So I've finally gotten into a video game on mobile.

They put Ragnarok on iOS and Android and I love it so much.

I'm in the same camp as Tinuviel.

If I've asked a theme question, for example, it's pretty great if I can be linked to the page in question (please for the love of god never do the 'It's on the website.' reply). Even better is when you can do the 'Here's the link, it's in this subsection' because holy mother some websites have massive pages and it's easy to get lost in paragraph after paragraph after subsection after list after paragraph.

But when I'm in the middle of combat and go 'Erk, I forgot how to do this exact roll, can someone help?' it sucks to be told 'duh it's in the helpfile' because sometimes? It's easy to read over a helpfile in the middle of HELLA SPAM and miss the exact fiddly roll (and sometimes the exact-fiddly-roll is in a secondary or tertiary helpfile).

But my major peeve are the people who reply on Newbie/Help channels with 'it's on the site' AND SAY NOTHING ELSE. I'll sometimes reply: 'It's on the site, gimme a sec and I'll find it!' so the person knows help is on the way and isn't sitting there waiting for a few minutes in silence while I dig up the link wondering if they're being ignored.

(Screw you white dragon.)

play the snarky

@tinuviel said in Sanctuary:

@icanbeyourmuse Entire angel squad goes rogue. Caught behind enemy lines with no hope of rescue. Hated by their enemies, abandoned by their allies. The only ones left to turn to... each other.

This fall, on NBC. Reach Out and Touched by an Angel.

I mean, in that situ, at least one person has to play the snarky Half Demon who shows them the ropes in modern-day earth.

@tinuviel said in Sanctuary:

@auspice I was considering a similar concept. A Fallen Angel who wanted. And it was the appeal of actually having choice for once that precipitated the fall.

Could be they goaded (passively, as it were) each other into it. Sort of over time. That kind of water cooler talk. Just sort of turns eventually into it happening. Yours with the being able to choose and mine with being sick of fighting the war that s/he follows suit, perhaps.

'Well, if you're going to do it, I might as well. You're the only one worth talking to up here anymore after all.'

I am considering a Fallen Angel who got bored with the war in heaven (the 'fell in love' FA concept doesn't really speak to me) and opted to fall for that reason. If anyone wants to work in something with that or have met after they Fell, lemme know. That might help me kickstart my idea-making a little.

Anyone have a good recommendation for a concealer I could use around my eyes? I have an issue not with dark circles, but with paleness. I think it's caused by my anemia (pretty sure... I get patches where I've lost color in other areas, too; few spots on my hands for example), but it's made it difficult to wear makeup lately. Just foundation won't even things out properly, so I think I need a concealer first.

Adults do really stupid shit, too.

That wiki of locking everything down to the public reminds me of a certain group or pair of staffers that create a lot of games. They did that twilight mu and some teen ones. Can't remember their names.

I doubt it's that particular couple: they often host their own mediawiki (not wikidot) and had a specific template they used each time.

ETA: I do find it super weird that they locked down the character pages. Those weren't locked to the public the other day. Makes it hard for considering char concepts, which I've been mulling over for a few days.

When I was.... 4? 5? I tried to slide down the railing at my grandmother's house (my family lived in a single-floor rancher)... except it was a stair railing that was attached to the wall.

Predictably, my leg got stuck. My (alcoholic, angry, mean) grandmother got me un-stuck (she often babysat me and my older -- by a year -- cousin who was the one that goaded me into it) and sent me and my cousin to 'nap' for the rest of the afternoon after yelling at us for a while.

...I really didn't enjoy the afternoons I had to spend with my grandmother. We only had a small bucket of legos and a deck of cards there. Eric and I usually got sequestered with one or the other in a bedroom for the duration of the day.

@doozer said in Back in my day....:

@mietze I did that with a regular umbrella off the garage. I wanted to be Mary Poppins.

@rucket said in Back in my day....:

I've also mindlessly burned a finger or two accidentally touching a hot pan because I just wasn't thinking at the time.

I burned the hell out of my finger once because I'd just turned off a burner and the burner was off-kilter and I had the need to nudge it back into place so I just un-thinking pushed it back into place.

...worse yet is it was while I was touring a new apartment and doing the initial checklist to make sure everything was in working order, so my boyfriend and the leasing agent were both staring at me at the time. >.>

Braum goes heavy on the guyliner.

@thenomain said in EPIC vs Steam:

Someone needs to come up with a system where no matter your game store, you can just find your game and launch it without launching the launcher which has always been kind of dumb.

This is really where Steam wins as opposed to some of the others. Yes, Steam does launch when you launch the game, but so many other launchers do this sort of 'no no no, you need to go back to the launcher first!' Well then why do you even give me an icon for the game you donut?

I really enjoy The Division, but having to go through the Launcher and then into...

I haven't played Subnautica yet despite getting it through EPIC because I don't like the EPIC launcher so far. Steam knows how to stay out of your way. Battle.net at least provides you a list of games right there on the left-hand side regardless of what's going on elsewhere so you just have two clicks.

From what little I've used EPIC, it's a very busy launcher (and that might be because Fortnite is a busy game full of bright colors and lots of stuff everywhere; it's the culture of the game). I should probably give it some more time before I give a real opinion on it.

@cupcake said in Good TV:

@auspice I am convinced the Bee is Gladys Knight. I am less certain of the Peacock, but my bet is David Hasselhoff.

I'm curious about how Ken Jeong as an MD feels about being seated next to one of the most notorious anti-vaxxers in America. I imagine he secretly wants to slap Jenny McCarthy.

Oh man the reactions when the Bee said she began singing in the 50s. The whole audience! Because she fucking KILLED IT.

I love Ken Jeong. Because he's an awesome actor and comedian... and a doctor. But I hadn't even thought of that fact, with him being up there with Jenny McCarthy. Honestly, being in Hollywood, the poor guy probably has to put up with it on a regular basis. I'm hoping he uses it to try to educate her.

@tinuviel said in Ideal Scene Length?:

@derp said in Ideal Scene Length?:

Nor do I think scenes need to strive for any sort of 'resolution'.

I would argue that we don't need a narrative resolution, but we do need an 'end' point for the scene. Otherwise they can (and do) carry on far too long. I'd far prefer short and snappy than long and drawn out most of the time. I don't have the free time to invest in marathon scenes anymore.

No you hang up.

@mudrammer said in MUDRammer NANVAENT:

@auspice MUDRammer has not been under development for some time now, unfortunately. MUDRammer will crash if you try to email your logs (egg on my face...) but it's still dutifully recording them! You can connect your device to iTunes and copy/edit/delete your MUDRammer logs: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201301

I was unaware that you could still access them!

Thanks for the heads up on that.

@mudrammer

Has mudrammer been updated so that logging works? In the past, whenever I've tried to log / save logs on iPhone, mudrammer has crashed. I do like mudrammer (multiple connections is great!), but the crashing when logging is sadfas.
