I had pictures to hang, but couldn’t be bothered. He saluted my lack of devotion and those pictures were up in ten minutes.

You’ve just got to know how to exploit skills.

This is fine detail.

Love me some ancient Italian. And cheddar.

I read that in the voice of Hannibal Lecter.

Another interpretation may be sleep paralysis. The encroaching, the sudden break-off when you finally gain control; they’re certainly characteristic of my experiences.

The taste buds are for Sweet, Sour, Bitter and Salty. That’s all there is. All the flavours right there.

It’s an unspoken thing, but I always touch my dice for luck before I jump.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s not the human that instigates the yawn at all, and it’s initiated by the lung microbiome to regulate its environment.

For science: anyone up for huffing some chlorine to see if their yawning goes away?

Oh no! I guess no good deed goes unpunished after all.

I’d better start by saying this is not my server and it sounds like you’ve found yourself in corners I’ve never visited or imagined there would be. I simply stumbled upon it and thought I’d share some Nice Stuff.

The concept of players taking their time to offer something genuinely useful to other players, at considerable in-game cost to themselves and irl very laborious seemed genuinely altruistic: a rarity these days.

I’m not going to go hunting until I find the Bad Stuff you refer to; it’s the Nice Stuff that needs a helping hand!

I’ll follow-up by apologising for not being specific enough and try to fix that:
