It's funny how quickly the major decisions make you realize who actually cares and who was just there for what you could do for them.

Tiny gripe:

My coffee mug is too good at keeping my coffee hot.
It's been an hour. I want to drink my coffee now.

very little code is invisible. (Help being one example that is... but, well, it's not like you're going to do away with your help system even if nobody happens to be using it very often. I hope :))

No, but you might move it off game. I'd actually be super interested in how many people do help/detail on Ares to get the full file, for example, vs following the web link.

She and I had a lively debate about this kind of recently. I am too tooled to looking for the help on the game, and would resent not even having a link, or even having a link pushing me out of the client.

She told me I was being silly.

I bet she has it in game for players like me. I mean, it’s not perfect but at least it’s easier to browse than whatever train wreck style Arx has going on.

I've gone back and forth with Faraday myself on her attempts to push more things onto the web portal. I struggle really, really hard with adapting to it. I am so very used to doing everything in-game. I'm adapting to some things and not others (when it takes multiple pages / page-loads to do what I can do in a single edit box on a wikimedia/wikidot page, I'm probably going to be cranky, for example).

That said, I look forward to what the combat management page will become. It's not what I want it to be yet, but I'm sure it'll get there in the future.

You hate me, don’t you.

Okay, when will there be a PS4 bundle with this? I’ll start budgeting now. Ramen for a month can’t be that bad, can it?

See, ramen's already about a third of my diet.

HA! @faraday actually made a similar inquiry yesterday on BSU directly. To see how helpful help/detail is (truncated vs. full). I actually do not follow the web links often, but as I said in my reply to her:

the blurb in the truncated is often useful (if I had more free time, I could probably take inventory of which ones I think are missing commands), but there are some I reference help/detail more and when I'm ST'ing, I definitely keep the web help open.

Google Chrome sync. I love having all my stuff sync from my laptop to my tablet to my phone.

No. Shit.
Phone, Laptop, Desktop, Work PC.
Also the 'instances' ('Person' dropdown). I have Work, Personal, and School.

ilu, Chrome.

@royal Man. I could see Danny DeVito in an OWOD setting as a redcap.

It's like the role he was made for.

Who do you think? She can afford a corset-style leather jacket.

From what I know of both of you, I'm fairly certain I wouldn't break a sweat repelling you.

That and, y'know, I'm a bad-ass Internet bitch.

And I carry.

@Thenomain lives closer, so he gets to try first and report back.

I'm in love with Grace Gummer on Mr. Robot. She has such a great face.

And the scenes with her glasses on? SUPER CUTE.

I don't mean to be bad, honest.

It's not God of War that I'd be excited about.

So who are we gonna roll so we can both afford a PS4?

@ganymede said in RL things I love:

@auspice

To be fair, my leather jacket is more like a leather peacoat, and it's double-layered and weighs, like, 10 pounds.

"It's worth the drive to Acton!"

...mine is more motorcycle-jacket style. Not real leather because c'mon, I'm poor af. Which is largely why I have to wear it layered.

This says so much I think.

YOU TOO COULD BE A WASTE MANAGEMENT PRINCESS.

I have my next WoD concept.

I'm afraid you'll have to fight me for it. puts up his dukes

Tell you what. I'll take the concept to Werewolf, you can have Changeling.

Only if they can either be BFF's or mortal enemies.

ETA: If we can get @Ganymede to throw in with a similar Nossie concept, we could do wonderful and terrible things.

I love you all.

@zobi said in Good Music:

I'm on this huge synthwave kick lately and all I want to listen to is Scandroid and Gunship. Okay, there are others but these two are my current must-have's.

Gunship - Tech Noir
Scandroid - Neo-Tokyo

This remix of Scandroid's Aphelion is in my daily mix.

WELCOME BACK TO THE STAGE OF HISTORY

Apparently I can pull off the 'hoodie under leather jacket' look.

Don't mean to brag, but I've been pulling that look for 4 years now.

Okay, I'm bragging.

I hate layers. I HATE LAYERS. If I can feel sleeves bunching it's like bugs crawling on my skin.

So I've never actually tried it before.

But now we know we can go out for our steak and bourbon and be hot together. In our hoodie and leather jacket combos.

@lithium said in How much Code is too much Code?:

@auspice That would be kind of funny, and I wouldn't really care about that.

My problem is when it is ascribing action to what I am doing.

So if you say 'WB' for Welcome Back then it says So-and-so yells, "WB."

If you use an exclamation mark, it automatically makes you 'exclaim' something.

So from now on I am going to have to use emotes instead of 'says' on channels, just so I'm not doing something I don't want to be doing.

oh yeah, that's lame. Yes, it makes sense in books. We get it.
But we don't need it in our damned channel chatter.

@lithium said in How much Code is too much Code?:

When your code forces actions upon my ooc comments, it's to much. Code making me exclaim, yell, etc, on ooc channels... just, blarg. Why are you making me emote of an OOC to say WB so that I'm not /yelling/ it? Come. On.

Many years ago, on Hogwarts MOO, if you used more than three exclamation points in a row (!!!) on a channel, you got booted.

...I kinda miss that tbh.

@surreality

To this day, one of my favorite things on the intarwebs.

@auspice This may have made me go head boop my cat.

Every day when I get home from work, my kitty leaps up on the laptop table and meeps at me demanding heat butts and nuzzles.
