Worst game launch ever. Guinness World Records called and made that official. Ouch.

Sorry everybody. And thanks for saving not only my ass, but the asses of everyone stuck in the game. That's whole a lotta bacon to pull out of the fire.

I'm on the 10th floor right now, chugging coffee and trying to fix this mess.

Update: Who wants to check out future location targets or where stolen stuff was dropped off? I'm digging through this hot mess and finding some info, while I carefully try to boot some unlucky contest winners out of their game and back to reality.

You not only owe me but our daughter too! And Happy. And Rhodey. Do you have any idea what it was like trying to keep everything out of Morgan's reach AND give press releases at the same time?!

I know I know!

What sort of severance packages are we giving disgruntled ex-employees? Because some of them are pissed off. Obvs.

I'm dealing with that. You need to come home and see Morgan.

That's good.

But uhh, honey? There's still the riot squad I'm trying to shut down and finding the turn-in locations for those stolen 'quest items.' I'm vid chatting so she knows daddy is 100% ok.

Promise I'll go home and crash with the Morgansaur after I'm done. Unless Happy can drop her off? Then she can sit on my lap while I launch a cyber strike on the asshole that's sabotaged us.

Do NOT let her touch anything! And I'm only doing this because I haven't slept for more than an hour at a time since this mess started.

Honey. I love you. But you need to get some sleep and I've been stuck in the world's worst nap, so I'm jacked right now.

Let me fix this. Or try to. I'll jet home afterward and then you can parade me through all of the press conferences where I tell them about what it's like getting caught with my pants down.

The really bad way. Not the "before YouTube pulled the vid down" way.

Ok. Tell them my pants were down. Send pics. Nothing full frontal without pixels. Lots and lots and lots of pixels.

Make sure you do it while Weezer's End of the Game is playing in the background. Soundtracks are important.

Even with 32 bit it would only take three pixels. :P

True, and yet you married a Mechromancer with a high constitution modifier.

I like it when you talk sexy at me.

I know. But you can't test everything yourself anymore. You're a husband and a dad. You have assistants and volunteers. Do you see where I'm going with this?

I know, but you know that I can't stop testing or tinkering with stuff. That would be like me trying not to breathe.

I'll build a shit ton of new safety nets and use a buddy system so you two don't have to worry if I'm going to make it home. Ideally, I do want to make it home. Trust me. I do.

That is never in doubt. And I know you do all of this so we're all safe. That you won't rest until you know we're ok. But you don't have to do it all by yourself. You don't have to be as hands-on anymore.

I think we're gonna have to talk about it later. Because I kind of do need to a lot of this now and it was my game launch I was introing that got effed with and this is personal and

We're not in a great place but it's better than the brain scrambled alternative. Right now I need to fix this so your job's easier. Hopefully we can clean this up as much as possible and everybody can sleep a little easier.

Then I can wake up and start building the world's most impenetrable firewall.

I think Pepper has the "yelling at Tony" part of the proceedings under control. Just let me know when we find the responsible party so I can take my annoyance out on their hide.

Yep, that base is covered. Also working on it. This squirrel is a greased one. Slippery little' sucker.

Thanks for saving my drunk ass.

They're going to be an ex-squirrel when I'm done with them, because I'm going to turn them into a jailbird.

You're welcome.

See? Now its a grudge thing. I'm onboard. 110%. I can't glare through lines of code hard enough right now, seriously.

You know, if your sober ass needs saving? I'm there. For your ass.

Of course it's a grudge thing. Both the personal and the rioting part. Not cool.

I appreciate it. I'm going to try not to get in that position, but I do really appreciate it, Tony.

Majorly not cool. I think I have an eye twitch right now. I hope it's not permanent.

You got my back. I got yours. Embrace it.

I'm going to look stupid answering questions about this with a permanent eye spasm going on.

That's right. Hug it out, bud.

I'm ready and able to check locations for both of those things. Just hit me up with a list and I'll head out.

I'm glad you're out. How are you doing otherwise?

Strange asked me for it too, so he's everyone's portal Uber if you need to get there fast. Here's the current info: 📎[locationlist.file]

[Nat]

Is it bad that I miss the drunk of Past Me? Because I kind of miss that drunk part right now and I'm ok. You know, besides that whole feeling like my new cool thing that I created just crashed and burned without warning. Which pisses me off.

I'll get in contact with him shortly. Those portals do come in handy.

[Tony]

Count me in for the vendetta tour when that gets up and running. I know there's entirely too much damage control to deal with right now.

[info]the_iron_man
2019-12-02 10:30 pm UTC (link)
Yeah, they are.

[Nat]

I still think he's shady AF with sharing info. Sure, he's handy in a pinch and he shows up to help out. I can't really complain too much.

What I can complain about is this asshole covering their tracks so well that I begrudgingly want to hire them back again. Probably to punch them in the face. More than once.

Considering we could have been turned into vegetables, it'd have to be a lot worse. But then again, you've been in space. And that's? A thing.

Yeah, that nearly happened to me. In kind of the same way? It was really weird. I'm over people putting shit into my head and making me think it's something else. Yeah that's definitely a thing. I'm glad to be y'know.. among the .. whatever this is.

I get weirded out at the thought of anything messing with my brain. Just hearing about that is giving me the heebies. Sucks that you went through that and that I probably gave you a major flashback.

If you ever want to get awkward talking about stuff like that, let me know.

It's definitely not fun. Well yeah, but I'm okay. More or less.

Thanks, I'll probably take you up on that sometime.
