...my wife had a walkman which folded down to the size of a cassette case...
...my first thought: doonesbury was kind of the granddaddy of the genre...
...down to 49% now as the votes keep coming in; the russian propaganda apparatus reaches deep but not yet that deep...
...yes, it's better for him to survive the next 50 months than the alternative: bart simpson in the white house vs. someone competently malicious...
...by 'attack' are we talking signal-jamming, hacking, or physical disruption?..
...ye gads, i adore aerial but most of her ouvre pre-ninth wave does nothing for me...
...marvel super heroes also featured a resources ability to represent financial maneuvers akin to lines of credit; it felt frustratingly abstracted as a teenager living in a discretionary cash economy, but after several decades as a real-world adult i realise that it's an elegant abstraction for how people actually live...
...i was going to say flashback or mean streets, but no, it was definitely the original tron arcade game; that pre-dated even war games...
...before a certain point in the early eighties, the line between cyberpunk and science fiction gets pretty blurry, so i don't think anything i played in the seventies counts...
...i think we explored this place in our call of cthulhu campaign; poor henry was reduced to black ooze...

...how would you characterise dominate person cast with indefinite duration?..
...upcasting dominate person at eighth level can maintain up to eight hours with concentration, so i'd be inclined to consider twenty-four hours duration equivalent to a ninth-level spell, but perhaps i'm under-gauging the difference in power between eighth and ninth-level spells?..
...regardless, in this particular case it was cast with indefinite duration plus disadvantage on the saving throw against a hostile player character, which i'd like to translate into mechanical terms: maybe a ninth-level casting with heightened metamagic plus silvery barbs?..
...i'm playing with a DM who has a poor grasp of fifth-edition's mechanical balance and i'd like to help him understand just how adversarial his homebrew and houserule tendencies are leaning, especially for early tier-two gameplay...
