How would you all feel if an actual internet stranger offered to translate your fic? I got a request for someone to translate it into Russian and idk if there is anything I should be wary of.

I think I would be okay with it. Honestly Id be flattered someone liked it so much they want to share with others who dont read English. But Ive also never had it happen so I dont know. I would at least make sure they credit it to you and make sure they link it back to you.

I realize I was firmly in #humblebrag territory 😬 I didn't mean to come off that way, I was just nervous about letting someone translate my work and not knowing what the end result actually conveys vs what I wrote.

For those who are in to that sort of thing, it's free rpg day. Look for a local participating game store and get free stuff! We're hoping to score the new We be Goblins and Starfinder scenarios.

H and I have decided to start trying out training with escrima sticks. Pretty much based on my insistence, heis already really familirar with martial arts so I think it will be fun us to learn together. Im very excited actually. Even though I know it wont be as glamorous as Arrow makes it seem.

So the unspeakable happened. My oldest niece spilled water into my H's $4,000 gaming PC last night, right through the fan vent on top right onto his brand new video card. I watched the lights on his keyboard and mouse shut off and his monitor go black.
There were tears and unspeakable rage. I dont even know what to do, that thing was his baby. I mean He loves three things in this world. Me, DS, and that computer. We are letting it dry out completely and plug it in and pray to everything in the universe that it works.

Holy shit mischief , I hope it survives. You and me both. If it doesnt I might move out. Right now the plan is just to keep letting it dry out, I have it sitting under the constant air flow of the swamp cooler but Im not very optimistic. Its even worse because its like the one thing H has thats his, ya know? He doesnt want or need much but that is his precious. And he has always been like no kids near it ever, but we have been letting her watch youtube during the day sometimes and it blew up spectacularly in my face.

I don't know what MH loves more his computer or his car, but either way he would be livid if something like that happened. Is it just the video card? I know video cards are $$$$$$. Also, I know a lot of mh's parts are warrantied, not usually for water but on a 2k card id act stupid. Because holy fuck that's a lot of money.

They were both wet. Its even worse because the price on the video card has gone up a bit and it was expensive to begin with. The levels of rage he has right now are out of control, which I cant blame him. He honestly cant even look at DN1, he hasnt yelled or anything but I know he wants to break something. This is his pride and joy and I dont know how to fix this. This is why I shared here. I knew you guys would get it.

Just throwing ideas out because I'd be the same way in that situation, how do I fix it now or hide and pretend it never happened. 1. Pray to all the video game gods it works again 2. Contact the company and try for a warranty replacement 3. Find a used replacement 4. Buy a plane ticket and move to the other side of the country for a couple of weeks I'm about to hyperventilate on your behalf. The motherboard and the video card are like 90% of the cost. Why couldn't it have been like a fan or something.

All excellent suggestions sheilathetank, I am leveraging 1&4 right now. But warranty is a good idea, Im not sure how long hes had it so maybe we can get lucky. And as picky as he is I would rather just have him get a new one so I dont have to listen to him whine, which hey honestly cool with me.

We've lucked out a few times when we thought they'd never warranty it. So it's worth a shot. Even with minimal whining, you know this is going to be a "thing" now.
