In tabletop terms, would this make Magus a min-maxer?

Oh hell yes.

My anger at Alt-Ellen is dropping by the minute.

[Changing Medications (Level of Trust Required)]

I've been fighting a migraine all day today and while It's "only" annoying, it's not responding to the ladder like it should.  I'm going to bed soonish and I hope that will do something.

 

[What Are You Ingesting?]

I'm cooking 500 degree roast.  It's about 10 minutes into the cook stage and smells great. 

And it just made the fire alarm go off.  Not smoking or any thing, I'm not sure why.

Having had time to digest, it seems I owe Magus an apology. If he never intended to change Ellen without her consent, my anger against him loses most if not all of its basis.

Yeah, same here.  Still on the edge about him however.

 

[Changing Medications (Level of Trust Required)]

Today was shrink day.  Given the upheavals in my life this month, we decided to just keep the same meds for another month, then look at how I am doing.

Still inside I suspect.

By default Cheerleadra looks like Ellen.

You say that like it's a bad thing.  It's not.

[Discussions regarding Pacing, Scheduling and Fanservice]

The Dan just posted on Facebook that he is aware of the site roll back and is working on getting it fixed.

Elliot's best stance is "Ellen chooses. I'll back her up, whatever it is.  You (Magus) do not get to choose for her.  If she wants to be a male, I am fine having a twin brother now.."

This.  So much this.

And if Ellen does chose to be male, they simply swap who is going to what school and Elliot changes to Ellen for school reasons.  I can't see Ashley having a problem with that.

"Kentucky Fried Immortal" was one of many nicknames for Voltaire, based on his resemblance to Colonel Sanders, the mascot of fast food chain Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Yes.  That is who and/or what I meant.

[Story Monday April 2 2018]

Right now, I think, in a way, I have more feelings of anger aimed at Magus than I do at KFImmortal.

I am sincerely sorry to hear this. Is there anything we can do for you?

Not really.

[Things that make you sad.]

I was just notified that my father passed away on the 29th.  This has not been a good month for me.

Best line ever.

True.

Didn't see this aspect coming.  And he better fail or be stopped.

Are we considering a full-blown "Boy Named Sue" scenario here?

That would be my bet, that or "Ellen" comes from a universe with slightly different names than the EGS universe.  Even money on which one.

Many of us who spend most of our time sitting tend to grow a larger cushion.

 

While I am gaining weight due to my current brain drugs, I'm not getting a larger butt.  It's still a skinny white boy boney butt.  If any thing it's getting smaller, but that's hard to be sure on.

Nobody had any love for the 80186...

It was used a lot by people making embedded systems.  If Wikipedia is to be believed that was it's primary market. The Dialogic voice / telephone boards that I spent about 10 years working with used an '186 as it's on board chip.

Two potential solutions:

One, take it as a hint that exercising a little is good for you.
Two, get a better chair.

I recommend both.

I'm working on the better chair.   And I do try to go out and walk when it's not crappy weather.

The old mythbuster's build team had a forklift that used those wheels.

My skinny white boy butt.  If I sit to long on my desk chair, it goes to sleep and/or starts hurting.

Ooooooh....I just realized something else.

 

When Abraham tried to kill our Ellen, Nanase convinced him to swear not to hurt her. Abraham's exact words were "I solemnly swear to never harm Ellen Dunkel". What do you all think Abraham might think if he walked in thinking Magus was a threat only to find out his name is Ellen Dunkel?

That is pushing how a vow works.

Yes, it is.

Ah, cite?

I say that because you can't cite it.  Others have tried and failed.
