What do you want to be when you grow up?

Nah, you go where the work is in this game. Some years that's close to home, other years, not so much.Cosby wrote:

Are there any alternatives that you could/would like to get into? Something that would base you in one place if the travelling is the downside.
s'all good

I wanted to be a wwf wrestler! Used to practice a lot, I'm actually amazed me and my brother didn't do any serious damage to each other.
Then it was to be a fireman, but after years of badgering still never got anywhere
@Elm have you seen the Lynx Apollo thing? I was considering it but forgot about it, will have another look as its probably my best bet. -
He did say in the Love thread that he prefers a shorter woman... -
Acclaimed author of fantastical stories. Pity I find writing so fucking hard, eh.

I've only ever wanted (and I've been resisting what now seems cliche) to be an astronaut and a grandfather.
Almost given up on both."Better than a tech demo. But mostly a tech demo for now. Exactly what we expected, crashes less and less. No multiplayer."

Judging by the woman you were talking about in the Love thread, you could be halfway to the second one.

Okay. I want biological grandkids, whose parents I have raised. As I'll probably be a grandfather to a biological kid, that me and the mum had adopted when we were just 17...I'm off the pub, I need cheering up."Better than a tech demo.

I still want to be Case from Neuromancer when I grow up, even though I passed the age he is in the novel almost a decade ago. Maybe I could be Decker in Blade Runner - I've just checked and Harrison Ford was six years older than I was when he played that part. Do you think that will be enough time for replicants to be invented and then for me to train to become a police detective that hunts and eliminates the portion of them that will inevitably and quite justifiably become dissatisfied with their role as slaves to humans?

What makes you think they haven't already?

"Too bad she won't live... but then again who does?" When I worked at HMV Oxford Street I shouted that line really quite loudly to a colleague as he was going up the escalator on a busy Saturday afternoon. That amused a small number of people, and confused a much larger number.

I take it you have not committed the script on Blade Runner to memory...
Or are you just objecting to the fact that I have driven this thread way off-topic? In that case I apologise. I do have a tendency to turn every conversation I'm involved in towards early 1980s rain-slick neon hyper-urban nightscape futurism. It's genuinely very annoying. -

It's like 2005 up in here right now.

I think it's like a dystopian Los Angeles in November 2019 up in here.

Harrison Ford is still six years older than you right? Or did those jacks in your knuckles come with some sort of regenerative implant?

I meant he was six years older than I am when he played Decker. As I suspect you well know. Or he'd have been nine years old. A nine year old Decker, what an adorable detective story that would be. Almost as adorable as Veronica Mars.
And I'm not over fifty. As I also suspect you well know. -
Heh.
I know nothing. Or at least I don't try too. See that C4 ident before the Simpson's where Homer continually grabs the electrified tinny's..."Better than a tech demo. But mostly a tech demo for now. Exactly what we expected, crashes less and less. No multiplayer."

Unless you're getting all meta and we're taking about Dekers replicant age.
-
Griff or whoever it was should survey the population here and do an update pie on age distribution.
We can get wet with means and such. Or at least the chart/maths bastards can."Better than a tech demo. But mostly a tech demo for now. Exactly what we expected, crashes less and less. No multiplayer."

I've made less than 10 posts this week, and that was one of them. What does this say about me, answers on a postcard.

That you're avoiding your Halo Legendary commitments. Damn you and your attempts at self-improvement. -
Oh shit, yeah! Deckard! I am failing so fucking hard at the internet tonight. I can't even name the main character in my favourite film correctly, a film that I purposely derailed a thread to talk about. This is massively embarrassing. I'm going to bed now, or this:

I'd like to go to Mars ahead of Code and move some cups.
My job - and I'd still take it - was to be Alf Thompson from Postman Pat. I love tractors, fields, and the whiff of petrol from a leaky bike tank mixed with fresh hay. I'd grow strawberries and run mad plough.
Which is what an old primary-school friend now does, after inheriting his dad's fruit-stall business and land. And he has a gorgeous house he built a couple of years ago. And a wife.
In working terms, I've never been happier than when I was on the grounds. The feeling of general usefulness from doing manly things did my confidence the world of good. -
