Added Philippe as I play him every now and again and looking to start mushing a little again, Changed Arx to 'none' as after Abbas I ended up walking away. I started and made 'Dario' but some circumstances had me just deuce out from the game and take a break from the new House.

@shangdi

I tried to make a character but it's been so long I gave up and there was very little to no help in the process. I read a pdf and muddled my way through but couldn't figure out how to look at my character sheet to pick back up.

Then I had no clue how to submit so glad that has been amended.

@ortallus It is absolutely fantastic. I fell in love with both of the main characters. Give it through episode three.

Abbas how others see him:

How he sees himself:

@Ganymede

$1,100 from checks (set aside weekly through my salary). That is for gas and spending money.

The tickets I will just buy outright ahead of time. Same with the hotels.

I'll have another $2k cash on me for reserves. And $20k in credit cards in case I need it but I better be like really in some sort of bind for that.

Mostly I'm looking for stuff I can do that isn't about spending a ton of money in these cities. Or thoughts on what to do.

For example I think ahead of the trip I'm going to get hats shipped from China for each home team for all three of us. Then when we arrive in each city I'll bust them out to wear until the next city.

For example:

When in Chicago I will figure out the best place to take my sons to get Chicago style pizza. Never been there before so will need to see what is suitable for my sons and I to try.

No idea what to do in Cleveland for a day.

@saosmash

You are absolutely right and it is a poor choice of words. I won’t edit it to hide it but let me substitute and say I mean ‘mob’ minus the association with lynching. My mistake and I am sorry if it offended.

@three-eyed-crow I grew up in Glendale and was born in Phoenix. I grew up watching Suns games with my father. We had some amazing and fun runs between 7 Seconds or Less and the Barkley title run.

I loathe the Spurs and the Lakers due to my Suns loyalties. My sons although Texans root for the orange and purple too.

@arkandel

I would like the Suns to take a slow ride. I love what they did in the draft this year. I love the cap flexibility. I hope we throw out one year deals to not bind our cap space and that Ayton/Booker starts a good core. If Josh Jackson can get a shot he is dynamic enough defensively/energy wise to be great. I think Bridges is exactly the right pick for this team.

I think I want Patrick Beverley since we're stuck with Knight for a bit longer. Kemba/Lowry I just don't want to pay the price for in a guard dominant league when our players should be given a couple more years to develop.

I tend to avoid online relationships through mushing. I don't manage long distance well and being in the boonies and the random hit or miss of the awkward single pool lends me to avoid it online. I've had one like twenty years ago, we departed friends, and reconnected 20 years later on Arx randomly. Really that was the only RL mushing relationship I engaged in that went from IC to OOC.

How do you single people mu* and date or hold a relationship at the same time? Do you mush or explain it? Is time an understanding an issue? Usually I focus on RL and take a hiatus and then as a relationship finds itself and we each take our own personal time I'll engage in online role-playing again.

How many of you met your RL loves through mu*ing?

I'm dating now and my online time is near zero. I often wondered if I would have been better off trying to and find a gamer to get with but at the same time I'm not an all-in mu*er either. I am a pretty active father, have a career, and my priorities are towards offline.

It's interesting having this hobby and meeting others that do not. I usually get stares and no understanding (even if there is no time issue).

I just started Podcasts for the first time.

The Last Podcast on the Left
Hardcore History
Lore
(A slew of NBA and Suns)
Sword and Scale
The Daily

Love The Last Podcast on the Left. Love Love. Their run on Rasputin, the Oklahoma City Bombing, and in particular the Donner Party was exceptional. Any suggestions like that?

@kanye-qwest Murder dictionary is also two women and they are quite comical too at times. I started with 'B' is for biker which are some of their more recent episodes. I would definitely recommend them to you now that I am like 5 episodes deep. I will try out the one you suggested on my drive home this evening. Excited.

@surreality

If you and your husband would like to write a card or something and send it my way I would be happy to leave your thoughts and sentiments or something to represent you in your desire to be there for the March.

@Wizz

Loved the first episode. Love Love Love.

Liked the second episode.

Meh on the third episode (although I recognized the boy and the Ouiji board right away and was like Ohhhhhh he is going to have a bad trip! I know why! I know why!) and that was the one thing I really liked about it.

@ganymede No, you're right. Amazing news for me and my fam. I just didn't know where to put it so replied to my own previous post of concern

@wizz Sounds like that's the way he handles pain as a child.

My son will be 10 next month too and he shrieks in an ear piercing and horrible way that drive me insane. It hurts ears. Truly hurts. My eldest son did this as well but puberty fixed, lol. Now he only screeches at bees but he is not neurotypical.

The social aspects of this screech I have corrected and is getting better. I couldn't imagine trying to correct or make sense of the pain reaction. Especially that young as it is part of his natural defensive reaction. And while it may seem overblown for my situation how he deals with those situations is tolerable and I hope the maturation process will resolve it.

Seems like it should be an uncommon situation even if overblown or more frequent. I just (no judgment) in my world wouldn't aggressively seek to change or push that natural emotional reaction out the door. Their minds are still young and fragile.

That said I feel like a jerk for even responding.

Lol, so.. right after typing this the school is closing tomorrow /and/ Monday for the insane East Texas covid case load they have right now.

No classes for my three sons tomorrow. And they get the MLK holiday! Woot.

Now here is where I just get sick. My spouse has to coach three basketball games tomorrow night. That's not cancelled. Covid < Sports but > Education. Go Texas.

I know this is “Good TV” but the Book of Fett is crap thus far. Yuck. Just watched it and if it wasn’t for the kids would have turned it off.

@Macha

I go near the location of Tom Brown's Body when heading to Colorado (or now New Mexico) for my smoke. I listened to the podcast and ate at the diner, saw the signs, and looked around when I drove through the area.

Kinda made me feel strange that I did it. But also, a bit cool to see some of the places.
