And I see it's already time to say goodnight to a few early sleepers. ;-P
Night adaliabooks!

HypersomniacLive: Good evening/ day/ morning, peeps!

Hope everyone's doing at least ok, and had/ has a nice and relaxing weekend.

@Stilton
I see you got your helmet back, nice! Those horns on your forehead were kind of distracting.
*wave* How was your weekend?

j0ekerr: That would open up a whole can of worms of philosophical questions. If you're deconstructed, turned into information, then reconstructed at the other end of the device. Is it the same you, or a completely new one created from scratch that very instant, and the old you was killed in a molecule rending device. How does a soul travel without a body, and more importantly, is it morally acceptable to teleport me into Scarlett Johansson's bed while she's in it, naked?
I am certain that you would have to have Scarlett Johansson's permission, acceptance and invitation first, for that to be morally sound. :P

The teleportation process would cause an animated state of suspended animation, instead of traveling through Time, you would be traveling through Space at an accelerated rate, re-forming on the receiving end. From a technological and philosophical perspective, there would be concerns pertaining the efficiency and reliability of the machines and the process itself.

The moral and philosophical questions would revolve around that part where we are made into a pattern, and if that pattern could be altered (intentionally), or worse, your pattern could be saved and replicated again without your knowledge, in some other process.

As far as the Soul, it needs no vessel to inhabit or travel, once it is no longer needed by the host. And if we are lucky enough to value our souls, they might become eternal, though not in the popular notion of a Heaven, with wings and harps, but more like a memory intertwined within the fabric of the Universe, as a fossil is remembered in the geological record, except that with a soul, there might even be a possibility that it could take a living form again, through reincarnation.

After all, the Universe works in mysterious ways....

moonshineshadow: She had a lot of things planned this weekend, she'll probably be back tomorrow :-)
Thanks moon. Was worried for a second.

You can thank the shadowy moonshiner for that - its reassuring what constant haranguing can achieve ;-)

EndreWhiteMane: Popping in to say while I have a moment of usable internet, not a good day for bytes. :-)
*big extra special hug before you disappear again* :-)

l0rdtr3k: Hey D,have you seen or spoken to Owl? Haven't seen her this weekend.
As Moon said, she had a lot on this weekend. She is often not on as much during the weekend, just like I am not on Saturday evening through to Sunday night.

Hello, Hyper! *big wug (that's a wave crossed with a hug)*

How are you today? Did you have a nice weekend?

Stilton: The moonshine was so bright (make that persistent) that I had no choice but to see the light! I think most will be pleased - its funny and rather charming how we recognize each other by those little person-substitute pictures. Although mine may be the exception as I actually look like that...

ddickinson: I guess that will teach you for going up against a Valkyrie maiden. :-)

Is your avatar here to stay now, or just temporary until you find a new face?
He is here to stay - that expression of victory is real ;-)
Some of you may not be into Youtube Poop but I think this one's worth a look.

*victory hug and also apologizing hug* :P

That's better, too bad the snow doesn't work anymore though. ;)

Well this all looks slightly different now

Huh? *welcome hug*
All right, time for a Dark Souls break. I can only have so much fun being killed at one time. -laughs-

Grid-based RPG's are sounding nice right now. From what I read, Lands of Lore is the best bet for older, and Legend of Grimrock for newer.
Think I'll go with Grimrock since alt-tabbing Dosbox isn't working very well. It just wants to crash and die.

Good choice. The first one has some nice and interesting puzzles as well as a quite cool/funny end boss at least in my opinion :-)

Crow, when you download games what _don't_ you download?
I'll be at least 2TB getting everything.

Edit: Yes good choices, both are a lot of fun. Especially the first LoL.
