[Fri Jun 18 00:45:13 2021] Firbolg >> Explosively [Fri Jun 18 00:45:16 2021] Thermite >> My name's thermite because I can't spell. In the grammatical sense [Fri Jun 18 00:45:39 2021] Thermite >> Man, horses are delicious [Fri Jun 18 00:46:06 2021] Firbolg >> Jokes aside there is a big horseriding tradition in Ireland, but I never learned. [Fri Jun 18 00:46:14 2021] Stake >> Shame [Fri Jun 18 00:46:15 2021] Firbolg >> Hell if you want to teach me Liz I'm not against the idea. [Fri Jun 18 00:46:24 2021] Stake >> I don’t ride either [Fri Jun 18 00:46:34 2021] Stake >> I am not a cowgirl, I’m a smuggler from Texas [Fri Jun 18 00:47:28 2021] Stake >> Have I rustled cattle? Yes, yes I have. Did I grow up on a ranch? Well, also yes. Do I use classic weapons one associated with westerns and do I wear a Stetson? Yes on all counts. But that don’t make me a cowgirl! [Fri Jun 18 00:47:36 2021] Firbolg >> See, what you should have done is said yes, tricked me into going, gotten me onto the horse and recorded the travesty to be for entertainment value. [Fri Jun 18 00:47:39 2021] Charon >> Um [Fri Jun 18 00:47:54 2021] Firbolg >> Also, Yes it does. [Fri Jun 18 00:48:05 2021] Charon >> Sort of does, yeah.

[Fri Jun 18 00:54:39 2021] Tombstone/Pain Train/NV-OC >> That way I can synchronize it with my suit and coat. [Fri Jun 18 00:54:45 2021] Firbolg >> No. No. Keep it normal. [Fri Jun 18 00:54:54 2021] Charon >> It would be one of them ones with the corks [Fri Jun 18 00:55:03 2021] Charon >> So I dunno what you're on about Tezza [Fri Jun 18 00:55:35 2021] Stake >> Electrochromic Stetson??

[Fri Jun 18 00:56:14 2021] Firbolg >> Maybe I'll start wearing a flat cap [Fri Jun 18 00:56:32 2021] Stake >> You get one that changes color and pattern, what’s that saying? [Fri Jun 18 00:56:39 2021] Firbolg >> Walk about town in a tweed jacket with a shillelagh [Fri Jun 18 00:56:52 2021] Charon >> Do it Firbolg [Fri Jun 18 00:56:59 2021] Charon >> Absolutely do it [Fri Jun 18 00:57:11 2021] Thermite >> It's declaring lack of commitment. [Fri Jun 18 00:57:20 2021] Mad Dog >> It says you don't want your bright pink stetson to be an identifying feature? [Fri Jun 18 00:59:11 2021] Tombstone/Pain Train/NV-OC >> My choice of hat is going to say I'm an eloquent and well-off villain who isn't afraid to put a bullet in someone's eye from a hundred paces. [Fri Jun 18 00:59:41 2021] Thermite >> Tombstone, any relation to the trid series? [Fri Jun 18 01:00:03 2021] Firbolg >> Except for when you don't [Fri Jun 18 01:00:12 2021] Thermite >> Frag yeah! [Fri Jun 18 01:00:15 2021] Tombstone/Pain Train/NV-OC >> Actually no, though you can easily find me on trids and simsense. [Fri Jun 18 01:00:55 2021] Thermite >> Huh. Well, I suppose I've not seen you in person, might recognise you then. But I'll keep quiet. [Fri Jun 18 01:01:01 2021] Thermite >> Ah. [Fri Jun 18 01:01:08 2021] Mad Dog >> Boy Evo's really pushing this silly game show of theirs huh [Fri Jun 18 01:01:32 2021] Charon >> Yep [Fri Jun 18 01:01:40 2021] Firbolg >> Well, my hat'll be here in <24 hours apparently [Fri Jun 18 01:01:44 2021] Firbolg >> This'll be good [Fri Jun 18 01:01:46 2021] Thermite >> Screamers are cool, no doubt. [Fri Jun 18 01:02:29 2021] Thermite >> Hat ordered. Saw some cunts wearing that hat like the monkey in Aladdin the other day. [Fri Jun 18 01:02:55 2021] Mad Dog >> Aladdin? dafuq [Fri Jun 18 01:03:09 2021] Thermite >> Yeah, the little one that looks like a tinnie with a flap on the end. [Fri Jun 18 01:03:21 2021] Thermite >> Aladdin? The Disney trid? [Fri Jun 18 01:03:27 2021] Thermite >> Wait, be right back. [Fri Jun 18 01:04:03 2021] Tombstone/Pain Train/NV-OC >> Hat ordered. Full works, too. [Fri Jun 18 01:04:08 2021] Thermite >> ((Disney is owned by Horizon, no?)) [Fri Jun 18 01:04:48 2021] Thermite >> Anyone want a magic carpet ride? Well, magic rug ride.

