I’m just a weird, furry, pan guy (cis he/him). I also have a big, blue username.
The way people play and enjoy D&D varies so wildly, I don’t think just popping into a random game with random people would necessarily be fun 90% of the time.
Maybe I’m a Mony Haul type campaign enjoyer and everyone is running their super serious, extra dark and edgy medieval simulation. I would be bored out of my mind during all those 8 hour long fictional political debate sessions. I wanna hit things with various sticks and win fabulous prizes! 😩
I agree with both. It is lazy, yes. But it is also meant to be fun, and Shadowrun is a particularly goofy game (cyberpunk, with fantasy creatures, ghosts, gods, and magic? How can you take it seriously?) so being a super solid story isn’t extremely important. It’s also literally the first suggestion in the rulebook for getting players to cooperate. 🤣
Not recently, but I had bought a USB GPS unit for my laptop back in the mid 2000’s specifically for war-driving, mapping, and cracking the weak-ass encryption of early Wifi routers to share with a community of travelers when free wifi hotspots weren’t really a thing.
Makes sense to me. Don’t male snakes have 2 dicks?
I like the idea of AI, as in an actual intelligence made by human hands. Everything we currently have that is called AI is not the kind of AI I am interested in. And the kind of AI being foisted upon the general public is, by and large, the worst kind of tech with the AI moniker. At least NPCs in a video game simulate intelligence, or try to, without actually being intelligent. Generative LLM type AI doesn’t even simulate intelligence. It simulates language.
I feel called out by this… I often think “I don’t need someone who loves me, I mean I do, but what I really need is someone I love for real.” Stupid BPD makes me fall in love at first sight with anyone who treats me like a person, but then it eventually fades and I realize I don’t actually like them all that much. 😩
You mean the player character’s bomb, right?
No. 😈
That’s why it’s pretty common in Shadowrun to just have everyone be kidnapped and fitted with a bomb in their skull.
If their character doesn’t want to cooperate, you activate the player’s brain bomb.
No chat service has felt as good to use as mIRC. I don’t care about voice, video, stickers or other bullshit. I want to chat and have scripts telling people what music I am listening to on WinAmp. 😩
Sometimes I don’t know if I am actually depressed, or if it’s just that video games mostly suck now. Or both. I barely can be arsed to play anything, and even when I do I feel nothing. 😔
So taking this would be all side effects and no benefits
So it’s basically the same as Prozac? 😩
Why don’t they just prescribe this instead of stuff that doesn’t help and also breaks your penis? 😬
"He’s p—ed off at the soldiers,” Wolff said. “He’s accusing them of hamming it up, and by that, he seems to mean that they were having a good time, that they were waving, that they were enjoying themselves and showing a convivial face rather than a military face.”
The Disaster in Chief doesn’t even know what the fuck “hamming it up” means. 🤦♂️
I think they’re morons and trolls.
Being patriotic/nationalistic doesn’t require having your shit together. If anything, it’s the opposite of that.
Heading Out

Oh so it’s my mom trying to “leave” a function.
I have BPD to deal with and that makes it even more complicated. In addition to all the same things you mention (reclusive, socially distant/awkward, aversion to drinkers, etc) I also have to deal with becoming too obsessive and burning out on a person even if I like them. I have a tendency to fall in love at first sight and then slowly sour on the relationship and feel trapped. It’s a tightrope and I have no balance. 😩
Idk if it’s controversial, but I’ve always hated the layout of that site. It seemingly has not changed in decades, either, looking at it now.
I can’t think of a single beauty standard I do like. Everyone is beautiful in some way. Even the people who are regarded as ugly by the majority.
Do soulslikes count? They’re basically the same, except you don’t unlock new paths by gaining new abilities. You just beat up optional bosses and, maybe, need to find keys.
