I do agree with Yandere's sentiment that words not wording workingly do be a problem this time of year.

Scratch that, place your bets on polymarket.

Looks like I'll be working on memorial day weekend. And no, this does not mean place any bets on polymarket.

due to a typo on my part I was nearly convinced I owed the IRS nearly $3000 in excess taxes this year.

Bio

-There will be delays in replies. Largely due to working overtime, voluntary obligations; other RPs and online-things may compete for my attention.

'Bout me:
Started RPing (badly) back in '05, mostly doing nation-RPs with an emphasis on technology and strategy, later edging out to character-espionage and military-tactics before doing "less serious" character roleplays that were outside of the 2005-2008 continuity.

That's when I went to Dead-Frontier, and found the RP community there, joined a clan, did some pretty good roleplays and pretty much loosened-up my online-personality. When the clan-leader decided to move her RPs here, most of the clan followed.

Took a course in technical-writing back in '08, so now I may sometimes use the semicolon correctly.

In 2010 I dusted off the old nation-RP continuity I had, doing a few hetelia-esque RP-shenanigans there..

RP-Habbits: I tend to geek-out on little technical-details, and sometimes infer how those details would impact the background of the roleplay. Great for world-building, not so great when you had a perfectly good plotline and I just MacGyver it off the rails (though I usually er to the side of amusement, sometimes it creates very grim side-stories).

Banned for being so stringent on minor details... can't you paraphrase?
What games defined your childhood and why? What aspects of them interested you and how have they shaped your taste? And how do they hold up for you?

Doom 2: This game outsold Windows 95. Everyone had this or claimed to. I had the (registered) game second-hand, complete with manuals, so the backstory was kinda a thing to delve into to figure out what sort of moral drive is needed to push through about two to twelve hours of solid gameplay.

It was this game that forced me to learn DOS command prompts... that or Descent...

Descent: Destination Saturn: Doom 2's theoretically better cousin. Wasn't as-popular due to hardware acelerated 3D graphics and computer-networking not being up to par, and people good at the game not knowing how to set those things up themselves (and vice-versa)

The music was also awesome. Can't quite talk about the TOS-1 Burritimo MLRS without thinking about the soundtrack for level 2.

That and the soundblaster test:
Seven.

Class 1 driller can eat my shiny green ionized plasma.

Raptor: Call of the Shadows K, everybody over a certain age knows this game. It was a widely distributed shareware known for being pretty good arcade-style fun with good music to boot... although the goal was often to cause so many explosions on-screen to cause the sound-card to brickwall for great justice.
Cannon-Fodder Kinda hits hard when you just barely manage to clear a mission, only to be confronted by all the characters that had to die because you kept screwing-up, all to somber music. Followed immediately by the mockingly-upbeat intro to the next mission-briefing.

It came from the Desert / Antheads + Indiana Jones and the last Crusade (PC):
Literally the first video games I played back on my uncle's PC.
And I was planning on making a wisecrack ICly about Kiss-Shot not having a TOS-1 Burritimo in her back-pocket...
