@Cobalt I just keep apping in widowers so I can go directly to the grieving process.

I don’t post much, I’ll grant, although in this case, it’s about someone whom I admired much. Not a deep nor broad body of work, just a simple actor who was a great friend to the fans, played a lovable goofball in one of his major roles, and did not behave badly. One of my favorite go-to “comfort movies” is now a much less strong place for that loss. My heart grieves with his family and friends.

RIP, Flyboy - Dawn of the Dead, 1978

I’d love to see a log of all the times where he did all the other abusive, manipulative, and unethical shit and see the logs of her explaining over and over why she’s doing nothing at all

Oh, I have about… nineteen or so logged conversations which may have some value, then. Two of them spring to mind immediately, wherein Sundance did a small floor-show for my benefit, because I misread the clear, crisp wording of Polk after a line of inquiry was opened. Because, y’know, literacy am hard, apparently.

Silly ol’ me, just wholly misunderstanding my native language again.

A few other reasons why smoking is handy for stakeouts:

• Nicotine works as a stimulant that’s easier to maintain than coffee, with fewer trips to the bathroom needed
• It works to keep hunger pangs to a minimum, which means even fewer bathroom trips and support mechanics for long hours
• By covering the “cherry” you can cut the visual profile down to nearly nothing, although the smell is sometimes a problem
• Most smokers ignore other smokers unless they need a light
• You can use a cigarette balanced between two fingers lengthwise to keep yourself awake; the cigarette, upon burning down, scorches into the meat of the finger and jolts someone awake
• It’s an easy reason to hang out by loading docks, security doors, and major entryways, while spare-changing will draw unwanted attention

To name a few reasons of the many.

@somasatori Can’t wait to see The Reach and Fallcoast go at it. Miami being stuck in CG never finishing…

What are you doing, stepMU*?

@Meg It’s difficult to look suave in a monkey-shit fight.

@somasatori
Would you be referring to the ghost now known as “Ooootoo”?

While I had some stumbling blocks in chargen, that’s mostly on me; it’s a pretty sweet design, although I’m used to very different systems - not being tied intrinsically to the wiki, for example, which I think is pretty damned cool.

So far, after about a two hour, thirty-minute process, I came up with a good concept and was able to touch base with a responsive, friendly, and approachable Staffer (hi, Crow!) and a fellow player whom I am very happy to see again, which is some positive buzz, by my own metrics.

8/10, am considering an alt already.

How long until “to Polk” becomes a new descriptive term?

Asking for an online community.

@Cobalt The show’s writer, Mike Flanagan, currently owns the film television rights to “The Dark Tower”, and had the strongest-possible blessing from King himself on his work for “Gerald’s Game” as a movie.

So, y’know, in case you’re curious about cause for excitement in the future.

Edited to reflect reality

Yeah, I can handle this.

The game is great - Sundance, very much a welcome presence. Polkadolt? A lot less of a welcome presence. I’ve seen better behavior at a gorilla orgy.

It says that the game is D20-based. Is there a link to where I can buy a copy of the relevant book?

@Cobalt 10/10. Loved the series, contained many references to Poe works, did enjoy greatly. Cat-based trauma scene notwithstanding, good times to be had.

@Meg Reading the logs of the goings-on for the Public channel alone, I kept thinking: “this is surely all a sign of a stable genius” and getting more and more amused/afraid/concerned.

@ThisGuy Yeah, I’m in the same boat, so far. Finding that specific book is also an issue, as there’s some revised stuff already ahead of it. The book(s) to be used definitely need a link via their wiki or a help file.

@Testament I used to think that the frost flavor was the worst one. Nope, not anymore.

@somasatori That’s a compelling visual.

Polk, with a quivering lip. Yikes.

@SpaceKhomeini Their wiki was not designed by someone who liked them much.
