I mostly play video games to switch off and relax. So generally I play single player RPGs on the easiest setting and just explore the world and the story.

I do occasionally play something like PUBG if I’m after some excitement but I don’t have time to master games like I did when I had no responsibilities or kids!

I did think about donating it to the British Museum to preserve it for all of humanity to enjoy. But then I didn’t do that and ate it. I’d say it was definitely an above average flavour punch.

Did you just assume their pronouns?

I’m British!

Played in a virtual TTRPG (every Tuesday). We play Runequest, using the (relatively) new Roleplaying in Glorantha rules. Awesome and epic.

Runequest has been around since 1978 and has always been a distinct alternative to D&D. It features more dangerous and granular combat, a skills-based rather than class-based approach to character building, and (in Glorantha) a deeper, more mythological, and societal-based setting than D&D.

It’s pretty low traffic (ie it’s only me who’s ever posted anything) but come and join me at the Runequest community!

I’m Scottish and don’t know what the fuck % I am.

I’m guessing 67% German, 22% American at this point.

I also understand the sentiment that the internet is effectively a US invention dating back at least to ARPAnet.

Yeah, but this is a website. Sir Tim Berners-Lee represent!

Plus also, English is an English invention.

But otherwise, you’re good.

lingua franca

I love that the real lingua franca, a term from both Latin and Greek roots, literally meaning the language of the Franks (French) is English. Plus, also, fuck you Esperanto!

Heavily inspired by the Sumerian cuneiform but yes

To be fair, we call everyone Cuntface down here.

More like Faceberk, amirite?

Oh. I’m shit out of luck then.

Doofus. I make carbonaaaaaaaara the authentic Italian way. Pretty much.

I don’t use guancale because I can never find it in the store, so I mix it up with Oscar Mayer hotdogs, pepperoni, and some crispy bacon. I don’t use eggs because who’s got time for that shit, so I mostly use mayonnaise. Bucatini and other fancy pastas are for losers so I sub in some tater tots instead of the pasta. And Pecorino Romano is expensive so I generally use Easy Cheese spray and crushed up Cheetos. I don’t add cream, but I do add ketchup which does much the same job. And peas because they give that pop of color and flavor. And obviously some hot sauce because otherwise it’s a bit bland. And some pineapple for that Hawaaaiiain/Italian fusion vibe.

But basically it’s an authentic carbonaaaaaaaara just like you get in Rome. Oh, I like to hit it with a good old splash of A.1. Sauce because why wouldn’t you? I love A.1. Sauce.

Typical Big Bird!

Kleenex owes me an absolute fortune.

Be me.
Be 12.
With my friend, steal a pack of ciggies from his mum.
Smoke a couple in low ground between two fields, surrounded by Meadow Pipits and Chiffchaffs.

Didn’t bother for a fair few years after that. Never really got into it, but enjoyed the acceptable work breaks that came with it for a while. Haven’t smoked more than a cigar or two a year for the last 25 years.

This is not a casual conversation.

Never put off to tomorrow today what you can put off to next week tomorrow.

In my mouth.
