@NotSanni Hi there! Yeah, it’s been a bit, but I had a pretty good time there. Just wish it had had more staying power. 🦠 was a good experience in so many ways, from the escalating pranks to playing someone who my god I hated so much about.

Updated. Will likely be scarce from the hobby for a while.

oh this is why i got a sense of mild dread when i saw the notification!

No wait that’s the anxiety.

HI @Clarion

@bear_necessities The Augbert episode was the best game of “Yes, and,” chicken I have ever seen and I was dying to talk about it with people.

A Dropout subscription is about the best per-dollar value I have ever spent. I’ve had one for about a year and a half and they just keep getting wildly better.

@ham I’M FROM THE WOODS.

real ones will know.

@Sage The existence of multigenerational households in a huge number of cultures in the world, as well as the fact that they really dwindled in the United States during the rise of suburbia, strongly implies that this is a cultural trend and not an evolutionary one. Be very, very careful of assuming that what you see as the norm around you exists that way for purely biological reasons, the implications aren’t great.

also, i’m not going to greet everyone, because i don’t like some people and it’s as simple as that.

I submitted my first short story to Amazon. It’s cheesy erotica, but… I already have my second ready to edit, I have my community pages built out, and the hard work of just doing the first one is done.

I’m really fucking excited for this.

Did… did it collapse into the volcano or is part of it overlooking that as a new, potential shardhaven because honestly that would be sick?

@kalakh wait is my pretty house on avarion’s peak okay

Bliss had four secrets, but they were built around two things that were incredibly public knowledge by the end:

1. Her duel with Everard Telmar, the fact that she won the Telmar House Sword from him, and the fact that it was stolen from her by him dishonorably after, leaving her shoulder maimed.

2. Her fame with the Nox’alfar after finishing a folly.

Those were definitely enough fuel to drive a character forward, and while I was actively playing the game, I did a lot of scheming, putting together a quiet alliance of nobles to pressure and press on Telmar, working with the Nox now and then, and just doing fun things. There was more I could have done, ways I should have been less averse, but playing a character who on the one hand was ready to burn it all down for the drama who on the other hand took Whisper House and made some major moves that set the scene for future Radiants is enough for me. She had her moment in the spotlight, and then when real life flared up, I got out of it and did my best to let others shine.

Alan Wake 2 is a solid 10/10. My god.

@helvetica this is the most evil thing I’ve read in some time

this just in: games within the same genre share similarities.

as a project manager, lol, lmao, this is absolutely not a universally defined term and there are dozens of ways to structure how you get things done

@Roz james somerton plays MU’s now?

World of Warcraft ramble time.

Between Dragonflight being a really solid expansion and just a great group of people, my raid group hit 25 raiders tonight. Those were the numbers we were seeing at the start of the expansion – over halfway through, that’s crazy. We have a bunch of people who jump in regularly cross-server, and we have our solid core.

Meanwhile, legitimately everyone is getting better. We don’t raid at the top level and I made it explicit we never will, but instead I try my hardest to make sure that everyone who wants to raid, who puts in the effort and has a good attitude about it, has a place with us. And I’m seeing drastic improvement and a fire lighting in people to do better just because they want to help the group. It’s awesome! And new people are coming in and seem hype to be with us.

I’m just really proud of these nerds and what we’ve made here.

@Buttercup said in IC Consequences and OOC Acceptance:

I don’t necessarily agree with character driven consequences.

Character-driven consequences are probably the most common form of consequence when your actions impact other characters. Like, what does this mean? You only accept staff rulings? If anyone else pushes back, that doesn’t count?
