Its a really long story involving my aunt, my mother, a small gun battle, living costs, marriage and assorted other things

At least the food is good here. Even if it's too rural for my taste.

Oh really when?

Maybe some day. Now I'm forced to trope on my phone and don't feel like typing out such an epic without a proper keyboard and the like.

Rest assured any story about my mother's side of the family is interesting

I am intrigued. I look forward to hearing about it from you.

Also, general out there question:

On Steam, if you "own" a title, are you allowed to transfer/gift it to someone else's account? I have a copy of Grid Autosport I got for free with my PC, and the sys reqs are much higher than what I am running on my PC (yes. I know. They gave me a Steam code of a game that doesn't run on the PC its bundled with).

So yeah. a) is there a way to gift it, and b) who would like to have it? (offer valid unless the game runs successfully on my PC)

Valve has been considering the possibility of allowing people to sell their licenses to Steam-purchased games, but I don't think there's any such system in place yet. The only way to gift a game to someone else is to buy it as a gift with the intended party selected at the time of the transaction.

Wow. That sucks. It also sucks that Steam doesn't have a digital returns policy, which is technically illegal under EU law, but I guess they get away with it by being based in the United States.

I think I've become the invisible roommate that no one cares about. Either that or these people just aren't smart enough to realize that openly talking about their underage drinking hijinks is a bad idea.

I wish there was a way you could create your own Pokemon to put in your game.

I think that would be cool, but waaaay too much work. and it would be so badly abused. but cool. I'd do a Tuatha De Dannan style Fairy type.

I mean, there would be limits to what you could do, but I would so want that.

I've always wanted to make combinations of types that either don't exist, or exist and suck.

I'd like a water/fire type based on fish that live near underwater volcanoes. I think that's going to be a legendary, actually, but I always wanted it.

and I still want a dragon type eevee. and a ground type eevee. and just more eevee. 18 eevee.

That's one of the combinations I want.

Also, I don't like eevees a lot. I kind of like the variety you can have, but they aren't the best.

my first hamster was named Eevee Flareon ( this was back in 1999) I am stubbornly loyal to my faves.

hhhmmm. I like Umbreon an awful lot. I have one named Thayet, and she's fantastic. though I'm thinking that the eevee I'm raising in my Y run through will be an espeon, since I haven't used one in ages.

I would like Umbreon more if it naturally learned any decent attacks.

Can I just randomly ask - would it be wrong of me to suggest that comic book films have grown old and stale to me?

Seriously, I don't dislike them but I want something else from them, and not the same old themes over and over.

Marvel are kinda trying to do that.

They've completely stopped doing origin stories, for one.
