Finally watched Mandy. Setting aside its fridgey premise, I really liked the ambience and gorefest.
Watched The Gentlemen. Classic Guy Ritchie. You'll like it if you like Guy Ritchie's stuff.
Also saw Bloodshot. If Vin Diesel starred in a superhero movie, it would be like... oh, wait.
Definitely this series is growing on me, but man it is soooooooo WoD City by Night.
would recommend!
It definitely grows on you.
I really liked some of their world building; their werewolves are definitely unique (and when you get to their "afterlife", I liked that too).

@Apollonius I'll leave this in the Constructive section of the forum for now although... I don't see it.
I'm not even sure what the fucking point of the thread is.
Are we supposed to, what? criticize? comiserate? what?

All I want is the ability to repeat entered text by keying in the up arrow.
You can do that with CTRL+UP in the default setting (just in case you didn´t know!).
This is one change I'm getting a little used to, because it was Ctrl+P in SimpleMU.
Now, I like the history window as an option in Beip (and liked it in Potato), but I'm going without it for now as I get more used to Ctrl with the up and down arrows to cycle through commands. That part alone is not bad, at least. Just a muscle memory thing to get down as a minor change.
I was used to CTRL+P too.

One of my coworkers just told me about Deadly Class and it is so fucking good. Why is this cancelled?!?
Because we can't have nice things. 
I still have an idea for a Deadly Class MU rattling in my head.
@scar said in A bit of trouble on Firefly:
The search for further explanation is just one more sloppy attempt to exert control and victimize, or revictimize, his targets. He actually did receive a reason, at least from SL. It was a Rihanna meme!
In addition to the roster character he was banned on, he could be attributed to five additional logins, not including those rosters he claimed post-banning.
Here is one of their stories.

(SN) Staff NexusUiland has arrived.
Uiland says, "Ares, there's a reason you always run and hide 'in time' when we try to fight. That's because we don't fight, I simply win before you bow and then run. Almost like you launch yourself backwards with the speed of Alucards "Super Jump"."
Uiland says, "Char2 isn't Japanese, but he thinks He's turning Japanese by watching all these shows the little brother ordered."
Uiland says, "Char3, go throw a baseball."
Uiland says, "Char3, I liked you on your show because you knew how to sing. That's why you think I'm here, you see."
Uiland says, "Ares says to me "Now begone from my presence you pest!!" because he's still afraid of the best. :-D"
Uiland says, "Char3, you tried to re-bane me. You are the stain within me, the sin that should only begin when One is Furious."
Uiland says, "And, well, you don't realize that when I go back to the Reactor remembering all my time listening to Juno, that's when I'm more furious than any other."
Uiland says, "https://www.youtube. com/watch?v=Crg_pMUBgIs ~ https://www.youtube. com/watch?v=E1sGhmcZ7Pg"
Uiland says, "How do you think I get from One place to the Other soulfully?"
Uiland says, "Can't even use emotes in the game, because Ares only thinks everything should come down to a fight."
Uiland says, "Char1, the Dead One who Lose. :-D"
Uiland says, "Such a shell of a game, like the look in most of your eyes. Because I did say that if you joined with Him, you would forever lose."
Uiland says, "Isn't this so much fun you group of proverbial puns?"
Uiland says, "Why don't you run and get Patrick?"
Uiland says, "Go on, run and get your "savior". The only One who truly got to know me. The rest of you trusted his description of me."

@Tat said in A bit of trouble on Firefly:
This player had also picked up a roster on Spirit Lake. Thanks to folks who shared info about him - after getting the new Ares security upgrades in, he's been banned from us as well.
His behavior on our game never crossed a line (that we knew of), but given what we've seen from him from people I know and trust, we're not willing to give him that chance.
@faraday said in A bit of trouble on Firefly:
Of note, since not everyone reads the Ares forums...
The player in question has been banned from AresCentral.
Being banned from a particular game generally does not affect your AresCentral status. However:
- If you’ve been banned from a game, you may not come here and pester the game-runner(s) who banned you. Take the hint and leave them alone.
- I reserve the right to make exceptions in extreme circumstances, like someone who’s been serially harassing people and maliciously attempting to bypass bans across multiple games.
They responded (due to a glitch with the forum ban... my error) protesting that they had been so very polite while doing #1, while apparently completely missing the fact that it was inappropriate to do so in the first place. (And also letting #2 sail right over their heads.)
This sort of thing (and @GirlCalledBlu and @Seraphim73 's banning of him based on his attitudes on Gray Harbor and Arx) makes me happy for the community.
I have always felt that the whole "well they haven't done anything here and until they misbehave within the bounds of the game we can't do anything" was absolutely ridiculous. As a community, we need to support each other across games; we all play in each others' games and staff for each other. We are, in effect, a community, and we don't just need to look out for each other, but also be willing to accept that when someone does something inappropriate to one of us, they don't get to just connect to another game and act as if it didn't happen.
@L-B-Heuschkel said in A bit of trouble on Firefly:
@Kestrel You've seen mine. Somebody asks, Richard Nixon picture it is. I have no idea why anyone would possibly think this is a good idea. I cannot imagine any time I'd want to send or receive one. There is no situation I can conceive of where this is a good idea.
I'm guessing it largely has to do with showing dominance, though. "Look, I just forced you into a sexual situation whether you liked it or not."
I mean, if the other person asks and there's consent from both parties, send a picture of whatever body part y'all want.
I enjoyed Altered Carbon season 2, but the criticisms above are valid. It also felt like the plot should have been season 3, not 2. It's like there's a middle there missing.

I really like missive.
I absolutely go into writing at some point. May have been in grade-school, probably around the time I discovered I liked mythology and legends, right around the time I started reading voraciously. I think I already had the storytelling drive, though, since that's essentially what I did when I played with my action figures before then.
Locke & Key is interesting, conceptually and in execution. Story development is well paced for me. Not done with it but enjoying this series.
I really liked the whole thing.
@Jaded man, that's... damn.
The plot is going to take however long it takes. Two things to consider:
If you do those two things and whatever you're running interests them, you don't really have an issue.
@TheOnceler said in Bad TV:
he lady characters aren't there just to give the guy characters something to do/avenge.
no, just there to be fake-bisexual.
Can you expand on this?
They wavered between whether Sara Lance (between her time on Arrow and LoT) was straight or lesbian or bi so much it really left a bad taste in my mouth.
I never saw them wavering. She was coded as straight at first and then she was coded as having sex with whoever she was with at the time, which was Oliver (again, for some reason) and Nyssa (for obvious reasons). But on Legends she's pretty clearly always been coded as bisexual, far as I could tell.

@Testament said in Dating in the 2020's:
I'm one of those weird examples where Tinder actually worked for me. I don't know how to explain it, but I managed to run into someone there was exactly who they said they were. Honesty on the internet, who would've expected that.
Happened to me, too, but with OkCupid. It just didn't last; but it was a good year and a half.
I dated very little in my twenties and hardly at all in my early thirties. It wasn't until I met my latest ex that I gave it a shot, and we met online.
I still care about her deeply and we talk every other day at least for a couple of minutes. But we weren't compatible in the long-run and we both realized it and accepted it.
My problem is that I am often in a mood where the amount of effort I have to put in to meet people (online, offline, same difference) is more than what I'm willing to put into it at the moment. Just the way it is.

@Coin Hellsing Abridged is the winner, though. It just is.
Nope. Sorry. I mean, it's by the same guys. But I prefer DBZ Abridged.
