At the risk of ignoring philosophical arguments, game theory, and various hypotheticals…

Until you no longer enjoy playing it. Only thing that matters.

4 years today.

If he were still around, he’d be posting here so I wanted to give him a presence on this board as well.

I’m just bemused at a self identified kind, compassionate queer community member tossing around ‘retard’ as an insult. Man, I hope she was lying. It’s embarrassing to be in the same community as someone like that.

You know, I had no problem at all with Derp being an admin when Gany first made him one.

Never let is be said that I can’t admit when I’m wrong but Derp has proven to me that I was oh so very, very wrong. I was so very wrong it’s used up all my potential wrongness for the rest of the decade so at least I’m guaranteed to be right for the next 7.5 years.

I’d like to ask all new posters start their posts with ‘I am not Macha’ just so we can keep track.

Sable showed up at the door one day and said she wanted a home. She was too thin, infested with bugs, and injured. She was also extremely affectionate. She got food, water, a box to hide in, and petting. She was still there the next morning (which was a Monday) so she went to the vet.

She got defleaed. her injuries treated, and given a physical. She wasn’t microchipped. She came home that day. No shelter or animal society had any all black, lost cat notifications so she found her home.

She’s a very smart girl since 6 weeks or so later she gave birth to a single kitten, being too malnourished to carry more to term. Or even show that she was pregnant. The vet had no idea either. She knew she needed a home to give birth to her baby so now I have Sable and Shadow, her little boy who’s twice her size.

I broke my self-promise about staying away from MSB because it seemed wrong to me that Kestrel should have to try to face those losers alone, but now she’s banned, so I’m not sure what point is left. Is anyone else over there in need of backup?

I’m good. And honestly, the more they talk, the more I feel the urge to randomize my password.

Responsive staff, willing to acknowledge mistakes, and implement changes in response to feedback/complaints?

Just… damn.

@kalakh said in Bannings:

I mean, I get it, irrefutable evidence is a big claim, and this is the guy who argued you can’t hear things over the internet, but this is where he went first, in the middle of a dozen people who actually played on Arx remarking about the dude setting off creep meters. Other folks expressed interest in the details, because that’s natural, but derp’s the only one who immediately went to ‘but what if it’s fake’ about a banning on a game he doesn’t play and a situation he knew nothing about.

When all t his started with Gany, my initial reaction was ‘lawyers should never be staff’. I’ve since expanded that to judges, politicians, and maybe cops.

Just some random points.

People rarely complain to the person they have a problem with.
People don’t even complain to staff most of the time.
There’s a reason hearsay is not allowed to be used in court.
Macha was involved. Remember MSB.
There is no fifth point.

@Solstice said in RL Peeves:

I feel like I followed all the rules, did everything I could to be fiscally responsible, and… meh.

The playbook was written by a previous generation for a previous generation. The “rules” no longer apply to this century.

As many as possible. That way, there’s bound to be a few people I like to play with and can ignore the idiots.

@icanbeyourmuse Your choice, of course. I know some people have an issue with that. But you might want to think of it as medicine that you don’t need to like so long as it helps you. Having been through pain I rate an 11 on a scale of 1-10 (literally falling to the ground unable to breathe), I know the relief of having it go away. Good luck.

@icanbeyourmuse Have you tried massage? Many years ago, my back went into spasm and I could barely move for over a year and a half. Tried massage, doctors, physical therapy, nothing worked. During one bad episode, I searched again for another massage therapist. She asked me a bunch of questions and an hour later, I walked out standing straight. Saw her 2x week for a while then once a month for years.

I recommend massage constantly. But, as with everything, not all therapists are created equal. Find one with 10+ years of experience and licensed. I found that one by calling sports clubs and asked if they had a massage therapist who worked there, figuring they’d be more experienced in treating muscle spasms and strains.

Since you say the pain is in your side, it could be the lat or the intercostals (muscles between the ribs). But there’s also a phenomenon called referred pain which means where it hurts is not necessarily where the problem is. Give it some thought.

I rather like the suicide quickhack. That and cyberpsychosis are my two favorites.

Also, River’s job concerning his nephew is legitimately disturbing. Which is awesome.

Just saw this on my BF feed and it’s so amazingly fantastic, I have to share it with everyone. Elphabas doing what they do best.

I just keep respeccing my main cause I have fun with X class with a 1 level dip into Y but then want to see what Z + Y is like. or X + Z. Or just W.

But, oh well, at least Astarion still loves me.

The little bitch threatened to leave me for another group of adventurers. I guess I’m not evil and selfish enough for him despite the blood I’ve been giving him. Well, he can sit in camp reading all day now. I replaced him with Gale.

And how the hell did I end up in a relationship with Wyll? I’ve only just talked to him and been properly sympathetic and supportive. Then all of a sudden we’re dancing and boyfriends and Gale was all, ‘sigh, well you made your choice’ and I’m all ‘When did I do that?’
