I'm still sure it's a starfish dammit!

I'm having awful trouble choking down the prescribed quantity of water, and suspect my weight loss is suffering for it in these final couple of weeks of no-food-whatsoever-for-Muttly. 800 grams in a week... sounds so puny, right?

(Well, it does compared to the better weeks. Yes I damn well WILL indirectly gloat; you should just be glad I'm too lazy at the moment to coordinate new ridiculously cheap suit and shirts and my digital camera.)


They should make a stand-alone version of the Elder Scrolls: Oblivion character creation screen. It's bloody marvellous. If only I'd got a screenshot to work, I'd actually have (admittedly rough and digitised) front, ¾ and profile views to show to people who ask me what Weft or Iceheart looks like. So sue me, I'm autistic and need such cheaty tools to visualise someone.

Iceheart's quite obviously a black-haired Nord (duh) and I used an Imperial as a base for Weft, though we all know he's really a Khajiit.

And no, by the way, I'm not actually playing the game except for watching one or the other of my bros and calling out helpful advice. But the face editor screen still kicks arse. Wonder if there's anything similar out there... or alternatively, wonder how I can get a screenshot from the blamed game itself. Didn't exactly have a lot of time to futz around with it, because Slen's hopelessly addicted and wanted his fix.


I'm gnashing my teeth at the Jack comic riddles. I'm fine with things that require a little effort (or squinting) and a bit of inspiration. But when the answer depends on you guessing that an idiot forgot Apache servers are case sensitive or what-have-you, that's just unfair. And this latest hidden picture one, I can't get at all; neither of the possibilities I've spotted seems to work when I try inputting them.

Edit: ok, found the answer now thanks to people on the forums. I saw the correct hidden thing but misidentified it. Meh. I'm slow and/or it was far too obscure a puzzle; don't know how anyone would ever guess that it was meant to be a close-up of a body part, even one belonging to an iconic character. *shrug*
