My name? Richard Nibbles. My story? Well, I was once a bounty hunter. Then I tried mining but the fourth thing I mined gave me a cosmic seizure so a cult of rich explorers put me up in a guest room on a planet made of shopping malls. But that’s a fairly common story, so what makes mine special? Maybe it’s my choices. My deliberate swaddling of my potato-shaped body in the most tin-foil spacesuit I can loot. My compulsive collecting of “vacuum tape,” possibly stemming from a past life in an atomic wasteland. My refusal to learn how to effectively pilot my own ship. My commitment to staffing that ship almost exclusively with women of color, except one white lady whose attempts to blur professional lines go ignored but not punished, since, I mean, look at me. My thoughtful-if-transactional relationship with retired parents that are somehow five years younger than me. But maybe my strangest choice, and I do have to admit it is a choice: I own a house I’ve never seen. It’s the thing that drives me. I get that it’s a rare opportunity to track down seizure inducing artifacts while reuniting a scattered human race, and I’m grateful that my three minutes in the mines are behind me. But I’m honestly doing it all to pay off my mortgage. I take ten times longer on every mission because I feel like I have to gather and sell every foam cup I find. I don’t know how to make a storage box yet, so I literally use the body of a man I killed to store illegal items, just in case I ever find, like, a space version of Silk Road or, for fuck’s sake, a Craig’s List, which you’d think would exist since there’s robots. I’m not complaining. It’s a great life. And a fantastic game. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Well. I’d trade my soul for the 24 grand I still owe the bank. Honestly, I’d suck your dick for a foam cup. I won’t use mean dialogue or hurt peaceful animals and I give 2 percent of my money to my mom but I’ve stolen and fenced every item from every bedroom of every human dumb enough to trust me. My name is Richard Nibbles. Pray we never meet. #Starfield #RichardNibblesChronicles
My Baldur’s Gate power move. The key is eye contact
Do not scroll the Viral Butter Candle Comments if you do not want to get angry at someone for some reason. Right now you’re thinking “That’s impossible, I have no interest in this, let alone an opinion, let alone a spare ounce of available emotion.” Well, about 5,000 people thought the same thing and they each discovered that there is an enemy for everyone under the Viral Butter Candle post. There are people punching up at people for punching down at people for not punching. One does not simply ….like or dislike…the Viral Butter Candle. There are not two sides. There are not six sides. It is a prison riot. Any factions that form are accidental and temporary. Happy Thanksgiving

I’m ready to settle up. Can you break a giant penny?
If you haven’t seen this…just recommending. So edifying technologically and emotionally because you’re NOT ALONE. You are alone typing the title into YouTube though, I’m too lazy to set up a link
I still got my chops. This just arrived, thank you @davidskaufjord for letting me know you can buy new working C64s online! Powered with a micro USB cable, uses an HDMI port in back. Had no idea this existed. I knew I shouldn’t have thrown away my 1541 drive and floppy rolodex. I could be swimming in bug ridden custom made D&D housekeeping programs right now

Driving back from Thanksgiving in KC. Stopping in Oklahoma City. They’ll let anybody in this place

I’ve finally chosen a winner in my “Least Tempting Movie Description” contest. This was a fifty year contest I initiated at birth, the challenge was to describe a movie in a way that makes me, personally, least curious to view it or even the trailer. Many submissions were things like “Two guys have dinner” or “A paralyzed man gets to walk again but only in the body of an alien to steal magic tree energy” but there’s a fine line between active discouragement and accidental intrigue, a line that “The Hill” refuses to walk because walking sounds like something I could watch. “Yes,” The Hill says to my hotel room, “Dennis Quaid is in me, but he’s probably doing an accent and he’s holding a pretty big bible. Yes, I contain a field but it isn’t exactly wheat so don’t get all worked up. The odds aren’t what you’d call INsurmountable. It’s a true story so if it ends with an explosion, you’d have heard about it. He’s definitely legally allowed to play baseball. It’s challenging, schedule-wise and then he works it out. Simply put, I was not made for you, I was mostly made for the crew and their families, if you watch me, i hope you enjoy me and if you don’t, it’s on you.”
The pub cheers for daytime’s all star dramaback @justjokingjk as he scores another emotional touchdown #generalhospital
