My EDGELORD son just gave a delinquent teen $100 of his birthday money for a $30 cell phone. The kid he bought the cell phone from has told him he will get back to him in a few weeks with a different $70 smartphone to match the $100 my kid paid him.

...Jesus Christ.

1. The $30 phone is probably stolen or shady.
2. Since my kid is an EDGELORD, when I asked him "why didn't you just give him 30 for the cheap phone and tell him when he has the better phone, you'll give him the $70 then? Don't pay for promises in cash, kiddo." his response was (basically) WTF DAD YOU THINK I'M A FAILURE, U DONT GET IT, AUGH, BlackVeilBridesMyChemicalRomance!!!

Love that kid, with all my heart, but he can be so dumb.

Normal until the difficulty makes it a cakewalk, then I step it up.

For story-based games, it's the story I want. For challenge/grind type games, like Diablo 3, I'm currently running on my seasonal bit on Torment 4

You could zip them up and then upload them to Google drive

Once, in D&D, we were trying to sneak past a sleeping, blue dragon. We were too weak to fight it, but the only way was through its cave, so we opted to try to sneak (turning back around would have taken days off of our travel).

Half of the group was past the point of no return when the thief in the group decided to sneak attack the dragon in the EYEBALL. We were successfully sneaking past it before Douche Baggins decided to try to SOLO the fucking dragon.

It woke up and threw electricity everywhere.

80% party death. Right there.

One of my favorite ways an RPG system approached stuff like this was in Eclipse Phase. In the setting Earth is a destroyed nightmare wasteland, which requires all of society to live in space on stations, habitats, etc. It's a trans-humanistic setting.

In the flavor text around culture and how it's approached, they mention that since money isn't needed anymore; that old, obsolete Earth concepts had become a sort of fashion.

• A gypsy-esque coin bra made out of nickels and dimes
• A lucky chain keepsake of a tearing from a $5 bill trapped in a clear, plastic case
• Old AMERICAN EXPRESS and DISCOVER cards hanging from a mobile in a cramped habitat dorm room

@Apu @Thenomain Or, in my preferred way of thinking, that kind of like how some people nowadays are really into Greek Mythology (or at least enjoy a good toga party) that somehow, despite the passage of time, someone thought the Hello Kitty (perhaps an image in an archive, a museum, or an old photograph of teenaged girls from Earth that was) was fucking cute as hell and had it printed it on a tee shirt.

Digging up old culture references from the past is way more explainable that drudging up pop culture references that haven't happened yet.

For the record, I thought Kitty's Hello Kitty shirt was badass, even while she was tasing my character and two others in an ill-advised, completely accidental shower brawl incident.

"HAT TRICK"

@Apu said in Course Corrections:

Kitty, my engineer gal on Serenity, had a (very) vintage Hello Kitty shirt

Alas, Firefly canon actually includes Earth That Was. It's in canon that the greater Firefly universe is a direct, forward-in-time descendant from our time.

Battlestar Galactica goes the other direction. BSG predates historic Greece.

And Legos, Sweden, Zorbing, etc.
