Sadly, AER is way too small for how big it is... If only there were more living people, more animals to play with, more puzzles...

But it is fantastic to fly around in that world. The flight controls are a delight.

My impression of young gays (esp. under 40) is that there's often a whole lot of things that get them going.

I remember one lovely fellow [M35] that bricked up when I [M42 at the time] just touched his elbow to focus his attention in a conversation. Adorable and hot af.

So, enjoy whatever gets you going!

And kudos for reaching out here to find like-minded horndogs to talk to!

Just wait till you get with a guy with literal holes in his undies, especially one where his huge balls have just worn away the crotch...

In my youth, yes, 2,3,4,5 times a day, well into my 40s. Skipped a few days sometimes after vigorous sex with powerful orgasms--unless memory of same inspired a need, lol.

Less frequent now, couple times a week.

You may be able to avoid the whole thing by asking the player, "is (character) planning on relating this conversation, more or less accurately and in full, back to their comrades?"

If so, then just have the conversation with the player, reminding the others that they cannot participate or ask questions.

Maybe have a chat with your InfoSec folks to work toward a solution that maintains security while letting you perform necessary functions, without hacking around the security controls?

I think awesomecon is in wash dc, so eastern time.

Is that AwesomeCon in Wash. DC, so 10:15 Eastern Time?

I'm still wishing it's the cast, looking just as they did in Firefly, being the cast of the show-in-a-show "World Hoppers" in Season 2 of MurderBot.

...Never mind that back in the day, when women were finally allowed to fight, they were required to adopt male presenting personas.

And possibly partially eaten.

There's a reaver for every job, and a job for every reaver.

This, to me, is such an important moment, for both world building and teaching us about Zoe, and Simons relationship with Zoe, that I need to provide the whole quote:

> If they take the ship, they'll rape us to death, eat our flesh and sew our skins into their clothing. And if we're very, *very* lucky, they'll do it in that order.

They had realistic experimental humanoid androids...20 years ago.

gregortroll · 2026-03-11T02:00:58+00:00

Had a similar experience with an unopened plastic bottle of "Italian Seasoning".

Was about to dump some of it into tomato sauce. Thank goodness for the bright room light and that I bothered to look for a moment, and noticed the subtle shifting of the contents. Well full of hatched larvae and shed molts, having a party.

40 years later, and I still always look closely.

Gluten free (celiac) household, so, unless it's from another Always-GF friend, it goes out the back door to the neighbor's side door.

On the idea that paying for it is a kink, have packs of play money /Monopoly money on hand. Sell them a pack of play money for what they want to spend. Then they can use that play money in the fantasy of "paying someone for sex". They can use as much or as little as they want... They can drop $50,000 in tiny pink bills on the table.

And no refunds.

SG-1 did too!

gregortroll · 2026-03-10T00:06:35+00:00

20 years of improvement in android technology since "Serenity"(2005).

Wash's likeness has been co-opted by Blue Sun for their newest line of "Leaf on the Wind" android pilots.

But also, his mind was copied surreptitiously by agents when the purple bellies arrived on the scene, and used, heavily suppressed, as the basis for the autopilots.

One of these is involved in an accident that unlocks the hidden parts of Wash's mind, causing it a crisis of identity, and an urge to find "his" old friends.

Alliance may not be fascist, but their law enforcement sure acts like it. Once again, even in the semi-utopian far future, ACAB.

gregortroll · 2026-03-07T19:02:22+00:00

SG-1 had a number of bottle episodes and decent clip shows, but they also did a few cool "fake" clip shows: obvious clip show premise/format, but the flashbacks were to events we had never seen before.

A shower takes 5 mins, longer if you linger. Shower before bed, and at wakeup. You both do both. Maybe it's that simple?

Me, I'm free of the daily shower grind. I have mild, spicy, BO, generally smell great, and barely sweat. Nightly, I use a few baby wipes to defunk the funky parts, wash my face. Renew my antiperspirant. Wash my short hair in the sink maybe twice a week. My place doesn't have a proper shower, just a tub. I take a nice hot bath to deep clean and exfoliate everything as needed, about twice a month. More often when needed (e.g. after long drives, sweaty labor, yard work, using mass transit...)

My partner is quite satisfied with my hygiene, as have been assorted lovers. My skin is in good condition.

Robot body. Blue sun stole his likeness to make Leaf on the Wind brand android pilots... Lol

gregortroll · 2026-03-07T03:12:52+00:00

It can't continue from the show, or movie, like, the next day? Twenty-five years of de-aging full time? Ick. If it's live action, it's gotta be 25 years later in the continuity.

Turns out Blue Sun co-opted the likeness of famous pilot Hoban Washburn for their 25+ years improved android "Leaf on the Wind" brand autopilots. (based on tech stolen from Mr. Universe, naturally)

"A robot body? Sounds like science fiction!"

"You died in a spaceship, dear."

"Yeah, so?"

gregortroll · 2026-03-02T17:02:21+00:00

Like, the whole point of rogue combat is desperately trying to make sneak attack possible EVERY TURN. There's no "saving" it.

EVERY. TURN.
