This is so tiny and insignificant and textbook first world but I have no one else who would understand to share it with.

I can’t watch House of the Dragon because I can’t stand seeing dragons get hurt.

I can actually understand that. Mythical critters shouldn’t be treated cruelly any more than actual critters, There needs to be more ‘shoo’ options in video games for that kind of thing.

Hot showers in cold winter mornings. When you have the hot water running but your hands are so cold it feels scolding, but getting in the water feels cold everywhere else.

Out of curiosity I’m wondering if folk have ever had the opposite reaction of ‘ah him that motherfucker what a tool’, like maybe ‘ah him i love his themes/style/atmosphere i will check it out’.

Everything Darwin and @Wuff. They’re the two that immediately jump to mind, but there’s probably others.

I’m pretty certain I’ve elicited both reactions.

@RightMeow Would starting your own game be the equivalent of having a baby to save the toxic relationship?

Because I’ve considered it rather seriously for more than a few moments of late.

More like trying to take the kids (players) in the messy divorce.

There is a panel from X-Terminators(2022) I am reminded of.

Rogue with bondage powers

I think you keep confusing what people mean by this. Everyone agrees skin-to-skin contact with Rogue will drain powers. Its just the solution is always ‘put Rogue in a full body bondage-esque catsuit so there’s never skin to be touched’.

Few ever thinks to just put a restraining collar on her during day to day slice of life scenes. Like someone couldn’t make one aesthetically pleasing, or waterproof. People remembering that not only is she able to control her powers, but she isn’t even getting her flying brick power set from Carol Danvers any more either. Going with that is a breath of fresh air.

That’s all well and good if you’re a normal, heathy, functional adult, but what about the rest of us

Anything that requires a massive scene attendance but no one but a couple people have anything to actual do. This is absolutely something that can be done on their own and then have the log posted to a wiki and the +bb system.

This could have been an email. In Scene form.

I don’t know why but I feel it’s worth mentioning that while it’s a new(ish) thing in MU-space it’s not new new. It’s a big component of F-List, and it’s before my time but I know there were people doing play-by-post on forums and even over email and fucking Usenet in the 90s.

I still remember when continuing a scene meant someone had to manually save a log to a txt file, then post the last couple poses on the continue so people remembered where they at.

And ‘Timestops’. Nope, no more RP for that character till the scene was done. Whenever RL let everyone get free to finish.

Asynch: It’s like you and a friend swapping poses over @mail because their dick game is completely and totally insane

No one - and I mean no one’s - dick game is good enough to suffer through async.

Async is better than no sync sometimes. Some people are worth the effort and the patience.

One of my student’s parents called me racist multiple times last night in the conference.

It wasn’t even one of the crazy parents. It was a perfectly nice one. So it came out of left field.

We’re meeting tomorrow with the principal as interpreter, not a district one, or worse with apps because the translator didn’t show up, and I’m hoping we can figure things out, but I also just have this pit of dread in my stomach.

Hopefully it’s put down as a learning moment for you as a teacher. Finding out you’ve been messing up something after the fact can be stressful as all hell. But if others knew and didn’t help correct mistakes, They’re the assholes.

Having to pay out of pocket for laser cataract surgery. I clear my credit card debt to cover it. But the specialist wants payment via direct debit. Which my credit account does not do.

He was great in the Amazon “The Man in the High Castle” series

Good villain actors can make movies so memorable.

When you make a bigger payment on a credit card debt, but it doesn’t count as making the monthly payment because it cleared an hour before the system ticked over. And you have to make the real payment still as a result.
