Sometimes I think we don’t deserve the little critters that let us love them and care for them. We need them more than we’ll ever understand.

@Testament Your friends are good people and are entirely right in suggesting you go be a player for a while. Also, a vacation from writing and planning and game running and even playing is a completely beautiful thing to do. The muse will thank you for giving her time off.

Got to talk to Jill this week. Three times. Time to make chars with more masculine names.

@Pax And there’s been a shortage of spoons the past 3-4 years. Something something supply chain issues.

@helvetica I can relate to this. I’m 50. I started mushing at 20, when I was immortal, infertile and insomniac. Stay up til 3 am and still get to classes with bows on? Damn skippy!

Now? I can’t stay up that late and function at work. All of my friends, new and old, seem to be up at all hours, like the good old days… and stuff’s happening while I sleep. Hate that feeling of being left behind.

@Cobalt That’s horrible. Always with the bad apples spoiling it for the rest of us.

@Cobalt I have told some that it’s okay to go have a good cry. Get it all out. They’ll feel better. And if they aren’t feeling better afterwards, perhaps they should reconsider playing on that particular text-based game.

@Gasboy

@mietze You should be congratulated for raising proper adults, and this is the proof right here.

@catzilla If there’s one thing I think all coders have run into, it’s a missing/extra thing, and beating one’s head against the wall trying to figure out why the code isn’t working properly…

Then the hole you make in the wall after you find that damned thing… xD

@helvetica I initially read that as destroy the internet, and frankly it didn’t seem that bad.

@SockMonkey Welcome aboard! You’re the new, new mu*er.

@Cobalt Mr Rogers always said to look for the helpers. That lady’s a helper.

@Roz said in Macha Awareness (And Unappreciation) thread:

ETA: And the fact that she remembered this so specifically to bring it up ten years later.

To me, that would be rage-quit time. And a very not-nice goodbye to her.

I was a brand new player on Darkspires. My character approached the scene of… something going on, to find bits and pieces of some creature that had been splattered.

Branwen (RIP Usekh), having noticed my character’s queasiness, flew down in crow form (Darkspires was a game taking place in the Dresden Files universe), picked up a… ewh… testicle, and wiggled it at my character. “Is this yours?”

I hurt myself laughing… then the damned bird swallowed it. xD

@Cobalt For me, the only positive thing that came from it, is that I filled up a clothing donation bin. To the top. xD Old clothes, but stuffed animals and other similar things.

@Meg Oh, she wouldn’t even know, she doesn’t read here. xD

@junipersky I’d have used Zootopia sloths.

"Mmmmeeeeeeessssssss…

…ssaaaagggeee foooor youuuuu."

@Tez

Yes. They’re adorable.

Omagerd, she is adorable.

But Chuatury “Chuchu” Panlunch (aka Punchy McPuncherson) is awesome. That right hook!

@Adora I had not, but now I am cleaning coffee off my monitor. Thanks!

… a lot! xD
