You know you're a Sindomian when you use clonemesia as an excuse IRL for forgetting something important. :D
By pfh at Dec 17, 2018 9:04 AM
You think of paying someone IRL to do something as "spreading the opportunities around to other players".
By Supermarket at Dec 17, 2018 12:52 PM
You are talking with your foreman and construction crew about something and reply with a thumb's up and say, "Aces." to some good news. That definitely caught some looks.
By JMo at Dec 17, 2018 1:01 PM
When you almost called some stuff gomi, or drek :^)

Typing 'say' before every text message and email.

Murder your girlfriend so her clone doesn't remember you trading her EBT for crack.

when people catch you playing at work and they think you're learning how to code
By Roycethe59 at Dec 17, 2018 2:47 PM
Your family is worried because you stare at a "black screen" for way too long.
By villa at Dec 17, 2018 9:26 PM
When your brother walks in and you try to explain that you're playing an in-game shooter game inside a textbased roleplaying game, and all they see is text.
Also write 'say' and such all the time in other games, as well as 'l' for 'look'.
By Evie at Dec 21, 2018 7:36 AM
...when you start asking the people around you if you can do anything for them or if they have a job for you, when you're already gainfully employed...
By md5fungi at Dec 24, 2018 3:18 PM
When you start spelling numbers in text conversations and writing "one kay" or "a stack" for money and expecting people to know what that means.
When you start assessing the ambient population of locations.
When you haven't had your nails done in a while and feel like it's time to update your @nakeds.

When you almost type '@quit' into Google before you go to bed.
By Cinder at May 10, 2019 7:57 AM
I once accidentally said 'look' in the middle of a dm with a friend, and I had to salvage that by making a hot take. Never again.
By Lionion at May 11, 2019 8:37 PM
I've had a moment where I've looked out my window IRL and said,"Look Window" aloud. And then had my family be like... "WTF?"
By RheaGhe at May 11, 2019 8:38 PM
When a coworker says that Rae from accounting wants him to expedite a job or else she's going to complain to management, and your first response is to laugh and say she has no leverage on him.
By ynk at May 13, 2019 7:55 AM
I type ‘l’ instead of ‘ls’.
By hello_marmalade at May 15, 2019 11:24 PM
When someone quotes you a price that is outrageous and you reply "Is that chyen or cents?"
*cough*

When you decide to try food mentioned on SIC.
By Beepboop at May 23, 2019 11:03 PM
My husband and I went in search for "shoes for manos".
By Manywaters at May 24, 2019 11:45 AM
Hello-marmalade: I do the same thing ALL THE TIME. I fixed it though.
vim .bash_profile (or .bashrc)
alias i="ls"
By Slither at May 24, 2019 1:29 PM
Hah! I had actually considered making a bash profile with a bunch of aliases mapping to Sindome commands just for fun. Things like 'look' for'ls' and 'go' for 'cd' and 'trash' for 'rm'. Never did though. :P
By Grey0 at May 24, 2019 1:36 PM
When you catch yourself worrying about your SIC bill as you reply to some inane text message.
By Crooknose at Jun 11, 2019 11:30 AM
When you are at sea world and get off of the Atlantis ride and see the family dryer units charging $5 a use to dry off and think it’s cheap in comparison to $100
By Grizzly666 at Jun 11, 2019 11:32 AM
When you find yourself worrying that some government is going to call you in for questioning because of your search history:
Gang initiations
Organized crime
Illegal hustles
Bomb making
Traditions of elite criminal organizations
Various firearms
Firearm modifications
Risks of performing surgery in unsanitary places
How to pick pockets

How to build up a successful rebellion
How to start a gang
How to embezzle money
Effect of cannibalism on health
How to hack secured servers
How to leave a gang

Etc...
Some of these are generalized just to make the point clear without giving too much away. :-)
By Mobius at Jun 11, 2019 12:12 PM
OH GODS YES. My search history is suddenly full of guns, weapons, and research on illegal activities. 😅
By ynk at Jun 12, 2019 11:36 AM
...when you realize tomorrow is Friday and you find yourself more excited about collecting those sweet DeathBall winnings than you are about collecting your RL paycheck.
By Hek at Jun 13, 2019 9:29 PM
...when your first reaction to 50-down is e-note.
(It's e-zine if you're wondering)
By ynk at Jun 17, 2019 7:33 AM
You get texts like this
By HolyChrome at Jun 29, 2019 1:24 PM
You go on lunch at work OOC and go back to work IC..
By mindkontrol at Jul 1, 2019 1:19 PM
Oh, I have a list.
1. You have a meeting with your senior VP at work about an issue. You come to an agreement and say, "Aces" to them and hope they don't notice how weird you sound.
2. You refer to work to your spouse as "biz."
3. You see someone in an outfit that doesn't remotely match and think, "Someone just came through the gate."
4. You hope to god no one looks at your search history, because no one one the planet will believe it's for character research.
By DoveCage at Jul 16, 2019 9:06 AM
When you google search the amount of a similar drug it takes for a common person to Overdose to figure out how tolerant to dope your character is.
By Seir at Jul 16, 2019 9:08 AM
Oh, I forgot one.
You are now forced to backspace on your texts incessantly, because you keep speaking in your character's dialect instead of your own.
By DoveCage at Jul 16, 2019 9:11 AM
When you come home from work and your apartment door looks like this:

