I think I need to go do some Team Fortress modding or something. ;-) It's a hacking thing.  Excercising my brain, all that stuff.  Also, we've got a little girl who would be very interested in being able to dress up her monsters, if only I could find a way to access the files on her tablet.  Unfortunately, the app's files seem to be well hidden from the tablet's regular file explorer, and I'm still working on "rooting" my Android simulator (in the non-Aussie sense).

Added later: And so what?  Per the Doctor, "There's no point in being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes." One thing I've been trying to teach our little girl is to not let other people tell her what's fun and what isn't, especially things like "you're too old to still like that". Well, I had not thought of the 'paper dolls' perspective, and I guess it could be kind of like that, but I see it more as using one's computer skills to modify one's virtual monster world to be more fun. Like the Shuga-rainbow. You two are way better than I at that stuff, and I appreciate that you are willing to share.

And I get just as much (different kind of) fun from going to the range with my Colt 1911 and Smith .357, if in need of more manly fun ;-)

btw the Hoolas remind me of my granddaughters, who I try to have nonstop fun with :-D
