Salted, preferably buttery. I can't stand sweet popcorn, like kettle corn or caramel corn.

What's your favorite kind of popcorn?

regular, buttered.


what is the fastest you've ever gone?

Mach 2.1 - I got bumped onto the Concorde, London to NY, back in the late 1980s. Total surprise, and it was right before Christmas.

The two coolest things I recall are (1) that we were high enough up that you could see the curvature of the earth and the darkening of the sky towards the ionosphere, and (2) we landed in NY an hour before we left London (local time).

Since I was living with a much loved probably-also-Aspie at the time I took very detailed notes about our altitude, airspeed, everything I could think of (the plane displayed stats at the front of the cabin, , ) so he could have the closest thing to a seat next to me. No cellphones then so no pix. But I'll never forget it.

(Edit in: oopsie. It was BA001, how cool is that, and so help me, after we landed and as we taxied in, I was on the "good" side of the plane and got to see BA002 - Concorde NY to London - taxi past on their way out!! !)

(God, those were the days.)

What's the greatest height and/or depth you've ever reached, while still standing on the Earth?

Mac, all the way! (I’m prejudiced. I used to work in the Bawlmer call center.)

^^ Would that be Bawlmer Merlin?

No, it’s how I always heard the natives of Baltimore pronounce the name of the city. (And I always thought the PA Dutch, mixed with the Filthydelphia, Noo Yawk, Bawlmer, Warshington, and Picksburg dialects were hard to handle. If you want real fun, try dealing with cheddar heads (M’waukee) dialects.

Have you ever played a Metroid game?

No

Have you ever used an emulator to play a game?

No. Aren't those technically illegal? [Then again, when has that ever stopped anyone...]

Have you ever played a video game on 'Hard Mode' or higher?

No, I'm sure I couldn't even handle Easy Mode.

Same questiom.

No. I always stick to Easy or Normal.

same question

Yes, as I try to challenge myself when I play, so I'll go for the best that I can handle. But the difficulty I can take largely depends on the type of game.

What game genre are you most proficient in?

Pretty much only fantasy RPGs, with the occasional strategy such as Fire Emblem, or even a platformer if it's Metroid or Castlevania.

same question

Emulators are legal. Pirating the games is not. You can legally use an emulator to run homebrew, or to run a rom of a game that you own in physical copy. It's only illegal if you pirate a rom that you don't own the hard copy of.

I'm most proficient in strategy or simulation games.

Do you like playing RPGs?

by the sound of it no,
we play often boardgames, the old thing,
do you?
