[Hivemind] Wake up, Fishy! Why are you sleeping!?

[Dungannon]

*looks at his empty wallet*
*looks at his disapproving wife*

Damn, you guys are lucky. Wish I had the time and/or money to make to either Origins or GenCon.

 

[HellHound]

Uhmmm... dunno?

What Hivemind?

 

[Dungannon]

What's this Hivemind you speak of, sonny?

Hard to explain, really. Basically it's a thread where you can "chat" with other ENWorlders who wander in, only it's not really "realtime".

 

[HellHound]

Dungannon: Yep, I have the advantage of an approving wife. Oh yeah, and gaming geek daughters too. So GenCon is our family summer outing.

Our expensive family summer outing, mind you.

The Children are twenty somethings from our gaming group and even though they are not that much younger then us, they behave like children. There must be a maturity line or something between 26 and 29 cause they are just something else. Well, I guess some of them are only 20 or 21, but still.

There is a maturity line there? I think some people skip out of it.

The people I've gamed with throws that concept into whack. I am only 24, but I would like to think I'm one of the more mature members of our current group (orchid will surely correct me if I'm wrong). I am, at least, considered an old fuddy duddy a lot of the time.

Roughly half of the less mature players I've gamed with have been 30+. The award for least mature is tied between a teenager and a guy in his 40s. I tend to think that the older guy was worse. Maybe that's just because I expect the older players to be more mature.

I know about 'children'... remember that I am incredibly Age-ist. If yer under 25, I won't trust you. I'm working on fixing that, but people keep reminding me that there is a reason I'm ageist.

I've still got another year then. I totally understand how you feel though, I'm ageist too, a little bit. I usually hate being around people my own age. The people I've met here and on randomling's boards have been exceptions though, and I consider myself and exception as well. But considering that my ex-girlfriend was a 40-year-old child, I've lightened up just a bit.

That's Burning Man for me, most years. My parents sometimes go, and if I have a girlfriend at the time she almost always goes out there with me. Good times.

 

[HellHound]

Nice. Burning man is too expensive for us to make it anymore.

BTW, please NO ONE read more into my ageism comment. I may be ageist, but the lot of you certainly prove that age is not really the determining factor.

At last, I am able to update my Steam & Steel link in my sig

Thanks, HH!

Good morning hive. I'm up ridiculously early for someone who doesn't have to work today.
