Did you just assume their pronouns?

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.

This is not a casual conversation.

Her Majesty Kentucky, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland Queen, Defender of the Faith, Empress of India?

That’s the first hour. Yes.

Certainly a special entry in the yearbook!

Pizza from a specific pizza place near me. I get the free choice pizza (5 toppings of your choice) but load it with extras. My usual is:

• 15" Deep pan
• Spicy Pork
• Spicy Pork
• Spicy Beef
• Spicy Beef
• Jalapenos

plus.

• Pepperoni
• Ham
• Bacon
• Meatballs
• 2 x doner kebab meat
• Fresh green chillies

I’m hoping one day they’ll name it after me and offer it on the menu.

Rain! Mad for it, I am, our kid. Sorted, safe, I swear down.

If you want to learn how to use chopsticks, get a couple of friends together and order some really nice Chinese food. Serve it in bowls or on plates on a small table with you and your friends gathered around with a pair of chopsticks each.

The rules of the game are simple:

1. you can only eat what you can get to your mouth using chopsticks.
2. you can steal food off someone else’s chopsticks with your own.

You will quickly learn how to use the chopsticks!

I always keep my onions in the refrigerator and never have issues cutting them.

So? How was it?

It’s me slightly misremembering this exchange from Kuffs:

George Kuffs : I’m looking for a really big gun which holds a lot of bullets.
Gun Salesman : God bless you, young man.

Maybe the ‘very fast’ bit comes from a different quote from a different film.

“I want a big gun that fires lots of bullets very fast.”

“God bless you, son!”
