@Gashlycrumb said in MU Peeves Thread:

The real contest was to try to write a desc that would scroll anyone’s screen, contained as many treasured cliches like ‘sparkling orbs gaze into your soul’ as you could pack in, yet did not tell the reader anything about what the character actually looks like.

Eyes: Sparkling, soulful and impid, but of undetermined colour. Hair: Luscious and cascading, but of no particular colour or length. Skin: Flawless. Height: Graceful. Shape: Exquisite and touchable. Age: Blooming.

This feels like the advanced version of me complaining about how much I hate writing descs: “I don’t know. S/he has a face and stuff. It’s probably fine.”

@Arkandel

i get unhappy when things are not about me???

@Ashkuri
There is no war in Ba Sing Se and there are no sex pests on AoA.
Any belief to the contrary is against the way of things.
Self-report, then self-deport.

I also start worrying if they got an accident or something or something else bad happened. This is because my anxiety likes to play worst case scenario with my brain. I can also get a bit upset because I have limited time as I tend to over schedule my life (I know that’s a me issue) and I never know what point to cut ties on the one I’m waiting on and move on or cancel the other and wait. Then I have guilt regardless when that all could be fixed with a quick “hey I’ll be there at X time”. Life happens, I think we all get it.

This ranks up there with the “We have to talk later” comment

@Arik No idea!

I got my only accusation of racism as a school counselor over schedule changes, and upon investigation, realized where it came from. I was denying schedule changes according to the written policy, but certain students (mostly wealthy and white) appealed over my head to a vice principal who made the schedule changes they requested, so it very much looked like some students were receiving favorable treatment (which they were, just not from me).

Unfortunately, there was no denying that the school and district had issues with systemic racism, which made it understandable that parents would become frustrated.

To be fair, Jenn, I feel like the act of asking about unplayable/disallowed character types is kind of your version of MUSHing.

In the Otaku-specific instance, at the time I entered chargen they were legal. There was some fuckery that occurred that I went over elsewhere and can go over again, sure why not. But later.

Edit: Nagah are very much the unplayable thing I ask about, because sexy sneks. Mummies are more a meme at this point.

@Wizz what a handsome

Nooooo

Just yesterday I said I was impressed that Liberation was going strong after its rough start.

The recent alarm seems like the general slowness that happens this time of year. To compare, I only ran about 3 events during the entire holiday season on Silent Heaven, when I usually do at least 2 per week. I suspect things will gradually pick up as the solstice grows further behind us.

@Rathenhope said in AI Megathread:

two potential clients (the biggest we’d have) both went “we consider any use of AI to be high risk and we don’t want client information anywhere near it”

Just casually send me the names of these clients so I can get our CEO to try and sell to them, I really want to see that metaphorical ice bucket tipped all over him when he hears that.

@Artemis There’s a group of us that’s adapting DnD rules into a post Second Reckoning campaign. One friend is doing a small module to apply to Arx and I’m creating a longer campiagn that’ll probably take place five years after putting Azazel back into his box.

Will it be the same? Nah.

Will it be fun? Probably.

I was holiday-ing, but it looks like the wonderful Terminus has replaced the stolen writing with a placeholder in my absence.

To confirm, this is an OC, and the character has yet to be submitted for approval or anything, but if this desc makes its way back, even with tweaks, the app will be declined with explanation.

If you’d like, @Roz, I can forward this player your rates for autographs 🙂

@moth pls be aware that matcha is delicious

@dvoraen said in General Video Game Thread:

Does anyone else increasingly feel like you have no time ever for recreation? Here’s an idea of my backlog, assuming I did full completions including postgame:

finish Octopath Traveler I - 20h? (Postgame quests and bosses) Octopath Traveler II - 120h? Dragon Quest I-III (HD-2D) - 200h? <- hard to judge; probably higher Dragon Quest VII Reimagined - 150h? <- estimate due to 200h on DQXI Horizon: Forbidden West - 70h? God of War: Ragnarok - 70h?

Now let’s add in stuff just released or soon to launch that will undoubtedly consume focus!

Windrose (EA launch) - > 50h easily I’m sure; depends on content. Soulmask (1.0) - > 100h if I commit to it

I’m doomed. 😭

Yes, I feel this way.

I beat DQ1-3 but I need to finish Octopath Zero and DQ7.

It also doesn’t help that I spend about 3-4 hours a day painting now lol.

I am but a week away from getting a computer capable of running baldur’s gate 3. Once I make sure the machine is actually going to work I’m going to buy it on steam. I cannot wait to play this game. I’m old and about to die so I’m going to spend the last few years of my life acting like I’m 14.

Pigeon Too Fat To Fly

There was nothing special or secret about the pigeon. This just reminded me of it.

Wait, you all read the books?
