You know you're a Sindomian when you use clonemesia as an excuse IRL for forgetting something important. :D

By pfh at Dec 17, 2018, 9:04 AM | 0

You think of paying someone IRL to do something as "spreading the opportunities around to other players".

By Supermarket at Dec 17, 2018, 12:52 PM | 0

You are talking with your foreman and construction crew about something and reply with a thumb's up and say, "Aces." to some good news. That definitely caught some looks.

Your family is worried because you stare at a "black screen" for way too long.

By villa at Dec 17, 2018, 9:26 PM | 0

When your brother walks in and you try to explain that you're playing an in-game shooter game inside a textbased roleplaying game, and all they see is text.

Also write 'say' and such all the time in other games, as well as 'l' for 'look'.

…when you start asking the people around you if you can do anything for them or if they have a job for you, when you're already gainfully employed...

By md5fungi at Dec 24, 2018, 3:18 PM | 0

When you start spelling numbers in text conversations and writing "one kay" or "a stack" for money and expecting people to know what that means.

When you start assessing the ambient population of locations.

When you haven't had your nails done in a while and feel like it's time to update your @nakeds.

I once accidentally said 'look' in the middle of a dm with a friend, and I had to salvage that by making a hot take. Never again.

By Lionion at May 11, 2019, 8:37 PM | 0

I've had a moment where I've looked out my window IRL and said,"Look Window" aloud. And then had my family be like… "WTF?"

By RheaGhe at May 11, 2019, 8:38 PM | 0

When a coworker says that Rae from accounting wants him to expedite a job or else she's going to complain to management, and your first response is to laugh and say she has no leverage on him.

By ynk at May 13, 2019, 7:55 AM | 0

I type ‘l’ instead of ‘ls’.

My husband and I went in search for "shoes for manos".

By Manywaters at May 24, 2019, 11:45 AM | 0

Hello-marmalade: I do the same thing ALL THE TIME. I fixed it though.

vim .bash_profile (or .bashrc)

alias i="ls"

By Slither at May 24, 2019, 1:29 PM | 0

Hah! I had actually considered making a bash profile with a bunch of aliases mapping to Sindome commands just for fun. Things like 'look' for'ls' and 'go' for 'cd' and 'trash' for 'rm'. Never did though. :P

When you catch yourself worrying about your SIC bill as you reply to some inane text message.

OH GODS YES. My search history is suddenly full of guns, weapons, and research on illegal activities. 😅

You get texts like this

By HolyChrome at Jun 29, 2019, 1:24 PM | 0

You go on lunch at work OOC and go back to work IC..

By mindkontrol at Jul 1, 2019, 1:19 PM | 0

Oh, I have a list.

1. You have a meeting with your senior VP at work about an issue. You come to an agreement and say, "Aces" to them and hope they don't notice how weird you sound.

2. You refer to work to your spouse as "biz."

3. You see someone in an outfit that doesn't remotely match and think, "Someone just came through the gate."

4. You hope to god no one looks at your search history, because no one one the planet will believe it's for character research.

By DoveCage at Jul 16, 2019, 9:06 AM | 0

When you google search the amount of a similar drug it takes for a common person to Overdose to figure out how tolerant to dope your character is.

By Seir at Jul 16, 2019, 9:08 AM | 0

Oh, I forgot one.

You are now forced to backspace on your texts incessantly, because you keep speaking in your character's dialect instead of your own.

You start replying to instructions and information with "Scan".

Definitely a few weird looks.

By Java at Jul 29, 2019, 11:49 PM | 0

@Slither: That's adorable. 😁

Instead of emojis I've been caught typing "smile" or "giggle" or "grin" or "wink"

OH AND I WAS FORCED TO USE A LINUX AT WORK FOR A TASK, AND I KEPT TYPING L TO SEE WHAT WAS IN THE ROOM.

THANKS I HATE IT.

When someone at work or near home I know in passing suddenly asks me my name and I eye them warily and ask, "Why?"

By Warlord203 at Jul 30, 2019, 8:02 AM | 0

When there's a group of dudes always playing cricket at the park by your house and you walk by and catch yourself eyeing the cricket bats thinking 'That's a lot of chy over there'.

@Warlord: I'm so much more conscious about innocuous IRL paydata I drop in casual conversation. 😅

When you wonder if you can set up a disguise IRL. mouth mask, hood, rain poncho… Just because you want to get there and don't want to be noticed, but it turning into the opposite, because, you know, no one walks around like that.
