B-b-bbbut @Auspice ! You made his boner sad.
That's practically a war crime, you heinous bitch!
Nobody wants a sad boner. :<
As a mostly-straight woman who really likes dick, can confirm. I generally prefer happy boners. Perky, even.

@auspice The "m'lady" was what really did it for me.
A++. Would shop again.
I am super excited to see this!!!
Does anyone have any idea what's open, active, and halfway decent?
Thanks to autocorrect, I just responded to a player's friendly bear hug greeting with "From afar, Mia drugs you back!"
I can't stop laughing.

I am going to go visit my RP bestie of almost four years next month and help turn his awful breakup/months of couch-surfing into a "bring all your friends over into your furniture-less new place and we'll have a big camp out/slumber party in your empty living room" housewarming bash. Followed by a full-on Macklemore visit to the local thrift shop to help him get new stuff.
I am excited. ^_^
Due to the awful circumstances said RP bestie still finds himself in, he remains in dire financial straits. I, meanwhile, have an Amazon Prime account. And thus the ability to invade his porch with a functional coffee pot if I want to. >.>
There are few things as amusing as watching someone flail at me for being nice to them.

@aria And they've all been during the week which makes driving to work suck if not impossible.
A couple of weeks ago, I spent three hours getting home from work.....
...My office is 13 miles from my house. I'm pretty sure I started crying when I walked in the door.
Fourth nor'easter this month. It's been a colder March than February, when we had some random 60 degree days.
I don't mind the cold and actually prefer it to summer, but... piss off, winter. You had your chance.
I did both of these and it's still not working. Any ideas?

I am a bit relieved to be done with him in some sense. There is a large gap in immaturity where players associate characters with their players. I had seen a lot of it and understand this is a natural tendency for any medium like this. I took Tovell (the pious and dutiful knight) off the roster to sort of just compare experiences. I kept my use of him pretty much unknown and the difference in how I was treated as a player was amazing. Some of the same people that were crap OOCly to me with one alt were friendly, welcoming, and utterly different on the unstated alt. I enjoyed the OOC experience of playing a good-guy far far more.
In fairness to that, there's a marked difference between outright hostility ooc and just people being guarded, though. If someone is an antagonist, a lot of people just aren't comfortable being extremely communicative ooc because they feel they could be considered disingenuous if they then need to work contrary to you, or want to avoid ooc pressure over IC decisions. Anyone can be really friendly and chill when they know there is absolutely nothing at stake for doing so, and I tend to pay closer attention to the people that are that way when they know their own characters are at risk.
I honestly try to be OOCly friendlier when I play meaner characters.
^ This.
If someone is playing an antagonistic character and is also openly and freely nice OOC, either on public channels or in the OOC room or what have you, I'm going to assume that they're a very cool person I'm happy to interact with -- and may even especially enjoy RPing with, because I know that IC animosity isn't going to bleed over. (Fun fact: this is actually how I went from being casual RP acquaintances to online friends to offline friends with my partner of ten years.)
But I've also played (and staffed) on enough games in the last 19 years to have had plenty of run-ins with the sort of players that very much enjoy being dicks and kicking over other people's sandcastles for funsies, because they think they're so clever and devious and awesome-er than you, mwahahaha. As a result? If someone playing an antagonist does not seem openly OOCly friendly and cool, I'm not going to go out of my way to be awful to them... but I'm also probably not going to go out of my way to be friendly and nice to them and invite them to stuff, either, just as a general rule. No one wants to be the person that brought the jerk that ruins the party.
With that said, I never interacted with Abbas IC or OOC, though admit one of my characters loathed him by reputation. So the above is not a reflection on him in any way, but more a general comment re: RP experiences.
We have no internet for the second night in a row.
Works just fine during the day, but somehow, there manages to be an outage that starts before I get home.
"Fuck you, Comcast," she said from her teeny phone keyboard.
I am a pineapple on pizza person, but that pizza must have some sort of salty pork product on it, and preferably also chicken and barbecue sauce.
My default option at most places is pepperoni, sausage, and mushroom -- usually a safe selection, even at places that are 'meh'.
But the pizza of my dreams? The pizza that I yearn for? When I went to IU Bloomington, there was a local pizza place called Aver's that specialized in gourmet pizzas. We're talking, like, "these people have won national awards" level gourmet pizza. And they had one named the Cream and Crimson, which were our school's colors. They delivered it to our house by accident one night, as someone else in our complex apparently had ordered that plus one of the two pies we'd gotten and the driver accidentally swapped the two. By the time we figured out what happened and called the shop? They told us they were already sending out replacements to both places and to just eat it. So we did. And it was amazing.
I present, from their website:
"Cream & Crimson - Alfredo sauce and cheese are blanketed with a layer of oven-roasted red potato seasoned with fresh garlic and dill. Topped off with bacon, cheddar and creamy gorgonzola cheese."
If you are ever in the Bloomington, IN area? I highly recommend ordering from them. Highly. I haven't lived there in almost 13 years and I still miss their food.
Trufax: Not one but two different women in my family married into the name "Ruth Guth", in the days before not changing or hyphenating was an option. You know those ladies loved their husbands very, very much.
I played TT for the first time in years on Monday night. And it didn't take me an hour of staring at feats to figure out WTF I was doing on this latest D&D edition. ^_^

@aria
Post your reaction to The Good Place finale.It's my current Best Thing and the second season's even better, tho not all up anywhere expect On Demand right now.
It keeps messing with me that one of the main characters is a college professor born in Nigeria named Chidi, given that one of my most recent professors was born in Nigeria.... and named Chiji.
So I started The Good Place last night and am now halfway through the first season. Kudos!
Also, @surreality? Jesus Christ yes, on the Black Mirror. I made it to the "Hang the DJ" episode, which is a pretty positive one, and was like, "Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah, I'mma just pretend the series ended here. Later, bitches!"
