the powerpoint meme



the powerpoint meme

Look. You know your character is a nerd about something. There's a hill they want to die on, there's a topic they want to argue about. Here's their opportunity to make their case. This isn't a strict meme. Your character's powerpoint presentation can be an actual powerpoint, a bulletpoint list, images made in paint, description of a video they filmed... however they would like to make their presentation.

some things that they can be making presentations about: ranking various items/people/concepts, why _ is better than _, the ocean is/isn't soup, what constitutes a sandwich, etc.

That long? Damn. So you’ve seen everything, the good and the bad. Crowded, and more earthquakes too.

That's nothing compared to how long I've been alive, dear boy.

And yourself? How long have you lived here?

You probably saw cars come into existence. Planes? Did you know the dinosaurs?

I was there maybe…4 years at first. Off and on in my early 20s.

Alright, don't go that far back or I'll think you're being impertinent. [ He's grinning though. ] The 18th Dynasty of Egypt. Nowhere near dinosaurs.

Hmm. And you left, is it a sore subject why? It is expensive here. Most people get tired of losing their paycheck to rent and their lives to their paycheck, and so on.

Me? Absolutely not. [a cheeky grin in return] That’s amazing. A lot of things to see.

[a tiny wince] Uh, a little bit. But it was just time for a change. To move on.

Yes. [ There would have been. But he doesn't elaborate on that either, not in the habit of confiding in anyone, no matter how friendly they seem.

Looks like he's not the only one.

And did you go somewhere better, then?

Uhhh that's sort of-- speculative, even on my part. Was it a better time in my life? Sometimes. Are you still there, in 'Frisco?