[Fri Jun 18 01:06:22 2021] Mad Dog >> Yeah that's the Brain Eaters bud [Fri Jun 18 01:06:57 2021] Thermite >> Yeah, they looked like they pulled it off. [Fri Jun 18 01:07:27 2021] Mad Dog >> Considering thats their gang colors, yeah [Fri Jun 18 01:09:34 2021] Gearslip >> Hard to imagine legal issues. But I understand. [Fri Jun 18 01:09:49 2021] Thermite >> Fair due to them. [Fri Jun 18 01:10:55 2021] Thermite >> Man, now I wanna watch some Horizon stuff. Like, you know it's working on you in the back of your head, but the songs are bangers. [Fri Jun 18 01:11:07 2021] Thermite >> And they have, like the best music. [Fri Jun 18 01:12:14 2021] Mad Dog >> The songs are bangers *AND* they have the best music? Damn [Fri Jun 18 01:12:58 2021] Thermite >> I meant background music. [Fri Jun 18 01:13:04 2021] Thermite >> MD, why are you being an english teacher? [Fri Jun 18 01:13:21 2021] Mad Dog >> It's hot, I'm tired, and being ornery is fun [Fri Jun 18 01:13:44 2021] Thermite >> Fair play. [Fri Jun 18 01:14:58 2021] Charon >> I misread "It's" just then and thought you suddenly became a hell of a lot more confident. [Fri Jun 18 01:15:09 2021] Firbolg >> Likewise [Fri Jun 18 01:16:04 2021] Mad Dog >> Confident what? I'm fully aware I'm hot. Just cuz I don't scream it from the rooftops like *some people* don't mean I lack confidence [Fri Jun 18 01:16:32 2021] Charon >> You know what, fair enough. Suppose I phrased that incorrectly. [Fri Jun 18 01:16:59 2021] Charon >> To be honest, I'd be confident too, if I were you. [Fri Jun 18 01:18:21 2021] Firbolg >> Wait, shit, old flatvids, there's a bit for this! [Fri Jun 18 01:18:47 2021] Charon >> Yeah? [Fri Jun 18 01:19:13 2021] Firbolg >> Nah I can't find it. [Fri Jun 18 01:19:19 2021] Charon >> Why wouldn't that make grammatical sense? [Fri Jun 18 01:19:45 2021] Firbolg >> Bugger. Thermite, you like old flatvids yeah? The ones with the music and shit? What's the ones with the lions in it? [Fri Jun 18 01:20:08 2021] Mad Dog >> You have fun with that, I'mma go cook a thing [Fri Jun 18 01:20:12 2021] Mad Dog >> MD>!disconnect [Fri Jun 18 01:20:28 2021] Thermite >> I like the remasters. [Fri Jun 18 01:20:35 2021] Thermite >> Some of the old ones are good, though. [Fri Jun 18 01:20:37 2021] Charon >> There does Maz [Fri Jun 18 01:20:51 2021] Thermite >> Wait, not grammatic. [Fri Jun 18 01:21:11 2021] Thermite >> I'm hot, tired and enjoying being ornery, one of the three don't match, do it? [Fri Jun 18 01:21:17 2021] Thermite >> Hey Nine! [Fri Jun 18 01:21:37 2021] Firbolg >> That's the one! [Fri Jun 18 01:21:43 2021] Firbolg >> Nine, go buy a stetson [Fri Jun 18 01:21:47 2021] Thermite >> Man, is there some sort of matrix spirit thing in this place, slapping mojis on people? [Fri Jun 18 01:21:57 2021] Thermite >> We're just talking art. [Fri Jun 18 01:22:05 2021] Firbolg >> We're all going to buy one, meet up for beers, invite Nap, and all show up wearing one. [Fri Jun 18 01:22:10 2021] Firbolg >> His head'll spin so fast [Fri Jun 18 01:22:14 2021] Thermite >> The entertaining one, like Expendables VII. [Fri Jun 18 01:24:21 2021] Nine >> You're assuming I don't own a Stetson [Fri Jun 18 01:25:06 2021] Thermite >> Although the digger hat idea starts seeping into my brain. [Fri Jun 18 01:25:16 2021] Nine >> I can pull almost anything off, bud. With a little effort [Fri Jun 18 01:25:21 2021] Tombstone/Pain Train/NV-OC >> Off to pick up my stetson. [Fri Jun 18 01:25:41 2021] Tombstone/Pain Train/NV-OC >> Personal Tailors are great, aren't they?

