Tostino's Pizza Rolls (tm). I dunno why but when I am super down I will bake a few and just nibble at the outside of them while the lavafest inside of them burns my tongue and I forget what upset me in the first place.
But my mother tells me that's weird.
What does she know?
@bobotron Man, I love crunchy rabbit food. So I don't think it's weird. Carrots are my jam.
I have literally made a bowl of popcorn to eat while I read this thread and knit. Thank you all so much for the entertainment.
@auspice Never tried french fries for comfort. I should.
@icanbeyourmuse
CLOK isn't a shortform, that was the name of the game.
FO:ED is Fallout: El Dorado, don't go there.
RE:R is Resident Evil : Rebirth. See above.
STF is Stranger than Fiction
WNO is Where no one has gone before.
There you go!
@sincerely This.
So I might need to find you in character for some of dat...art..
@auspice Hahahahaha haha.. deep breath ahahahaha...
Leave it to Bad Dragon. Always on top of the trends.
I've driven across the country four times. It's really not fun to do in the winter, there is nothing like having the interstate shut down and you have to find lodgings out of the blue.
I am godmother to the most adorable baby ever. Well, that I know of at least. https://imgur.com/u3HFHzP
I've spent the last two days cooking, and will probably be making pies and cookies all the way up to Christmas Day. Precious few people in my family like to bake, and I make a lot of extra holiday cash by helping out.
When I was in fifth grade someone called my mother a snowblower, and it literally took until I was twenty three to figure out what that meant.
If I ever win the lottery, I'm moving to Snoqualmie Pass. The few times I've driven over that mountain were enchanting. There is always so much snow there.
I sometimes go through a book a day, and my Kindle Unlimited subscription is essential to me.
Apparently its run by some people who were involved in WNO before it closed. I believe that it's mostly comprised of the staff who were not happy with the direction that WNO took. I don't want to go hogpit here, but they seem like a good bunch.

--[Help canon]-----------------------------------------------[Phoenix Rising]--
What do we consider canon here at Phoenix Rising? Good question, and it has a
relatively simple answer.
All of the TV shows, with the exception of Star Trek: Discovery. We're on the
fence about the Mycelium Spore Drive, and some of the tech they've introduced
so far was introduced as new in some of the TV shows that came before it, yet
are after it in the timeline. That makes it a little hard to reconcile.
Also, the two J.J. Abrams Star Trek movies, and the third that followed, Star
Trek Beyond co-written by Doug Jung and Simon Pegg are not considered canon
here on Phoenix Rising. All good movies, but they are in an alternate
timeline from the movies and TV shows that came before them.
Primary sources for canon information that have been used in developing
Phoenix Rising are:
Memory Alpha (http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/)
Star Trek Star Charts - The Complete Atlas of Star Trek

Star Trek Deep Space Nine Technial Manual - Pocket Books

As for the system, not sure. Sorry.

I gave it a shot, but I really can't focus on more than one game at a time. It's not bad from what I've seen.
ETA : I haven't been around there for a month, so if they turned into shitbags? Sorry!
I do not want spotlight. I think I picked a good character for that in Arx. Most of what I do won't ever come to light, and that's the way I prefer it. Knowing that you're making a difference in the world, even if nobody else knows about it, is fun too. So I'm glad that I see some of that kind of thing available in this setting.
I don't think it's feasible. There are people like me who absolutely won't speak out or do something to call attention to themselves. Sometimes that gets its own kind of attention. In a game the size of Arx? People who can write and navigate the things that need to be done have a better chance, and that's just putting in the work.
I've seen this done with success and seen it done where it fucks things up. It really all depends on the GM's.
People want to know that they're recognized and noticed. I think. I've seen people do some stupidly creative things to achieve this, and those are the people who are in the spotlight. Creativity should be rewarded. People who aren't creative should try to team up with those who are. I find myself drawn to people who are inclusive who want to share that spotlight. I hope - in the future - to be the kind of person who can do that for someone else.
Nice thread idea. I'm interested to see someone else weigh in.
@quinn She was a roster character, so if they killed her off, I don't think I had much say in it.
