The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

[J.Quondam]

The group I playas mostly matuistics; and several were versed in various ochysics, plus some medied with in college in the mid-0s weval history and lingcult topics. On top of that, a few of them had already been playing for oped the crusty sheen of the silverback grognard. Practically ing* was up for "spiritgot a bug up their to20 years at that point, so those had even develokus.

Fun... but good gaerable bunch on occwd! they could be an insuffanythed debate" if someone asion.



* Yes, even pizza toppings. Especially pizza toppings.

I know I shouldn't engage in these "science vs. fiction" arguments that go nowhere. But I'm a civil engineer, specializing in water resources...I design and construct large-diameter water pipelines. The properties, behavior, and mechanics of water is my Whole Deal.

What I hear you saying is that you want to be tagged every time people discuss sewer adventures.

(Actually, I bet sewers are probably one of the least interesting ways to put your real-life knowledge in a game.)

For what its worth, that tends to be a problem for most people who have a really in-depth understanding of a particular subject, especially an
engineering or natural sciences one; fiction often takes liberties here, and most people can just shrug and move on (if they know It Doesn't Work That Way at all) but a specialist is just going to struggle here. This applies to movies, TV shows and games particularly.

Yeah, there are whole movies and TV shows I have to grind my teeth through. I suspect most people have that reaction to when their profession is on screen. (Although I guess screenwriters probably portray the screenwriting business accurately.)

Some really unexpectedly gross turns today on the threads.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Guess it was your time, buddy. Congrats. I guess.

Unless it's a digital clock

Dang...I'm sorry to hear that, slider. I'll light a candle for ya.

Yea! Snarf needs to shorten his posts! Immediately. For my ego.

Indeed. @Snarf Zagyg is the only one that can take a whole thread to say what anyone else could say in a few words. Yet the way he meshes it together is so hypnotic that I can’t help but look for his next post.

Basically he’s a bard.

I laugh, but I'm getting a new PC next week, and the thing I'm dreading most is switching out all the cables.

my PC’s usually wield swords and shields not cables.

That one is too easy, who am I to judge a man for the amount of plastic in his closet or on his desk, or stacked around his house?!

Glass Houses and all that.

No serious miniature enthusiast would live in a glass house - it just doesn't have the structural integrity to support the stacks of boxes piled up to the ceiling in every room...

I know I shouldn't engage in these "science vs. fiction" arguments that go nowhere. But I'm a civil engineer, specializing in water resources...I design and construct large-diameter water pipelines. The properties, behavior, and mechanics of water is my Whole Deal.

Decades later I still get the urge to gnash my teeth when thinking of the party of engineers who voluntarily TPK'd themselves because I accidentally described an ice bridge that wouldn't actually hold the weight of the party...

Truly, nobody has ever been persecuted like those who like pineapple on pizza. The most oppressed minority.

Except, that's not true. Grow up and just move on with the fact that you like a niche pizza flavour for goodness's sake. You're not fighting a moral battle when you're discussing pizza.
