Because it's hard to tool up when half your money goes to alimony. Not all of us are millionaires.
Plus, if you had an insurance policy on your wife, her death just landed you a down payment for a proper secret hideout.

Because it was too big. Imagine his surprise.

@error said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:
Some of my RPG characters have, in fact, had sex in-game. One character I did play as a middle-aged man with a liking for naked funtimes with (younger) females, and he did manage to score a few times.
And during another adventure we visited a whorehouse, and as we had time to kill a couple of us perused the available facilities while waiting. While the third spent some time voyeuring on us. And the fourth was the only one thay stayed off the perverted stuff and focused on what we were there to do.
And my tauren may end up getting together with one of the other player characters. The elf complained about lack of warm, furry cuddles (with a pet) and he jokingly offered to provide the service instead. And she accepted. And started sharing bed with him. And now they together off-game until the next adventure. So, uh, yeah.

Man, that's so old-school. These days you roll dice for that sort of thing. Check out FATAL.

The closest I've come was a game in which an NPC (the bad guy) had a thing (turned out it as a cruel, evil, and fatal thing, but whatever) for female elves. My character happened to be a female elf, and I thought it might help with our mission to play along with him, so I flirted back. But the DM wanted no part of it; he said, "Awkward! I'm totally not doing this with you, Dad." And that was the last mention of the bad guy's thing for female elves.

Non-essential stores like clothes and shoe stores are only allowed to admit customers who reserved a timeslot at least 4 hours in advance. This is an improvement over online ordering only.

@HardwareGeek Problem differentiating between the character and player there? I don't think our DM would have a problem with my tauren getting together with his girlfriend's elf if it would go that far.

Ah, a common mistake. A child eating an oversize food item is not actually an example of humor per-se, but of a common pyrite of awwwwww.

Hey, everyone must experience the "Joys" of F.A.T.A.L. at least once.

@Dragoon Well... they do say a problem shared is a problem halved.
Alternatively, it's like being bitten by a zombie. You get the irresistible urge to bite the uninfected.

I never get the part about security being on the way. Do American companies not trust their own employees to check out themselves?

They sure don't! The goal is not just to end the employment but to end it in the most fuck-you way as possible. If you cannot find a parallel in Kafka it is not an acceptable approach to termination risk management.

My half-giant is smarter than the average (Dark Sun) half-giant (this is not hard) and takes every opportunity to improve the species stock, as he sees it. This stopped with deification because it's too dangerous. But, now he's spawned a godling on a natural shapeshifter.

to tool up
Objection. Neither Batman nor Iron Man are even actual superheroes. Tooling up is barking up the wrong tree here. Get -ed by a radioactive -, or get out.

Depends on why they're being terminated. My terminations (layoffs) have always been "goto this meeting, (find out), pack box, walk out". Security is usually only involved for things that security should be involved.

Fair enough, fine. Even I've never been escorted out by security. That I recall. I have had at least one "go directly outside, do not approach your working space" but, either no security or really good security was involved.
However! For mass layoffs or signaled layoffs, and for system administration staff, this changes. Mass layoffs tend to be organized like the shittiest guided tour ever. And you're best off outright assassinating your sysadmin.

I've had a just-fired coworker try to copy all the source files they could get their hands on to a USB stick.
The manager moved over after that ex-coworker hadn't left within 5 or 10 minutes, and a stern lecture followed that this was an illegal activity.
I could see how large companies have gotten similarly burned and thus call security to stop people from doing stupid shit by having a couple of guards standing by...

We had a just-fired coworker go back into our net to uninstall the squid proxy he'd been using to evade said nets restrictions previously. Kinda a weird one, just walk back in, pick up a machine gun nobody knew you had, walk back out.

Well, this campaign is winding down and there's a chance I can inflict this. Need to get hold of the PDF though. I guess I could just cat together a bunch of Zern's Sickest but, probably not the same.

I am attempting to read this now. It appears to be a commentary of a review of a game? What the hell?
Also, the formatting of the site leaves a shitting ton of desire. I saw it mentioned that the guide was 900 pages, but if it was formatting like this page I just question the legitimacy of the complaint...

@Tsaukpaetra it is highly likely that you will find something repulsive in the content. I do not say this lightly.

In case of sudden termination, following a serious infraction? I wouldn't.
On the other hand, last time I left an American company, I was free to walk out myself.
As opposed to when I left a large-ish Finnish-German company, who had a policy of exiting employees being escorted out by their manager. Your employment (and the manager's responsibility of your actions) officially ended with the sound of the door slamming shut behind you.

This is all so weird to me (and not funny, but alas).
The last time I left a company, I got some cake and drinks for my coworkers / manager to say goodbye, and in return they got me a cool laser-engraved glass hologram of myself captured with our 3D body scanner. They didn't exactly slam the door behind me.
-
@topspin It is different depending on whether you are leaving (and remain on good terms, just going elsewhere), whether you are let go because they don't have work for you, or whether you are let go because you committed infraction. Usually security (or boss with a lawyer) is for the last case, except in some particularly paranoid companies.

Hey, that was cutting edge formatting in 2002.
Edit: Apaprently the review was done in 2003, the game released (v. 1.0) in 2002.
