Yes and yes but also I don't want people to be attracted to me and, being an asshole, have occasionally deliberately upset them to get them to not be attracted to me.

“My name’s Coby Dick, Kobold Dick if you’re nasty”.

Also I don't lol very often either actually ol or just by typing the letters but lol.

I started off reading this thread and thought maybe the museum guy was just making things worse by replying to emails on his phone over a weekend when they could wait till Monday but quickly realised his stupid tank collection should burn down with him in it.

I reached out to the President of the American Heritage Museum in Hudson, Mass. to ask if he was aware WWII re-enactors from a museum event wore their Nazi uniform costumes to dinner at a nearby restaurant last night. Here is his response:

19. Llamatron - bright colours and noises and fun 20. Megaroids - the absolute first game I ever played (may also be PD contradicting #16 but I didn't know at the time I was eight years old)

16. Azarian - the first public domain game I ever played 17. Championship Manager Italia - started something of an obsession that only ended in 2014, 21 years later 18. Euro Truck Simulator 2 - thought it was a joke at first but it got me back into PC gaming and I have >1000 hours on this and ATS

13. Night in the Woods - I don't often see any of my political viewpoints represented in games even when it's only implied 14. Life is Strange - it's Life is Strange 15. I Was a Teenage Exocolonist - "The child you were will not return" applies to a lot of this list and the past in general

10. Frontier Elite 2 - sorry I enjoyed this more than Elite 11. Driller - taught me to use a mouse and joystick at the same time, a skill I have now lost 12. Mass Effect - it's Mass Effect, when the legendary edition came out I raced through Virmire to see the citadel approach scene again

8. Deus Ex - it's Deus Ex. I did some game design modules at university and got told off for starting a proposed game blurb with "It is the year...." so I brough the DX box in to make a point 9. Balance of Power - this was a bit facetious for geopolitical reasons

6. Jimmy White's Whirlwind Snooker - I keep seeing this "complete" on Ebay but it never comes with the chalk. 7. Time Bandit - a demo came with my first ST so I spent a lot of time playing this
