Thanks for the news. I always liked that ancedote; too bad it never happened.
This is a fascinating case of uncited info spreading around on the internet. It wasn't just a theory in the "community". This was in numerous articles in mainstream publications.
The first mention of this (known to...
Great concept of "mind space". If the internet had a 10 commandments that appeared in towering font when signing on, on that list would be "Thou shalt not send unsolicited pics."
Sunrise - great thread title (and impeccable taste in games). I hope your heartfelt plea for courtesy and civility...
I'm enjoying this thread and all the different perspectives.
I think people have different approaches, and one isn't necessarily the best for everyone. One typical of the male mind: approach everything with a plan. It's not all that nefarious. It's just a way to approach things, including a...
Tenebrae:
I'm quite late to this thread, as I have not been very active on the forum of late. But I had to chime in, as I found your musings interesting. Intellectual meditation on perversion can be fascinating (Philosophy in the Boudoir was always a favorite.)
Like you, I am very much into...
Beautiful. You captured Joan Ferguson perfectly. And I love the framing as a letter. I hope this is the beginning of a series... Those poor exploited women... ;)
Her feet were freshly lotioned too. Her soles were like butter. I've never tickled her feet from behind her back like that. It was hot as hell, stroking her soles while I whispered in her ear.
She is getting really good at making these loops with the toons. Repeating the best parts, or adding...
Couldn't agree more! Maybe a bit sad too, but still hilarious. Sad that someone's entertainment comes from trolling (aggravating) others. A petty way to entertain oneself.
On topic: My story peeves are similar to those others have expressed on the thread.
Dealbreakers: Lack of paragraphs...
What I gleaned from it: They are attempting to create a protocol which would allow a user's data from (for example) Facebook to be transferred to any other social media platform. The user would own and control their social media identity and data, rather than any particular platform.

Agreed, it was great to meet everyone and have a normal, relaxed evening out with people in our community. It was a very nice group and the conversation flowed easily. Special thanks to our excellent host, Sunrise, for putting it all together. I'm looking forward to seeing you all at the next one.
You're right that NWR draws more from the 80s aesthetic than the 90s. I guess for me there's bleedover between the decades -- the early 90s are still part of the 80s, except for Nirvana heralding the end of hair metal. (The Crow was published in 1989. Foreshadowing?) But is NWR's 80s affinity...
The Marvel shows on Netflix revived the gritty urban vibe for a while. Particularly Daredevil and the Punisher.
In film, the director Nicolas Winding Refn shows nostalgia for that era and style, though with more sophistication. I keep meaning to check out his mini-series (Too Old to Die...
