Honestly, space simulator is what made me interested in Evennia in the first place. I knew HSpace very well (I know the guide I wrote for Serenity MUSH pre-wikis was passed around long after I stopped playing, even). I love space systems on MU*s.

I began (before I got super busy with school when I began hitting 300/400 level classes) learning python... to perhaps help build space stuff for Evennia. So, uh, I'd be all about helping break shit for such a project. >.>

But there's a reason I've been obsessing over Elite Dangerous as of late.

I found that person that I pretty much perfectly mesh with for idea sharing. Like the feedback I get from them is exactly what I need and we function on the same wavelength. We've had discussions on unrelated things turn into stories that I've used for class- with huge success.

Like, I have a goddamn muse, y'all.

If it doesn't work, they tell me it doesn't fucking work. If it works, they tell me not just that it works, but why it works (which helps me build off of the part that works to enhance the story further).

I have, as a writer, needed this for so long.

@Auspice was that at me. :x i'm sorry; i'll stop.

ETA: It's obvious that SOMEONE took one too many college philosophy classes.

Well I think it’s cute.

Wait, are we doing that date thing or not?

Edit: I suspect that Auspice is responding to this recent thread. “Leg” is my current body part insult of choice.

Just sort of the whole situation.

@Meg said in RL Anger:

In other RL anger related posts, (sorry for the double post), I woke up with a fucking horrible migraine and I don't want to go to work, but I have used up most of my PTO. So I have no choice.

That was yesterday for me. I just sat in the dark all cranky-fied. Here's to an improved rest-o-the-day for you.

Celebrating death just feels uncomfortable. Like someone, somewhere is probably grieving. Let them have their grief and just... walk away.

If I'm at the point that I want someone to die, chances are I'll feel nothing when they are dead. Neither joy nor remorse.

Because their life and death meant that little to me.

That's how I feel with hate. Hate takes effort. If I feel that negatively about someone... why waste the effort on them? I'm just going to feel nothing, instead.

Didn't eat enough yesterday.
Put off eating too long today.

Now I'm too far past hunger that it's hard to make myself eat, ugh.

My migraine meds have negated my sense of hunger, so I have to remind myself to eat, except I've always been bad about that. So it's down to setting reminders. But I get caught up in work or homework, so I'll make food, then forget it... or I'll just be so not-hungry from the meds that it'll take me hours to eat it and so on.

And then have days like today. I feel like shit because of the anemia, so I need to eat, but that 'feel like shit' state makes it hard to eat.

Now I know why, when I was reading up on these meds, it said they're, in rare cases, used to treat obesity.

I think the worst part of it for me was all the people praising her for what a kind/nice/loving person she was after. I think largely that was the sort of rose-colored glasses everyone seems to get when someone dies, though. Like suddenly we want to see the best in someone because they're dead.

Or maybe she was just really good at hiding the truly bad parts.

Normally, however, yeah, I'm there with you, @Meg. Celebrating death just feels uncomfortable. Like someone, somewhere is probably grieving. Let them have their grief and just... walk away.

@scar said in RL Anger:

@Auspice That's awful and such an ugly thing to have happen to you. I think having that kind of internal response, at least initially, is natural.

It's just such an uncomfortable feeling, afterwards? Like oh god, I was briefly happy that someone died.

But then again, I guess I'd be thrilled if Trump dropped dead, so I suppose in some cases it'd be warranted?

Years ago I had someone, IRL, who I had met all of twice, send me an email with a lengthy rant about how I should/would die alone, suffering, etc... because I wouldn't let her friend steal credit for a website I'd built.

...I admit I felt a bit of karma when she was found dead in her home a couple years later. I felt bad about it after the feeling had passed, but the feeling was there.

Involved in MVA. Will be inactive for time being.

Unacceptable.

(Get better soon!)

@Lithium said in Fallen World 2.0:

@Auspice My wolf isn't Batman... not even Nightwing. More like the person who always shows up late to the party, unable to do much of anything.

I hate my work schedule.

Perpetually Late Man!
(I've been there. It sucks. Damn these jobs and their paper moneh!)

... blind guy on a MU* ...

If you pose having a service dog and then just up and let others come up and give them head pats? I will cut you. PUPPER IS A HARD-WORKING INDIVIDUAL DOING THEIR JOB.

(disclaimer: I have seen this happen else-mu. And I point this out ICly. Loudly. And am somehow the badguy.)

Just make pupper a HBC who can inform people of this on his own. In a New Yorker Accent.

"I'M WORKIN' HERE."

Plz someone play a Giovanni with me.

Pluuuuuuto

Also have a woof, but since everyone wants to be batman, there is no need to be daredevil. Working on figuring out what to do now.

It also sucks playing the blind guy on a MU* anyhow.

@surreality said in RL Anger:

@Meg I am reminded of this.

Still one of my favorite things ever.

I will just warn to be careful if you or your partner have anemia. I tried the vegetarian thing for a while and even with supplements, just could not manage to get enough iron in my diet.

However, I also have hypothyroidism, so I have to avoid a number of greens (spinach, kale, broccoli) except in small amounts because they can imbalance that if I'm not careful.

But! This book: https://www.amazon.com/How-All-Vegan-Irresistible-Animal-Free/dp/1551520672 is awesome. Even back on my omnivore diet, I love it. They're vegan recipes that are really great. Their spinach-artichoke dip is my go-to.

One of the two clients/projects I work on just cut hours. I, personally, lost 6 hours a week. That's roughly $160/check gone.

Finding another project that will need just 6 hours a week will be difficult enough. Finding one that will pay $13.50+ an hour will be next to impossible (most start at $9/hr).

Because it's not like I was trying to get money together to move in a month and a half or anything...

Two things:

1. We have had almost daily scenes lately. Both social and combat-oriented. The game is hoppin', folks. We've been trying to juggle times for both EST and PST schedules, at that. There's no real 'need' for any roles, either, so please feel free to play whatever suits your fancy! The roster has 19 chars on it right now, many of which have never been played: super easy to jump right in.

2. Faraday has added this absolutely amazing scene code. Well, she's enhanced it. This shit generates a log that posts to the wiki for you. I tried it out for the first time today and it's just amazing. While you're in the 'scene' (http://mush.aresmush.com:8081/help/scenes/index) you just set the parameters (scene/title, /summary, /type) and once the scene is over... wiki/log scene# and boom, it posts, complete with the wiki icons and everyone already tagged. No other effort required.

I may love @faraday a little for this. Okay, not even a little. I've got massive girlcrush going on.

I meant to skip the Humble Monthly this month and forgot, so... My loss is someone's gain!

Who wants Dark Souls II?

Claimed!

Loan didn't happen. Funny enough? Because I have too much money going out compared to what's coming in.

...the whole reason I'm moving is why I can't get the loan to move. Awesome.

ETA: So I'm trying the GFM thing. Because, well, I hate to do it, but I gotta try? Erf. I guess, hey, at the very least if folks can help spread the word... https://www.gofundme.com/uzzqh-moving-to-austin
