How I arrived on Bluesky

Every office I have ever worked at in Sweden that has complimentary tea selections.

A four panel comic, modified from The Simpsons screenshots with incorrect captions.
Panel 1: Homer looks at a box of Neapolitan ice cream (chocolate, icecream, and vanilla). The caption reads "Mmm... tea" and the box is labelled "English Breakfast" and "Earl Grey" over the chocolate stripe, "Fruit" and "More Fruit" over Vanilla, and "Green" and "Yet More Fruit" over strawberry.
Panel 2: Homer opens the box and sees the chocolate section of the box has been completely eaten while the other two stripes remain untouched. The caption reads "D'oh!"
Panel 3: Homer angrily looks over his shoulder yelling for someone. It is captioned "Office Manager?"
Panel 4: Homer continues his demand. It is captioned "We need more tea"

My friends are bad influences on me and are trying to get me to go see a star war

Public Discord conversation between Nick (hiscursedness, currently with the discord alias "The Only Cis Ally") and myself:

Nick: Keith I regret to inform you that you must get the star wars Vkc Michaelis game

Me: ugh but it's star wars -_-

Nick: I'm afraid it also has bonds, assist shots, permadeath as standard, a gruelling economy, and destructible cover :(

Me: ugggggghhhhh damn... do I have to care about anything outside the original trilogy to play it?

Nick: I think its set just before the empire takes over, but in general I assume not

Me: do any of them turn out to be jeddy? I bet very bored of the jeddy

Yeah. The book is on Kowloon Walled City. It's a series of documentary photos and a grand diorama. Comes with maps and everything

A map and a series of photos taken by Japanese urban explorers investigating KWC after its people were evicted but before its demolition

I know you like to bring up the DataKrash as a concept but...

Three paragraphs from the RPG cyberpunk V3. Reading as follows:
One more thing. And so ended the Age of the Net-- except for one nasty sidebar. In the early days of the DataKrash, Arasaka Security realized what was going on and decided that if anyone was going to control history they were going to be the ones. So the wily Saburo Arasaka set up his own secure database removed from the net entirely -- ans spent millions of dollars to purge all trades of alteration

The Alpha Secure Database was located in the base of the newly constructed Arasaka Towers in Night City, protected by guards, encryptions, some one of the first experimental nanobased constructs and - the piece de resistance - a 2 kiloton nuclear device set to wipeout the towers in the event security was breached. With a staggering twenty years of Arasaka intelligence gathering stored in the only DataKrash free computers in existence, this database would have given Arasaka an unshakable grip on the next phase of the information age.

In addition Arasaka cooked up another special treat for anyone with hardcopy records- books, papers, notes -- to whit a bioengineered virus. The virus attacked paper -- in particular the acid free papers that bad been steadily replacing the older acid based papers used previous to the 1970s. Guess what they did with it?

Yep. Got it in one, didn'tcha?

It's hour one of Develop Conference day and I've already bumped into one person who I've only ever talked to online and they're cool. Yay :) Say hi if you see me!

Anyway after about forty five minutes they spotted it. And they were VERY upset with me (I'd also hidden numbers in the diary entries that accompanied the puzzle which also spelt out the order without having to see this but this was so much more vindictive)

The same scribble of the ship but with hidden numbers highlighted in digital green pen; the main sail has a 1, the aft cabin has a 2, a 3 is hidden in the fore, a 4 makes up the mizzenmast, a 5 is formed out of the back of the ship and a wave, and rudder is a 6, the bowsprit a 7 and the anchor is a sideways 8

Two years later, in the same campaign, I have thrown those players into a puzzle room, with a picture of a ship upon the wall and some diary entries. I even gave them a scribble of what the painting of the ship looked like

A crude scribbled representation of a painting of a ship on graph paper, titled The Effervescent Meteorite and signed by a fictitious painter

I'm in a book! Well. The acknowledgements section anyway :) (Yay @mtrc.bsky.social; book just arrived albeit a little damaged. Gonna read through it all now :D )

A copy of the book "Next Level; Making Games That Make Themselves" by Mike Cook

Text from the acknowledgements section, the pertinent bit reading "Similarly, I'm indebted to the people who have given their time to support the community over the years; to everyone who has ever spoken at an event I organised, to Hectate and Kayn for binding the PROCJAM community together for a decade,..."

My brother built me an MTG Commander deck last year for christmas/birthday and I got to finally go and pick it up last weekend. It tripped airport security and they had to swab the deck protectors. I honestly can't imagine why

An orange card game deck box containing a hundred orange sleeved Magic: The Gathering Cards for a Commander deck. The card at the front, showing the Commander of the deck, is "The First Sliver" which has a casting cost of one mana of each colour.

The joke is that Slivers are uniformly hated across all of magic and so bringing this as your Commander implies the entire deck is a five color Sliver is such poor form and sportsmanship that it must be stopped at all costs, including airport security.

Never mind Cantor Vantis all is forgiven

Part of a trading end screen from Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator showing a line graph with two lines; a blue one reading Baby Value that steadily trends upwards before crashing at the end, and a yellow one that is labelled Invested Stocks, which rises to it's maximum very early, and then tapers off slowly just as the blue value reaches maximum.

The average stock price was 921,502, the average sale price was 1,274,129. The total profit was 20,023,238.

This book. I blame this book for the way I turned out. Bonus points: you can get them all here usborne.com/row/books/co...

The cover of a book named "Computer SpaceGames: For ZX Spectrum, ZX81, BBC, TRS-80, APPLE, VIC & PET". The main image is of a series of pulp space ships engaged in a dogfight over a colony ship that has landed on a brown crater ridden planet, with inset pictures of the 1980's style games that could be programmed with the book.
