Global Moderators

Nothing obvious out of order. I’ll update us to catch us up just in case. I’ll do it later this week, mid-morning EST. Probably not tomorrow.

Server crashed last night. Sorry about that. I’m looking into why.

Hi, guys:

Any posts elsewhere will be moved to this thread.

This is not a thread for arguments or nasty debates. We will be closely monitoring and moderating this thread in a way that we usually do not.

This is a thread for grieving, sharing resources and help for people who are impacted by all of this (which is all of us, but some more than others).

I will say I have returned to A Place after doing A Thing, and I take back the ‘not as dark’ comment. It can definitely bring the dark.

NEVERMIND. Spoiler does not actually spoiler. Bah.

DAI burnt the shit out of me. I really did not like it. I’m waiting for wider reporting and feedback on Veilguard from people I trust. SO HURRY UP GUYS.

I’m playing it! I’m enjoying it quite a bit - love the characters, enjoy the combat, and the plot is a Dragon Age plot: perfectly serviceable but don’t look too closely at the gaps.

I think there’s still plenty darkness in the setting, but definitely overall the writing and focus is on a lighter, more hopeful tone. There are times I have to remember that IC time and location has progressed quite a bit from Origins, or even Inquisition (“wait, everyone knows the differences between spirits and demons and is cool with the former?” - sure, years after stories about the Inquisition has made the rounds, and in places like Nevarra and Tevinter where these things were always seen a bit differently. It does remind me that Ferelden is, let’s face it, the depressed Bible Belt of Thedas.)

I’m gonna smooch the necromancer. IT WILL HAPPEN.

Banned a bunch of bot accounts. Hopefully just bot accounts. Added another layer of spam filtering. If I banned a real account, uh, my bad.

The household is fucking delighted. Thank you, @Snackness.

@Lemon-Fox I want that one blog that was doing MU interviews to interview Jill. JILL PLEASE. WE JUST HAVE QUESTIONS.

@Pavel oh my GOD my ENVY

The sound they make. The feel.
