    What art is, to you at least.

    I've always thought of art as either one of two things: 1. To re-create something that already exists as detailed as possible so as to be enjoyed by people who haven't been there. Such as before the invention of the photograph when people wanting to preserve an image hired a professional...

    If World War Three broke out, would you sign up?

    Ignoring the world probably not surviving (as others have complained about) I'd try to assuming I'm not disqualified for reasons I don't know about (I hear they're lots of random reasons they might turn you down). I wouldn't look forward to it of course. Sincerely, The Vault Dweller

    Sir Terry Pratchett Passed Away

    All of them are great, but my favorites (as many others say) are Mort or Small Gods (both of which ironically deal with death and the gods). Although the stories in each book are self-contained (with a few exceptions) it's probably a bit better to start with the earlier books since there is...

    Sir Terry Pratchett Passed Away

    You know I wanted to post something profound quoted directly from his works (of which there are too many) especially something either from DEATH or about the Gods in his stories. I didn't since it seemed silly too easy, but I just saw (and remembered) this: Sincerely, The Vault Dweller

    Sir Terry Pratchett Passed Away

    http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-31858156 One of the worlds best authors having written 70 books in only 66 years of life and having what many would say the best sense of humor in the world is gone. I didn't know him personally so I'm not really sad, but I have to admit the world was...

    What is your favorite TV show?

    As someone who grew up watching Star Trek and TNG as a child I've often considered that I didn't understand most of it at such a young age and that I should re-watch it someday. I also missed all the older series. You bring up an interesting subject however on "meeting the actors in real life...

    Do you think a Nuclear war can actually happen?

    After everything that's happened and the fact we're all still here I can say chances are much higher there will never be an "end-game" scenario. It's something to be glad about. Sincerely, The Vault Dweller

    Privacy? What's that?

    They'll say it's just so advertisers can hear what we want and tailor the commercials to fit what they hear, but I'm sure that anything and everything recorded will be kept as a text file even when it's not relevant to advertisers and it's just one hacker attack away from countless people having...

    Netflix Developing Live Action "Legend of Zelda" series

    http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2015/02/06/legend-of-zelda-netflix-series/ Oh man if this is true it's going to be...excruciating. If it's great then great. If it's not it better be terribly awesome (like the Zelda CD-i games). This poses lots of awkward questions though. Game of Thrones is...

    Do you have a home in your dreams?

    I rarely dream, but I have NEVER been in my home(s) ever. My dreams always take place in random locations some realistic and some purely imaginary. Sincerely, The Vault Dweller

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    I'm playing Wasteland 2 which I just started. I waited a few months after it came out to be patched so it would run well, but it's somewhat slow and a few times I've had a bug that not only crashed the game while saving, but deleted the save file being used. I always save on multiple files...

    Favorite books / What are you reading?

    I'm reading Elminster: The Making of a Mage. It's a D&D setting book that's actually good. (most D&D novels aren't even worth reading) Sincerely, The Vault Dweller

    I would need pictures closer up and from all angles, but of mushrooms that commonly grow in hay the only one that's gray with black gills is the Common Inky Cap. Sincerely, The Vault Dweller

    Help topic: Identifying books/comic books/movies/anything

    I DON'T BELIEVE IT. This is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactarius_indigo which is rare to find in North America, but more common in the gulf region. It's the ONLY blue mushroom in this part of the world and it's bright blue color is wonderful. It's considered edible with a peppery taste...

    General Discussion Thread of DOOM

    I've started eating oats to lose weight. Low in calories and high in fiber. So much so that I eat half as much food when I eat oats and the oats themselves are half the normal calories than most foods. Since I do a lot of eating in front of the PC I actually don't mind that they are bland...

    For the sake of satisfying my curiosity without me risking physical/mental discomfort I owe you one. Not that I was going to try it, but I wondered. Sincerely, The Vault Dweller

    A public service announcement from your friendly forumite Akratus.

    I wasn't looking for magic mushrooms no. I just knew very little about that part of nature when I know lots about everything else and I try to learn new things constantly so I decided to go on nature hikes more often and to try to find fungi. I'll say this though the fungi commonly called...

    A public service announcement from your friendly forumite Akratus.

    Not to brag, but I spent one day a week during the warmer months (from April to October) for the last two years hiking and specifically trying to find, photograph, and identify wild fungi. The cap just serves as a structure to hold the gills. The gills produce spores to spread and...
