When people don’t understand basic thematic elements, can’t handle any kind of pushback, and spend all their time bitching about a person putting up so much as a shred of ‘no, thanks’.

RE: MU Peeves Thread
I left my job of many years for a much better job but holy shit am I tired all of the time now. I just want to not be tired. I want to feel like I’m not scraping the bottom of the barrel for my creativity. I want to feel like I’m not falling into the FOMO pit.
I know it’s temporary and that by September I’ll probably be in a good groove and things won’t be as draining, but GD. I have so few hobbies and this is one of them, lol.

RE: Bannings
All I could do was laugh at seeing that my ban was permenant. I’ve never been banned anywhere in 20 years of MUing. I never even had a “serious” conversation about my behavior. No warnings. I’m as interesting or scandalous as toasted white bread with nothing on it.
But I’m banned for asking why Gany didn’t just lock some threads or step away. Makes sense.

RE: MU Peeves Thread
Now and again just slammed full force with how deeply you just can’t and it’s not anything specific. Just. A. Big. Mental. Nope.

RE: MU Peeves Thread
@Gashlycrumb said in MU Peeves Thread:
ie, having a life.
not just specific to this but lol can we stop using this as something to bludgeon one another with
everyone has a life
unless you are not alive
even then you have an afterlife!!

People Doing Things
Shoutouts to:
@Tat For being consistently impressive with worldbuilding. I watch the way you put pieces together and then tear them out and then put them back in and it’s something that I wish I could do with anything nearing your quality level. Being able to work with, alongside, partial adjacent to you has really helped fuel a lot of my own growth, especially when it comes to constructively receiving feedback.
@Herja For being a terrific GM that comes up with excellent plot hooks and twists. For being a person constantly on the look out for new ways to catherd RPers and forward direction. For being a person willing to say “the line is here” which is frighteningly hard to do.
@Apos Someday we will let you out of the char gen mines.
But seriously thank you for all the jumping into the deep end on code you’re doing. It sounds terrifying.
@KarmaBum and also @bear_necessities For creating a series of fun games and being plain and straight forward about the type of weirdness they won’t tolerate on them (but for some reason continuing to let me in the door despite endless threats to RP watching Lord of the Rings ICly btw is that available to stream on Glitch asking for a friend).

RE: Is friendship bad?
I’m a working person with a full time job that just took on a side gig so I can get ahead, a parent, a spouse. Idk who has time to worry about other people’s friendships.
My internet friends are my friends. If I stopped being friends with them, I’d have a whole hell of a lot less friends and that just seems silly when you’re an adult and making friends is hard as hell???

RE: Good things in Mushing
When you are exhausted from major life changes and just winging everything but it seems to turn out at least okay.

RE: Bannings
I find it disappointing that my long tenure on that board was brought to an end because I objected over @Snackness and @KarmaBum being banned for utter frivolity when locking the thread and taking a step would have been a sounder choice, in my opinion.
But they’re right in a sense, I knew that I was going to be banned when I hit enter on my post. I would do it again knowing what the results would be. So it’s better if they keep me off of their board and out of their hair.
With that said, I don’t need anyone to be angry on my behalf or further argue with them. The people that remain as active posters on MSB are ones that have a long standing history of manipulative and abusive behavior. In the case of one of the re-emerging personalities, someone that was banned from Arx recently for violating no-contact orders and pretending to not be her.
Those aren’t people I want to be around. I’m content to let it die now.

RE: Episodic Games & 'Down Time'
@bear_necessities man. I LOVED that apartment building setting. Loved it.
I think one of the biggest issues was how long the downtime was. It felt… long.
Also we played LOTR.

RE: MU Peeves Thread
I used to be a real die hard live scene RPer. I didn’t enjoy async, I didn’t want to see async, I didn’t want to LOOK IN ITS EYES.
Then I got a job where I’m up super early and even on the nights where I could stay up late, I’m spending that time with my family because I see less of them during the week. I have time, but the time is weird and not often all in one place except on my days off. And not everyone is available to play at 10:30 AM EST lol.
So, now I’ve been doing a lot of async and it’s not bad. It sure as hell beats having to leave the hobby entirely while my life is this way.

RE: MU Peeves Thread
I totally saw this happen on a Pern game once in a room that I had +watch on. I think they were trying to hide it? But most people had figured out they were the same person. So it was harmless but generally kind of odd.

RE: Real Life Struggles/Support/Vent
Since December:
My MIL had to have surgery to remove a mass in her lungs. The surgery went well and she’s recovering.
My mom was admitted with pneumonia where I found out she has COPD, asthma, and possibly diabetes. She’s home and recovering and planning on quitting smoke.
Two of my husband’s uncles (brothers) have died, one of them just two days ago.
And we’re coping as best as we all can. This is just life stuff, it hits everyone. But man, I’m just walking in this sudden understanding that my parent’s generation is really starting to decline. I’m witnessing it happening in a very real and clear way that I guess I never actually saw before.

Pose Sizes
lol lets put our thoughts here instead of littering Song of Avaria’s thread
I have no real concern about pose length. Give me long or short or 7 different convos at once as long as it’s fun.

RE: The Arx Secrets Thread
@CUmush Hi! I played Cristoph, me and Mabelle’s player were just talking about how great you were.
Naka WAS a delight.
