Rahabina Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 (edited) Hello Fellow Nerds! I just want to say I notice in the chat most times people are nice and very helpful. On occasion I see some sarcasm and random meanness. Please try to be kind even if you disagree with someone. If a player asks something, like a game question from a newcomer for example, address them in the public chat positively and helpfully and sometimes send them a kind whisper. We are lucky to have Homecoming, those of us from Live were thrilled that we could play our favorite game again and for FREE! So be grateful and keep our virtual full of positive vibes ❤️ v/r, Rahabina Edited December 6, 2021 by Rahabina 8 3 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeregrineFalcon Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 1 6 1 "It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire posts, the posts become warning points. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion." Being constantly offended doesn't mean you're right, it means you're too narcissistic to tolerate opinions different than your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rahabina Posted December 5, 2021 Author Share Posted December 5, 2021 Just now, Krimson said: When I make a toon, I remove General from the main tab and place it in it's own tab. I also delete the Help tab and then make a new one with just Help. That way if chatter gets crazy I can tab away. i just get bored when i farm, often i wake up at like 4am and just look for people in the chat to talk to, this early any chat is nice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeroprism Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) A geek is someone who really goes all out in a hobby or a field. I'm a geek. A nerd is a derogatory word used to tease people who show and value intellect and the accumulation of knowledge. Over time, the word became worn as something of a pride. Being a nerd is good, and valued. I am also a nerd. Then again, by the very definition of CoH, it's a good bet that 99%+ people here know this because they're also geeks. And nerds. We're all the same brothers and sisters of such fine quality. 5 hours ago, Rahabina said: So be grateful and keep our virtual full of positive vibes ❤️ Precisely. 🧡 Edit: Typos because English is not my first language and trying to be eloquent when you mess your verb tenses, well...

And 3, and Advanced. I think I even played a bit of Basic. I got teased, I guess. Probably. Didn't notice, was busy having a good time playing D&D. I have ginger hair and a weird name so if I stopped every time someone made fun of me... People make fun of other people all the time to cover their own insecurity. 29 minutes ago, Rahabina said: The most exciting time in my life was when the USAF let me be a navigator on a KC135, talk about a nerd dream I have absolutely no idea that that is 🙂 (I'll google it) 51 minutes ago, Albion said: You can not be a nerd AND a geek, pick a side, next thing we know you will say you are also a pacifist and in favor of individual freedoms <_< Synonyms where I live.

GraspingVileTerror Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Geography plays a large part in how "geek" and "nerd" get defined, from what I've seen. Kind of like: https://images.huffingtonpost.com/2012-11-09-Screenshot20121109at3.05.00PM.png And that's even before we bring Canada and the rest of the English-speaking world in to the mix. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
