Silly toys of childhood days

Scalextric with cars like these
This video game

We always found it hard to get all the components to stay in place, and usually when the time came to set it all going things would miss their targets and have to be helped along.
-
Our rule was that if it didn't work, you didn't win. So each time before we started the contraption, we would first take a while to double check everything
-
I think I played the game properly maybe once or twice. Apart from that, it was setting it up and activating it, until we inevitably lost some pieces

No matchbox or majorette cars?

well it's the right number of arms, and she could be keeping hte other head in a birdcage on her shoulder to fit in with us earthlings better.

But.. but that's less than 4. The sequence is out of order.
Why would you do that?

Discourse created a crack in time which caused my post to be after @abarker's. The actual order of posts is first mine, then his quoting me.

Did you not read @locallunatic's link?
-
i did, but i thought of what at the time was a hilarious joke.
it is apparently not even remotely funny.
-
To be fair, I should have included a reference to "on the gripping hand" as people recognize that without knowing the book.
-
do i get points for recongizing it without the extra reference? or no, because i didn't say so at the time?

You get a "didn't get the joke" flag because there's no way to prove you didn't get the joke.

/me points at my collection whoosh badges
i've already got plenty of those for situations where i got the joke but didn't play along with it. and i'm not happy about any of them.

<stage whisper>This is one of those "read the raw" situations</stage whisper>.
-
i did read the raw. i didn't play along with it because too many people don't or refuse to read the raw.

I remember them. Never wanted one.
-
oh goddess, you're one of them aren't you?
I think everyone but your xierfriend[1] is.
[1] I only know silly gender pronouns and am not aware of any silly gender nouns.
-
-
Girlfriend is too hard to say?
Well, I was on a kick of using silly pronouns, and I wanted to extend that to silly nouns.
I try not to make a big deal of it, but knowing the actual sex of the people under the personae makes it uncomfortable for me to use an arguably-wrong pronoun.
-
But @RaceProUK consistently refers to herself as female, so she doesn't quite understand why it's an issue
In all seriousness, I see where you're coming from ;)

Like I said, I don't like to make a big deal out of it. I'm not 100% comfortable with the fact that many of my MMO characters are female--I only do it because the models look less ugly (and because it makes my son roll his eyes, which is something a parent should never pass up).
-

agreed! Trolling the next generation! Later on I'll just shit my diaper after they gave me a new one! I'm thinking ahead!

I blame Blizzard -- it's perfectly possible to have a non-ugly male char in a sane game ;)
(I'm more or less 50/50 out of the chars I play these days...although sometimes you just can't get the char model you quite want, independent of gender.)
-
Third person camera = female character.
First person camera = male character. Or 50/50 if it's Gamebryo.
Reasons should be obvious.
BTW that shitty Lord of the Rings game on Xbone lets you pick a female avatar but then shows the male avatar in cutscenes. It's weird.

I had a few Matchbox cars but they weren't the main thing I played with. I did have a lot of Action Men though.
-
I wonder if you're all too old farts to have experienced this.
I did. It was roughly at that point when I figured out there's no way I'm having kids.

You do realize you can zoom out, yes?

And that excuses such a basic issue, why?

That it is in front of the toolbar, rather than behind it? I don't think it is. I think the toolbar is translucent, and the drawing is behind it. That's true of the tools on the right.
