I have to address something briefly that has been eating up a lot of my time. It’s a small freeware game called decker.
It’s a cyberdecking simulation loosely based on shadowrun’s decking system. It’s hella fun.
You cruise this little icon thorough node after node, busting ass to find the piece of data or system access point you are searching for. If you can’t do something, you might have to give up, jack out, and retry towmorrow with an updated deck.
Your character devolps in skill as you program your own software and burn your own chips. There is a black market menu you can buy things on at hugely inflated prices. You hack into systems like “Me, Myself, and I Cloning” and “Noah’s livestock engineering.”
The levels are randomly generated, but they increase steadily in complexity.
The only thing that keeps this game from being one of those life destroyers is the fact that it has no real story – you are just a generic merc hacker out for money.
I’ve done something horrible just now. I was cleaning my fishtank (my actual fishtank, it’s nota metaphor this time) and I dropped one of my betas. it was scary, but being a tough fish, he survived.
The horror of this incident has taught BIg Blue Fish to respect me as his aqua-lord, but it has only watered the seeds of rebellion that grow within the heart of Cindy, the fiesty young creature I intend to make his mate (they are both male, but I figure if I withhold food I can force them into “the lifestyle”)
Forcing bettas to have a homosexual relationship is definitely an aqua-lord thing to do. Careful that Cindy doesn’t come at you from some dark alley, hog-tie you and leave you for raccoon food.
It could happen.
I would never force a fish to be gay. They are already gay – I’m just trying to get them to be gay with each other. Jeez. I’m not some kind of sicko. I’m just playing a little game of undersea yenta.
JESUS-GOD MAN! Your post took a hard left hand turn outta nowhere and it made me laugh so hard, Pepsi came out my nose.
I’m glad this isn’t my computer.
Poor fishies. I used to have a huge-ass (read: Hugh Jass) aquarium and got 2 betas. I had a monkey-load of other fishies too. I think this was a 150 gallon sucker. Man, I don’t rememeber. I know when my friend dropped his end one day when we were cleaning it out, and it cost $350 to replce. Where was I…. I had to get a seperator things because the beta would attack each other. Dumb things. They must not run in packs in the ocean. Or swim in school even. Where was I going with this?
Oh never mind. I miss my aquarium. Dammit.
That game sucks. I can’t get anywhere. The first level is impossible. I mean, how am I supposed to know where to ‘extract to’?
thanks, and cool on stoping by my site, catch up to you later
The only fish I have had were delicious.
