unprovoked, to Genesys

Still thinking about our madcap gaming session last night. The whole group was rolling so many Advantages and very, very few Successes that it just turned into... how to describe it? My net runner was in a slap fight with a scientist dual wielding syringes, and neither of us could land a blow. When we finally got to "let's blow this thing and go home!" it was a blessed relief. #ShadowOfTheBeanstalk #Genesys #TTRPG

Just watched a three-minute video from the CEO of my administrative department and somehow managed to fill five Bullshit Business Buzzword Bingo cards at once.

Cool cool cool. "Precision agriculture has greatly increased the yield of farms, and a 2023 report by the US Department of Agriculture noted that more than 50 percent of corn, cotton, rice, sorghum, soybeans, and winter wheat are planted and harvested with 'automated guidance.'" https://www.404media.co/solar-storm-knocks-out-tractor-gps-systems-during-peak-planting-season/ #Agriculture #SolarStorm

The neighbors think I’m afraid of their dog because every time the dog gets close to me, they follow the dog to me & I move away.

@Binder I do love the drink, but I haven't found the diet version locally for months on end, and it frustrates me greatly.

unprovoked, to 13thAge
@unprovoked@petrous.vislae.town avatar

Gaming group is shifting into 13th Age fairly soon, so I am crafting a Wood Elf occultist who's packing some devious magic and can also mess you up with a long sword. Not exactly sure what I'm trying to get out of my system, but there seems to be a trend forming here.

    The dark matter theory of ActivityPub postulates that 90% of the Fediverse is imperceptible to any individual observer. The best which one can hope for is trying to include the unperceived in your actions.

    Shadow of the Beanstalk: Arce, my liberated enby clone freelancer, spent an off-camera night partying with The Contessa and her entourage. I mean, good on them for sampling what the world has to offer, but I'm worried about how this will come up again. Because surely it will. Anyway, we're set for the next Big Heist.

    @Binder This one time back in the 1900s, I pulled off such a sweet Double-Play Tuesday segue – "In the Dark" to "Don't Say You Love Me" – that coworkers called me at the station to rave about it.

    "no healthy upstream" – in this economy?!

    unprovoked,
    @unprovoked@petrous.vislae.town avatar

    Actually, this is the problem. In this state, a rancher unleashed a "deluge" of sand into a river. And in the next state over, a cooperative spilled liquid nitrogen fertilizer, killing damn near a million fish. So, yeah, no healthy upstream. So it goes.

    I made a request of Prod Support that turns out to involve hard coding changes. They responded with an 18-point questionnaire; from my POV, the answers are largely, "I don't know shit about fuck."

    We run on COBOL/400. Think of me as job security.

    Julia Garner as Ruth Langmore (a short white woman with curly blond hair, wearing a black t-shirt) in the TV series Ozark. In this looping image, she is shouting at someone offscreen, "If you wanna stop me, you're gonna have to..." The dialogue and corresponding caption end there. In the scene, her line concludes, "...fucking kill me!"
