@Macha I found that one at https://atplaytoys.com/products/light-music-bar-diorama just now, but look for dollhouse kits, you'll find things like this.

RE: Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff
@Macha Someone close to me lost their dog some time ago and ended up with a new one about a year later. She still grieves for the loss of her first dog. Doesn't mean she loves the new one any less. Each relationship is its own.
Also, I think it was kinder of Remy's first family to keep the older dog who'd have more trouble adjusting and letting the younger one go to a good home.

RE: Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff
@Macha Screw those people. If you want to do it, do it. If you think you can love a sweetiepie who's going to love you back? Run with it. Grief doesn't run the same way for everyone, nor should it, people aren't cookie cutters of each other.

RE: Good TV
@Runescryer One could argue that given the events of the end of the Sandman run, it's an exercise in how much one point of view can change and still remain the same person. (That's as non-spoilery as I can get.)

RE: Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff
@Macha You're doing what's best for him, not you. That's kindness, not failure.

RE: Good TV
@Hella He was wonderful!
And I finally let myself finish it. And cried. I really want season 2. I want ALL the seasons.

RE: Good TV
@Runescryer Admittedly, every time Martin Tenbones came on the screen, I had to yell "MARTIN TENBONES!" Like he could hear me.

@ZombieGenesis Oh, no! This one hurts!

RE: Good TV
Only finished the first three eps, but holy shit.
The Sandman is fulfilling all of my wildest dreams.

RE: Highlights of Ares?
I love that Ares has the ability to do asynch RP. (I mean, whether I like the "takes freaking forever and a month" scenes or not, some people love that so the fact that the capability is there makes me happy.)
But I also very much like the way XP is handled, it keeps people from advancing too fast and you can't rack up 100 XP and then spend it all at once.
I also like the ease of making a cha...ok, if I start talking about everything I like on Ares, we're gonna be here all day.
I'm not on any Ares games right now and while I have now discovered the joys of BeipMu, I am missing the Ares interface like whoa.

According to a tweet from George Takei, we lost Nichelle Nichols today.

RE: What Would it Take to Repair the Community?
@Selira @Mietze Well, if they'd made the choice to behave here, they wouldn't be there, now, would they? I mean, seriously, for a bunch of people committed to protecting mental health, the banned people didn't give much thought to who they were harming when they continued to throw their temper tantrums and then got banned for it.
So, they made another board where they could do what they want and be as mean as they wanted and STILL ended up with rules like here, but they're not enforced.
You can say what you want but your board is public and anyone can read for themselves. Just like the boards here are public.
However, again, feel free to respond, I'm pretty done with this idiotic argument.

RE: What Would it Take to Repair the Community?
@TNP I disagree. I know too many people who won't come to MSB because it was downright mean. And people who still won't because they don't trust it. Can't say I blame them, given how many times we've had to point out that people are attacking the person instead of the idea.
The fact that a whole group went and formed another board just so they could continue being really mean to people says more about them than this place, really.
-
RE: What Would it Take to Repair the Community?
@TNP Then they can rename their board "WORA" and no one's going to give a damn. Not sure why they didn't, to be honest. I'd be all for it, myself. Take back the original name rather than trying to take a new one, you'll get all the people who liked that kind of thing.

RE: What Would it Take to Repair the Community?
@Tez I'm not saying this is why people were banned, except Kestrel. I'm saying this is behavior that is no longer welcome. (I'm not speaking to past bannings, just the one that I was involved with.) Hope that clarifies it.

RE: What Would it Take to Repair the Community?
@simplications I think the only way we can really keep going to protect people from bad actors is to a) establish what the bad behaviors that we want to see people protected from are, b) establish how much responsibility on any given game the player base needs to do in order to protect themselves, and c) have places where we can keep talking, honestly, and hopefully kindly.
I know people are going to be up in arms about my point b) but the thing is this: there's nothing wrong with staff saying, "I only have so many spoons, there are steps you need to take, too." At the very least, how about a blanket "I am not comfortable around this person and am requesting a No-Contact Order?" Mail it to the person and CC staff so there's some kind of...paper trail, and then if the person who's going no contact gets paged or @mailed again, there's that request already in place. (It's a theory, a suggestion, not a "my will be done," btw. A jumping off point for discussion.) I mean, at least on Ares, there's multiple easy ways to report a page convo or a scene to staff. Otherwise, there's screenshots and logs.

RE: What Would it Take to Repair the Community?
@GreenFlashlight And again, we have this argument.
Bring. Receipts. Is. Not. A. Bad. Default.
I don't know you from Adam, you could be a liar of the highest order. How do I know this? I've run afoul of VASpider and her at-the-time coterie and they sure as hell did a number on me on her say-so. For over two years. So you may not trust authority but I don't trust a mob mentality OR authority, even when the authority is mine. I second-guess myself so much that I annoy people and myself.
It's not about litigation, it's about bringing ANY kind of evidence.
Also, the people no longer welcome on this board are the ones who want to bring the personal attacks. Personally, I want to hear from the people who've been scared into silence for the last few years.
