Obviously, receipts are handy but they’re not a requirement. And I’d (speaking only for myself, though with a polite nod in the direction of that Admin tag) rather not make posting every shred of evidence possible the expectation here.

Client: Well, I’m gay.
Me: Mhm…
Client: And… that’s okay?
Me: slow swivel in chair to look at giant Progress Pride Flag on my wall
Me: slow swivel in chair to look back at client
Client: happy tears

Being a client’s safe space to come out is a gift that keeps on giving.

I love that. More gamerunning folk should feel… allowed, for lack of a better term, to do this sort of thing.

@Jumpscare said in Star Wars Age of Alliances: Hadrix and Cujo:

That means that since the birth of BMD, no other game has negatively affected MU* players as broadly or as painfully as Star Wars: Age of Alliances.

A board of women, queers, and allies reacting strongly against sexual misconduct and anti-reporting prejudice… Isn’t that how we started in the first place?

For posterity, I present thus:

Tracy is a man and he is a very hansome and manly man.He likes women a lot and women like him too but men think he is compitishion.He has very long brown shiny hair everywhere and a little blue eyes that are mostly green but very hansome anywya.You can tell a lot of things from his eyes.He has a very big bulge in his jeans where the dick would be and it is not a sock because it makes all women almost orgasm with desire.Behind him is a very firm muscled ass that makes you want to slap it and play with it in lots of ways but only if your a women.If you are a man you will die if you touch it because Tracy is strong and very not Gay.If you are a women he winks and smiles at you and thinks you have a nice personality.If you are a man again he frowns at you and it makes you not hit on him or on any women when hes here.He likes lots of women very much and likes very few men but not as boyfriends.And he has a shitr which is nice and blue.I mean shirt sorry.

From what I’ve seen, you are a people with boundless empathy, but you choose who to direct that towards.

Not to really engage in the debate, here, but that’s literally the same as everyone else.

So obviously it’s a very dark time, horrid things incoming and so forth…

But did anyone actually have The Onion buying Infowars on their 2024 bingo cards?

Me. I’m a good thing about mushing.

And this isn’t a throw away joke, or an ego thing, or whatever. But I’ve finally been able to arrive at the conclusion that yes, my RP is good. My events are good. My being present on a game is good. And I’m finally free to feel that I am good enough.

So there. Me. I’m a good thing about mushing.

@Warma-Sheen said in Los Angeles 2043: A Blade Runner MUSH - Discussion:

Just because you can open a game on your own doesn’t mean you should.

You should. It might last, it might not, but at least stuff’s being made even for a moment.

@GF We’re for taco Tuesdays, no-pants Fridays, and the violent and utter overthrow of the capitalistic, white-supremacist patriarchy. And tea.

I need the restriction of a system, and even then I get paralysed by choice more often than I’d care to reflect on. If I can be anything, I end up being nothing.

Daveigh Chase dead: ‘The Ring,’ ‘Lilo & Stitch’ actress was 35

I feel, and this is just as much a vibe-based thing as the rest of our classification journey, that the MUD/MUSH/RPI division is more about the community in and around a game than the game itself. Each different category is more about how one approaches the art of playing a game than anything tangible in terms of code. A MUDder, an RPI afficionado, and a MUSH ruiner would see a game like Arx, for instance, and have three different approaches to playing it that likely all work to some extent while the game itself doesn’t change.

@Purplelamia said in What's up with the two Age of Heroes games?:

There was another one after that talked about it closing, then about the headwiz saying he got a lot of feedback not to close

I wonder if this would be more the case of people not wanting to lose the option to play there again, particularly given it doesn’t cost them anything to maintain, but don’t have the time or actual interest to play there. Like a kind of “you can’t close my favourite bar that I haven’t been to in years, what if I want that gallon of ‘Wicked Jizz’ cocktail for five bucks like I had when I was 21?”

@Tez said in Hello, Survey, and Looking for Recs:

Now, questions for us:

The largest sentiment gap is by preferred game style – MUD fans average 3.53 while MUSH fans average 2.85 (49.2% vs 19.5% happy) (Table 10, Figure 10).

Why so unhappy, fam?

We have WoD. MUDders don’t. >_>
