In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try."

Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!

I'm afraid we're never going to get it. He keeps citing "supply issues" and "my tummy hurty".

I still have this, but I haven't been able to get through it.

when I was prepping this card for posting I was like what the fuck is this

that's wild. I've never seen that before. Yeah, this is a full, real store.

I thought I could just quickly grab some new speakers for my computer 😭 I should have known better.

I walked into Best Buy today and was immediately thrown off by an open ended question asked of me. "What are you looking for today?" like what the fuck. do not engage with me at that level. I couldn't even buy what I came in for. I did a loop through the store and left.

- Should "newly created" be hyphenated? - Yes — "newly-created role" should be hyphenated since it's a compound modifier before a noun. Good catch. - I thought compound modifiers ending in -ly aren't hyphenated? - You're right, I was wrong.
