Tell Randy I relate -- moving at will into another dimension of my industry is one thing -- being unable to connect with a job in any part of the industry worries me. Who thought being a good writer could become last on the product list? Hence starting two books at once, and working on them. A tad weird when you may have a better chance at selling a novel to NYC than any other form of work. ;^)
And nowadays, we learn brand NEW language, thanks to technology. Randy mentioned something not being useful any more, and I replied with "Ah, it's been nerfed," which engendered much confusion. Never occurred to me how game-centric the term is, or that a lot of people haven't heard it before. (To nerf something is to reduce its impact in some way, as a Nerf material does when made into something like a baseball bat. Normal usage applies to stats changing inside an online game, such as reducing the damage done by a weapon or spell, or sometimes a whole character class.)
