"I never got the Warhammer/computer game thing. Why would you want to spend your time moving fake characters around a fake world doing stupid stuff. Saying that though, I am a highly educated computer scientist. That's just me though. "I mean I suppose the same could be said of any media that isn't a documentary haha | |||
"I never got the Warhammer/computer game thing. Why would you want to spend your time moving fake characters around a fake world doing stupid stuff. Saying that though, I am a highly educated computer scientist. That's just me though. "Same reason other people watch TV shows and movies, the inconsequential result of sports, read books etc. It's an escape from the bullshit of the real world and the bullshit of other people. And enjoyable escape. | |||

It's an escape from the bullshit of the real world and the bullshit of other people. And enjoyable escape. "^this^ - sometimes i like to be challenged and have to concentrate on a program - others I like to watch playdoh for the brain!  | |||
"PC gamer, need to start picking up some table top games as enjoy Settlers of Catan and Lords of Waterdeep at friends. Also has been far far too long since last played Cards Against Humanity" I do adore settlers of catan, been a while however. | |||

"Although I adore my video games, dnd, board games. My speciality is Social Deduction games, though I often play moderator and watching the chaos unfoldMafia, Secret Hit*er, Two Rooms & A Boom, Hellapagos, Recently got a game called Speakeasy and planning a big 20/30 player session of it!" Ooo interesting, give me the low down on speak easy | |||
"Why would you want to spend your time moving fake characters around a fake world doing stupid stuff." Oh no, wait until you hear about Real Life. Which is the fakest world ever with gameplay involving Society, The Economy, Laws, Taxes  | |||
"Ooo interesting, give me the low down on speak easy "Two teams, Mobs & Feds and people get secret passphrases to identity allies, but teams have rats and a variety of abilities and point acquiring. It's played over an hour and end of it your team has to figure out the rats, passphrases and roles of the other team! Everyone mingles! Also got to do a massive 50 player event in Bristol for two different custom written games, played over 3 acts with secret objectives, Currency and murder. So Speakeasy is the closest I've found without having to write it all myself! | |||

| |||

| |||
"Playing games leaves no time for sports. Also more girls at the gym." Ok. Glad you've got your thing you enjoy. I didn't realise it was a competition or that sports were supposed to be something everyone likes. | |||

"Playing games leaves no time for sports. Also more girls at the gym." I also go to the gym, stay physically active, go to kinky parties -- the lot Sports themselves bore me tbh. Doesn't mean I can't lift weights, go for runs, and such But I guess I'm not a well-rounded individual because of all the vidya gaems | |||
"I’m a knitting nerd if that counts "All things count if you get excited by it | |||

| |||

"Does having a collection of 40,000 plus comics make me a nerd? Am I more of a nerd if I say I've got most of them indexed, or less of a nerd by admitting that the index is incomplete? Does having thousands of books make me a nerd or a bibliophile? What if many of the books could be classified as science fiction or fantasy? What if some of the books are poetry? What if some are science and mathematics text books? What if I have the complete works of some authors? What if I don't have the complete works of some authors? Is it nerdish to have a large collection of OS maps? Am I disqualified as a nerd because I don't have the full set? Do nerds like progressive rock music? How about non-progressive rock? Mid 19th century tone poems and romance music? English folk music? English folk music as evolved by Jah Wobble? Perhaps I am a Schrödinger's nerd, simultaneously nerd and not nerd as long as I stay inside my box... Or I have Heisenberg Uncertainty about my nerdishness... " I would say welcome to the nerd gang | |||
| |||
"Model aircraft maker. Pc flight simulator. Nerdy and I’ll shout it out loud. I quite doing the sex occasionally too. Which sims, I'm well down the dcs rabbit hole now." I too am in that same rabbit hole of DCS. I’m currently doing study level simulating of the F/A-18C. Have just downloaded a slightly redacted version of the NATOPS manual for the jet. | |||

"Currently "hiding" 6 years of research into Lithuanian farm brewing and maybe the earliest (dated and verified) Lithuanian mead recipe..... Cause I do not want to try and bring it all into a proper educational paper." Could you possibly send me the recipie? Started making mead last year and running out of recipies. I have a Polish recipie that I've done but personally it's too acidic for my tastes | |||
"Should we set up a nerd discord "Yeah maybe | |||

