Come back from the dead, thread!

The idea of a united cinematic DCU seems dead now.

and that article reminded me how angry I am about the BoP movie.

Thanks, Ark. :<

@Pandora said in General Video Game Thread:

Work from home they say, the day before Animal Crossing comes to Switch & the Final Fantasy 7 remake comes to PS4. Sure, I'll "work" from home.

I am so upset I don't have money for Animal Crossing. Want it so bad. I the franchise.

Uh. Are there any ones who aren't, you know... awful?

Ordo aren't inherently awful. They are the most likely to do SCIENCE and whatnot. Their coils used to be about lessening the curse by varying degrees, I'm not 100% sure if that is still the case.

They are.
But that's part of why they're awful because those Coils require performing mad science on mortals, other supers, or themselves.

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

It wouldn't be dramatic of you, but depending on how close you are to her, it could just play into what I will assume is his "woe is me" play where he has to deal with his crazy ex and no one understands him blah blah but now SHE sees what he has to deal with and hey, drinks on him?

Speaking from someone who has been there, done that, got the "I should have listened to you" speech after he did turn out to be the total abusive asshole I tried to warn them away from.

And this is what I worry about, except it won't just be an 'I should have listened to you speech' right away.

She is in a very, very fragile place, which is why I'm so anxious for her. She went through worse than I did because her ex wasn't just emotionally abusive, but physically, too.

My ex could undo all the work she has done and been doing to recover and put herself back together. And not only am I far away, but so is her best friend (they recently moved to Florida). Who I am sure is also anxious (because she lived a few blocks from me and was someone whose house I would go to when I needed to escape) about it.

@Auspice If you do, be prepared for her to tell him everything you said and then the resulting drama on FB. No good deed goes unpunished.

I know this all too well.

Look, you're the one who brought music here. You opened that door. Deal with it.

A SPECIFIC MUSIC.

I wanna see Animal Crossing screenshots. Share 'em.

POLL: Do you want A Normal Freehold That's Always Been There But Nobody Really Ever RPed About It or do you want There Was A Scary Thing That Kept Changelings Away But Now It's Gone And That's Its Own Kind of Scary? Caveat: I may ignore what the responses are and do what I want anyway. I may also steal ideas here that are not those two and run with them if they're better than mine.

I like the second option.

and the big scary thing was...........................

a possum.
just one.
out by the dumpster behind Chilis.

This is why you need to punch things softer than walls and more resilient than kittens.

Or, you know, do what I do: makiwara set up in the basement.

What basement?

I would like to (goes back to the whole 'being poor' thing, sadly) get into some form of martial arts class tho.

I took some Aikido recently. It's a biiig change from both the Okinawan martial arts and the Wing Chun I studied previously. I recommend trying out a few, to see where your interests and strengths lie.

As a teenager, I did a few ju jitsu classes. I also got dragged to some karate classes by my mother (who wanted someone to go with). I much preferred the former. Having a whole set of moves to learn from (vs. 'building blocks') was much more my style. I liked having the entire series to work with because it just meshed better with how I operate and learn.

I've never had a chance to try any others since.

@RedJellyBean said in Crossing Animals!:

If you time jump, though, your store will not upgrade to the largest store (which is only one up from Nook's Cranny'). I couldn't figure out why my store has stayed the same, even though I've been on more than 30 days since it upgraded, spent over 200,000 bells and had Label a bunch of times. Then someone mentioned that. You need to play 30 days straight without time jumping.

It looks like you also need '30 each of fish / bugs / fossils donated to museum (seemingly)' (per one site I'm looking at).

I guess it's possible there's an upgrade to Nook's Cranny that makes it 24/7 and we just haven't discovered it yet. Agh. Guess I need to just maybe get in the habit of playing as I wake up (to at least sell stuff) until I've upgraded at least one more time.

I need to try to RP more but work deadlines + an asthma attack that is broaching the 2 week mark means what RP energy I do have goes primarily to SGM.

But for the late night people, pester Judy when you see her on. She's the best.

@zobi said in Introducing... <Spoilers>!:

I tried to click on it and it didn't work for me at first. Did a refresh of the browser and it worked after that.

Using Chrome ^-^

Phew. We'll call it a nodebb weirdness. If we see more people have issues, we'll pull it, but so far it seems to be working.

Enjoy the new toy! We've got some major movies (and new seasons of shows, like Strange Things!) coming out soon, so be kind to folks who can't watch stuff immediately.

@surreality

I loved it. I have never had a drug actually work for pain before. I mean some have helped. They've taken the edge off and lowered me from a ten to a five or a six to a two, etc. They've helped me be able to eventually sleep.

Dilauded was the first to give me that drugged happy no pain sense that I've heard people describe on vicodin, percocet, and other drugs.

On another note: this mother fucker on the bus just touched my hair what the fucking fuuuuuuck

Hardspace: Shipbreaker is my new favorite game. All the to @Livia for gifting it to me.

@Melpomene Staff too lazy to check XP and prereqs, got it. Which is annoying, but it is what it is.

Like, doublepost, and I don't wanna be a dick, but tbh this post right here has me kinda infuriated, ngl.

On the bright side I'm in my second scene and quite enjoying it

I am hearing bits and pieces about it from Judy on my bus ride home.

After conferring with my colleagues... well, you know the drill.

Since Ark forgot to say who: Louis Manigault was banned. Lain-clone that he was.
