I'm at the theaters. Gonna watch Avengers: Infinity War. Oop, phones off gotta go bye!

So I finally dusted off my old RuneScape account that I haven't used since 2010-ish. They remixed and reorchestrated most of the music in the update from RuneScape 2 to RuneScape 3, and while I'm not a fan of what they did to "Sea Shanty II", most of it's a significant improvement. Case in point: Harmony

I don't know how this ended up in my recommendations, but here's this thing. Basically: LEGO train multi-track drifting, set to "Deja Vu" from Initial D. Catchy song. I'd put it in the 'listening' thread with a lyrics video (here's a link to one), but I felt this was more fun to show than a bunch of words. Also, tire company Goodyear is working on spherical tires, like from the I, Robot movie. I can picture someone driving sideways (literally sideways) to this music.

Guys, you're all wrong! That's the species. Her family name is Hominidae.

Yeaheah! Way to go, Ellen! ...or whoever it is. Still, way to go! Diamond broke, but I'm wondering if the shards still work. Then we'd get our plural "Ellens", though Ellen still needs to transform first (or maybe not? Magus did modify it a bit). Jury's out, though.

Today's highlight: replacing the water heater. Followed by pizza, but that's not this thread.

And now that the actual game is over... What are the 6 cards that weren't played (not counting the other Reset and Swap that never got played, of course), and what were their effects? What are the full effects of the cards that were played, but the effects of which just never came up? Fox, Bunny, Tall, Sensei, Nurse, Police, Cheetah, Poodle, Shrink, and Lifeguard haven't had their effects shown or stated at all. What cards have the Cat or Dog animal modifiers? What cards have the Big or Small size modifiers? What cards have Attract or Repel modifiers? What cards could make use of those shortcuts that never came up? Clarification on card effects that were stated in commentary but not in a completely clear way: The commentary describing Squirrel implies it can move backwards as well. Is this true, or is it forwards only? Some more clarity on Saint Bernard's ability to remove 1-Types that share a space with it. Pretty much I wanna know more about this Goomanji game that we don't already know.

And with that, all 2-, 3-, and 0-type cards are known. This leaves only three 1-Type Animal cards, one 1-Type Physical card, and two 1-Type Clothing cards, or a total of six cards still unknown. Takin' all bets!

Could be, or it could also be that she has to simply know it's in there. (Another question for Dan!) I understand her not being able to summon something she doesn't know about, but if she opens it, sees that there's a bug, closes it, then tries to summon the bug, what would happen?

Of course. That's why I used water as my example instead of a sandwich. Though, on the note of Susan's summoning chest... What if a bug crawls in there somehow, and she tries to summon that? Or if Nanase takes control of one of the fairy dolls in there, and Susan summons the fairy doll Nanase is using? Or someone shrinks and steps inside (Squirrel!Grace, perhaps?)? Add "Living things" and "People" to my list up there.

She's having fun. Quoth Ashley, I don't think she does that much...

How does Susan's summon-from-box spell interact with... Electronics? If she puts, say, a remote control in the box, then summons it, will it work the same? Basically I wanna know if the remote she used to lower the back of her couch could've been a summon. Food and drink? What if she drinks summoned water? What if she unsummons summoned water that's been drank? Writing utensils? If she writes with a summoned pen and then unsummons the pen, what happens to the ink? "I prepared explosive runes this morning." (And no, Susan listing the contents of her box doesn't discount the remote; she said she had "random junk" in there, and a one-button remote could easily fall into that category.)

Been a while, hasn't it? Nintendo dropped their latest Direct and besides the expected Kirby update and Undertale confirmations, we got a few Splat Bombshells. First, the next Splatoon 2 update comes with a paid DLC which adds playable Octolings! That's right; not only can you go into multiplayer as one of the bad guy types, but you get a whole new story mode centered around playing as one! Second, SMASH BROS. FOR SWITCH FEATURING INKLINGS 2018! Now if only I had a Switch...

They explained this a little while ago. Magus isn't sure how much of this Elliot will remember, so he needs someone to explain it to him once they separate. Thus, Ashley.

Well it looks like they fixed the acronym, at least. (for comparison: PTTAPUTASF) With "Ellens", plural, in the title, I think the plan here is this. Magus touches the Diamond. Then Magus in his new body uses a cosmetic spell on Ellen. Then Sirleck touches the Diamond and takes the new altered Ellen duplicate body. Then they leave and fight Abraham offscreen later. Think Abraham's gonna have another moral dilemma about killing Ellen after being convinced not to do so was the whole point of the previous Sister? Magus is probably fine, desperation and all that, but the problem is Abraham has to kill a body-snatcher aberration without killing its host and the option to do so may not come up. The question is whether Magus's possession means him (and, thus, his existing soul) will become the new Elliot duplicate's default soul, or not. And how body-snatcher aberration possession also works in regards to souls (though I think in that case, Sirleck's ability to keep his host's body alive after its death might come in handy, though he'd be rather miffed to get himself a shiny new body only for it to die too).
