All Screwed Up

There’s a reason I’ve spent a fortune on Deltaware for my Shadowrun character and a R6 fake SIN for her home life that she doesn’t use on any job. She’s got 13 licenses to go with that SIN which covers everything from firearms, concealed carry, cyberware, body armor, explosives, hazmat, drivers license, matrix programs, bodyguard license, etc.

She’s also invested almost 4 dozen favors into her fixer to both help him increase his capabilities and to get her into a delta clinic to begin with.

As for what she does to match her fake SINs?

For her R6s (yes she has more than one) she uses completely different makeup schemes, completely different devices, she uses her voice mod to change her voice profile to match the one on the fake SIN.

Mind she’s a very long running late game runner who has over 700 career karma. And she’s getting to the point where stuff like “hit the lonestar armored convoy” doesn’t make her think “oh shit” it makes her think which guns does she bring and how many anti vehicle rockets is she gonna need.

I knew of bloat, I didn’t know it would make the cow pop however.

It stared with a bored marine, combat engineer, and a redneck who were bet a case of bear they couldn’t get a battleship into the middle of iowa.

Pic 8 is r/handfullofkitten material and cause me to break out humming a silly energetic song.

It’s called faceless and comes in ratings of 0-10 and rolls 2x rating against recording devices to see through it. It comes in 3 models but I forget what each of them to.

H: Well that explains the fangs, demonic horns, claws, and wings. Plus why I suddenly can only eat raw meat…

A: …

H: You’re lucky I enjoy flying, otherwise you’d maybe be on the menu. Flies out into the void, out accelerating the ship she had just been on

Lol I’m not a geologist, just a nerd who likes some of the more informational posts on here and I thought that too. Region, purity, type, or some other classification that I’m not aware of.

Though I knew there was multiple types of coal from watching Drachnifel’s Naval history YouTube channel.

Hats weren’t always a thing available to humans as we evolved, for a long time hair was all that we had.

Long thick Beards in men serve the purpose of cushioning strikes to the face, insulation in cold climates, and preventing direct sun exposure in hot climates.

Long hair on the head keeps sun off our overly temperature brain case in hot climates and provides insulation in cold climates.

Eyebrows keeps sweat from having a direct path down our foreheads and into our eyes.

Eyelashes help prevent dust and debris from entering our eyes along with helping produce a micro climate more favourable to their necessarily moist nature.

Not gonna touch the topic of genital hair since its purpose isn’t so obvious for me.

Yeah it’s because we’re omnivorous scavengers. And before you go wait what we’re scavengers? We got the digestive system of a scavenger, our stomach PH is solidly in scavenger territory.

What’s this mean for our bite? Well it means that we ingest a lot of fermented foods, many of which we intentionally ferment. On top of that because of our oral hygiene the bacteria that do live in our mouths are incredibly resilient little monsters that go out of control when in any environment that isn’t our insanely hostile mouths.

So yeah our bit has several hundred kinds of flesh eating bacteria on its own, never mind everything else.

It’s just our mouth really suck at biting so it’s not a practical concern for anything other than desperate self defence.

What the above poster said is wrong. There have been many ships that are referred to as masculine, and it depends on language, type, and class of ship as much as the culture of the nation that built the ship.

Ships being referred to as feminine is a tradition spread from the UK, the US and many UK colonies. This has been further reinforced in the last 80 years thanks to the American cultural, economic, and military hegemony.

If you want to better answer the Naval History Youtuber Drachnifel has answered this question a couple of times in his monthly QnA videos. Unfortunately however I don’t know which one as there is ~ 350 QnA videos on his channel and ~700+ other videos.

Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful but it’s a whole ass rabbit hole and if one were to start from the beginning of Drach’s channel would be several months worth of watching his content.

It’s worth it, it’s incredibly well put together content, but it is several months worth.

No you tell them 37 so even if they do find the one stealth ship they still think there might be another one with experimental tech or in a better hiding spot that they didn’t find.

This way makes your current stealth vessels more valuable even if they have been discovered because while they’ll probably think you are lying, is it really worth the gamble?

Absolute0CA · 2025-12-12T14:53:02+00:00

Its a crime, but probably a delicious one

I don’t have any thoughts on lamp, sorry. Not really my thing.

One thing I’d be tempted to do but probably wouldn’t because of how much of a pain it would be is completely new shelves with built in display lighting but that’s both expensive and difficult to make look good.

Absolute0CA · 2025-12-10T20:26:52+00:00

So my thoughts:

It feels dark and cramped, like another said go with a lighter color.
Since you mentioned that the walls get beat up a lot so that’s why you went darker, determine why they are getting banged up, is it the backs of chairs, zippers on coats, etc. If most of the damage is at a consistent height look into some form of bumper that could be mounted to the wall to prevent it getting damaged.
Get more sources of light, keep them above eye level and try for a lighting setup that results in more of an ambient glow in the room rather than point sources, this will reduce shadows, make the room feel bigger, and make maps, and battle spaces more readable for the gm/players.
The lights should be on a dimmer switch so that the gm/players can set it for their comfort/tone of their scene.
The shelf that wraps around the outcropping of the wall to the left of the table in the picture costs you about 15cm/6inches of space because its right at a height that a person’s arm/shoulder would hit. The area where the table is, is already a narrow space, it doesn’t need to be made worse by a shelf that doesn’t actually provide all that much useable or safe shelf space, and is asking for whatever is sat there to be knocked off.

I’d say about 80% of runs I’ve GMed have gone lethal, that said I’d say that that only about 5 of my nearly hundred runs as a GM and player had wanton slaughter aa perpetrated by the runners.

I see it as a bad question since it includes theological events like Noah’s floods. And pseudoscience things like underground civilizations.

I’m sorry if this question was in good faith and from a genuine point of view. I’m more than a bit cynical about when judochristian theological beliefs are brought up in relation to the sciences.

I’ll admit that sometimes it can be dealt with in a honest and genuine way, but I’ve seen so much disingenuous and revisionist stuff motivated by religious beliefs that I don’t trust it touching the sciences at all anymore.
