  • I can't play with my friend because we play the same guy.

    Both rogue. Both street tough types rather than the shadowy assassin type. Both used to end up taking a couple of levels of either Bard or fighter and ended up with a swashbuckler. No strength, all dex and cha.

    We did play together a few times and would swap out which one of us got to play that guy. The other always played a very angry wizard. Just grumpy as shit. Good at a lot of things, but preferred to either fireball or magic missile his way out of situations. Talking to NPCs? I think I've got potions brewing. Must be off!

    Before we played together we played the same MUD separately. Yep, same character. We ran into each other from time to time.

    In high school we played at the same place but a couple of years apart. I started going when he left for the Navy. The guy who DM'ed there said my character reminded me of that guy a lot.

    I want to play BG3 with him remotely and both play swashbucklers.

  • I had a boss like this. Every so often when we had something that needed to be done I'd remind him of his previous idea (which didn't exist) that we all thought was so good and he's the bestest and smartest manager ever.

    It was so easy to get whatever I wanted done.

  • But you're not jamming with the console cowboys there, as much as I wish that happened. I guess I should have hacked the Gibson harder.

    On an entirely related note, theoretically there will be a Neuromancer TV show next year.

  • We definitely had ridiculous slang in the 80s and 90s, but the truth is I always felt like the media over-played it trying to sound cool. And when we'd over-play it amongst ourselves it was as a way to laugh at adults.

    Can you jam with the console cowboys in cyberspace? Cowabunga. Some of my favorite stuff had excessive references to skateboarding, roller blading, or other Xtreme sports (Hackers, anyone?) and that's coming from a guy who used to be a part of that scene.

    Maybe I'm wrong. If I am that wouldn't be fetch.

    Edit: my drunk ass doesn't know the difference between all of the 80s and 89.

  • You ain't wrong, but I said the same thing about him. Almost exactly. The biggest difference is I wouldn't have to hold my nose to vote for Bernie, I genuinely like the dude and my policy quibbles come down to quibbles.

    Rant incoming.

    Hell, the DNC may run Bernie now that he's old enough. Or they'll pick a cop to lead the ticket where their side doesn't like or trust the police. Anything as long as they don't win. Their last big winners were Obama and Clinton, both of which were in their 40s. Can't make that fucking mistake again I guess. Even on the R side it's been middle aged people rather than geriatric motherfuckers since Reagan until Trump. When the fuck did someone decide that you can't be president unless you were a billion years old? I want someone who represents the future and wants to take us there, not someone whose slogan is "I've seen the future, and it's a better past....which I also saw because I lived through all of human history".

  • I grew up poor as hell. I broke the cycle in my family just in time to have to deal with this shit. My garden is looking like it's going to do well this year and if meat starts getting scarce I can go hunting from time to time or get some yard birds from the friends I get my eggs from, but god damn (or maybe I'll go vegetarian, wouldn't be the first time), I just wanted a little more time not having to live hand to mouth.

    But I'll make it as long as flour doesn't get to be the price of beef. And I'll complain the whole fucking time.

  • I hereby crown you King Wing, the manliest of all people!

    (This was supposed to be light-hearted, but I realized after reading it that it sounds like I'm mocking you....I promise I'm not).
