for more fun check out the wonders of Radithor, WSJ once did an article on it titled, “The Radium Water Worked Fine Until His Jaw Came Off”

The ads write themselves.

we are so smart and the nuclear regulatory commission is so, so stupid

anyway this is now a beauty thread and Erin Parsons found radium lipstick and i am making it everybody’s problem

THO-RADIA

Saw this while shopping for replacement stuff because my curette of choice broke.

My initial reaction: “lol what type of experience is that supposed to be?”

those spoons are for stirring up 70-year-old nail polish and also maybe sometimes cocaine but they are not for putting in your ears

@Prototart what ever happened to bribing players with XP for desc work?!?

i could’ve been bribed for it and never even asked???

@Pavel said in MU Peeves Thread:

@Ominous Some games are apparently using it to write theme, some people are apparently using it to ‘help’ write poses. If things keep going that route, soon enough it’ll just be LLMs ‘talking’ to each other in the dark.

A ton of places seem to be using it to do grid descs

@Jynxbox said in Re: Dies Irae:

But there’s a sharp, steep drop off from interacting with Marid to dealing with some other staffers.

It feels like they kinda just forgot what fun was about. It seems like they built this place and then certain staffers never wanted to give up control. You app a PC and immediately they go about trying to turn your PC into their NPC,

I got, legit, no hyperbole, seven different people to make chars. I think one is still technically there and one only left after their second attempt at a char when vampire closed, but nobody actually lasted long enough to be on the grid.

@Pavel said in Re: Dies Irae:

@labsunlimited Indeed, though my inference was that this “one time account” poster may well be Polk in disguise.

literally my only interaction with him ever was him as Alejandro, it’s the second or third WoD game I’ve been on since I was a teenager, but uh idk how to put this politely but he didn’t come off as someone who knew English as a second or third language the way that does

i have frustrations but most of them that aren’t philosophical seem consequences of getting approved too early and stuff being changed since

the accepted wisdom used to be that you had to have a decent population of the nightclub people to attract the Serious Stuff people but there are like 10 MUers left so idk if that still holds true

all super-goths, all the time

With the occasional trenchcoat-wearing, samurai-sword-carrying genre-savvy wanker.

first off, they’re called street samurai, ok

all super-goths, all the time

@Prototart So in this Sailor Moon / oWoD crossover, did the Sailor Scouts turn into different WoD Splats? Was Sailor Moon able to use her transformation to become a Brujah?

So this was years ago, but from what I can remember we used WoD: Combat - I was staff in part because I was one of the only people who had that - and Freak Legion to make monsters, but I don’t remember if there was a lot of actual proper WoD stuff. There should’ve been, tho.

@Jennkryst said in Games we want, but will almost certainly never have:

This is easy. You don’t even need Princess: the Hopeful to do it. Mummy: the Curse 2e is where you have all your Immortal flavors of Mortal+… your Blood Bathers, your Imbued, your Reborn…

There was an actual oWoD/Sailor Moon game in the 90s that I briefly staffed on. And then got kicked off of for flipping out, hard, when they didn’t give me Sailor Mercury, prompting someone to actually ask how old I was (I was in the target audience for Sailor Moon)

@Jennkryst said in Games we want, but will almost certainly never have:

@Jumpscare I have, at one point, looked intensely at the Genesys code for Ares, and bought different non-Star Wars Genesys books, including the Android: Shadow of the Beanstalk setting book.

but consider: a Sailor Moon/Mummy crossover MU*

@Juniper said in MU Peeves Thread:

@Warma-Sheen I’m so sick of having to justify my stats. I shouldn’t have to write that my character was a career chef just to beg enough points to make toast. I’ve been told multiple times my character needs more experience for their build but I look at what I’m asking for and my character is in the range of “fucking useless”.

somebody on a WoD game once asked me to justify why my char had Dancing 4

It’s me, I want to play the forever-20-year-old, with a body that isn’t randomly falling apart from too much marching band.

jubilee can’t rollerblade anymore bc her knees are bad

@Juniper said in MU Peeves Thread:

@Pavel lmao. What the fuck kind of game was this.

tis but the poison seed from whence doth spring all ye lords & ladies games

@Pavel said in MU Peeves Thread:

If you go back ten or so years ago, there were definitely places wherein if they discovered you had posted on WORA (or wherever), they would flay you alive, tar you, feather you, fire you into the sea, and then ban you.

it isn’t that this changed it’s just that nobody ever comes to dump things anymore

everybody either silently deals with it until they can’t or just leaves bc they know exposing like even the absolute worst behaviors won’t accomplish anything and literally no one will care who didn’t already

@Jennkryst said in MU Peeves Thread:

Plz let me just submit a log of RP to demonstrate my skills as a writer. Or just assume I am awesome because people glance at applications and go ‘yeah I’m not reading all that, make it shorter’

i was like 8 when i started MUing and they trained me to write those gigantic like marvel handbook style apps and it’s like hardwired into my brain now

i like writing descs tho, it releases dopamine to the part of my brain that downloaded hundreds of Japanese computer paper dolls
