@grueproof@fosstodon.org

Based in suburbia between Cleveland and Akron OH, USA. Coder by day, game master by night.

I am all about a good story: hearing, witnessing, or creating. Tabletop RPGs are my medium of choice. I consume books voraciously.

I believe in both the power of privacy and the power of sharing. People over profits. We must hang together or surely we will hang separately.

A Pause for Station Identification:

I'm Chris Miller. I've been doing stuff on the internet since running a BBS in 1987. I write code for a living.

I've been an RPG author, a podcaster, a writer, an editor, a coffee roaster, an amateur brewer, a corporate manager, a golf club assembly-line worker, a wizard, and a father and husband.

I'm a moderator here on Fosstodon, and I love supporting a community focused on .

I try to keep it positive. If you follow me, I hope to make you smile.

    Good morning friends. Today is a day of routine maintenance on my main lappy, patches and upgrade for the server, and general shoring up of things to make sure everything keeps working securely. I wish I had a snappy hashtag for this.

    How are you this fine day?

    (This is a drop-in unit, and is wired directly into the wall, else I would just unplug it. But to do so I need to disassemble and remove the unit. And I have to go to work. This is just silly, Life. Stop it.)

    in Starfield's character creator I tried to make someone that looked a bit like me.

    Looking at him in game I realise that instead I've just made space Niko Bellic.

    @Three_Kobolds I did the same. Now there is some bearded tubby Irish-looking dude running around with space powers and that can't end well.

    I made it. Incisions and my throat hurt. Apparently intubation didn't go well. It hurts to talk or swallow. Doctor says it was successful and I'm still above the soil.

    Happy Friday!

    I'm back home in Edinburgh after almost two weeks in Greece. The wedding went really well and it was such a pleasure to have so many friends and family with us.

    Now I'll be chilling with my wife for the weekend and I'll get back to things come Monday.

    Hope you're all doing well.

    It's been a minute. So many new folks have come on board. Welcome y'all. We're glad you're here. As unofficial chairman of the nonexistent welcoming committee, it's time I fulfill my fiduciary duty and send my standard greeting.

    People get so excited when they think they've caught me making a typo.

    The teaser for this week's podcast is "Say hwat?" because "hwat" is Old English.

    I actually kind of hate to dispel them of the idea that they've caught me because it seems to give them so much joy.