[Fri Jun 18 01:26:33 2021] Firbolg >> Tombstone moves quick eh [Fri Jun 18 01:26:35 2021] Thermite >> that I know. [Fri Jun 18 01:26:44 2021] Firbolg >> Wait, let me guess. [Fri Jun 18 01:26:46 2021] Firbolg >> Recluse [Fri Jun 18 01:26:54 2021] Thermite >> I thought you needed a Milliner for a hat. [Fri Jun 18 01:26:59 2021] Thermite >> Nah, Fiddler. [Fri Jun 18 01:27:06 2021] Firbolg >> Huh, really? [Fri Jun 18 01:27:16 2021] Firbolg >> Fiddler has a personal tailor? Didn't strike me as the type [Fri Jun 18 01:27:18 2021] Thermite >> He's actually helping me pick a suit soon. [Fri Jun 18 01:27:47 2021] Thermite >> Fiddler's a good cunt, plays cards close to his chest and has a lot of ideas most people wouldn't think of. [Fri Jun 18 01:27:55 2021] Thermite >> Resourceful, too. [Fri Jun 18 01:28:10 2021] Firbolg >> Actually I did have to raincheck getting coffee with him, when I see him next I should see into that. [Fri Jun 18 01:28:29 2021] Thermite >> Yeah, we'll see if he doesn't blacklist me after the suit fitting. [Fri Jun 18 01:29:15 2021] Firbolg >> Hah [Fri Jun 18 01:31:03 2021] Thermite >> Fair due, Nine. [Fri Jun 18 01:34:07 2021] Thermite >> There's a thing I wanted to practice from the newest Star Wars reboot, I'm off to Tacoma. [Fri Jun 18 01:34:29 2021] Azalea >> az>!connect [Fri Jun 18 01:34:35 2021] Firbolg >> Honestly that's kinda concerning. [Fri Jun 18 01:34:39 2021] Firbolg >> Hey Azaelea [Fri Jun 18 01:34:53 2021] Azalea >> Why do you let spam ads fill this host? [Fri Jun 18 01:36:19 2021] Azalea >> Disregarding that, hello, Firbolg. [Fri Jun 18 01:36:21 2021] Nine >> Out of our paygrade, Azalea. How are you? [Fri Jun 18 01:37:38 2021] Azalea >> Hello, Recluse. [Fri Jun 18 01:38:40 2021] Firbolg >> Well, Recluse, how quickly will she finish your Stetson? [Fri Jun 18 01:42:01 2021] Charon >> Good question, Firbolg [Fri Jun 18 01:45:10 2021] Nine >> I'm having a tough time picturing it, but I'm leaning towards it working. Not your usual aesthetic, Recluse, but a black one could be pretty chic. [Fri Jun 18 01:54:10 2021] Blink >> +Yo, yall see the shitty ad about 'the greatest game'? I just gotta ad on my new comlink [Fri Jun 18 01:54:42 2021] Azalea >> Sent through the datahaven, yes. [Fri Jun 18 01:55:14 2021] Firbolg >> [Fri Jun 18 01:56:10 2021] Gearslip >> I keep forgetting how well-connected you are, Recluse [Fri Jun 18 01:56:27 2021] Blink >> [Fri Jun 18 01:56:39 2021] Azalea >> It seems nobody actually cares to plug the obvious security breach. [Fri Jun 18 01:57:05 2021] Firbolg >> [Fri Jun 18 01:58:22 2021] Blink >> + [Fri Jun 18 01:58:24 2021] Azalea >> Then the sysops are either inept or getting paid for these, both of which are worrying. [Fri Jun 18 01:58:34 2021] Gearslip >> Presumably if they're not targeted, and the sysops are sanitizing any referral information, it's just another corporate income source for the haven. [Fri Jun 18 01:59:41 2021] Gearslip >> C'mon merc be a good corporate citizen and click the ads [Fri Jun 18 01:59:46 2021] Blink >> +Speaking of which, do people actual bio mod themselves to be a dog on reality TV [Fri Jun 18 02:00:43 2021] Nine >> Hey, Merc! Yeah, that's some bullshit for sure [Fri Jun 18 02:01:13 2021] Gearslip >> Racist? I didn't look at the ad myself. [Fri Jun 18 02:01:26 2021] Charon >> Previously [Fri Jun 18 02:02:29 2021] Gearslip >> I fear that's actually inevitable, if I'm guessing the system at work. [Fri Jun 18 02:03:02 2021] Gearslip >> If we're getting non-targeted ads, we're getting non-targeted ads. Sysops screening ads for content or target audience might give away the actual audience of the server. [Fri Jun 18 02:04:10 2021] Firbolg >> That actually makes some sense [Fri Jun 18 02:05:04 2021] Gearslip >> Of course, they MIGHT be able to do some work on the back-end to keep them from actually displaying, but that takes effort for no reward for the sysops, so why would they care? Plus, it might pose some risk to the anti-profiling measures they'd be taking by allowing all incoming ads. [Fri Jun 18 02:05:20 2021] Gearslip >> Almost corportate in a way [Fri Jun 18 02:05:34 2021] Gearslip >> "No gain, some risk, why bother" [Fri Jun 18 02:07:11 2021] Nine >> Fair assessment [Fri Jun 18 02:07:30 2021] Gearslip >> Welcome to capitalism Merc [Fri Jun 18 02:07:38 2021] Gearslip >> hope you're having a fun time [Fri Jun 18 02:08:07 2021] Gearslip >> c'mon though there's not even a fee for muting the channel [Fri Jun 18 02:08:15 2021] Gearslip >> Socialist utopia up in here! [Fri Jun 18 02:09:43 2021] Gearslip >> 🍹 [Fri Jun 18 02:10:22 2021] Gearslip >> Wonder if it was like this when...

