Well folks, happy nude rear i guess.

And may the gargantuan scaly dragon booty bless us with it's glory.
 
So, guys, I have this dilemma of mine. Imagine for a second that you're old man with depression and emotional problems reincarnated in a medium fantasy world.

Now what?

This one actually feels like one of those over long light novel titles would work here. Old men just want to relax.

"I'm depressed and emotional, so I opened a pizza shop in a fantasy world!"

Once I heard, "I took a cellphone to a fantasy world" was an actual light novel title, I realized anything was possible, really.​

How old exactly? I mean, there is a bit of a difference between being in your 50s and being in your 80s.

EDIT:
Wait, reincarnated. So new body. Okay.

Well, assuming education isn't that easy to come by in that setting, become a merchant? High School Mathematics could go a long way by themselves. Add several decades of experience, and you can throw quite the weight around.

It depends. If the new world is garbage? Find a way back home.

If the new world is better than the old one and/or the old one had nobody I cared about left? Do everything I regretted not doing in the previous world.

Define Medium Fantasy and what you mean by Reincarnated.

Medium - there is supernatural and such, but its more like Overlord without Momonga and cast. Like there are some strong dudes, but they are rare and between, world has magic but not in the sense everybody and their mom can cast a spell, etc. Magic is not so common. There are also fantasy races. And its on a darker side of worlds. (if 1 was konosuba, 30-35 modern world and 100 warhammer, than you're ~60)

As all fantasy-like it has a medieval theme. Alchemy is popular here. There are wizards that can cast spells, but they are usually busy being smort and stoding in their towers/academy, so if you are a commoner and can't pay pretty steep price just go to the alchemist, who can make watered-down version of what you want but cheaper. Also you don't need to be a mage to learn alchemy, at least up to middle stage elixirs, so if you know your way about medicine/herbology/math/cooking you can make a good penny.

By reincarnated I meant, that you always had this strange feeling, you know? Like, you are going through your life with a sense of deja vue, just repeating motions, you had done already. Sometimes after sleep, you wake up with madly beating heart and crying, but you don't know why you do. Then, it happened. There was this infamous heretic, escaping prison and killing dozen guards in the process. Church decided to make publical execution. Of course your medieval family couldn't resist such a show, and you have visited. It was your first time seeing death, but it served as a catalysator. Everything came crashing down - all those visions, weird feelings, sudden emotions that weren't your own they were. Suddenly, everything just clicked and you remembered.

You're able to look at your past life with a certain level of detachment. Because memories were coming to you in pieces and not at once, you had time to acclimatize and in result are more sane and put-together person that previous you. Though more sane and sane are different things...

Ah, yes, I forgot to say it. You reincarnated in the middle of xenopobhic religious Empire, that wage wars against half continent, and the other half you just conquered. Church doctrine dictates that only humans have soul (that's not true but who care, not church), and other non-humans are no more than a cattle (That's how they justify slavery, though funny thing, if you sin enough anger church than your soul blackens and now you're heretic and no better than non-humans.). Everyone hates humans, and for good reasons.

You are traumatized old man, with good education and a lot of practical knowledge of bulding/crafting things (Like, insert up to 15 phds and it'll be okay lore wise). Also, no, you don't have anyone you care about waiting for you there. Definitely not your family.

For a long time you had an incurable disease, that made you isolated and mentally unstable, before finally your wife and brother decided to end your sufferings. This illness is a part of the why you are fucked up in head, like spontaneous sociopathy, sometimes emotional breakdowns and suicidal behavior. Aside from that you are cinnamon roll.

Any advice to not seem annoying to people online?

What the fuck did you say to me? I'll have you know-
I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
 
I just had the weirdest interaction with a group of teens. They asked if I could take a picture with them. At first I thought they wanted me to use their phone to take a photo of them, but it turns out they wanted a photo of me with them. Kind of weird, but I agreed and they took the photo and went on their way. Keep in mind I'm a security guard in uniform. It's a shit job but it pays the bills. So I'm not sure why they wanted a photo with me. Maybe they'll use a photo editing app to make me look like an idiot, but I had my face mask on so it's not like I will be at all identifiable.

Could've needed a photo with a guard for some kind of dare or scavenger hunt...

...or they were trying to distract you...

...or it could be photoshopped for something even worse than making you look dumb, like making it look like you had your hands somewhere you shouldn't

Uhh... does your uniform include a nametag or anything like that? Were there any distinguishable location features in the background? Or could someone with access to your work schedule compare it to a timestamp on the photo?

Okay, odds are I'm just being paranoid... but there's always a non-zero chance that something will turn out to be the worst-case scenario.

I suppose that's possible, but I don't see it turning out very well for them. There are security cameras monitoring the area.

I don't have a name tag. My jacket doesn't even say what security company I'm with. They couldn't be more than 15 at the oldest so there is no way they could get access to my work schedule.
 
If they're in high school it could have been an assignment from their english or history class. I've done weirder for my assignments before.

Another possibility, they could be on a photo scavenger hunt and needed a picture with someone in a uniform.

Fortunately the site I work at never allows pictures so I don't have to worry about my guards having that issue

Went to the grocery store where I used to work, and I ran into some of my old co-workers. They asked me to come back to work with them.

Haha, no.


I feel sorry for the poor sods and how overworked and understaffed they are, but not enough to go back to work for that place..
 
How is everyone? Like how are you all doing? Usually I only post when I'm mad or just asking random questions. So you tend to see me at my neutral to worst. I realize that is a problem.

And I'm being better now.

So I'm wondering how everyone is doing. Like are you guys or girls okay?

I feel, as usual, like locking the door and never opening it again. So quite normal, thank you.

Well, Schools back in and with it, the million and one administrative nightmares that come with. On the flipside, I have Rise and the modding scene has started up. I could be much worse.

However, regional Australia has a major meat shortage, so I'm having to make the meat I do have last. I've got a butterflied leg of lamb that I'm considering Dry Aging to make last longer. Normally I wouldn't but the shelves are basically empty.

And no, Long Sword guys, I don't care that replacing Critical Juncture with Sakura Slash lowers my potential output. I despise the shear amount of counter filler in Rise Movesets and I never land the counter anyway with my trash ass reflexes. My goal is to have fun, not to be a puritan.
