@thetshirtedone I would take the 500k and wake up next to my wife.

@Geekdaddy75 Intellivision! Though my best friend had an Atari.

[dragonbite @drewscorner]

@redwyrmofficial He's not wrong. 🤷

[dragonbite @drewscorner]

@gracieback2 For the original 50: ✋

@linux_deepin I never stay on one distro or DE to make it to the next release so it doens't matter for me (for the dekstop).

[dragonbite @drewscorner]

@tecmint I went with the one that the friend of mine getting me into Linux was using so that when I had questions it was more 1:1.
So if I were recommending I would suggest @Ubuntu because [1] it is consumer-similar & gui-enabled, [2] it's what I use and [3] community.

@itsfoss Something about everything being free so I can see as much about how it works as I want, plus I don't have to buy an expensive Server OS or try to rush through some free trial period to work through it.

[dragonbite @drewscorner]

@itsfoss With Linux I spent time learning, reading and trying which later led me to become responsible for Linux servers at work which has then got me a job title promotion and raise in pay.

So I ended up getting knowledge AND a raise and I didn't have to SPEND money to make money!

@linuxopsys That's what a HACKER would say! ...

[dragonbite @drewscorner]

@Grummz Did Basic and Expert edition have half-elf and half-orcs?

[dragonbite @drewscorner]

@redwyrmofficial Chaos = fun!

One player (a girl) was not happy the other DM made her male character into a female so she extracted her revenge with his character.

She also used a gigantic walking baby with a diaper in need of changing when we were taking too long to act!

@memeslich One casts a massive wall of force around them.
One casts a huge anti-magic shell.
The third is secretly a 50th level Barbarian.

[dragonbite @drewscorner]

@WhittersRichard We were also somehow all related, though 2/3 of the family were halflings and I was a half-elf. Maybe it was the "half" part? 🤔

[dragonbite @drewscorner]

@SandyofCthulhu That was especially nasty at low levels, when you need every level you can find.
Or the poor Magic-user that just learned Fireball, only to loose it! Ouch!
Also made it tricky if only some of the party is unlucky while others are smarter and stay out of reach.

[dragonbite @drewscorner]

@system76 2003. Started with Red Hat (pre-Fedora & @RHEL) because that's what a friend was running and figured it would be easier if when I am bugging him with questions we're running the same distro.

Then @gentoo before Edubuntu (family computer) and on until @ubuntu or @fedora today

[dragonbite @drewscorner]

@turingpi Build

[dragonbite @drewscorner]

@RyanEls4 Basic & Pascal ('89)
Then VBA

[dragonbite @drewscorner]

@WhittersRichard That is, until we reached about level 100 😉.

College had 2 DMs to alternate each session. The rule was you pick up where the other left off, but you don't get their notes and you can do anything.

We did set up an overarching campaign but he wanted to DM the final piece. OK!

[dragonbite @drewscorner]

@WhittersRichard You, Richard, are a sage of my youth! Ah, it feels good to go back.

Graph, or hex, paper was either for mapping out the dungeon or sometimes for combat. Otherwise it was up to the players to keep track of where and when we turn.

We did a mix of modules and homebrew.