[Fri Jun 18 02:15:48 2021] Firbolg >> I'll make stew [Fri Jun 18 02:16:26 2021] Firbolg >> I mean, it'll have to be campfire stew [Fri Jun 18 02:16:44 2021] Firbolg >> But it gives me an excuse [Fri Jun 18 02:17:35 2021] Gearslip >> fuck it sure [Fri Jun 18 02:17:41 2021] Gearslip >> LET'S FIRE IT UP BOYS [Fri Jun 18 02:19:21 2021] Firbolg >> I'll need to buy some shit for it though, I don't have anything like that in my van [Fri Jun 18 02:19:24 2021] Mad Dog >> MD>!connect Food eaten, Stetson ordered, life is good [Fri Jun 18 02:19:38 2021] Charon >> Hey Maz [Fri Jun 18 02:19:41 2021] Mad Dog >> o/ [Fri Jun 18 02:19:41 2021] Firbolg >> My stetson is also ordered [Fri Jun 18 02:20:44 2021] Firbolg >> Oohhhh I can buy beer while I get stuff for food [Fri Jun 18 02:21:48 2021] Nine >> Later, Fiz The Stetson bit will be fucking grand. What did you make, Mad? [Fri Jun 18 02:22:48 2021] Mad Dog >> Mycoprotein stirfry, nothin fancy [Fri Jun 18 02:23:27 2021] Gearslip >> As long as you did it justice, I suppose. Never been one for the texture unless I'm actually cooking mushrooms for something like a pasta sauce. [Fri Jun 18 02:24:09 2021] Azalea >> Welcome, Mad Dog. [Fri Jun 18 02:24:27 2021] Charon >> Mmmm. Mushrooms... [Fri Jun 18 02:24:36 2021] Mad Dog >> Yo Az [Fri Jun 18 02:24:44 2021] Gearslip >> Hm. Now I want tacos, but also a nice cream wine sauce. [Fri Jun 18 02:25:31 2021] Azalea >> Those two items aren't mutually exclusive. [Fri Jun 18 02:25:46 2021] Nine >> Stir fry is tasty [Fri Jun 18 02:25:48 2021] Gearslip >> A personal tailor is close, though. [Fri Jun 18 02:26:11 2021] Gearslip >> Though the 'personal' is really just wealth, their taste and skill is the measure of your connections. [Fri Jun 18 02:26:38 2021] Gearslip >> [Fri Jun 18 02:26:57 2021] Gearslip >> Mmmm... there is a personal touch, though. [Fri Jun 18 02:27:13 2021] Gearslip >> Having someone who knows your tastes, someone who you can instruct to surprise you and be pleased with the results [Fri Jun 18 02:28:35 2021] Azalea >> Oh. Off they go. [Fri Jun 18 02:28:38 2021] Charon >> Huh [Fri Jun 18 02:30:03 2021] Charon >> Might have just felt like there wasn't anything for them to add to the conversation [Fri Jun 18 02:30:23 2021] Azalea >> That sounds likely. [Fri Jun 18 02:30:48 2021] Azalea >> But they couldn't have said goodbye as a courtesy? [Fri Jun 18 02:31:18 2021] Gearslip >> [Fri Jun 18 02:31:28 2021] Nine >> > +Personal tailor? Damn, would be nice to get one of those [Fri Jun 18 02:33:28 2021] Mad Dog >> Merc comes and goes all the time, they're a busy bee. Doesn't necessarily reflect the topic in here I don't think [Fri Jun 18 02:34:00 2021] Charon >> True [Fri Jun 18 02:34:16 2021] Gearslip >> [Fri Jun 18 02:36:03 2021] Mad Dog >> If they didn't even drop song lyrics on the way out, it's probably something urgent IRL [Fri Jun 18 02:36:45 2021] Gearslip >> Someday, someone will knock on my door... [Fri Jun 18 02:36:47 2021] Gearslip >> actually, no [Fri Jun 18 02:36:49 2021] Blink >> +Man, I know arms dealers and doctors but not tailors surprisingly enough [Fri Jun 18 02:36:53 2021] Gearslip >> someday, my room will explode without warning. [Fri Jun 18 02:37:08 2021] Mad Dog >> Probably [Fri Jun 18 02:37:14 2021] Gearslip >> Dunno how I feel about that [Fri Jun 18 02:37:18 2021] Charon >> Odd thing to say out of nowhere [Fri Jun 18 02:37:40 2021] Gearslip >> Well people logging off and people wondering why just made me think [Fri Jun 18 02:37:44 2021] Gearslip >> we're shadowrunners, baby [Fri Jun 18 02:37:53 2021] Gearslip >> when we go it aint' in a blaze of glory [Fri Jun 18 02:38:02 2021] Gearslip >> it's because we had a 'gas leak' [Fri Jun 18 02:38:30 2021] Nine >> [Fri Jun 18 02:38:44 2021] Gearslip >> And I don't know if it's luckier to get black-bagged by the pizza delivery, or luckier to just have my bed explode. [Fri Jun 18 02:38:46 2021] Blink >> +You got a bolthole, Gearslip? [Fri Jun 18 02:38:58 2021] Gearslip >> Yeah, but you won't always know when you need it [Fri Jun 18 02:39:06 2021] Gearslip >> I'm not spending my life living out of one [Fri Jun 18 02:39:07 2021] Charon >> Nah, I'll go in a blaze of glory [Fri Jun 18 02:39:21 2021] Charon >> Saving an orphanage or something [Fri Jun 18 02:39:23 2021] Blink >> +Sounds like you got some security issues, I got some old non-money-using tricks if ya want to hear em [Fri Jun 18 02:39:35 2021] Gearslip >> Oh, I have security tricks that I won't go into. [Fri Jun 18 02:39:40 2021] Gearslip >> But it's just the understanding that... [Fri Jun 18 02:39:56 2021] Charon >> And in terms of going, it's better to go when you ain't expecting it [Fri Jun 18 02:40:05 2021] Gearslip >> I probably flubbed OpSec or left behind traces at some point in the last year [Fri Jun 18 02:40:18 2021] Gearslip >> maybe in a month a manager will approve the expense of retribution and have me killed [Fri Jun 18 02:40:30 2021] Gearslip >> Or maybe not, there's no way for me to know [Fri Jun 18 02:40:33 2021] Blink >> +Move apartments often, swap your sins, and answer the door with a shotgun at your hip [Fri Jun 18 02:40:35 2021] Gearslip >> how or when I'm going to die [Fri Jun 18 02:40:37 2021] Azalea >> That's an absurd concern. [Fri Jun 18 02:41:23 2021] Gearslip >> Most of my money goes into my car and my drones, I can't afford to spend 5, 6, 7000 a month on new identities [Fri Jun 18 02:41:43 2021] Gearslip >> then again, ritual links don't last THAT long, right? [Fri Jun 18 02:42:15 2021] Charon >> Like anyone would answer that Blink [Fri Jun 18 02:42:26 2021] Gearslip >> I have a few identities for work and for keeping up a place to live and another for a bolthole to crash in [Fri Jun 18 02:42:32 2021] Mad Dog >> Yeah if they was gonna track you down with a ritual link they'd a done it by now, they don't give that shit a chance to go cold. [Fri Jun 18 02:42:37 2021] Charon >> https://tenor.com/view/no-bugs-bunny-nope-gif-14359850 [Fri Jun 18 02:42:51 2021] Gearslip >> Not gonna get a new apartment every fragging month [Fri Jun 18 02:43:03 2021] Blink >> +Hey man, he said he was in bed with a 'manager' of some type, not me [Fri Jun 18 02:43:11 2021] Gearslip >> ... what? [Fri Jun 18 02:43:20 2021] Gearslip >> OH [Fri Jun 18 02:43:25 2021] Mad Dog >> lol he didn't say that [Fri Jun 18 02:43:29 2021] Charon >> That's not what he said [Fri Jun 18 02:43:39 2021] Blink >> +Ah shit, misread [Fri Jun 18 02:43:52 2021] Blink >> +Disregard [Fri Jun 18 02:44:11 2021] Gearslip >> I was detailing a paranoid daydream where some MCT exec gets back the investigative report with a fuzzy picture of my face, a list of known aliases, and sends a kill order [Fri Jun 18 02:44:34 2021] Gearslip >> Because how would you ever know it's coming [Fri Jun 18 02:44:51 2021] Gearslip >> ... I do forget about that. [Fri Jun 18 02:44:57 2021] Gearslip >> I'm firmly rooted in the mundane [Fri Jun 18 02:45:26 2021] Blink >> +good surveillance and hell, best way to keep the corps off of ya is either good blackmail or good rep Failing staying under the radar of course [Fri Jun 18 02:47:25 2021] Thermite >> BRAIN STRAIN! [Fri Jun 18 02:47:27 2021] Gearslip >> I stay under the radar. [Fri Jun 18 02:47:52 2021] Thermite >> Man, the trids never get it right. [Fri Jun 18 02:48:27 2021] Gearslip >> Laughable that blackmail would keep you safe from a AAA, at least for any duration. It's an unstable equilibrium, given that they can't trust you not to release it and you can't trust them not to try to eliminate you. [Fri Jun 18 02:48:30 2021] Thermite >> You know how in the last Star Wars trid, the girl with the weird eye shadow rips a piece of a building and throws it at the speeder bike [Fri Jun 18 02:48:58 2021] Blink >> +It depends on what it is and who you have connections with [Fri Jun 18 02:49:41 2021] Mad Dog >> Very precisely targeted plastic explosives might be able to achieve what you're after [Fri Jun 18 02:49:55 2021] Gearslip >> [Fri Jun 18 02:50:14 2021] Gearslip >> Or a microfine tow cable and a good car. [Fri Jun 18 02:50:17 2021] Thermite >> MD, you talking to me or about blackmail. [Fri Jun 18 02:50:19 2021] Gearslip >> And an excellent rigger. [Fri Jun 18 02:50:31 2021] Mad Dog >> Was talking to you but I mean if the boot fits about the blackmail thing [Fri Jun 18 02:50:40 2021] Mad Dog >> feel free to strap that sucker on [Fri Jun 18 02:50:56 2021] Thermite >> I wanted to get one solid chunk to throw at someone. [Fri Jun 18 02:51:04 2021] Thermite >> Which I've seen work, but for tiny things. [Fri Jun 18 02:51:25 2021] Thermite >> Huh. Wait, does plastic explosive stick to things? [Fri Jun 18 02:51:30 2021] Mad Dog >> Small breaching charges to isolate out one chunk, then a big one to catapult the whole mess at stuff [Fri Jun 18 02:51:58 2021] Gearslip >> And I was actually wrong about the blackmail. I was assuming you were some kind of incompetent who thought that they could "blackmail Ares" [Fri Jun 18 02:52:24 2021] Gearslip >> But if your plan is to blackmail a middle manager in their security division into losing the records that they might have connected with you... that's doable. [Fri Jun 18 02:52:35 2021] Gearslip >> Especially as a short-term arrangement [Fri Jun 18 02:52:41 2021] Thermite >> Fuck me, there's some explosives wizards here. I'm looking for practical applications, though, pawns aren't going to wait for you to measure and place that thing. [Fri Jun 18 02:52:52 2021] Gearslip >> Tow cable and a rigger. [Fri Jun 18 02:53:16 2021] Charon >> Fucking Riggers [Fri Jun 18 02:53:23 2021] Charon >> Why do they get all the fun? [Fri Jun 18 02:53:30 2021] Mad Dog >> lol I'm not an explosives wizard, but I know a couple. Just spitballing ideas [Fri Jun 18 02:53:35 2021] Gearslip >> Because I replaced 30% of my brain mass, is why. [Fri Jun 18 02:53:44 2021] Gearslip >> Well, that's probably not literally true. [Fri Jun 18 02:54:18 2021] Charon >> I regret none of my brainware [Fri Jun 18 02:54:25 2021] Gearslip >> Neither do I. [Fri Jun 18 02:54:32 2021] Gearslip >> The real answer is "investment". [Fri Jun 18 02:54:40 2021] Thermite >> Nah, might work. If there's a right sticky explosive, though, there should be a way to toss it at someone and then detonate it. [Fri Jun 18 02:54:51 2021] Gearslip >> A street samurai invests a hundred thousand nuyen into invasive neurological augmentation and replacement. [Fri Jun 18 02:55:03 2021] Gearslip >> A rigger invests the same into his midbrain and skull. [Fri Jun 18 02:55:52 2021] Gearslip >> [Fri Jun 18 02:56:39 2021] Charon >> por que no los dos? [Fri Jun 18 02:56:58 2021] Gearslip >> Because you don't have the money and you'll also die from essence loss. [Fri Jun 18 02:57:02 2021] Charon >> Synaptic boosters made me a better wheelman *and* muscle [Fri Jun 18 02:57:02 2021] Gearslip >> Also, to bring things back full circle, I'm not leaving this apartment unless I know damn well I've left traces. I _like_ this kitchen and I don't want to restock my fridge with all those hard-to-find things. [Fri Jun 18 02:57:20 2021] Gearslip >> Wheelman is very different than rigging. [Fri Jun 18 02:57:33 2021] Gearslip >> You may in fact drive as well as I do, if not better, if you've honed that skill. [Fri Jun 18 02:57:44 2021] Charon >> It's possible. [Fri Jun 18 02:57:55 2021] Charon >> I've beaten a rigger in a race before [Fri Jun 18 02:58:29 2021] Gearslip >> Though you'll never _be_ your car in the same way that I can, let alone being a spydrone or experiencing what it is to fly. [Fri Jun 18 02:58:42 2021] Charon >> I know [Fri Jun 18 02:58:50 2021] Gearslip >> They're different experiences that achieve similar results. [Fri Jun 18 02:58:51 2021] Charon >> Rigging is different, I know [Fri Jun 18 02:59:03 2021] Mad Dog >> That's fine. I don't need to *be* the vehicle. [Fri Jun 18 02:59:07 2021] Charon >> Atalanta sent me a simsense of being a chopper. [Fri Jun 18 02:59:17 2021] Charon >> Was pretty fucking grouse if I'm perfectly honest [Fri Jun 18 02:59:33 2021] Gearslip >> Can be incredible. [Fri Jun 18 02:59:36 2021] Gearslip >> And terrible. [Fri Jun 18 02:59:46 2021] Mad Dog >> Being me on a bike is plenty rad 😎 [Fri Jun 18 02:59:51 2021] Gearslip >> I'm sure! [Fri Jun 18 03:00:02 2021] Thermite >> Mate, flying is amazing. [Fri Jun 18 03:00:11 2021] Gearslip >> I have very distinct memories of my first time flying a drone. [Fri Jun 18 03:00:11 2021] Charon >> You don't need to be on a bike for that, Maz. 