How about a game of Japanese Chess, i.e. Shogi? Now playing Shogi4
Time

The notation is definitely different on Zillions.  Just right-click on the board, and under the "show" option, you select "labels", and all your cells are identified.  I have to be honest that the tiny script has caused issues for me with my poor eyesight, when I incorrectly and without thinking said I'd moved to impossible or stupid squares.  But if your huge blue eyeball has good vision, it shouldn't be a problem for you, and I'll try to be careful when reading.

If you need to B*tch about something... this is the place

Look, it sounds like it could be true, but simultaneously, a number of allegations could easily be bandwagon opportunities.  My point is not that it's false, but that to assume it's true so assuredly is dangerous.

I should add that I suspect that rape culture has actually been popular for quite some time among such sleezebags, and that it has only come to greater light in recent years.

As for "City until proven innocent," I cannot blame my Kindle Fire for this one, but perhaps folks might understand if they bear in mind that I was typing after working all night, and thus being very tired.

What are you reading?
Time

Finally finished the Han Solo Adventures trilogy. I was a bit disappointed with all three. I put it down several months back and only just came back to it, so the disconnect doesn't help. Anyway it was just too slow and the writing style not engaging. Zahn's style isn't the best either, but his stories are so good that les engaging wording doesn't bother me. Daley did well with the radio dramas, but fell short here.

Picked up the Harry Potter books again. Rowling is simply an excellent author. All my efforts not to enjoy her works has failed, as I confess these are wonderful books.

Info & Ideas: ESB and ROTJ Wishlist
Time

For one thing, Tarkin was a Grand Moff, while Jerjerrod was just a Moff.  For another thing, Vader was outside the chain of command as was just a personal enforcer in ANH, but was later placed in the chain of command as of ESB, where he could even order admirals around.  Or perhaps he never was given particular rules, and became more bold in his enforcement by the time ESB and ROTJ came out.

No, mine unfortunately does not line up like that.  I recommend we provide coordinates as in Kokusai Sannin Shogi, with the letters along the top-left and top, and numbers along the top- and bottom-right.  Just put white letters and numbers in the black boxes and it shouldn't be a problem.
