Eyyyyyyy newbie! by twistedwindowpane on 2017-12-09 19:25:00 UTC Reply

Hey there! I'm Twistey, an amateur game dev/writer/etc and lightly-used-bie. I have lots of fandoms, OCs, and original worlds. I tend to focus on gauging the Sueness of characters and the levels of social responsibility in stories (ignoring stuff that's the fun kind of incorrect, like Wolfenstein 3D.) I am really active on the Board on the weekends and other days when I'm not busy all day.

But enough about me, how about you? What are your fandoms? Do you have any prominent pieces of writing? Any agent ideas? What do you plan to do here? I'd love to know more! :D

Finally, for your newbie gift, here's a replica of the Spear of Destiny from the Wolfenstein 3D sequel (ish) of the same name. Give it to your virtual self or your agents and it'll look impressive anywhere! (Sadly, you can't summon demons with it. Giving a newbie the real Spear of something that actually functions akin to the real Spear would be bad.)

Nice to meet you! I hope you have a great time here and welcome to the PPC!

Hi! Welcome to the board! I'm - well, you know who I am, it's right there above the subject. In any case, I read a lot of fanfic, mainly bad ones because they make me laugh. I am currently working on an original world that I discovered hidden in my google drive. So, for your newbie gift, have a piece of eden from Assassins Creed, It could be whichever one you want. If you don't know Assassins Creed lore, it defaults to the Apple of Eden.

Hello newbie! Here, have some chocolate and enjoy your stay!

So what brings you to our corner of the world wide web?

Thanks for the chocolate!

I learned of the PPC through TvTropes, got directed to the wiki, and I started reading. Now I'm joining because it seems like fun.

Would F0 0F C7 C8 (lock cmpxchg8b eax) be nerdy? (nm) by leafeyes on 2017-12-09 22:10:00 UTC Reply

You have out-nerded me! Explain what that is? by twistedwindowpane on 2017-12-10 17:07:00 UTC Reply

(Also, in case anyone's confused, I don't mean "nerd" in a derogatory manner, it's just meant as a joke, kinda poking fun at those who do use it as an insult.)

Nice one, Leaf! by Thoth on 2017-12-11 14:06:00 UTC Reply

See, I was going for ADVENT (xyzzy), so you've out-nerded me here...

Twistey, Leaf is referencing the Pentium F00F Bug, aka F00FC7C8, aka lock cmpxchg8b eax, aka the Pentium Hang Bug. It's famous bug in the P5 architecture that allows any program on the system to halt the CPU, causing the system to hang until it's restarted.

Fandoms by Guardsman Tom on 2017-12-09 15:42:00 UTC Reply

You're right about 40k, I also used to be really into Star Wars, though that's lessened a lot now. Other than that I just jump around to whatever happens to catch my interest.

I also have a pet budgy and a pet turtle. It's not very relevant, but I think it's interesting

Re: Fandoms by Guardsman Tom on 2017-12-09 16:24:00 UTC Reply

No, unfortunately not. I just don't know anyone in my area who's interested in them. Otherwhise I'd be all over it.
