Onan's game! (04a2043f)

I’m up. I could take a pill and wind down. But I’m gonna game for a couple hours, just to do something a bit normal. Probably some Blitz. Water for my next rinse still needs to cool a bit.

Hope my…changes over the past couple weeks…haven’t been too over the top! It will pass.

@francisco.santanna, what time of day, work day, do you usually play your turns, most consistently?

Cheers

Not a time of day specifically.If I’m home and awake…

:laughing: @francisco.santanna , if I may be so bold as to ask–how old are you? I am going to guess that you are the youngest amongst us. Is it true? And…I guess I’m the old fart.

I hit 50 this year. BIG year. J_Dennis is mid 30-s to early 40s. Yeti will be not far off…maybe a bit younger? I forget if he’s mentioned kids. I don’t think he has. So let’s make Yeti mid-late 20s? Or maybe 30s. And then you, are you 24? Just a guess. Because it’s entertaining, especially with your response. Sounds like a university student, so maybe younger…unless you’re doing a doctorate or something.

Okay, I’ll rest my imagination. And play my turn. :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Oh and, are there work days? :monkey_face:

:rofl: I’m 42. I teach/research computer science in Rio. My work remains remote until next jan/feb. Probably not that hard to find me in the Web.

Ah, true. But it’s more fun to hear this little from you. I have a brother in law in Vermont who does some work in the computational story lab, which I need to look up as well, because it matters to me, sounds very interesting. I almost created my own liberal arts major in The Importance of Story as an undergrad. But then I just did English. Which was good.

I’m talking a bit about careers, so…I’ve just returned to being a school counsellor, after a six year break. Before that, I did it in Honolulu, then schools here in Auckland, until after our twins were born, finishing end of 2014. With the boys and the commute I’d had, I needed a break, so I went back to school and studied computer science. Then I was a “software engineer” at a bank for two years. Definitely had impostor syndrome and the work didn’t bring me joy. Liked people too much :slight_smile: So, then I taught (this is the rest of the six year break) high school. Wanted to teach English, but of course, Digital Technologies was way more in-demand. So I did that at three different schools over the next three years, getting my full registration during the start of the pandemic. This year, new school, old career. Full circle. It’s good. I learned a lot along the way.

  1. You know and are the meaning of life, then. :innocent: One of my profs at Massey, Andre…have to remember his last name: Barczak, searched it up. Really nice man, was/is from Brazil. Okay…turn time. 4AM by the way.

I thought you were young because it sounds like your lifestyle is very flexible. Nice!

I’m a 41-year-old software engineer with two kids, ages 9 and 12.

boys, girls, the split? We had the two, then BOOM, we got a double whammy!!

:exploding_head:

Figures. I bet @J_Dennis works in some computer-related industry, too. Then, looks like, all of us would be coders. Maybe it’s a civ thing. Could be fun. :man_shrugging:

A friend I used to work with plays a lot of Civ, and I’m trying to get him into PYDT / turn a day style.

So I’ve set up a new game. Check it out the Land of the Lost, here:

You are all reserved a slot, should you want to join. It will take even longer than this game, and, in world, will probably be a bit of a nightmare, with lots of barbs/clans, disasters and more space than you need. Slower speed…see description. Could be a blast! :scream:

How can I join? I enjoy slow games.

You can figure out the password. It’s the opposite of “lost”

Or I can give it to you, but it’s pretty obvious.

@francisco.santanna

Ah, I’m being silly, I mean, who’s reading this forum?

The pw is “found”, no quotes, lowercase.

Hey, @Onanista. Did you activate any new mods or do something in your game? I cannot open the game. I get the error: “There was an error starting the game. We recommend disabling any mods and trying again. Error - Save version is incompatible.”

I’ve disabled all my mods and tried again but the same problem. I even tried downloading the save again.

Thanks, I could figure out.

I know. I’m drugged and sleep deprived. Cut me some slack. :rofl:

Our game?

No, I don’t think I did. Should I revert and pass it to you again?