"I built my own PC, does that make me a nerd? With Lego? Because that would be +300 nerd points " Whereas only using components and such would only get you 150. I'm sorry, thems the rules | |||

"I built my own PC, does that make me a nerd? With Lego? Because that would be +300 nerd points " lol I think these days it probably does. I built my first several pcs in the 90's and early 2000's but lots did and you could save a bomb back then. I used the same floppy in maybe four or five distinct pcs I remember, more even than the towers. I just assume now that with less components the savings aren't really there. And I went for a really powerful laptop last time anyway. pt | |||

I have a Polish recipie that I've done but personally it's too acidic for my tastes" Okay for the denizens I apologise but I am happy to share the translation as far as I have got it; Cap 24 Let be taken a certain quantity of good honey, pure and whole, along with a predetermined quantity of the prepared [material], which you know, for example: ten pounds of honey, and forty pounds of water, more or less, mixed to the desired strength. Let the water be heated in a cauldron (hot bath) or copper cooking-pot, or great bronze vessel, the honey put inside, that it may be well cooked, and skimmed. Let be cooked likewise hops separately, in a little sack, in what is said to be the superior manner, to the quantity of one pound, or less, along with a quantity of honey and water which having been decocted and water boiled and skimmed, is to be rested until it has cooled a bit, and the sack of hops placed in the same decoction, and six beers (!?) or yeast that it may be well covered up above, and let it stand for one day and night; and finally this having been decocted, or stirred up, let it be put back very completely into a clean vessel. and it will be the most delicate and most healthy drink. which will either be able, having rivaled wine or in necessity, it having refuted the vines most agreeably to serve indeed its dignity among the most precious liquors that merit being obtained. It has, indeed, in its family all the color, flavor, scent, and hidden strength of healing, and character of strengthening in the most robust people, of nearly whatever sort of wine he has in his perfect estimation. If truly you are able to have a more moderate mead, or one might wish to have stronger, one may add following this, or may subtract honey in comparison to the decoction. And this has truly been told to me at Rome in 1543 by the venerable man Lord Martin Pole of the Penitentiaries of Gnense [???] of whom and his hand such mead having gratefully tasted and who has performed benevolence and also thus charity of wine rising in Rome most agreeably will be able to become. CAP 25 25: Thus far concerning the precautions of hydromels, or meads, otherwise composed mulses in the Gothic manner Making a great quantity of mead, to the most complaint [??!!: questum is "complaint"; I don't see how that fits] and profit, the northern peoples, whenever they seize (obtain?) a thousand pounds, or two, or three thousand pounds of pure honey with proportional water, and myrtle, which the image of ?? " resembles"?) juniper berries in a humble stalk of a vine of single length grows in a swampy place and begins to mature in August and suffices among the aforesaid peoples for the place of hops, provided that for a whole hour and more, it is cooked with a strong fire, just as hops, but mixing of great honey and water, it comes to a boil for a day and night, and finally the dregs of beer having been added, or baker's yeast, or two days more in its operation, and combination. It is made and among the Goths, especially the Southerners, which drink might be called mulse [mulsum: lit. "extract"], from beer, and honey, and myrtle-berry; which a fourth part in its comparison is assumed; that is four parts beer, and a fourth part myrtle; and this mixture is boiled down on a strong fire, for one hour, or two, until the honey has stopped foaming [or "is skimmed"]; and the lees having come to the top [= fece superposita, dregs having superpositioned] it is completely covered, and covered it remains one whole day and a half, and it comes out the most strong drink; and as it were the ancient hydromel, or mead, a bowl or a pint is filled up, because of its strength it sends out sparkling rays, just as shining iron. These people frequently use this liquor in wedding feasts, and receptions of honoured friends and guests. Nor only in this drink, but the strongest beer always abounds; although this mulse might be devised by artificial adulteration of honey, just as and care of others always mounts up, or creeps in prepared must of diverse fruits; which is a work of cleverness [= trick?], and not of nature. I prefer, nevertheless, wine in its native land, where it is rendered in proportion by its own people, and so forth. Feel free to try and tighten it into a workable mash/boil I am still chasing down the idea that they would move yeasts from village to village by dipping a charred willow branch into the brewing slurry then wrapping that in wet linen and into an oilbag (leather soaked in animal fats like tallow). | |||
