      @Aria

      just don’t ambush her in a page with some ten year old reference

      <.<

      Give a bitch a break, will you?! I’m old and my mind is going, if there was ever any to begin with. 😛 ❤

      Seriously, I just didn’t remember your character name and thought you might’ve been one of my creepy stalkers. There’ve been a couple over the years and if they rear their heads…

            It’s a general sentiment. I just get annoyed by people who have to be performatively kind/nice.

              As a therapist in training (and current grief counsellor), I second this so goddamn firmly. It’s dangerous as hell.

                    please. i am begging people. when new to a game, take a week to get a sense of the culture and if it’s a good fit for you before you do shit that sucks up everyone’s attention and energy, and make sure you even understand the basics of how the game runs and why before you make a thousand suggestions about how to change it.

                      this type of personality is extra wild to me because it’s almost completely just about tone-deaf bragging. y’know, it’s actually more impressive to me when someone can easily navigate a system someone else has made, rather than listening to them improvise “improvements” that are likely more broken in the long run, or even just nakedly of benefit to the person suggesting them.

                        Today my MUSH peeve is that I just realized it’s silent hEaven and not haven.

                        But also I’m pretty sure I keep making that realization and forgetting and then finding myself surprised every time. Being old sucks.

                                  Baulders Gate and Genshin Impact are my peeves this month. Literally sucking all my attention from every single thing…

                                    Me. My peeve is me. My attention wanders and I leave folks waiting. Thankfully I mostly do async scenes, but I hate this part about myself.

                                      @Rinel ah yes, ADHD: the game. I know it of old.

                                      let it be a challenge to you

                                        this type of personality is extra wild to me because it’s almost completely just about tone-deaf bragging. y’know, it’s actually more impressive to me when someone can easily navigate a system someone else has made, rather than listening to them improvise “improvements” that are likely more broken in the long run, or even just nakedly of benefit to the person suggesting them.

                                        There’s a post on r/MUD right now about a game I really don’t like and haven’t played in a decade.

                                        Having actually played it though, the post is baffling to me because it’s an endless list of complaints about systems that are honestly very normal. Like characterising a game-wide PvP event as “everyone is bullying me”. No man, it’s a PvP event, some people are into it, that’s who it’s for.

                                        It would be like if I joined an AresMUSH for the first time and immediately proceeded to complain about how people spend 90% of their time online OOC. Wow, no one cares about RP here. My immersion.

                                        In any context/culture, the inability to adapt/assess always smacks of entitlement and small-headedness to me. How does one go through life like that? ‘No, no, this grocery store is all wrong! The sweets are supposed to be at the front, not at the back! I must speak to the manager about this.’