Damn it.
By Slither at Jul 29, 2019 3:16 PM
By Manywaters at Jul 29, 2019 4:53 PM
You start replying to instructions and information with "Scan".
Definitely a few weird looks.
By Java at Jul 29, 2019 11:49 PM
@Slither: That's adorable. 😁
Instead of emojis I've been caught typing "smile" or "giggle" or "grin" or "wink"
OH AND I WAS FORCED TO USE A LINUX AT WORK FOR A TASK, AND I KEPT TYPING L TO SEE WHAT WAS IN THE ROOM.
THANKS I HATE IT.
By ynk at Jul 30, 2019 8:00 AM
When someone at work or near home I know in passing suddenly asks me my name and I eye them warily and ask, "Why?"
By Warlord203 at Jul 30, 2019 8:02 AM
When there's a group of dudes always playing cricket at the park by your house and you walk by and catch yourself eyeing the cricket bats thinking 'That's a lot of chy over there'.
By Jameson at Jul 30, 2019 8:12 AM
@Warlord: I'm
so much more conscious about innocuous IRL paydata I drop in casual conversation. 😅
...also wow I'm calling it paydata, so that's a thing now too.
By ynk at Jul 30, 2019 8:23 AM
I texted someone with "to phone Good morning!"
By ynk at Aug 5, 2019 12:44 PM
When Wicks starts sending you mail IRL.
Also...the food is corpses. I know how exciting this is for...some of you.
By Jameson at Aug 8, 2019 2:03 PM
...when you get sad at the realization that your character can theoretically live longer than you can IRL. ☹️
By ynk at Aug 14, 2019 9:18 AM
...when you get offered a hard drug and your first thought is, "Oh I can try that now without getting addicted!"
By ynk at Aug 21, 2019 3:44 PM
When you wonder if you can set up a disguise IRL. mouth mask, hood, rain poncho... Just because you want to get there and don't want to be noticed, but it turning into the opposite, because, you know, no one walks around like that.

Nice profile picture.
By Stiza13 at Aug 24, 2019 3:00 AM
When you start writing a professional email at work, but you write in it your character's accent and vernacular. Even better is what you don't realize what you're doing at first and have to frantically backspace.
By DoveCage at Sep 10, 2019 10:28 AM
You're on vacation and you use the the holocal in your character's apartment to figure out what day it is.
By JMo at Sep 19, 2019 2:51 AM
You never never use the bathroom and only eat a month old calzone every three days as a gesture.
By HolyChrome at Sep 19, 2019 3:01 AM
Speaking from experience, I see, HolyChrome. 😁
I had to become certified in Linux for my job, and my experience with typing on Sindome has actually helped me get through the frustrating mess that is Linux.
It's a weird feeling to know how to Linux, as if I've misspent my real life UE.
By ynk at Sep 19, 2019 5:48 AM
You have two of your ace kools' progia-11 numbers memorized, but have no idea what your parents phone number is IRL...
...sorry mom and dad.
By JMo at Oct 11, 2019 8:18 PM

I just had my own moment.
...you have a dream where you tell a friend, "If you know anybody who needs someone who (does what your character in Sindome does), send them my way."
By Hek at Mar 20, 2020 10:32 AM
...when you're really craving a soda but you don't dare go outside, so your first thought is "CM Need a runner to bring me a 2-liter of Sprite Zero."
By ynk at Apr 8, 2020 12:29 PM
Happened to me the other night:
Ordered pizza
Went to eat pizza
Mind immediately defaults to "Open box" "Get slice from box"
Also, using slang you never would have without playing Sindome, being hyper-conscious about whether or not your hoodie is far back enough for people to see your face
By Ryuzaki4Days at Apr 9, 2020 2:02 AM
I've almost said "Anor" in vain IRL.
"Toodles" is now a word that makes me laugh uncontrollably thanks to one morning a few months ago.
By ynk at Apr 9, 2020 5:53 AM
I have said Anor unironically several times and had to double take. You're not alone on that one.

The Final Fantasy 7 Remake may as well be a Withmore City story.

You walk into your garage and say "We have too many items."
By Papertiger at May 8, 2020 9:34 PM
When I first started and was HEAVY into Sindome I once accidentally verbally said "say" before saying something to my mom.
By Stiza13 at May 8, 2020 9:36 PM
I've now already used "mona" and "scan" in normal conversation. I fear for my future.
