There's a special place of suffering for people who set the office thermostat to 77.

77! WHY

The flu I had the other week has left me with a cough and asthma attacks... Which left me, today, wanting to play a neonate vampire who was a severe asthmatic in life and every so often becomes conscious of the fact they aren't breathing and has minor panic attacks over it.

@surreality I was told that, when cooking spaghetti at least, one fistful of pasta per person. That never seems to work out right, though. So cook it all up, make a bomb-as-fuck sauce to go with it and boom. Dinner for tonight and lunch for the rest of the week.

This might be another part of why I do it. When my fibro was so bad that I needed a cane at times to walk, I would spend one of my days off cooking. One big batch of X for dinners and a batch of Y for lunches.

I mean this week I made enough of a chicken casserole for 4 meals. >.>

@bored

Out of curiousity (and I mean this sincerely)... Do you mean consensus or do you mean 'When I, bored, think a post should be moved.'?

Because in most cases (not all, I will admit: such as Gany's move of the thread the other day), moves have been made based on discussion between the three of us and users flagging the posts in question.

The latter is a bit of a sticking point for me. I understand the desire to see people voicing it 'aloud,' but I'm not going to try to force people to voice their discomfort in the public eye.

@bored

The only times I recall seeing 'that's not constructive' trotted out have been:

• Someone flinging personal insults at the person they disagree with (rather than any conscious counter-argument).
• Someone posting shit just for the sake of trolling / fanning the flames (without providing any actual content other than the troll).

I think we can all agree neither of those are constructive, yeah?

@bored said in Regarding administration on MSB:

@faceless I'd be happy with that as an alternate solution too. I'm not really too picky about how we handle things, I just don't want bad reviews hidden from the public eye.

Bad reviews aren't (look at the Stranger Than Fiction thread). Bad reviews full of insults, inflammatory language, and other, well, Hog Pit-esque behavior may well end up there.

Plenty of people on the board have shown themselves able to say 'this game is garbage don't go there' without, y'know, using some of the personally insulting language that turns everything into a dumpster fire.

That's all people are asking, man. Word your negative review without going, for example, '...and everyone who sets foot on this game is a rapist and puppy kicker.'

I mean of course that's gonna set people off and two pages later, we're forking it off to the Hog Pit because we don't have enough fire extinguishers on hand.

Making a new thread because I know a number of people wanted to know when it released and I didn't want it buried somewhere (because I am EXCITED okay).

The ebook preorders went live today: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077GS1L96/

$4.99. Release on the 30th.
The last Anthology (Body Horror) had a physical copy as well. If this one updates with one, I'll post to let y'all know. But $4.99 is a decent price point for a book full of short stories.

Once again: fuck migraines.

And fuck medications that you can't take more than X times in a week because they'll cause rebounds.

I'm almost tempted to risk it.

The book my story will be published in goes up for pre-orders later today!

Yes, I will be posting with link deets once it does.

Have some EDM:

Like A Boss
Great Spirit
Punjabi

(I have found EDM to be the best music for me, personally, to walk to on my commute. Thus, I've been listening to a lot of it.)

God, I hate you people.

We love you.

@ganymede said in RL things I love:

Look, do I have to freakin' go down and cook for you?

My brain misread that and I choose to keep my version.

I'm not sure if it's just the mystery of pasta or growing up in a big family and never losing that tendency to cook in volume.

eyeroll

Look, do I have to freakin' go down and cook for you? I already have to get you hammered off of bourbon.

C'mon, woman.

Look, I'm a baker.

I can cook well in two instances:
a) if I have a recipe.
b) I'm the magical combination of drunk/high. For some reason, I become a kitchen savant whose only goal in life is to feed everyone around me.

Also: heehee, you said going down and referenced me in the same sentence.

@tinuviel said in RL things I love:

Over three decades on this planet and I still have no idea how to accurately judge pasta when cooking it... so I cook it all.

This is me.
And I live alone.

I've gotten to where sometimes I just cook half the package.

I'm not sure if it's just the mystery of pasta or growing up in a big family and never losing that tendency to cook in volume.

fuck migraines

@arkandel said in Changeling The Lost 2nd Edition Kickstarter:

@auspice Development plus some printing costs $50k? That seems... lower than I expected.

Then again I've no idea what the profit margins for White Wolf are these days.

There's smaller companies that manage to publish games without hitting up Kicktarter. I just don't know how comfortable I am with more and more large, established companies using it. I feel like it risks drowning out the actual startups and indie artists.

Fuck people that don't bathe and then ride the bus.

Lady I used to hang out around punk rockers and none of them ever smelled this bad.

Thank God there was another seat open.

@ganymede said in Changeling The Lost 2nd Edition Kickstarter:

I've already written 3/4 of a C:tL 2E update.

But you're not a major company in desperate need of money!...wait.

I see that $800 bought out for the opportunity to be listed as a 'Consulting Developer' and all I can think is:

'Which MU*er am I going to see bragging about that credit next year?'

If this game is run by who I think it is, be very careful about revealing who you play there after ranting here.

Because if it is the same couple, I was torn into for posting a gripe. Spoken to in ways that were abusive on the highest level. All because they have a 'rule' that no one's allowed to talk about them here.
