The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

UGH-I can't wait until I get my new glasses, frames are cracked, and now BOTH stems keep falling off.

Maybe if one of your eyes didn't stick out so far, that wouldn't be a problem.

zennioptical. So cheap you can have a few spares just lying around.

I have some Zennis. I usually wear contacts, so I'm okay with them, but the chromatic aberrations are pretty noticeable to me. Maybe they've gotten better.

So I obviously got a new addon that shows a brief snippet from the thread. Now, you can do either first post (which is set to now) or the most recent post. Any preference?

HCGLNS · Mar 10, 2016

Minotaur penis.

Most recent.

GasBandit · Mar 10, 2016

Most recent.

MindDetective · Mar 10, 2016

Most recent

Dave · Mar 10, 2016

Changed.

PatrThom · Mar 10, 2016

So long as it doesn't break things like spoiler tags, most recent.

GasBandit · Mar 10, 2016

Testing spoiler tag breakage

[DOUBLEPOST=1457630873,1457630851][/DOUBLEPOST]Seems like it works appropriately.

PatrThom · Mar 10, 2016

It was that and NSFW stuff I was most worried about.

Is there a user option to disable it?

I admit it seems noisy, but that might also be because it is new and different.

No. It's all or nothing. But the dev is great about taking suggestions. So I have my first "I don't like it." then. :-(

It's not that I don't like it, it's just...

...

Yeah, ok, I don't like it. But I can deal.

GasBandit · Mar 10, 2016

Honestly I could take it or leave it, personally.

WasabiPoptart · Mar 10, 2016

I didn't like it. Too busy.

Agreed, it was cluttering up the screen.

That might not be too bad if, instead of always displayed beneath the post title, it was instead a hover-over.

I was thinking a hover-over would be better, too. I kind of like the idea of a preview of the last post in a thread.

Can we call our country Pinkyland or maybe Eric?

Narf!

Yoshimickster · Mar 10, 2016

You ever notice that Man-bat is almost exactly the same as The Lizard? Like, almost word for word, the only difference being what animals they turn into. Why does this bother me more than both Marvel and DC having Scarecrow villains who use fear chemicals?

blotsfan · Mar 10, 2016

I dont like sand

Yeah. Thankfully, its not like you. You're soft and smooth.

Cut that out, cut that out. Look, you're marryin' Princess Lucky, so you'd better get used to the idea.

I've heard shes got huge...tracks of land.

Thank you. I've worked hard to become so.

I dunno, those abs and pecs look rock-hard.

Yeah, but stuff happens all the time. You got your collective conscious driven simultaneous development (everyone is talking DNA, so mutants it is), stories inspired by other stories (both are similar to The Fly, which is much older), and then you've got deliberate knock-offs (Lobo as a parody of Wolverine, Wade Wilson parodying Slade Wilson who is clearly a Captain America gone bad who is inspired by real life Nazi super soldier writings).

Don't forget Clark Kent.
