@Wizz Look at that pretty kitty facey whisker facey face. ❤ 😻

@Pavel

I’ll always remember a confrontation here years back where this one poster was just absolutely ripping a headstaffer a new b-hole, some of hands down the most contemptuous vitriol I had seen…because the guy refused to hand over the reins to an 80’s cartoon-based Transformers game instead of closing it. just wildly out of proportion and cruel stuff because they wanted to keep pretending to be a motorcycle that turns into a break-dancing robot, it was kind of amazing.

@Pavel said in pvp vs pvp:

It definitely feels like Faraday’s the actual MU historian and my brain is wandering through ruins of memories like Philomena Cunk.

Lol, I think we just played on a different cross-section of games. My early experiences were at both extremes, between SW games (better have your +blaster +equipped in case you get ambushed in the town square) and historical ones like Maddock (barely an admin or GM in sight). I didn’t start out anti-PVP, I became so through experience.

@sao No, they won’t be final. 😕 But the general rule of thumb is that VISITS stop as soon as termination goes through, even with appeals to come. (The bio-mom rants on FB about appealing constantly). The pause will give the girls time in therapy and stable homes to keep processing their trauma and building skills. If appeals restart visits then they will just be that much stronger to face them.

I’m really proud of oldest sister. Shit went down again Monday with mom. She had decided to come back to the visits upon deciding that staying mad at mom for not believing her about her assault wasn’t helping her heal. Mom decided to be a prat and badger her and kiddo about why they hadn’t done calls with grandmother the previous night. When the girls both told bio-mom they didn’t walk to talk about it she got sarcastic-angry. Sister walked out of visit, had some hysterics, then told the supervisor and her foster mom what upset her. Mom got told to knock it off or visit would end, then sister went back in and finished the visit. She STOOD UP for herself.

@Cygnus it’s not weird to dislike em, I’m just rolling my eyes at how you went into it. I’ll leave it there cause it’s off topic for this thread and you’ve made your opinion clear elsewhere that you can’t imagine having fun in a non pvp game and you can continue arguing it as much as you like there.

@catzilla I misunderstood, I thought this was your played-by list. I also played with Isrieal, iirc that changeling was originally a vampire on a game before the concept was reworked.

@Cygnus I understand. And I get it. I’ve actually been there myself, probably more times than I can remember. It just kind of sucks at the state of things.

@Faraday said in Star Trek Games:

The default Trek would play like a FC-driven game, with the department heads as coveted positions and everyone else feeling like second fiddle. That was also how the old-school Trek games I tried felt, and why I believe they were never as popular as some of the other genres.

I feel compelled to point out that while this is a problem in many games, I can only imagine that on a Star Trek game this would only be amplified considering the series has a very popular similarly themed meme about being a red-shirt.

So even if your character was not actually wearing a red shirt, it would feel like you were much faster, given the setting.

@MisterBoring I actually use LanguageTool now but I imagine it’s much the same. 😞

Speaking of litigation, who do I speak to about suing for the whiplash I got as those goalposts fuckin’ rocketed past?

I just want you to ask ChatGPT and all the other LLMs this exact question, with this exact wording.

@tsar I just want you to know how serious I am about catching these 🐌s and returning them home.

@Testament But is the D&D related to the setting of Seven Nations?!

@RightMeow You’re the cat’s meow, the bee’s knees, you are Doctor Who’s shoes. Congrats!

@Superbia Just be aware that FS3 is not very “crunchy” and so does not have a lot of the kinds of systems you’d typically find in a TTRPG. Like for Mechs in Battletech - there’s no concept of heat, ammo, range, critical hits, etc.

For a light-touch story driven thing, FS3 vehicles would surely do fine. It’s just not going to resemble any of the “mech wargame” systems.

@Prototart said in What happened, man?:

i don’t believe you

Do it for her

@Tez Yeah, I feel like we should be crotchety and stuck in our ways (in our rocking chairs on the front porch) about “pb/played by” versus “faceclaim.” >.>

I really enjoyed Deltarune Chapter 4. An unexpected amount of character depth and some great music. More fool me for thinking there were only 4 chapters, though. Guess I’ll be waiting for the 5th chapter in 2026! (And… for 6… and… 7…)
