I miss carton network having decent, non-anime programming. I went to lunch one day and they had a TV on cartoon network (kid-friendly place during the summer) and there was something called Angry Orange that was on, and something called Gumball. The 'cartoon overlaid on top of a real image' was jarring when I looked up at it.
I swear, CN just needs to buy the rights to bunches of 80s and 90s cartoons and call it a day.
@ThatOneDude
Why does she have Sakura's wand from Cardcaptor Sakura?!
@Cobaltasaurus
I ended up having a trusted person install it. No matter what option I used, it would just quote as a block of unspaced text. I even added the line breaks and resaved it, and it STILL was fubar.
It's working now though.
Welp.
Time came to install AnomalyJobs so I can futz around with it and get it set up after doing all my custom stuff.
I can't get it to install.
NO matter what I do it only quotes via MUSHclient 'send file' or copy/pastes as a giant blob of text. I have downloaded the archive twice. It displays fine in Notepad++ and one huge chunk in Notepad (about what I expected).
Any thoughts or ideas would be super useful.
Spending time with the partner doing mundane things, like shopping.
And going back to look for pants that fit and finding out that, not only are they on a good clearance for like $15, but there's also an extra 33% off sale, and getting to refill the wardrobe for much cheaper than you expected.
Mage20th is out to backers.
I have the PDF.
I have yet to read it.
I will post more when I've read it.
But so far it looks like they've updated stuff ala V20, and done things like.. .renamed Spheres for use in the Technocracy (Spheres get Technocratic-style names that still define what they are).

No, I was long since gone from even attempting M3 at that time, so I never really interacted with Leo except for a little bit, when I had my Emeritus OOC character, and everyone was so dismissive of people 'just having an OOC character to see other people'.
I logged back in, my OOC char was nuked with no explanation or warning and off I went, never looking back. The game had taken on way too serious or crazy changes.
I think that's why I never stuck around at Videoland. I played Xianghua (from Soul Calibur) for a little while, but the sheer size I felt like faltered RP, particularly since I couldn't put ten hours a day into it like many people, and I ran a couple of the Smash Tournaments (because you gotta have an Olympics-style event on that MU* circuit, yessiree!) and really never came back after that.
@Cobaltasaurus
Based on the Captain N cartoon. tl;dr: all video games exist as branches/locations in a massive digital world. A Nintendo playing high schooler gets dragged to the world to save the good guys from the evil forces of Mother Brain, King Hippo, Eggplant Wizard, Donkey Kong and Dracula.
The MUSH expanded on this to allow ANY game, be it NES, SNES, Genesis, PS2, PC, as well as more Gamemasters (dudes from Earth) representing the major hardware units/giants (Nintendo, X-Box, Playstation, Dreamcast, Atari), with a combat code based on a MUSH approximation of the Smash Bros. mechanic.
I played and staffed there, adn I had to agree with Jay; the massive sprawl made it extremely hard to get RP, and like Megaman MUSH, there tended to be a dearth of RP unless someone was 'Imma go invade an enemy Video Game'. It also suffered from the late era Megaman MUSH crowd (that was essentially too serious) and was the first game I ever had the issue of 'twenty minutes between poses' phenomenon pop up.
Making plans to improve the yard.
We got rid of our pool (damaged during the winter, sold frame for scrap, and we weren't in it enough to really justify the chemical expense).
So we're looking at getting some nice extra shrubberies, some small trees, a new swing and setting up a nice sitting area in that corner of the yard. Perhaps we'll redo the inground pond we had where we transformed feeder goldfish into more or less koi at the old apartment years ago.
@Eerie
go ahead and release Hikaru from the Forsaken. I have lost inspiration for him. Perhaps another time.
Coming home from doing something and telling my partner 'Hey, let's go see a movie' and us just going out to go do that thing.
@BetterJudgment
I'll give you some of my 90 degree muggy weather in trade for something that's not making me have heat headaches.
@Tempest
I could see it being difficult on a MU, because skipping 100 years with the same characters and such? That'd be difficult for many people go grok onto, particularly in light of how most MU*s handle time, and most MUs handle character socialization.
100 years is significant time, even for an immortal monster like a vampire, and there could/would be significant changes to a character that players may not be able to make up on the fly.
I've played in a similar concept in tabletop which worked, but I think it worked because we had a lot of reason to stay in the same area/stay in contact with each other for the first few timeskips, and the ST went over in depth with us a lot of what we did between the timeskips.
If you could give that kind of necessary attention to every player, I think it would work. Otherwise you'll end up with people who just bring the same exact character forward (which I guess can be doable with vampire stagnation, but is not really fun), continuing as if nothing really happened.
So.
This is a thing. Supergirl TV show on CBS.

It looks... actually pretty decent. Smallville-esque with more superheroics right off the bat. Plus I'm now pausing the video to identify the aliens/villains shown on the screen in it.
All I have to say is, this is a lot of good staffing advice. There's such awesome stuff here.
But the note of communication is paramount.
Myself, I'll use the boards to announce issues that are going to involve the game as a whole, particularly when I've had to PFire people from characters and staff before. It helps to quell the 'WAAAH SO UNFAIR' firing bitching (not that it won't happen at all, BUT... it helps to quell).
@tragedyjones
I cannot WAIT for the next season of The 100.
@HelloRaptor
I think Penguin is by far my most stand-out favorite character in that show, really. The actor does a good job.
@BetterJudgment
Well, to be fair? Probably most of their stuff is Toklien by way of the movies, rather than Tolkien by way of the books. So y'know, DORF-ELF WAIFU and shit.
@Bennie
I wondered if this type of thing would be a good use of places; makes me glad I decided to write a workable version for PennMUSH for my game.