😎 [Fri Jun 18 03:00:26 2021] Gearslip >> It was as high and as low as it gets. [Fri Jun 18 03:00:28 2021] Thermite >> Eyyy. [Fri Jun 18 03:00:48 2021] Charon >> I will say, I appreciate the fact that when my vick takes a hit, I don't *literally* feel it. Only emotionally. [Fri Jun 18 03:01:16 2021] Mad Dog >> Just don't get your vick hit, ezpz [Fri Jun 18 03:02:23 2021] Mad Dog >> What was it he said that one time [Fri Jun 18 03:02:29 2021] Thermite >> I've never seen both of them in the same place, just saying. [Fri Jun 18 03:02:41 2021] Mad Dog >> ONLY THE MOST POWERFUL ORDNANCE MAY SCRATCH YOUR SUPERIOR HIDE [Fri Jun 18 03:02:48 2021] Mad Dog >> Or something like that [Fri Jun 18 03:03:26 2021] Gearslip >> The high was pushing a stolen Seven-Soars past its tolerances, doing loops in the night sky. [Fri Jun 18 03:04:18 2021] Gearslip >> The low was pushing it too far past its tolerances, and feeling my control surfaces break away. Losing control at full speed, without the presence of mind to jack out before I impacted a building. [Fri Jun 18 03:04:44 2021] Mad Dog >> Yeah crashing blows, glad all I get from that drek is road rash [Fri Jun 18 03:06:33 2021] Gearslip >> Looking back at footage of what happens to my body when I suffer massive biofeedback, I'm not surprised. [Fri Jun 18 03:06:39 2021] Gearslip >> Scary drek. [Fri Jun 18 03:06:42 2021] Charon >> Well, that's an expensive thing to break, I guess. [Fri Jun 18 03:07:15 2021] Gearslip >> Oh, I didn't care about the drone, I stole that. And seven-soars are only 4k nuyen new, they're kind of drek. [Fri Jun 18 03:07:41 2021] Gearslip >> The problem was having to rush me to a street doc as I was seizing and hemorrhaging 😛 [Fri Jun 18 03:08:18 2021] Mad Dog >> Heh [Fri Jun 18 03:08:59 2021] Charon >> Yeah, that couldn't have been fun [Fri Jun 18 03:09:08 2021] Charon >> Was that your Big One? [Fri Jun 18 03:09:22 2021] Gearslip >> My Big One? [Fri Jun 18 03:10:22 2021] Gearslip >> [Fri Jun 18 03:10:41 2021] Charon >> Yeah [Fri Jun 18 03:10:43 2021] Charon >> You know [Fri Jun 18 03:10:55 2021] Charon >> Everyone has that one big hit they took [Fri Jun 18 03:11:04 2021] Charon >> Might have taken a lot of hits in your life [Fri Jun 18 03:11:14 2021] Charon >> But there's always one that sticks out [Fri Jun 18 03:11:27 2021] Charon >> Hell, might not even actually be the worst injury you've taken [Fri Jun 18 03:12:12 2021] Gearslip >> It's one of them. [Fri Jun 18 03:12:17 2021] Gearslip >> Certainly a formative memory. [Fri Jun 18 03:12:33 2021] Gearslip >> The easiest one to talk about, definitely. [Fri Jun 18 03:12:58 2021] Gearslip >> [Fri Jun 18 03:13:15 2021] Gearslip >> Honestly, it might be the _single_ biggest one. [Fri Jun 18 03:13:31 2021] Gearslip >> But The Big One, to my memory, is an entire traumatic clusterfuck of a failed job. [Fri Jun 18 03:13:55 2021] Charon >> Guessing you ain't gonna talk about that one [Fri Jun 18 03:14:29 2021] Nine >> Fuck, Caz. Yeah, not a great question [Fri Jun 18 03:14:43 2021] Charon >> Yeah, I wasn't asking [Fri Jun 18 03:14:57 2021] Charon >> Hence the lack of a question mark [Fri Jun 18 03:15:23 2021] Charon >> Someone want to move this conversation to a different topic? [Fri Jun 18 03:15:26 2021] Nine >> You're right. Brain misread that, clearly something to consider [Fri Jun 18 03:15:39 2021] Gearslip >> I can, I think video of it might have hit the haven at one point, but it's long enough ago that I wouldn't do myself any favors by dragging it back out. [Fri Jun 18 03:15:44 2021] Thermite >> The Fragging Unicorns have a new album out. [Fri Jun 18 03:15:56 2021] Thermite >> I feel like I'm too sober for em. [Fri Jun 18 03:15:59 2021] Gearslip >> Rocket impact, car crash, and spirit attack was a bad combo, I'll leave it at that [Fri Jun 18 03:16:07 2021] Charon >> Fair go [Fri Jun 18 03:16:16 2021] Charon >> The Fragging Unicorns? [Fri Jun 18 03:16:58 2021] Gearslip >> [Fri Jun 18 03:17:02 