A grey cloudy one. And a little warm. Not too warm though. Haven't looked so i can't say for sure what it is.
I've been around. Hard to use forums in the evenings, what with the cat and all
Apparently Firefox doesn't like my bank anymore. Had to use chrome.
Or, your bank doesn't like Firefox.
A lot of places don't. Most government sites I've dealt with over the years suggest chrome or MS crap.

Windows 11 was announced. Internet Exploder is going away entirely. Internet will be required for Home edition. Blah.

Internet required? Interesting. So what about those places where there is no internet access? Like a lot of villages in England, for example? Hmmm.

It's going to be a cold day in Hell before I use an internet required type system to use the internet....Wait what?!
Is this another little step to get everyone used to monthly/yearly subscription fees like Photoshop? Personally I really don't like the idea of "internet required" anything.

Doubtless eventually!
Why let you pay once when a subscription is forever?
Thing is, many current subscription packages are not exactly cheap on a monthly basis anyway. Over a year some of them equal your car insurance!
It is just blatant money grubbing and so easy huh! Either you keep paying or it switches off….fabulous!

Which is why I've opted out on so many games now: New Vegas, Skyrim, DOOM 2016 and more.

Also, why do I always get the last post on a page and so when Saki answers me I ALWAYS have to go back and read what I wrote??

What do you mean about subscription to Skyrim? I play Skyrim, there's no subscription. Neither on PC nor on PS4.
I quoted too much. I only meant the "internet requirement" thing.
He doesn't like Skyrim because it's connected to the internet. Despite being able to offline Steam and never again go online after downloading.
But it's ok.
I don't like mandatory internet. Mine isn't 100% reliable. It's better than my DSL was, but it still gets interruptions for whatever reason.

So I guess this means hamburgers are now called Steamed Hams .
I don't get it.

I don't get it.
In one of the episodes of the Simpsons, Skinner invited Chalmers over for dinner and kept blundering it up, anyway he catches his kitchen on fire and lies to Chalmers that its the northern lights. Also Skinner goes to Krusty burgers and buys a bunch of burgers and calls them Steamed Ham.
Steamed Hams.
In other news: I got a new stereo.
I see. Yeah i don't really get the Simpsons. :/

I was looking at the Fanfic bit. I occasionally produce cameos, but I don’t see anywhere to add them!
By cameo, I mean a piece of prose, with or without a dialogue element, which looks like it was lifted from a bigger work. So no prologue or back story and no story continuation…but an entertaining stand alone page or two.
However, everything in fanfic looks dedicated to specific chars from their beginning, and continuing progressively. Which is fine and dandy (I have some of that squirrelled away too), but can I not add individual and unconnected shorties somewhere?
Could I start a topic for that? Or is it not what is wanted here?
Advice please…anyone!

Here is an example of what I mean following a battle (In Falskaar as it happens). There is no more, no lead in, no continuation. You enjoy what it is (or not) as it stands.
Hmmm, I just had a thrilling fight. I had returned to a camp where some bandits had respawned. The fights were so so with largely straight kills.
Most were already dispatched when this enraged regular Thug caught up with me in the courtyard. We engaged with the usual swipes, power attacks and blocks suddenly he made an over arm power attack which I dodged by moving left, and before he could complete his swing, I brought my sword across in a waist high flat arc from right to left
My razor sharp Dragonbone blade slashed a line right across his bare gut. The rent flesh opened like a vomiting mouth, spilling his intestine at his feet.
The vile pile of green and red bile sat there steaming in the chill crisp morning air.
His trembling fingers released his redundant sword and his confused questioning eyes locked with mine for a second before he dropped to his knees.
In slow motion it seemed, he looked down at the mess of guts and in his delirium he vainly tried to scoop them back into his gaping belly. I twisted my boot into his oozing entrails ending the fruitless attempt. He looked up at me with water filled eyes, the anger replaced with a deep sadness. Perhaps he was thinking of some loved one he knew he would never see again, I can’t know. He seemed to be trying to say something, but the shock reduced it to a stammering “I..I..I” and he began to wobble.
I took a brief pity upon him. “Shsh baby” I cooed to him, bending down and smoothing his greasy hair back from his dirt and blood smeared face. In a moment we both reached an unspoken understanding. A courtesy between combatants.
“Th..th..thank y..you” he managed with a grunted whisper.
I stood. My sword sank into his pain and it was over.
It was one of those special moments we occasionally face in the heat of battle. A few seconds which extend out of time and remain with us always.””

Dat's old news
Adella, you have a couple of good options in the fanfic area:
1. Make a new thread for each short story in the fanfic section. If you intend on just occasionally posting a short story, this works well.
2. Make a thread to showcase any/all of your short stories. Simply explain your intent in the first post and follow it with a short story. When you're ready to add another short story, simply make a new post in your thread. The advantage of this approach is that it keeps all your creative efforts relating to short stories in one place.

Ok, thank you Acadian, I shall take the latter approach, but I should like to offer others the opportunity to add their creations too if desired. A shortie thread!
