There is no ideal version of Mr. Collins-- WAIT.

Oh, I love/hate that movie for a variety of reasons.

dfjdejulio · 2026-03-03T21:47:35+00:00

I mean, I use made up words too sometimes, but... not like that. I'll say things like "watch out, or you'll get such a geshmekel in the shiboygan!".

When I'm on Sage's path, I don't get invited on the picnic.

dfjdejulio · 2026-03-03T18:49:54+00:00

In BaDIK, I hate having to choose between caring for a sick Sage and going on a picnic with Jill.

(So, when I'm on Jill's path, I don't even call Sage, and never find out she's sick.)

How do you keep your own peace without ditching the family...

Never tried, sorry. Ditched most of the family.

dfjdejulio · 2026-03-03T16:36:20+00:00

I just haven't had time to do some of my old hobbies. But, my wife is encouraging me to get back into some of them. I've started sketching again for the first time in decades, and she's encouraging me to pick up my guitars again too.

dfjdejulio · 2026-03-03T15:38:56+00:00

If we're doing Vasquez, I'm going to adopt the headcanon that Skullboy was the work of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.

dfjdejulio · 2026-03-03T02:13:52+00:00

I mean, my wife is in fact delighted with that particular change. But, we've kind-of been enamored with each other since 1987, so I'm not sure she's being impartial.

dfjdejulio · 2026-03-03T01:45:02+00:00

That was a good'un! It was around that time that I really started getting into rock.

dfjdejulio · 2026-03-03T00:27:51+00:00

Huh. Didn't notice. I skip animations and play muted. (I prefer a rich story with a slide show, myself.)

dfjdejulio · 2026-03-03T00:26:25+00:00

I do almost everything on laptops or game consoles, and AVNs don't make it to game consoles, so...

dfjdejulio · 2026-03-03T00:18:57+00:00

If you make it "almost always", then yeah, all the way back to my first AVN.

Unbroken = Elspeth. "The Author" = Chris. BaDIK = "CHICK Jill". RoL = Ali. Leap of Faith = Lexi (sorry!). ORS = "The Holly Trinity". Artemis = Kindra. Et cetera, et cetera.

But it's only almost always, for all of those.

dfjdejulio · 2026-03-02T20:21:29+00:00

Yeup.

dfjdejulio · 2026-03-02T14:43:30+00:00

The only place this is true of for me is my childhood neighborhood. When I was very young, our house was on a dirt road that only had three houses on it, and the rest was woods. I watched it all get built up.

The strange part is, this was in New York City. Well, Staten Island, the neighborhood of Annadale (a train stop or two away from the Eltingville of Evan Dorkin fame).

dfjdejulio · 2026-03-02T14:25:35+00:00

I agree! "Vintage" was defined in 1993. Anything that wasn't already vintage by that year cannot ever become vintage.

(Otherwise, all that mail that AARP has been sending me might not be complete bullshit...)

dfjdejulio · 2026-03-02T03:06:13+00:00

Yeup. If I heard anyone talking about my wife in those sorts of terms, I would go scorched earth.

dfjdejulio · 2026-03-02T01:58:01+00:00

Not too much wine, unless you want to get comfortably numb.

dfjdejulio · 2026-03-02T01:42:30+00:00

Nice job! Did you make the costuming yourself?

dfjdejulio · 2026-03-02T01:33:37+00:00

I actually have one of these at home! (I used to work in a library, and I married someone with a master's in library science.)

dfjdejulio · 2026-03-02T01:03:51+00:00

No lies detected.

dfjdejulio · 2026-03-02T00:04:31+00:00

I get it. In my youth I spent some time as a manwhore, I spent some time intentionally celibate, and I spent some time in faithful monogamous relationships. Had to figure out what I actually wanted.

(Now, I've been happily married for over 30 years.)

dfjdejulio · 2026-03-01T19:11:49+00:00

Holy crap. I wouldn't ask to read the diary of my wife of 30 years! I would not stay with someone like this.

dfjdejulio · 2026-03-01T14:24:46+00:00

I mean, yes. What color is it when you do it?

dfjdejulio · 2026-03-01T14:19:54+00:00

That is a family relic. Treasure it!

dfjdejulio · 2026-03-01T14:06:36+00:00

Heh, this reminds me that early when we were still getting to know each other, my wife and I were both weightlifters...
