It was a MUSH I ran for myself.

I played Will, but I WANTED to play Rachel, but I kept turning my app down because it was very disturbing. Eventually I got very abusive and had to siteban myself.

I like it whenever I see someone unironically use 'SJW' as a pejorative because then I know I can safely ignore anything else they ever have to say and not really miss out on much.

@Roz said in Storytime! Embarrassment Edition:

So I was a junior in college. Dating a really sweet guy. He came with me to visit my parents at some point. The tough thing about bringing your SO home to visit your parents is, of course, how do you do the do. I was like 20 years old, I wasn't gonna NOT do the do.

Yeah.

Yeah, this can be an issue.

So I was visiting my parents for their 50th anniversary or something and I brought along my then girlfriend to meet everyone. They'd gone off to a big shrimp boil my sister was having in her front driveway because this was a classy central Kansas town, leaving me and said girlfriend at home to finish up some stuff we were cooking to contribute to the buffet. At one point we thought, hey, the bed in the guest bedroom is awful and when are we going to have this chance again. We pop on over to the couch and start having a Good Time, in a sort of sitting up position (which I wouldn't divulge if it were not important) when I look over and see that my father's dog had come up out of the basement and is staring at us.

I say, "Just ignore the dog" and she says "what dog?" and I say "just ignore him" because I'm talking to myself because the dog is freaking me out. But still, I've got STUFF! GOING! ON! so I try my best. But goddam that little highland terrier is just glaring. Finally I'm fully wigged out enough that I'm ready to call the whole thing off when I look over and he's gone.

Thank god!

Time to get busy living, or get bus-

That's when I felt the slobbery doggie tongue just go all over my balls.

I believe my quote was "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!! DOUGAL NO!!! FUCKING DOG IS EATING MY BALLS!!!"

At which point I threw her off of me and jumped up, tripped over the ball-frenzied dog and banged my head on their coffee table. My girlfriend somehow managed to twist her ankle when she fell. We both needed medical attention.

I don't remember what excuse we gave the doctors in the ER or my parents, but I do remember that not a single damn one of them believed it.

Never looked at that goddam dog the same way again.

Fuckin' ball hound.

One of my very first conversations with the guy:

@TheOnceler pages: Usually I keep my penis in my front pocket while at work,
but since I'm in the back I'm just wearing a sweatshirt and letting it
hang from my pull-ties. It's a broad-tip so it leaks ink all over the
place and everytime I reached for it I got a big mark on my hand.

@TheOnceler pages: PENS! PENS! PENS!

It still makes me cry laughing when I read it.

It's been like twelve years.

Let me be!

When you realize that a lot of other people have a peeve with someone with whom you have a peeve and that motivates you to just cut some ties you thought you'd be stuck with forever.

Sorry to anyone who is about to get caught in the splash zone of their unwillingness to accept it, tho.

I've watched Jurassic Park 8 1/2 times. It helps me get through when 2020 starts really doing it to me.

Hosting a funny, silly event which doesn't end up being that well attended, and seriously doesn't matter in the micro, much less grand, scheme of things, but where everyone who comes in clearly has a blast.

People should go see Knives Out. It's Rian Johnson finally recovering from the stumble of making a critically acclaimed billion dollar movie.

Tossing up an impromptu event, expecting four or five people to come and having nearly two dozen come out.

Also, getting to give @Narson a compliment that leaves him all

Actions results that suggest someone really gets your character, but also don't mind torturing them a little bit.

To get to this scene you will have already seen a snuff braindance, so I'm not sure what the point of this is.

Also any pretending that CDPR had the awareness to do some kind of wink wink nudge nudge Funny Games you're the real monster bullshit (which let's be clear, any movie maker who does this can eat a big fuckin pile of turds) is a bigger fantasy than The Witcher 1-3.

"I hate the dumb way Bostonians talk."
"So don't I!"

@Quinn said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

@TheOnceler Sounds like someone's about to take a header down the stairs.

Aw, go stick yer head in a chadabo.

Of all the dumb names Bostonians have for stuff nothing bugs me quite as much as calling ground beef 'hamburg'.

Like, I can get over frappe and honey dip and dungarees and getting all gay panicky when I call a plastic bag a 'sack' (true story), but I just can't get past hamburg. It's so dumb.

I'm right here. I haven't...

Oooh. Right. Nm.

Control on Switch? As a cloud game? Whaaaat?

There's a free demo (five minutes only, which is understandable since it's really just to see if your network can handle it) and damn if it isn't just beautiful and responsive. I've played games on a cartridge that had more input lag.

If this is a future for Nintendo I'm into it. Bring on Cyberpunk 2077 Cloud Edition.

I passed on The Boys for the first season because the comics were such a regrettable mess. One of those things that as an edgelord fifteen years ago I found funny but looking at now I'm just like eeeegh. But the TV show has changed a number of things and everything they changed has been for the better, from dropping sexual assault as a punchline (in the comics Black Noire sexually assaults Hughie, haha, isn't that funny?) to giving Kimiko a fucking name.

The best change, of course, is Frenchie, who is the best goddam character in the show.

Also, the kid who plays Hughie is Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan's son. Yikes.

Final Fantasy XVI announced for PS5.

Spider-Man: Miles Morales demo footage!

@bear_necessities said in General Video Game Thread:

The graphics don't look great but I will be cautiously optimistic. I was not a fan of the fighting system from FF: Dudes with Car, and it looks like they are using that again Hopefully you don't have to buy a shit ton of DLC for the entire story again..

Looks a bit like the FFVII remake.

Tomorrow's gonna suuuuuuUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuck.
