    the absolute worst thing you can be on a MU* is average height

    I… actually like to be within the realm of average height on MU*s (most of the time, not always). Then again, I’m also the guy who likes playing by-the-book pilots, Stormtroopers, and other characters who could be “generic” if not for how they’re played.

    you are taking the joke too seriously

    even got to play with Hex and company, and it was great.

    Aw, haha. I was a casualty of Cujo’s spree when all this went down (whole crew got banned), but if you had good experiences with us I’m very glad for that. The game is unfortunately not a good place to be, though.

    My work informed me today that they figured out how to deal with one of our major issues at work, and in doing so, are throwing work/life balance in the trash.

    I don’t know if this is from a generative “AI” or not (but some parts strongly suggest yes), but I had to get @tsar to see this as the resident expert on 🐌s.

    This is screen-snipped from one of my Discords, and even if it’s fake it made me lol/happy.

    I am apparently in Reviewer #2 brain these days whenever I look at any research work.

    I’m right there with you. I literally did a whole homeschool lesson with my kids on that whitepaper, showing how to think critically about the potential biases and how the company frames the results.

    Anyway, I didn’t dive too deep into the underlying studies themselves, focusing on the meta-analysis part. @Trashcan was right to point out that some of them were pretty dated.

    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.

    Yeah, I can’t say I was psyched ot see it was 5E but it’s not a deal breaker either. It’s weird because we live in a great time for IP-based RPGs(Transformers, GI Joe, Power Rangers, and now Thundercats), but I’m not a huge fan of any of the systems behind them. The exception being Star Trek. I do like the 2D20 system.

    Oh, it’s a troublesome character even if you remove the ableism.

    Deep in my little black heart I have this desire to app a comics game as the demon Baytor, a sort of tube with teeth that shouts “I AM BAYTOR!” a lot and does little else.

    Baytor yelling "I AM BAYTOR!!: in someone's face

    This is a bad, bad idea, obviously bad. It might be okay if I made sure Baytor could only be found where it’s found in the comics, working as a bartender at a certain pub, completely easy to avoid, and treated it as a sort of NPC I depict while playing a reasonbly PC-written-PC primarily.

    So she not only punished you for what your friend did, but she killed them, too? Kinda fucked up.

    While I’m sure there are some recent articles that touch on the darker side of MU*, I always look to this one (written by Julian Dibbell) outlining an atrocious event that happened on LambdaMOO:

    TW: sexual assault - http://www.juliandibbell.com/texts/bungle_vv.html

    I’m terrible at summarizing so I won’t really try, but it does a fine job of sharing a terrible event, how it affected people, and the changes that happened after. It also touches on what it means to make a society and shape a culture in this shared hobby; for as terrible as the event is, it’s also heartening to see how things can grow and change through player influence.

    Ashkuri’s doodles are awesome. Characters, postcards, random drawing from an offhand comment I made as a joke. Good stuff if you get a chance to take them up on it.

    @Gashlycrumb Also, chances are most of the people you (general not specific) have a problem with have a similar opinion of you so 1) Why would they care? 2) Why would they be surprised? People are allowed to avoid games because of Staff (whether your own issue or in support of someone else) so it seems hypocritical to not allow Staff the same option especially when they’re the one putting in the effort to run the game.
