I got my associates degree
off and on depression
worked at a print shop, mostly printing t-shirts
stopped working at print shop (laid off due to lack of business)
worked at krispy kreme
stopped working at krispy kreme (laid off due to remodeling)
Working at Virginia air and space center. It has its ups and downs
Pro- I go to work in the same building as the Yankee Clipper. Name not sound familiar? Maybe this name will. The command module from Apollo 12. Re-entry burn marks and all.
Con- minimum wage
Various RPGs. not as many as i would like
Some shadowrun. Learned 5e DnD. Got my first experience with world of darkness with Mage: Ascencion. got experience with the newest edition of shadowrun, 5e.
My short review of 5e DnD
really good. Takes the best from 2e, 3.5e, and 4e and makes the best DnD so far
My short review of mage Ascencion
Balance? get that shit out of my face! Magic? its not real. Supernatural? No such thing, only natural. Big Brother? is my friend. Technology? Is what will take Humanity as far as it can dream. Technocracy? Welcome to the right side of the fight.
Game is a lot of fun, and is a lot to wrap your head around. Some of the best fluff i have ever read. My new favorite vanilla setting (sorry eclipse phase)
My short review of 5e Shadowrun
Deep breath
It is... an objectively good game. I would even say it is an objective improvement over 4e. BUT... I dislike it.
everything in the game feels very reasonable. Armor customization is reasonable. Weapon customization is reasonable. character options are reasonable. Its all very sane and reasonable.
But when I play shadowrun I don't want reasonable or sane. I want to stuff my coat full of so much bullshit that Clark's 3rd law comes into play. So i prefer 4e
4e is very easy to brake, and that is its charm. breaking the game is no longer the domain of those with system mastery. We can all break the game. so with some spoke and unspoken agreements we all agree not to ruin the game for each other, and fun is had.
I'm sure you can brake 5e, but not as easily.
Some writing, might share some here
a semi cyoa exploring transgender feelings, and a touch (or armload) of wish fulfillment. unfinished
a story about my shadowrun character, Valkyrie, and her main contact, Jewel Hampson, meeting and doing shadowrun things. Unfinished.
a series of "My utopian fiction and developing fetish for Big Brother" short stories. hiatus. probably wont share those here... ask Canuovea (you can ask me too I guess, but its more fun this way). He's read them all so far... even the one I deemed too dark even for me. It was... err. Word of advice, operant conditioning is not... fun.
My country is in the midst of depression.
come November i can vote for the one I dislike, or the one I hate. yay
My computer has two monitors. that's cool
I play Overwatch. Its great.
I have a guitar. Learning to play
I no longer LARP. Whatever I got out of it before, I just was no longer getting. makes me very sad actually.
I had a kidney stone. Worst pain in my life.
My cat died. I miss my cat
Still not over that I think.
Still wish I had a Vagina, and breasts... and could give birth
slowly trying to decide what to do from there. hormones? surgery? what do?
no clue
But I think I'm at least coming to terms that anatomical appearance and gender identity need not align as society dictates, so ican focus on being me. so thats good.
Movie reviews

then hated it

I went into that theater expecting to have a good time, but not for it to be a star trek movies. the other two have been fun but didn't feel like star trek.
This was loads of fun, AND Felt like the star trek film i had been waiting for.
Go see it
Swiss Army Man
I HATE fart jokes, unless they are metaphors for Self Actualization and freedom in the face of societal pressure.
Laughed so hard at this one
So why did i feel... empty afterward?
Mad Max

Moar pls
Sooooooo goooood
COMICS!
I'm reading Comics again
DC is good again, tho I've only read superman stuff so far
A few comic reviews
Superman
Ok so buckle in for some context.
New 52 rebooted the universe
New superman supermanned
Then he died
But the superman from before the new 52 had come into the new 52, with his wife, Lois Lane, and their son.
So the old Superman comes out of hiding (he was hidden for the sake of his family)
The new superman comic is about new superman raising his son
so
good
Action comics
same as the new Superman comic.
This one currently is covering superman's fight with Doomsday, who showed up suddenly. And everyone is trying to avoid telling his son about what happened last time Superman fought Doomsday
Also in the fight. Lex Luthor, who is wearing power armor, wielding New Gods Tech, and calling himself Superman. He's doing his best to be a good guy. Love it
Wonder Woman. she's cool
New Superman
alright. here we go
New Superman is different from the old superman who replaced the new 52 superman.
New superman is 100% new.
He is a chinese delinquent who has been given the powers of superman by the chinese department of self reliance. He is a chinese knock off of superman. Along with chinese wonder woman, and chinese batman.
Really good first issue. 2nd issues comes out this week.
These are just comics i've read, not ongoing series
Supergods
A classic "this is how the world ends" tale. my favorite genre i find. I for some reason love stories where the world ending is an almost certainty, and the story is about how it happened.
This one is about super human built as weapons in the image of the gods of various cultures and how this ended the world.
really good.
Transmetropolitan
written by warren ellis, who also wrote super gods.
about a future journalist based on hunter S. Thompson. really good
Sandman
just wonderful
Supergirl: Adventures in 8th grade
A comic meant for a younger audience that was more mature and better written then the comics of the time written for adults. really good.
Nimona
A supervillain who's not evil, or even malicious, and his new sidekick who wont stop killing people fight against the government and its hero who are not as nice as they seem. really good
I hang out on 4chan now. Its not as bad as its reputation seems. Everyone thinks of /b/, but there are 40+ other boards.
Thats all I can think of atm. No clue if or how long ill be sticking around, but nice to be here for the time.
if you want me to elaborate on anything just ask.
more detailed movie reviews? sure
Discuss my developing love of theoretical totalitarianism? why not?
Discuss how sexuality seems to have gotten caught up in that last one? that should be fun to explain.
Thoughts on comics? sure.
Politics? Can do
etc...
