Oz @theemeraldwizard.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I feel sorry for the folks who enjoyed the food. It may just be what was ordered the one time I went, but everything was boiled and I got horribly ill afterwards, and the wife couldn't convince me to go back. I need to try one of the Somali joints up here. 010
Oz @theemeraldwizard.bsky.social · 27/09/2026They are to the same people who think worchesterschire sauce is spicy, or salsa should be sweet... also, the autocorrect couldn't even come up with Worcestershire for me when I mangled it above. It knew it was wrong, but had no suggestions. 010
Oz @theemeraldwizard.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Noo... I liked him... that is an incredibly asshole opinion. I've sat as the hiring manager or on the panel for hundreds of interviews. I dont give a shit if the candidate brings a (non alcholic) drink. Eating during the interview is 1 thing, but you're just going to offer them coffee/water anyway. 030
Oz @theemeraldwizard.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I'm surprised you didn't mention Why, Arizona. North Carolina, incidentally, has a Whynot. No relation between the names, but small, slightly amusing stories behind each. Or the Sahara Desert (Desert Desert). Do a translator search on what you're naming, and then pick the word from another language. 101
Oz @theemeraldwizard.bsky.social · 23/09/2026And yes, at this point in my life I recognize the irony that the bottom of the totem pole is actually the place of honor. 020
Oz @theemeraldwizard.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Is it weird that I'm pissed off for them? For years I've made fun of furries as the bottom of the geek totem pole, but I see that and my first reaction is "Fuck you, you pedo-propping, cousin-fucking, bedsheet wearin, cross-burnin cretin." They're on OUR totem pole, you keep your ignorant trap shut. 2110
Oz @theemeraldwizard.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I have a joke about Paranoia XP, but it doesn't see much use what with everyone already always smiling. Because, of course, happiness is mandatory, citizen. How did you not know that? 🤔 010
Oz @theemeraldwizard.bsky.social · 20/09/2026...expression observing the proceedings. Other introverted/shy people will be drawn by the low barrier to conversation entry with you, and others will assume you are more important than you are and come in to try and figure out what your deal is. Weed through those for an interesting convo. 011
Oz @theemeraldwizard.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Depends. If th event has an actual MC/host, when they greet you they should pull enough info to put you with people who have common interests. But those people are rare and most hosts are lazy. Failing that I like to fall back on Elder vampire 101. Sit alone somehere visible with a half amused... 110
Oz @theemeraldwizard.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Welcome to why I hung up my own consulting sign. Taming chaos is engaging. Running day to day is boring. 110

Oz @theemeraldwizard.bsky.social · 22/05/2026TIL that there is insurance a man can buy to cover hiring housework services if his wife falls ill or passes. The cognitive dissonance. I can comprehend not wanting to, I can grok grief and despair rendering one temporarily unable, but I can't understand being unable/unwilling to learn those things. 100
Oz @theemeraldwizard.bsky.social · 30/04/2026Not a UI one. I just scroll down to the last one I marked read and then scrolling up from there. I have a special feed for the people I know in meat space so manual is doable. 010
Oz @theemeraldwizard.bsky.social · 30/04/2026Nevermind. What I get from reading my feed top down instead of bottom up. 110

Oz @theemeraldwizard.bsky.social · 13/02/2026Batting around class/actor combo ideas for a muppet D&D movie (Sorcerer/ScarJo voiced by Gonzo?) with my wife and she pitched Kermit as the DM.

Oz @theemeraldwizard.bsky.social · 06/01/2026I managed to score a copy of the 1980's Civilization board game that inspired Sid Meier to create the video game. With a 5-12 hour play time, playing it back in college was an all day backyard BBQ event. Good times. Gotta get the house cleaned up and hopefully I can find enough people to recreate. 030

Oz @theemeraldwizard.bsky.social · 24/11/2025Today I wrapped up a run-through of the Horror On The Orient Express campaign for my Call of Cthulhu group. 16 months, ~70 sessions, over 200 hours. Fun, but I'm ready to turn over the GM baton for a bit. Now I just need to scare up at least two more players for a Shadowrun game I've been planning. 040

Used to be able to beat it in 8 - 10 hours, but they added enough content to up that to 16. 10/10 nostalgia. 081
