Hey, I don't judge. Punching people can be surprisingly cathartic.

Multidimensional energy? Not something I know much about, but I dig your wiring layout.

[franciscoramon]

ok, true.
i did punch my asshole coworker once and it was pretty much the best thing ever.
tho in my defense he was trying to escape after this whole thing where he tried to bring down a bridge with a bunch of civilians on it
and melt the flash's organs using sound waves
and also he blew me up and gave me a concussion
so pretty much he royally had it coming.

it's the stuff that makes up the multiverse
the portal to this place operates using multidimensional energy, i'm sure of it
and there are other ways of manipulating it

[buildsomething]

I think when someone attempts to blow you up with malice aforethought, you are pretty much obligated to punch them. At minimum.

I'll take your word for it. As long you don't accidentally end up sending yourself somewhere else.

[franciscoramon]

only reasonable thing to do.

i don't think that's possible
that kind of thing would take a whole lot of focus and practice
probably. idk, it's not like they've got scientific papers about this stuff back home
i'm just sort of theorizing as i go

[buildsomething]

Theorizing is important. Using things without proper testing possibly less so.

Not that I speak from experience or anything. That would be bad procedure.

[franciscoramon]

use tech without proper testing???
i would never!!!!

[ Okay the sarcasm is pretty strong there but he is actually kind of touched by the concern so he follows up: ]

only in emergencies tho
i know i'm coming off flippant but
i'm being very cautious with them, i promise

[buildsomething]

I'm just saying. There are only so many times you can slam yourself into the ceiling before you wonder if maybe you shouldn't be doing that.

Not actually worried. Might just not know enough to be worried, but you wouldn't be telling me about it if you didn't have it in hand.

[franciscoramon]

😱😱😱😱
yeah zero ceiling slamming is the ideal for sure.

thanks. appreciate the vote of confidence.

you been working on anything interesting lately?

[buildsomething]

Yeah, would not recommend.

Building computers for a coupe people. Not anything too fancy, but it keeps me busy.

[franciscoramon]

flight stabilizers took a while to get right?

[ An educated guess, from what he's seen of the Iron Man suit, and what he knows about tech. ]

hell yeah
that reminds me i gotta show you the gaming rig i put together sometime, it's sweet

[buildsomething]

Something like that. Flying takes some practice.

Are there even any games here or are you making those too?

[franciscoramon]

yeah the atom sucked at it for a long time when he first started the whole superhero gig

there are some! you just gotta know where to look
but i may or may not have been designing a couple of my own
just for fun

[buildsomething]

I admit to nothing in regards to sucking.

Yeah? What are you working on?

[franciscoramon]

i'm new to the whole actually making games thing so right now it's a pretty simple puzzle game
kinda physics-based like portal except instead of solving shit with portals it's solving shit by altering the vibrational frequency of various objects
and with much shittier graphics and no voice acting cuz turns out i'm terrible at that
like real real bad.

[buildsomething]

Acting is harder than you think. And puzzle games probably don't need it.

Sounds interesting, though.

[franciscoramon]

careful or i'll make you a beta tester.

[buildsomething]

What, a chance to poke code until it breaks? No please, anything but that.

[franciscoramon]

i'm considering that text as a legal agreement to be a tester, no takebacks, sorry, i don't make the laws

[buildsomething]

Laws are laws, it's true. Do I need to sign an NDA?

[franciscoramon]

that depends: does it count as a legal non disclosure agreement if i just write the letters NDA on a blank piece of paper and tell you to sign it?

[ He's joking, obviously, even though he's not entirely sure if Tony was. ]

[buildsomething]

Absolutely. All my best agreement negotiations come on bar napkins. Sometimes I just have them sign in blood instead.

[franciscoramon]

that's metal, and also a little unsanitary
