      @Tez

      As I said earlier:
      @Jenn said in Ot The Real, Gorilla Nems Ban Thread:

      Shit like this why we have Wrath month with two brick handbags rather than state-sponsored Pride.

      He’s no one’s first rodeo, and we’ve got way more joy than hate can ever stop.

      Not to mention, plenty of soup. For our families. Once the bricks run out.

      Because honestly, Pride has always been a riot, and those of us on the left have mutual aid running way deeper than anyone else’s mouths. It’s sad some folks are still in their little hate bubbles. But the rest of us have learned how to work over/around/through them generations ago. 🌈

      @Gorilla-Nems

      Nothin’ screams hot and bothered like coming back for more, babes. It’s ok. We’ll keep fighting for your rights alongside our own anyway, like decent human beings do, regardless of the extra layers of disdain.

      Someday, you’ll realize it’s not the woke leftist leaving you alone and lonely, just your own lack of humanity and inability to recognize the myth of rugged individualism locking you into a hate-filled echo chamber.

      Good luck, my dude. That prison is way harder to break out of than the closet ever was.

      @Redbird I’ve missed you. ❤ I hope life has been kind. And if kindness is too high a hope, at least survivable.

      Did the radium girls and their glowing watch-face paint brushes teach us nothing?

      There was so much GOOD history. Why do we only keep repeating the inanity?

      I outlived my hospice diagnosis.

      Deals with very heavy physical health issues, please avoid is such topics are triggering for you.

      I’m on hospice. It’s excruciating and full of pain, terror, and stress. But those symptoms are very well managed by a team of medical professionals I deeply and truly trust. They all have my best interests at heart. It’s a horrible process, and I hate it with everything I have inside of me. But there are agencies and support systems doing their absolute best to provide all possible comfort and symptom control.

      I’m in a red state that has gone far redder as of this election, medicaid is openly on the chopping block during session one post-inauguration. Project 2025 has Medicare and Social Security on the chopping blocks. Currently, I’m lucky enough to be dying comfortably in my own home with all my comfort items, puts, and people. But if I lose my insurance and disability income? I’m looking at a very different end to my life some day, and that terrifies me to my core.

    • RE: why is nobody talking about Veilguard

      I’m not playing it, for a mix of reasons, but mostly because poor hand/eye coordination, pain, and focus/fatigue/energy issues.

      But it looks cool af, and I would LOVE to see others playing it. So. If any of y’all are game streamers who like folks asking silly questions about shit while you’re off adventuring, I’d be down to tag along from time to time!

      Take the discount. Enjoy the bagels. Life is short and precious, and if you get to pay a few less dimes for a few years extra? You’ve more than earned the discounts in other ways. Rock the white beard and pay no attention to the rest of it.

      I’ve never been so grateful for cosmic timing in my life. So glad my one night offline for like, a month now, came just in time to manage to miss that undesired blast from a long ago past.

      @L-B-Heuschkel
      For large asynch scenes, I’ve found really great luck with 6-8 people in them if it has a GM or ST involved. I use the layout of 1-2 GM poses per day, every 12 or 24 hours. In between each GM pose, every other player is allowed 1-2 poses in any order they want to do so in between. People know to check in either once or twice a day as pre-agreed and no one has to wait to post for ‘their turns’ and can do it at their own conveniences in between each story move forward via scene runner.

    • RE: MU Peeves Thread

      For me… I actually don’t care. I love a slow asynch with a pose every three days as people have time. I love a snappy live that kills a few hours and is fun and done. I think all kinds of scenes and styles have their benefits and their detriments, and I’m happy to collaborate into the styles that work best. My only peeve is when folks aren’t honest about what’s going on or why.

      Of course… There are also then the moments when it all goes off the rails and you spend 4 days with broken internet angry that it’s not your pose in like, twelve scenes and they’re typing at everyone under the sun EXCEPT YOU only to come to a month later to realize your internet was not functioning and it was your pose all along in each of them and you’ve been passive aggressive snarking your friends for a week with broken internet while they’re waiting on you to get your shit together… And after a month, you do, but forgot what was happening prior and oh, hell.

      It’s been a year, y’all. 2024 is holding 2012’s beer and I’m scared. If I owe you poses, poke me. If I’ve been a dumbass and owe you apologies, poke me. If we’re all just having a bad time and need hugs and support and understanding, poke me. ❤

    • RE: Royal Paynes

      @Roz The where, at least to me, is mostly irrelevevant. I’m not at all invested into where forum-wise the thread is moved. Staying in this particular forum and just forked to CoG - Mental Manipulation/OOC Behaviors, or something else along those lines would be totally cool by me. I’d just like to be able to know which headspace to be aware of and ready for prior to reading new additions if that’s something that would be ok. If it’s not ok, I’ll find other ways to manage the issues that are less impactful on the words and choices of others instead. ❤

      @Roz said in City of Glass - Discussion:

      Rough and Rowdy isn’t for sensitive topics, it’s for a rougher approach to topics.

      It is a sensitive topic. A change of venue isn’t because people are saying mean things. But some of us who have experienced these kinds of manipulations enough to have significant trauma that can be incredibly triggering when you don’t know if you’re about to read about gas-lighting as opposed to Demons/Changeling/CoD theme things is triggering af - at least to me.

      I’m finding myself having to weigh the risks of missing out about theme and lore info that as a new player to the setting is invaluable or instead risking PTSD reactions and trauma responses to something that is not at all CoG specific, even if this particular instance of it happened on this specific game.

      And I’m well aware that my trauma responses and emotional reactions are mine and mine alone to responsibly manage. I can turn off notifications to this thread and stop reading the parts both useful and the ones terrible if the community over-all disagrees with my opinions and think that the topic absolutely belongs in the discussion thread instead. I’m just saying…

      To me specifically, the subject matter absolutely makes both of these things being in the SAME threads inaccessible to continue reading through on a regular and unprepared basis. If that’s NOT an experience unique to me (and it may very well be unique to me) it just seemed to be at least worth mentioning/asking as a way to keep City of Glass discourse available for participation in ways that are not emotionally and mentally detrimental in what I’m assuming are not intended to be either.

      @Tez

      As someone with a bad habit for giving people a lot more trust and leeway than is safe due to a defaulting of trying to assume the best intentions in people even when internet people specifically have patterns of NOT having best intentions…

      How much labor and trouble would it be to move the topic of gaslighting, IC/OOC creeping from mind-reading/thought manipulation, etc to a rough and rowdy thread dedicated just to that?

      I feel like there is a lot of really important discourse and behavioral patterns to unpack here in regards to over-all MUSHing community safety, but dropping back into that topic regularly while thinking it’s going to be an overall review of CoG/CoD mechanics/setting/lore is starting to hit me from unexpected directions when it turns out to be posts instead about manipulative patterns of players unrelated to the actual game and its reviews. Would that be a fork that could be moved without too much trouble/work involved?
