@dvoraen omg i haven’t been on bmd in forever but i am glad you linked this. this looks so fun.
i’ll need to bully @Tez and other people into playing this.
And/or play REPO or PEAK.
For no backstabbing reasons whatsoever.
@Evilgrayson said in Missed Settings:
@MisterBoring Stargate was a fantastic setting for similar ideas. Lots of RP in the base, occasional scenes further afield, and missions to the planet of the week.
Stargate is practically an excuse for “theme park” RP of a sort, where you just say: “This world is like <theme>!” When I thought about it that way, I was like: “… Why haven’t I seen more Stargate games?”
@junipersky Just so I am clear, because my brain wants to be THAT WAY, today, it was in your favor? If so…
@somasatori said in Everworld of Darkness:
you had me at “alien gods”
Don’t we just call them eldritch horrors and assume tentacles?
My pillow fort involves a pillow and me being covered by a blanket with my head parked on said pillow. On a comfortable surface, ofc.
@KDraygo said in General Video Game Thread:
@dvoraen Is Among Us as fun to play as it is to watch people play?
Really depends on your lobby. I imagine I can dig up some of the clips from Arx folks’ shenanigans (after I get home) because there were some lolsy moments.
I think with people you know who won’t REEEEEE too much - I am kind of guilty of that but I tried not to show it - you can get some quality entertainment.
@bear_necessities Me toooo, for playing there.
It was not my first game, tho.
@Solstice said in Missed Settings:
I’ve spent the better part of the last year utterly gobbling up everything in Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere (Stormlight Archives, Mistborn, Warbreaker, etc.) catalog, and I am so freaking sad that there don’t seem to be any Cosmere-based games.
Having an already-established world with a well-thought-out magic system that you can do tons of interesting things with?
It would so be my jam, right about now.
I have more than once seriously considered trying to make a RosharMU*, no lie, but I get extreme imposter syndrome from it.
(Plus wtb all the deets on Voidbinding and the Unmade, pst.)
@Jumpscare The db and ndb attributes are AttributeHandler objects, to my recollection, and it’s my understanding that using db in particular will automatically handle the database-serialization and synchronization for you. Which is why I feel like I’m forgetting something if move_to() invocation is what fixed the DI problem in question.

@MisterBoring said in Character Death:
you’d want to go with the Game of Thrones approach to death
So a wedding AND a funeral!
The funeral IS the wedding. And vice-versa. (In GOT.)
@Jumpscare Welp, I had the wrong definition of serialization in my head on top of that! So that didn’t help anything.
However, isn’t Evennia’s memory model for ORM supposed to also handle updating the database when you use the attribute handler? I feel like I’m missing something as far as the “disconnect” in location is concerned. I haven’t touched Evennia stuff in a while, so likely I’m forgetting something too.
@sao said in Character Death:
I love rping eulogizing a dead character. Non-sarcastic. I got a lot of practice at this and discovered I really enjoy it. Real characters are best, I also did a spider funeral at one point but that was for specific IC reasons and I had fun with that too.
I want a eulogy from Aureth now.

@somasatori said in Re: Dies Irae:
multiple deserialized calls to update self.db.location
I run a horror game, and that line is scarier than anything I’ve ever written.
I kind of need an ELI5 because I think I understand the scream-emoji worthy part, but I am not sure if I completely understand the nuance. Either way, WHY DESERIALIZED? (The all caps part is me going 
)
This entire thread (about the programming bits) is making me want to make Evennia utility modules you can just plug in (e.g., basic dice rollers, generic scheduler stuff), but I’m so out of the loop on things now and I don’t have time in the day to do this. ;.;

@tsar I promise it wasn’t me.
lol you aren’t banned
It wasn’t me either. I’m too muppet flail mode and focused elsewhere to sneak anywhere. Even at 
speed.
(I just wanted an excuse to mention a .)
@somasatori I’m 50/50 on whether L&L is the Unseen Fifth
or the honorable mention.
I used this same GIF when someone mentioned it in Discord who has - as far as I know - no relation to MU*dom or this board at all. Caught me off guard.

@Pavel
I’m old! Gotta keep up with the kids lingo! In simplest terms, “You should play with me and not /them/ because I’m better at everything.”Also “I’m not like other girls.”
yeah it’s an intensely sexist meme lol. i’m gonna side-eye anyone using it sincerely
Don’t forget the favorite response when called out:
“But I’m also one, so it’s okay if I use it.”
@somasatori I’m guessing this is basically a lockstring variant you’re using for filtering out the accessibility of these hints/mysteries/clues?
