How nerdy are you?This week Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons, died. A whole generation of pasty dice-obsessed nerds owes him big time. Me included.
So, in his honour, how nerdy were you? Are you still sunlight-averse? What are the sad little things you do that nobody else understands?
As an example, a B3ta regular who shall remain nameless told us, "I spent an entire school summer holiday getting my BBC Model B computer to produce filthy stories from an extensive database of names, nouns, adjectives, stock phrases and deviant sexual practices. It revolutionised the porn magazine dirty letter writing industry for ever.
Revel in your own nerdiness.

I hear that.The only difference is that I can get to that point, put the thing down and walk away before I destroy it. I then go and walk around, mentally wreaking havoc on everything in sight until the red mists clear again, then go back to it.
I'm much happier working on purely mechanical things. Put me in the late 19th century and I would have been happy as can be.
As much as I use them and need them for my living- I fucking hate computers.
