Okay, point taken (seriously, I am clueless, right now).

Still, this is feeling like the optimal time to get out of Dodge. I've got some leads I'm following, so here's hoping.

Re: What's Going on with Everyone's Lives

That's rough, buddy. I imagine things at Panera are getting worse because of the private equity firm. They always do. I hope you can find a better position and land on your feet. :( Wait, HAVE we been private equity'd? I've had my suspicions, but haven't dug into it, yet. Oh... Oh, no... https://ww...

Re: What's Going on with Everyone's Lives

I wonder how long they'll last without me covering their backsides? Longer than you'd expect, but not as long as they would like to.

My hours are being cut back (from six a shift to five/four, depending on the day. $12/hour, four shifts a week.

Make Jack Bi, like she was going to be before they got spooked by Fox News. That'd be the big one for me.

Re: Your Dream Game

A proper CRPG based on Call of Cthulhu and using the Basic Roleplaying system. Define CRPG in this context. Eye of the Beholder-style Dungeon Crawler? Disco Elysium overhead Baldur's Gate-alike? Diablo-style Action RPG? Ignoring the BRS-requirement, there are a few coming to mind I'd recommend. Dar...

Re: Your Dream Game

You want my whole list or... Hell, a few of my game concepts: A Duke-Nukem-esque Boomer Shooter featuring a gruff Scotsman saving his scientist boyfriend from an army of robots. A Stylish Action game about a private detective fighting the Cthulhu Mythos for his totally-not-a-Mask-of-Nyarlathotep ben...
