Oh, hey, someone left this people catapult under a rug. Better see if I can't get into that group...

Re: Not-So-Mith'd Opportunity: Random Banter # 222
*pokes the storm ridden and all communications ceased tropical island towards you*
I wish I had the chance to play in the offline world, but no can do right now. But I'm facilitating a Fiasco game (Pirate themed, arr!) at Ropecon, the Finnish rpg con this July. And I really hope I can get into a Cyberpunk session!
Also, it'd of course be ideal to play a PbP where people have a relatively same time zone as me, but so far the players are all located in Canada and here I sit, in Finland, after midnight, with no sense of night as the greyish blue sky stares at me. Discord-game would be nice, but, hmm, Discord OOC would work with the players as they share a timezone.Last edited by FinnLassie; 2019-06-20 at 04:17 PM.

Hey, that's mine! Hands o-
Er, I mean, I have never seen that catapult or carpet before in my life.
Thankfully, I've actually lucked out with having a few groups that've managed to stick together, where we electronically GM for each other. So it actually manages to slake my thirst for games. And interactions with friends.Okay, that's a lie, I'm always up for more interactions with friends. I'm broken that way.
Edit:
Oh, neat! That sounds like fun. And good luck with getting into the game you want! I'm a large advocate of anything that has "cyber" in the name.Last edited by DataNinja; 2019-06-20 at 04:17 PM.

We once built a catapult, us crazy 16-year-olds, in our scout troop. Jfc that was 10-11 years ago. We even got funding from the city for it. It still baffles me.
Edit:
I see we're having a wonderful ninja conversation...
Fiasco is super fun, and I love facilitating it. I also tend to run my games in English, because well, there's foreign visitors as well. Couple of years back we had a dude from Colorado, and thanks to me watching Fargo I had caught a norn Minnesota accent. He was quite amused by it.
If you haven't, have a look at Cyberpunk. It's so interesting, especially how it treats people when they get more and more android-like, losing their human parts, upgrading themselves with technology. And addiction. And stuff!Last edited by FinnLassie; 2019-06-20 at 04:21 PM.

Man, we're all just editing past each other here.
Ouch. Yeah, I very much know the pain of having players not in the same timezone as you. It's not the best. Workable, but it does tend to slow things down. No frantic bursts of activity. I do highly recommend the discord, though, for OOC, even if you're only occasionally on at the same time. It really does do wonders.

Re: Not-So-Mith'd Opportunity: Random Banter # 222
It's a small big world?
Unrelated to that (but it just reminded me of) I recall visiting some place for vacation, when I saw a hat with a label for an (admittedly quite famous) tourist attraction back home. Took me a few moments to realize '...wait a second, that's not a normal thing to be seeing out here', and turns out the man and his wife were from England, and had visited Victoria a few years back. Had a neat little conversation.

(Dystopic and all can be cool, too. I'm just a sucker for bright colours, I think. )
Hey, hey, hey. I'm west coast Canada. As far away from that accent as you can get.
...touché.Last edited by DataNinja; 2019-06-20 at 04:33 PM.

Re: Not-So-Mith'd Opportunity: Random Banter # 222
That's fair, I suppose. The heart cares for what the heart cares for.
Nah. Then at least I wouldn't remember it.
Generally, but it all depends. If you're lucky, you might not hit something vital. ...huh, sounds a lot like a human, really.
Hmmm. I wonder what the average ratio for knives-sticking-in-to-cause-nonfunction is between computers and humans. For, uh, for Science. Purely for science.

Re: Not-So-Mith'd Opportunity: Random Banter # 222
I haven't had this confirmed, but I have heard that lobsters were of once great importance to nerve studies due to their anatomy being easy to study for neurological purposes. Of course, said scientist would have a freshly killed lobster on their hands and more than one account exists of someone trying to invite people of their choice to lobster dinners afterwards...

Re: Not-So-Mith'd Opportunity: Random Banter # 222
Huh, that's an interesting fact. I think I did hear that tidbit about lobsters being good for that kind of testing before, but not the note about the dinner. But... in retrospect, that makes very much sense. Dinner on the lab's dime, and all that.

Re: Not-So-Mith'd Opportunity: Random Banter # 222
It all depends, really. Some systems are mostly wiring, fragile chips, and other assorted life giving things. Whereas robots tend to end up having a bit more 'dead space' in them, full of stuff that's happily resistant to getting stabbed by something so small. Especially ones that aren't androids. There are far better ways to build bots than fitting to the human form... but, alas, oftentimes things are limited by "aesthetics", "familiarity" and "needing to use stuff built for humans".
(Okay, aesthetics is a pretty good human trait, I'll need to admit.)Last edited by DataNinja; 2019-06-20 at 09:39 PM.
