From what I've heard the guy has a history of mental illness

If he didn't before, I'm sure he does now after all those hits to the head...

I'll be the first to admit that I played an IC Creep. He was built to be a sleazy 'Girls Gone Wild' porn producer type that would band anyone that let him, but that is not my RL personality at all. Maybe because I played him so over the top I never (to my knowledge) ever received any complaints OOCly about him, and people tended to deal with him ICly.

If this is IC creep on a character, then it should be dealt with IC, but maybe I am missing the point?

@Ghost Yeah, I knew about the old game...I did NOT know they were doing a new game!

Clearly none of you has seen Manos, Hands of Fate.

My nickname among my friends is Torgo.

The master would not approve!

@Ghost said in General Video Game Thread:

I am going to hold off on being excited about the Avengers. It's unfinished, but looks dated and looks like it's nothing special. Hopefully more details will come.

This. The idea of a good Avengers game fills me with joy, but so far this hasn't set good expectations.

Now Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur's Gate 3 and Vampire: Bloodlines 2 looks like they will obtain my monetary support.

@mietze Congrats!

@Snackness I used to be a one or two line poser, and then felt like I was sub-par to all the people that I would RP with that would do these long and flowery poses.

Over the years, I developed into a long poser, and now feel like I MUST have at least a paragraph before it is even worthy of hitting enter.

Now that I am stuck on a phone during the day to try and RP, it bothers me that I feel I need to have more than I do, but the limitations of typing on the phone tend to prevent the long poses.

I wish I could get back to thinking a short pose was ok, it would make me feel better about RPing from a phone when I can.

@Ghost I would be, if I had a Switch.

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

Another part of the problem is she states that I'm stuck, and the complex I applied at, is run by the same management company.

You may try going over her head to the management company. Since they are run by the same one, they are not 'loosing' any income, so they may be able to work something out and/or transfer the lease?

I don't know, just offering a suggestion to look into.

I'm all in.

@Thenomain said in Fringe/Weird RPGs:

So it's interesting to me that DriveThru RPG made a macOS client for downloading the stuff you have through them and keeping it up to date.

There is a Windows version as well.

@Auspice said in The ADD/ADHD Thread (cont'd from Peeves):

and I look at the clock after what feels like an eternity and it's.......fifteen minutes.

This. Is. The. Worst.

And it seems to be happening to me more and more. It is slowly killing my will to live.

@bear_necessities Gray Harbor - Modern Day, not WoD. Spirit Lake - Modern day, not WoD to my knowledge. So there are at least a couple.

I had the chance to work for Blizzard in 2006. I did not take it. I do not regret it.

See, I don't think 2006 was a poor era for Blizzard. WoW was still in its infancy but defying expectations, and things were Getting Done at the company. Once you hit the years around Cataclysm's development and Diablo III, though? I do wonder how things changed.

My reasoning at the time was not wanting to mix what I enjoy in my free time and what I get paid to do.

Not bad reasoning. I still have feelings of anger and/or sadness when I go and try and play Everquest or any of the other SOE games.

I may have only been a web developer there, but I touched just about if not every single website that SOE did for 16 years. I loved that place, and when it was sold to become Daybreak and the incoming investment firm laid off 40% or so of the company (including me because highest seniority = highest paid = get the fuck out for our bottom line) it broke me for a bit.

I still miss it.

@Ghost Hell, that is the length of my commute every morning.

@Alamias lol I can't stop watching and smiling at that gif

Yeah, sorry. That was a bit em-bear-assing.