2021] Thermite >> Yeah, this street punk group,. [Fri Jun 18 03:17:15 2021] Thermite >> Masks on, rock on. [Fri Jun 18 03:17:29 2021] Charon >> Sounds like a grouse group already [Fri Jun 18 03:17:39 2021] Thermite >> Bug City Sushi? Neon Grifter? [Fri Jun 18 03:17:46 2021] Charon >> [Fri Jun 18 03:18:13 2021] Thermite >> Come on, Caz, I know you're like ninety-seven inside. [Fri Jun 18 03:18:27 2021] Thermite >> But they're fucking ace. [Fri Jun 18 03:18:47 2021] Charon >> Like I said, sounds grouse [Fri Jun 18 03:19:35 2021] Thermite >> Good shit. [Fri Jun 18 03:20:16 2021] Nine >> [Fri Jun 18 03:21:50 2021] Charon >> > By the way, what does "Campfire stew" mean? [Fri Jun 18 03:24:09 2021] Thermite >> I mean, unless it's like a Seattle sex thing, it's sitting somewhere where you've set up camp, and you and your mates chuck shit in a pot, which you then eat. [Fri Jun 18 03:24:34 2021] Gearslip >> Eh, fair. Trading tacos for that is probably worth. [Fri Jun 18 03:24:45 2021] Mad Dog >> I will make the assumption you don't mean literal shit [Fri Jun 18 03:25:01 2021] Thermite >> Fuck! I knew I forgot to buy my emergency tacoes, cheers mate. [Fri Jun 18 03:25:25 2021] Thermite >> I don't, nah. I said it's not a weird Seattle sex thing. [Fri Jun 18 03:26:23 2021] Gearslip >> Hm! I bet if they're just doin' some tater-n-myco thing I can whip up a red wine reduction and herb pack to toss in, really liven things up. [Fri Jun 18 03:27:26 2021] Thermite >> I always try and have a spare taco on me, you never know when the job's gonna take longer, or the Astral's going to take too much out of you. [Fri Jun 18 03:27:29 2021] Charon >> [Fri Jun 18 03:27:41 2021] Gearslip >> Wait until you ride with me on a job. [Fri Jun 18 03:27:48 2021] Thermite >> And I know none of the things you mention, Gearslip, but they sound good. [Fri Jun 18 03:28:14 2021] Thermite >> Eh, there's a rigger bloke here who has a whole fridge of snacks in their van. [Fri Jun 18 03:29:24 2021] Gearslip >> What kind of snacks? [Fri Jun 18 03:31:33 2021] Thermite >> Nicked some japanese protein bar last time, don't remember the name, but it was mochi and condensed milk flavour. Tight shit. [Fri Jun 18 03:33:22 2021] Charon >> I keep fruit tingles in my glove box [Fri Jun 18 03:33:36 2021] Charon >> Good for a tiny energy boost [Fri Jun 18 03:34:19 2021] Charon >> They have a tendency to go missing anytime Char gets in my car though. Fucking gremlin nicks them all. [Fri Jun 18 03:34:54 2021] Thermite >> Nice. The new place I'm looking at has an actual kitchen, and I might do some alchemy in the future. Oughta see if I can do some magical tim tams. [Fri Jun 18 03:35:04 2021] Gearslip >> I'll fuss with some hardware, see if homemade hard tacos keep well enough in a warmer without going soggy. [Fri Jun 18 03:35:13 2021] Charon >> Fucking oath Tezza [Fri Jun 18 03:35:25 2021] Thermite >> I honestly can't fucking imagine Alchemy without cooking [Fri Jun 18 03:35:33 2021] Charon >> You make magical time tams, and I'll fucking pash you mate. [Fri Jun 18 03:35:47 2021] Mad Dog >> Think I might know who you're talking about there Therm, hehe [Fri Jun 18 03:36:07 2021] Mad Dog >> Went on one run and one of the other runners spent half the run heisting his snacks XD [Fri Jun 18 03:36:23 2021] Gearslip >> I've definitely been in that situation, but I take it as a compliment. [Fri Jun 18 03:36:45 2021] Thermite >> Nah, I tried making Grandma Sweetspell's magic biccys one day. [Fri Jun 18 03:37:08 2021] Thermite >> But alchemy don't take in Sydney [Fri Jun 18 03:37:30 2021] Thermite >> They wanna come out, I'll look into collabs [Fri Jun 18 03:41:24 2021] Gearslip >> Soft tacos or hard tacos? [Fri Jun 18 03:41:48 2021] Thermite >> Soft, don't get damaged as much when you put them in your pocket. [Fri Jun 18 03:42:12 2021] Gearslip >> For eating, dingus [Fri Jun 18 03:42:30 2021] Nine >> > They're my emergency food, mate, convenience goes over taste. Also the hardshell break too much. [Fri Jun 18 03:47:20 2021] Gearslip >> Let me back up. If I'm making snacks for the team, for eating _now and not later_...
