@Macha I haven't used it much but it's worked pretty well when I did. The chair also leans back quite far, you could probably nap in it if you were so inclined.
Considering my leg-ishoos, the idea of a footrest has me really intrigued. I've been trying to find ways to finagle an ottoman or something under my desk and nothing has really panned out. Something on the chair itself though, hmmmmmm.

I've also played around with Storium RP. The pace is slow - sometimes maddeningly slow - and the quality is very hit-or-miss depending on the players. But it's much more friendly to wacky schedules and limited time.
I tried RoleGate recently because YAY D&D I CAN FINALLY TRY 5th EDITION... it lasted a bit longer than any Storium game I've tried, but it still died off.
The second game I tried, I got my character made aaaaaand that was it.
I haven't tried any others yet.
In theory I have more 'free time' than other people (due to the lack of an SO or kids), but my schedule itself is so weird and my job so often changes it up that I find it next to impossible to really ever commit to anything or schedule scenes. I see +events a lot and I'm usually like 'Welp. I'll go......if I can.' I fear even signing up since I usually don't know until day of (or even 'hour of') if I can since almost everything happens during work hours and sometimes I can slow!RP, sometimes I can't.
I didnt know where to put this but I am Hyped https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZSXlNRRoGU
SO MUCH HYPE
Some people just enjoy playing Mage.
From the day to day to the street level solutions to the great cosmic power......
And yes. Some of those people are shit lords about it. But there are people in every sphere who ruin it for the rest of the class.
Let people enjoy things ffs.
I think that's the worst part of this ongoing discussion. That whenever "I would like to play mage" comes up, someone comes in and goes "ugh mage is terrible and ruins everything"
Well aren't you a bundle of sunshine shitting on someone's day.
Yes. Mage can be an 'insta solve' to mundane problems. The issue is when STs for Mage try to write plot as if it's Hunters or Vampires or... You gotta wrote Mage problems for Mage solutions. That's all. I've seen it done. And man oh man I've got some plots rattling around in my head. Shit. I even have a metaplot in my head for a Mage game (only problem with it is that any Mortal or M+ PCs would be short-term......).

@ashen-shugar that chair also comes in WHITE?
WHAT KIND OF MANIAC BUYS A WHITE OFFICE CHAIR
That office in Manhattan that just remodeled to be "modern".
It's probably full of lawyers.

@auspice I mean, I think that hopping onto someone's ad thread and being like "but why don't you have the sphere I want!" is also kind of shitting on someone's thing. It boggles me every time it happens on every new WoD game thread.
What Roz said. I don't see "Eugh, but Mage sucks on a MU" as less valid than "Eugh, why didn't you put Mage in your MU".
Oh, I don't disagree with that.
But before threads got cleaned up someone asked if Hunter was still on the game and that discussion didn't devolve rapidly into 'why this is so terrible' etc etc it was just a simple 'No, we removed it.' over and done.
Dear boss,
If the client buys your team pizza, don't fucking put it out in a public area so the rest of the building can eat most of it.
No love,
your team that got barely any of the pizza that was meant for them.
It reads like demanding if you want an argument or you want to feel attacked, I guess.
To me it reads like someone making a request just in a throwaway style. I mean, do we really nitpick over every little thing people say to that extent now? I know I have trouble reading tone and inflection sometimes, but I didn't know we'd gotten to that point.
Often when I read insult or anger in things people 'say,' I get told I'm reading too much into it and that it wasn't meant that way. That I put 'too much stock' into what was said. In this case, I am fairly certain that @Zaroot didn't sit there thinking 'I am going to demand they put Mage on their game just for me. I think it was instead a different way of saying 'Hey if you guys ever include...'

A nice mild indica strain and 10 mg Lexapro daily. Holy shit, it's like a miracle, I feel like a person again.
Too bad I need to drive six hours for the indica and it's technically illegal where I live. >_____>
Biggest downside of having moved to TX.
The cold front has me aching like woah. I'd love to go home and have an edible or pack my mflb.
Really, all Iron Fist did is make me want a show about Ward Meachum.
I am somewhat on the spectrum and one of the things I flag hard on is fabric aversions. Some days, what I might have been totally a-OK with yesterday... I am not today. I have had days where I will get dressed... and have to run back to the bedroom fifteen minutes later to change.
I keep a change of clothes in my car. I have to pack extra clothes when I travel (which annoys the hell out of me because I like to travel light).
I can handle business casual. I'd really suffer if I had to work a job where it was business/pro. I'm glad my current job lets me roll in in yoga pants and tank tops. We do have to dress up if clients are coming into the office tho.

NASA has apparently declared that the Curiosity rover is a girl.
I'm pretty sure it is a cat.
@aria I think the whole 'matching bra/panties' thing is silly. Yes, for dates, sure.
I wear more interesting/wild socks to make office / business-casual jobs easier to handle. THEY CAN'T POLICE MY SOCKS.
