« on: November 19, 2017, 11:42:55 PM »

"There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered."



You emerge from your lover's apartment a brisk Sunday morning. It's been a while since you started dating your convenience store boss in a dystopian totalitarian society and you want to do something about it. Hopefully. How do you want to start the day?

Off Topic / (Project Veritas)PART 2: investigation exposes plot against inauguration

description:

"In this video, Project Veritas investigators uncover a group known as the DC Anti-fascist Coalition plotting to disrupt President-Elect Donald Annoying Orange’s inauguration by deploying butyric acid at the National Press Club during the Deploraball event scheduled for January 19th.

The meeting, captured on hidden camera, was held at Comet Ping Pong, a DC pizza restaurant that is better known as the location of the Pizzagate controversy. The coalition members discuss the steps they would need to take to halt the Deploraball event. Project Veritas notified the FBI, Secret Service and DC Metro Police of the content of this video prior to its release."

"The latest Project Veritas video reveals DisruptJ20 plot to Chain Trains and Halt the DC Metro.

This video exposes the collusion between the various groups under the DisruptJ20 umbrella. The video shows that DJ20 is not simply a movement of fringe groups but instead a nefarious organization."

Forum Games / (LEGO forum game) Uncooperative bebops: pick something starfish

« on: December 02, 2016, 03:47:07 PM »

Previously on Balls of Steel Z: https://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=302525.0

Combat and actions in this game will be loosely based around the mechanics for BrikWars.

At the discretion of die rolls, the forum's character can get perks and improve certain skills simply by training or by experience.

Aside from that, whatever we do is at your mercy, although it will usually be within reason for a human or some other similar lower lifeform, with results to match, so try not to get us killed.

steql someone

Steal yourself

Become the God of napping

roll around in the dirt

Find a river and take a bath in it

Attempt to hit on the boss at a fancy dancy resturant

then kill her in her sleep and take her job

You "steal" yourself.
Congratulations, you've accomplished nothing.

You decide to rest a little longer.
You also label yourself the God of Napping.

You roll around in the dirt,
thinking that it might clean you off.
You were incorrect.

You decide to actually clean yourself off
and you find the nearest body of water to do that in.

You work for the day.
At closing time, as you and your boss leave the building,
you ask if she would like to go out to dinner.

She accepts, but you realize you have very low funds.
She'll have to pay. How humiliating.

The night goes remarkably well at the local "fancy dancy" restaurant,
and you also learn some dance moves.
(Two Right Feet perk acquired! 10% chance of receiving +1 to Skill Roll when dancing.)

After dinner and dancing,
you need to decide if you'll part ways for the night or spend the rest of the night together.
And should you really kill possibly the only person that will really accept you?

haha it's been real, kids

tl;dr the DOJ has updated "old laws" so that the government can freely access "compromised" computers and track/prosecute anyone who uses anonymizing services like proxies/VPNs, as well as allow the FBI to issue a single warrant to hack computers across the globe.

Grow a Riddler stache

then become literally Riddler and shoot the cashier
he's a jew

steal all the money from the cashier

steal cashiers hair while at it.

Steal the cash register

Steal the cashier

Incapable of forcing your follicles to grow,
you do the next best thing and find a fake mustache in the shop,
then tearing it to suit your purposes.

You start recognizing race...
and respond accordingly! Combat engaged!

Despite your inexperience with the firearm,
your first shot is incredibly accurate,
instantly killing the poor jewboy.

Naturally terrified by what she has just observed,
the cashier opposite to the one you just murdered sounds the alarm.
You don't have much time.

You dash to the register to take not only the contents,
but the register itself! You're carrying a lot now.

You are also compelled to take the hair of the cashier.
Squish
RRRIP
Tear!
Using all your might, you manage to pull the hair from what's left of the cashier's head.
It isn't very clean though.

You see the practicality in stealing the cashier as well,
so you take his body too. As you make your slow escape, however...

A security droid appears!
They're a lot better at taking care of things down here!

The machine fires a compression blast at you.
Unfortunately, you lack the skill or power needed to avoid or withstand the attack.

You are completely eviscerated,
ending your longest journey.

"Man, glad I'm not that stupid,"
you think to yourself as you finish fantasizing.

It's a fresh new day and you've got a gun. Maybe you could leave the underground city and start killing people above ground?
Or maybe you could spend a certain amount of time training certain skills? That's far less entertaining, however.

Creativity / Image Editing

« on: June 07, 2016, 03:03:52 PM »

I wasn't sure if I should put this in the photography megathread because I didn't really take a photo and it's not real life.

I was browsing the gallery for one of my favorite games (Shores of Hazeron) and I noticed this really beautiful scenic image


I wanted it as a background for my desktop, but the problem here is that it's

A. 1280x720
B. pixely and weird because the game is pixely and weird

so what i did was i saved it and cracked open GIMP so i could edit it. I enlarged it to 1280x1050 (using the Sinc (Lanczos3) interpolation setting) and since enlarging the image did... things... to it, I applied different filters with different settings to it to blur and sharpen the image until i figured it was presentable

I just made a better version by using the despeckle filter and sharpening/blurring important parts of the image

the result:



now i think it's alright, but is there any way I can improve it somehow?

i actually like it more now.
