I have had a full fantastic day of solid RP, like just wall to wall super enjoyable character development and relationship building and it’s not even over yet.
I honestly thought that kind of gaming experience was gone for me and I’m so glad it’s not.
Hello friends.
My mom is in the final stages of dementia, which means she spent the last week and a half in the hospital with a respiratory infection and I spent a lot of time with her because she can’t be left alone, along with working full time and being a mom and feeling like I’m failing everyone across the board. She has recovered enough to come home today but it’s very very likely it’ll happen again soon (it’s already happened once before this).
On top of this I am still trying to shake getting COVID last month. On top on TOP of this, I haven’t been able to get my antidepressants refilled until Wednesday. I really loathe saying I’m not okay but I’m not okay right now. I have a very strong support system, but the bench is shallow and only a little less worn out than I am.
I think I can keep from going apeshit on anyone for the next 48 hours but just in case the brain weasels win, go easy on me, ‘k?
In case you’re sick of those warm cuddly pets, here’s Nemo
I think this is after I told him he wasn’t allowed to eat the cat.
When a game I want to love just makes me feel tired and empty inside.
When you’re not at all sure that something you worked really hard on is going to land well…and it lands really fucking well.
I think it’s hilarious that EVERYONE THERE IS NOW IN A CLIQUE and no one has noticed.
From our sister site MSB (
), specifically Runescryer:
Oh, look. It’s this jerk again…
No, not me; I’m an entirely different jerk. But I digress…
Looks like everyone’s favorite creeper might be back among us after a nice absence. No character names, since receipts are still being collected, and not naming the game while they do their own ongoing investigation.
Just a heads up that several people reviewing logs are having deja vu all over again and noticing behaviors and patterns matching DWOPP’s MO.
Love bombing and constant spending of “fake IC money” to be the most perfect dream come true guy ever. Paying for cars, clothing, college tuition
Super protective of his target females around other males. Willing to fight or create dissent to push other males away
Gaslights female players who dislike his IC advances as problematic IC and OOC
Again, not sharing character names yet and giving the game staff a chance to work things out internally. Think of this as the smoke detector going off; time to be aware and see if there is a fire.
So, a general heads up to the community and to Staffers to be aware on their own games of a possible DWOPP return.
[Snackness here…I would add ‘weird obsession with impregnating your character’ as another warning sign.]
Mod Edit by @Pavel, changing title from DWOPP-spotting.
@mietze Luckily just cough, fever and mild wobbles.
@mietze I am slowly succumbing to a virus that took down half my family over Thanksgiving. COVID took down the other half. Blergh.
@junipersky Verdict:
Metroid Dread and Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
“God of War and God of War Ragnarok are great for ppl who like the Batman/Spiderman fighting style”
“And ofc Spiderman 2 for PS5 if he hasn’t already bought it”
“But all those seem super obvious so if he already has everything there I can get into some deeper cuts”
@junipersky I will consult my husband (not that one, the other one)
In case you’re sick of those warm cuddly pets, here’s Nemo
I seem to swing between periods of little to no RP which make me deeply unhappy and periods where I just wall-to-wall RP myself right into 3 days of migraines and it’d be great if I could just…even that out somehow.
@Testament Around here we like to call them “skin cats”
I probably should have said something, but for me he was just a low-level eye-roll-inducing avoidable presence.
