RE: MU Peeves Thread
@Alveraxus I’ve been seeing some videos on YouTube suggesting a new edition is coming out which will rewrite a lot of the lore to make it less yucky, but I can’t tell if this fabled new edition is actually coming out (I can’t find news about it) or if the video creator is presenting their own ideas as if it’s happening.

RE: MU Peeves Thread
My brain is doing the thing again.
If each fruit has a single seed, and two seeds are necessary to quicken a single pregnancy, then how many fuck-fruit plants (trees or vines or whatever the hell they are) must be planted to yield a harvest sufficient to renew both the human population and orchards/vineyards? What kind of investment of land and farmers/caretakers is necessary to support this infrastructure, not to mention the number of guards necessary to maintain hegemonic control over production and distribution? Is every seed guaranteed to blossom and/or result in pregnancy? If not, how does this uncertainty affect the previous numbers? What measures are in place to make sure no part of the supply chain is subject to corruption that would allow a fuck-fruit black market? What are the penalties for illicit impregnation? What kind of snake oil salesmen exist selling fake fuck-fruit to couples who have been denied official ones? What options exist for people who want to get pregnant but are allergic to fuck-fruit?

@Pacha The fruit has a single seed, which is the source of fertility, but both partners have to eat it? So they have to split the seed?

I can’t tell if I’m proud or ashamed of how effortlessly “fuck-fruit” has caught on.

@renaveleigh said in Comic Games Are Still Fun!:
his love of treating people who were interested in taking inspiration from comic books like idiots
I know this is the least important thing anyone could ever bring up, but, like, it still drops my jaw when I think about his reimagining of Caitlin Fairchild from a friendless computer nerd with a dumptruck’s worth of self-esteem issues into a genius who routinely invents bleeding edge robots and spends all day barbecuing.

RE: Comic Games Are Still Fun!
There is probably something profound or insightful to say about how HAM was formed because the staff of their previous game quit en masse after the head staffer started treating them as badly as he treated the peon players, only for the response game built from that exodus to seem to go exactly the same route.
But if there is, I’m too dispirited to go looking for it. The abusive staff who could only bother to take a moral stance against abuse once someone more powerful was abusing them went on to create a new, abusive game* where they took no moral stance against abuse until someone more powerful than them was abusing them. There may or may not now be a third generation of splinter games where the cycle will continue, all because of wanting power over dorks like me who think it would be neat to be a superhero and wear sexy spandex.
So, I dunno, pretend I posted that meme about leopards and faces.
*EDIT: I have no tea to spill here, just stories from friends whom I trust implicitly.

@STD You are really kind of making me want to play a manic pixie dream mama. But I suppose that’s really just Mary Poppins, isn’t it?

The Ortallus debacle brought back fewer bad memories than I expected, and does offer some joy in rediscovering all the epic, effortless dunks people got in.

RE: MU Peeves Thread
@Coin See, I don’t think I’m even digging! These are just the questions that occurred instantly to me! More have been popping into my head as time goes by, a lot of them feeling really icky, like “what happens when you feed a fuck-fruit to a child” that I really hope DON’T get answered.

RE: MU Peeves Thread
There are so many questions.
If everyone in the game world is infertile, then what other changes are there? Do people menstruate? How common is sex, and how common is sexual impotence? Do people in this world where only fruit can make babies have a biological urge to have sex? Does the fruit, in addition to making your eggs drop and your wigglies wiggle, act as an aphrodisiac? Are people even sexually dimorphic when not under the effects of the fuck-fruit?
What’s society like? What are the requirements to get a fuck-fruit? Are birth rates keeping up with rates of death? Is it a culture in which medicine has advanced to the point that you don’t need to have eight kids because the first seven are probably gonna die of strep throat?
I’m not even mad, just really wanting answers.

@Kestrel If the same end is accomplished without you having to get involved, then that’s probably the way to go. It spares you some unnecessary danger.

RE: Real life happy
@Val I know just how you feel. I spent the last several years with a mistaken diagnosis of a back injury: it was a hip injury. Now that I’m getting the correct therapies, my life is just–I can’t even. If someone reading this doesn’t know what it’s like to be in constant pain, and for that pain to go away, then I’m not even gonna try to explain it. I don’t want anyone to ever understand that.
Sorry, got sidetracked. Point is, I’m so happy your life is better.

RE: RL Peeves
People who treat the shoulder of the road like a right turn lane. You’re not getting out of anyone’s way! Your vehicle’s ass end still swings out into my lane when you make the turn because of how sharp you gotta cut the wheel on account of that NOT being a turn lane! Just–ugh, stop it!

Also, who are these presumptuous buttholes who think you owe them greetings? Is it your job? Are you an official greeter?

RE: How dangerous is VASpider?
@Kestrel said in How dangerous is VASpider?:
I feel the need to stress that what you describe here as “the bad old days” still goes on today, or that I’ve at least seen extensive, verifiable screenshots of it occurring as recently at least as 10 months ago. Not in the MUSH community, that I know of, but very much a thing on MUDs and especially RPIs.
Shortly before I realized this hobby mostly ain’t worth it, I was on a mostly dead game with a guy who was complaining at me about how the woke mob has ruined John Constantine by turning him bi, which of course they’d do because they’re all a bunch of perverts whose sick minds have to make everyone gay. John Constantine, for those of you who aren’t that flavor of nerd, is a sleazy con artist of a magician invented in the eighties and modeled after David Bowie, explicitly intended by word of God to have been bi from creation.
Another time in that same period, someone in a Discord server for a dying, mostly abandoned game started going off about how all gay people should die in fires for daring to suggest people like him shouldn’t say we should die in fires. The story is less interesting than the summary.
So yeah, they’re still out there. They’re just mostly hiding in deserted games, a fact I can confidently state based on my purely anecdotal experience of two instances.
