Which drugs?


I only inject marijuanas. Beer is what causes my memory loss. Speaking of which...time to hit the beer store and get ready for launch of Path of Exile The Awakening in 3 hours time.

I might not be around much for the next few months because of this game :(

We don't post while your computer is off. When you turn your computer back on the program is simulating an appropriate number of posts to fit the amount of time that passed. To you, it looks like we've been posting the whole time, but in actuality those posts were generated in the moments between clicking your browser icon on the desktop and the ATOT page loading.

The program calculates an appropriate time between posts based on the assigned life elements of the poster in question. Currently the simulation speed is being throttled by the temporal linearity of your posting habits, but in the moments between system startup and observer attention it is able to run full speed. Any number of calculations can occur instantaneously, including the simulated posts that you are reading now. The dates are for your benefit only.

I can confirm this. My masters thesis was on the quantum entanglement and resulting spooky effect of internet forum posts, and computer down time.

When I turned my computer back on, it said that it had a picture message for you.

I'm terribly sorry, but the forum user you have replied to, is fast asleep and can not reply. This is their computer, automatically responding.

As I am a computer (and switched off), I can only process images. So here is my response:
