Good timing

@hattieinduni claims to be too busy writing

I’ve new names for them – Mistress Thesis and Master Funktaster.

slugabed

Also, “Maker-upper-of-wurdz”.

• mistress: a woman in a position of authority or control.
• master: a machine or device directly controlling another.

For @hattieinduni, that is so appropriate. Because the pen is mightier than the sword, don't you know?

So, uh…some of you I know pretty well.

Others I somewhat know?

Others I barely know or don’t know at all!

Where y’all from?

What games do you play on what systems?

You been around these boards for a while, or are you newish?

I don’t mind people knowing my real name and where I’m from…

I’m Dave, 34 (ugh getting old) from Calgary Alberta Canada, on PS4, finally attending college, working to a Business Management diploma.

Cooked in various kitchens for like 17 years…loved the lifestyle (parties, drugs / booze, good food, late nights / sleep all day) but decided a few years ago it was time for a change.

( damn you @system )

Texass

What games do you play on what systems?

BL2, Stellaris, and Divinity OS2 mostly here lately, PC. Made the move from xbone last year

You been around these boards for a while, or are you newish?

been pretty active here for over a year, mostly lurked and asked the occasional question in the BL2 section for a year or so

I’m {redacted} (a few people know but I don’t broadcast it. I work, play, and dad.

[Hattie (Sloth in the time of corona)]

Yay, sharing!

I’m from England, which means I have a sexy accent, repression, and imperial guilt.

I tried to play on a controller once and it was embarrassing, so… PC.

Signed up here ages ago, I think it was when I hit 72 for the first time in Borderlands and was looking for players. Then I came back a while later and discovered off topic, which got me lost

How’s college going? Doing it as an adult can take a lot of grit, I commend you. By contrast I just went straight after school and never stopped, now in my 8th year. I’m doing a PhD, and it hurts. In the English department, so it’s pretty isolated - pretty much all solitary reading and writing, I’m glad I have this community, it makes a real difference. Literally being kept going by the thought of introducing myself as ‘Dr’ - and getting a like from @Adabiviak.

Also, “Maker-upper-of-wurdz”.

Nope. “slugabed” is an actual word. You can thank Shakespeare (probably) for that.

[VaultHunter101 (Flying: throwing yourself at the ground and missing)]

from Calgary Alberta Canada

Huh, I had you pegged as more of a west coast (Vancouver) dude.

[FlamesForAll (It's a SIEGE profile picture!)]

@VaultHunter101 @Raven_Ghosthawk

No, legit Shakespeare!

HAMLET: To be, or not to be - that is the question.

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slugabeds and arvoles of outrageous fortune,

Or to take arms against a sea of troubles…

@VaultHunter101

Also, you’re technically correct about Vancouver…was born there and we lived there until I was 2.

[FunkJunkie (Breunion Boy)]

NURSE
Mistress! What, mistress! Juliet!—Fast, I warrant her, she.—
Why, lamb! Why, lady! Fie, you slug-a-bed.

Romeo and Juliet Act 4, Scene 5

[Tracer (Teamwork is Powerful!)]

I hail from the United States.

I’m not much of a console person, I prefer playing on PC.

I joined these forums years ago, Because I wanted to talk about BL2 and Battleborn.

My name is (REDACTED). But you can call me either: Havocbyte, Havoc, DaydreamTracer or Bacon Hair.

@hattieinduni

Looooove you Brits, and your accents!

(Irish, Scots, Welsh and Aussies, too!)

My dad raised me on Monty Python and other classic British comedies, so I’ve had a lifelong love affair with you folks.

Funny story: went on an all-inclusive week long vacation to Cancun back in 2007.

There were a ton of UK people there, for whatever reason, and all I did was drink a ton and have drunken shenanigans with them all day and night for all my time there. By the 2nd or 3rd day in, I was speaking with a British accent and it persisted for about 3 days after getting back home.

I remember hearing all my fellow Canucks and thinking how weird we all sounded!

ROMEO: Shall I compare thee to a slugabed day?

[Hattie (Sloth in the time of corona)]

[FunkJunkie (Breunion Boy)]

I learned it from you though…

[FlamesForAll (It's a SIEGE profile picture!)]

@hattieinduni @FunkJunkie

Ain’t you heard the news?

The nerds won!

[FlamesForAll (It's a SIEGE profile picture!)]

@hattieinduni

Oh and college is a ton of fun, thoroughly enjoying it, although I still skip / procrastinate more than I should!

Thank you for asking!

[Hattie (Sloth in the time of corona)]

Glad it’s going well!

Procrastination ftw lol. I probably annoy everyone with thesis grief too much on here…

[FlamesForAll (It's a SIEGE profile picture!)]

Sorry, I know im probably posting too much too fast…did you read my Cancun story?
