Bay 12 Games Forum

Because wherever I go on the internet, no one has heard of this game. Until recently, it seems.

Weird. I've noticed mention of it all over the place for... years, I guess. I mean, the games have been around for a while, ha. They're one of those things that get mentioned whenever the older CRPGs come up, at least in passing. Usually with a fair amount of praise.

E: Haven't personally played Wiz 8... or any of them, really, though. At least not much. That old first-person dungeon crawl just rubs my nerves raw -- there's been something like three or four games of that style I've been able to stomach playing for any length of time, out of the multiple-dozens I've tried over the years (and yes, that includes pretty much all of the big names). I get unpleasantly lost, usually. As opposed to pleasantly lost, which can also happen. Something about that style of game just really tends to bugger my sense of direction.  Worse than ruddy MUDs they are, for me

... klezmer? You're aware of the klezmatics, right? Among other things. Pretty sure I've dropped a bit of klezmer over in the music thread, if you want to see some more.

So you either take on debt to meet those requirements (which will upgrade by the time you're done with your education), or you do some very low-level uneducated work and look for opportunities to move about.

Or rock some variation of nepotism networking. Though I guess you could file that under opportunities to move about...

Blazes if I know. The concept still pops up in drawn stuff fairly often, for what that's worth. And you still have it actually happening, in the whole... reality... thing. But yeah, I guess it's not as common a thing as it once was. Even the skanky old dude in the trenchcoat and naught else has gone digital.

Ah. Well, the latter would be pretty obvious, wouldn't it? You'd think some gratuitous fraction of that program's use would be sending pictures of genitalia back and forth even before you got to harassment.

... harassed who over what?

We did have an alt history thread at some point or another. Maybe more than one, I'unno. No clue if it got locked/deleted or just sunk into inactivity, though.

Tempt not the internet, CP. That one's actually somewhat common.

Well, the squidgirl thing. The other thing is even more common.
