A Farewell to Time-Eaters
or Cold Turkey
or Getting my Act Together
or I'm Just Going to Die First....
or Some Fun Things on the Internet which I've Had Enough Fun with Now and Shall Now Quit Spending Time on
The Lone Wolf gamebooks are online! And there's a tool to keep track on your game statistics and pick random numbers and everything! And I've spent too much time on it...
as on TV Tropes
and as on a certain Swedish role-playing discussion forum, where I learnt about the Lone Wolf thing and have also recently been taking a small part in a Nomic (Wikipedia on Nomic)
as on various things I've linked to earlier on this blog (reading random things on Wikipedia, archive binges on various webcomics, The Customer is not Always Right...)
as on the bloody Facebook application (Lil) Green Patch
and (not recently, but just to mention one more thing I haven't said anything about on the blog) as on Kingdom of Loathing.
All these things can be quite fun (to various degrees, with (Lil) Green Patch very much less fun than anything else mentioned here but, well, you're helping the rainforest and it's sort of cute), and if you have spare time and/or self discipline I actually wholeheartedly recommend you to check them out. I, however, have neither and... as of posting this, with the exception of dying... no, strike that, I'll do that before clicking post... see you in a while
...and quite a while later, "Your life and your quest end here"... so as of posting this, with the exception of naming my nubnik Anna in the rollspel.nu nomic, for at least a year (that would be until March 18 2010), I won't be doing these things, nor things like them. I'll work out the specifics, and probably write something down at some point with the details of what I can and can't do, but I do mean business. This general class of internet time-sink thing shall now be off limits to me.
Ok, so now it's done. Feels pretty good.
