There was a multi-verse game where people from various media characters wound up in a city and everyone had a patron who was a bird. The bird spirits were like gods and could grant magic and favors.

Does anyone remember this game?

The super cute Jewish guy at work thought I was 30. He's 27, so I kinda maybe think he might have regarded me with some interest in y'know, that way.

He does know how old I am now, which is to say, could have viably been his teen mom, but he only laughed and said that in my heart, I'm clearly 30.

I'm gonna ride these good feels for while.

@mietze Obviously it's because your Body Thetans are out of whack and that's why you don't "get it".

@saosmash Right? I try not to get interested in people if it's viable that I could have been their teenage mom.

A show I discovered on Netflix; Greenhouse Academy. It is based on an Israeli young adult show of the same name (only y'know, in Hebrew) but is an English language/mostly American cast version. They actually filmed the updated version in Tel Aviv, with Israel standing in for LA, with a few of the main cast being Israelis with really good American accents, and more than a few supporting characters not-quite-right American accents - it's kind of like if you've got the ear and watch shows produced in New Zealand, you can sort of tell how a Kiwi sounds when trying to do a 'flat' American accent.

It reminds me a lot of Tower Prep. Some of the acting and present are a bit over the top/young adult Teen Nick, but the storyline is pretty interesting: The teen children of a female astronaut who died in a shuttle crash end up going to their mother's alma mater, a very exclusive high school known as Greenhouse Academy. The school is divided into two teams/Houses, the Ravens, which focus primarily on arts, science, and intelligence oriented skill, and the Eagles, who emphasize physical skills (there's some crossover in talent, etc.) There's a whole conspiracy going on with the reason the kids' mother died going on behind the scenes, the leadership training the kids are going through, along with the usual romance and teenage angst foo going on.

I met a new employee at my job that basically hits all of my yes buttons.

He's tall, has a deep voice, sarcastic, smart, good looking as hell, JEWISH, and in fact knows conversational Hebrew.

He is also moving to Israel in a few months. And fifteen years my junior.

GODDAMMIT.

@olsson I don't think anyone has managed the gravitas that you brought to Gabriel since. I wish your timezones weren't an issue, he and Sam had such a great relationship, and I have frequently enjoyed her realization that she has effectively married her foster dad.

Olivia @Darkwater. She is probably the WoD character I am most proud of. Completely uninhibited, she was nobody's first choice for Spring Monarch, and yet when she was Crowned, the freehold's number of oathsworn rose dramatically, and then when her second season came around, the number sworn to the freehold was again higher than any other season. She wanted the Crown because she wanted to serve, and I've never quite been able to capture her essence again.

Ygraine @BSO. Another free spirit, Yggy was a tall, freckled, blonde braided farm girl who became the best damn ECO (fite me) on Orion, who often ended up giving people life advice. She was so insanely adorable - genuinely so, rather than being annoyingly cloying, and was given a LipWobble skill of 10 by staff. She took no shit, had a stash of condoms she used for trading goods, had inappropriate relationships and appropriate ones, and took about a year to a year and a half to get around to being with the fella who arguably would be the one the fans fanatically shipped her with if Orion was a tv show. (Other players shipped them. It was hilarious). Attacked by wolves, threw up after being forced to pilot a raptor, and one of the first to pull a gun on a skinjob. Epic.

Umai @St. Petersburg and HM. Gentle and loving and kind and a phenomenal chef. Had an /amazing/ cabal on St. Petersburg and I was incredibly sad when the game closed. Umai on HM became a Spirit Master that even the Uratha were willing to work with. I never felt like she accomplished nearly as much as she could have, but by the end of things she'd created at least one Level 5 Talisman and that's something, yeah?

@arkandel That's interesting - and I don't mean that in a sarcastic way - because my response was the opposite, I thought the second season was better than the first. Javier Grillo-Marxuach ended up joining as a writer producer, and they added one of my favorite underrated actresses to the cast.

I'm in the finaltwo four hours of the online LulaRoe pop up I'm hosting on facebook. If anyone wants in, PM me and I'll get you added to the comm so you can look at the gallery of clothes. (You can unjoin easy if you don't see anything you like.)

@ixokai Not speaking for anyone else, but I as a player would want to avoid someone who was interested in playing that kind of trope on a game I participate on. That's creepy as fuck, and distinctly unfunny to those of us who have suffered sexual assault.

I know I posted earlier, but I realized that I could boil it down to a simple decision maker:

If I feel, for any reason, that the game is unhealthy for me, I will leave.

This includes if the game is making me unhappy, if the idea of logging in makes feel dread (but weirdly I log in anyway). Which to be clear, does not mean "my character suffering consequences".

The Neil DeGrasse-Tyson accusation is heart-breaking on all counts.

Everything about Valerian was beautiful...except the chemistry between the two main characters.

@bobotron said in Good or New Movies Review:

@arkandel
Wonder Woman's sequel is pretty assured; they even got rid of Brett Ratner because of the sexual harassment stuff going on.

And because Gal Gadot flat out said she won't do it if he's involved.

Fairness is important. If I feel that staff is being unfair to a level that I cannot tolerate, I leave.

Feeling safe is important. If staff kanyeshrugs the fact that I don't feel safe, I leave.

Sometimes things don't work out how I want to in RP. In this case, sometimes I leave, and sometimes I don't. I'm aware that it may be percieved as selfish, but I also accept the consequences of choosing to remove myself and understand that it means staff will likely do as they like with my character for good or ill.

If there's just no RP to be had, or I'm just not situating comfortably, I will probably leave.
