I definitely prefer mukluk over blowtorch. I can't see what I'm typing in blowtorch and that drives me nuts.

I put half the time, because for the last few years, any time I'm at work I'm on my kindle. On very, very rare occasion I log in from my phone, but purely out of necessity.

Do you include tablets under the same category?

@Cupcake

Very phallic.

Birthday! Today, I am the answer to the meaning of life?

Where's my striptease, @Ganymede?

Oldest brother called to wish me a happy birthday.

Oldest brother apparently does not understand the meaning of the words "do not speak to me unless the first words out of your mouth are "I'm sorry."

@Arkandel said in Coming Soon: Arx, After the Reckoning:

I would say at this point in the game there is great urgency based on rank (High Lords have a huge advantage) and soldier ability. The more you stray out of these two niches the least involved you can be in cool things.

I don't know if I agree with this? I can only speak from personal experience, but my character is neither a High Lord nor a combatant. Granted, she is well placed in society and has a lot of ears willing to listen to her, but a lot of my engagement in the game has come from her secrets, the written in desire for social justice of the character, and my own penchant for world building. There are quite a few pursuits to be found for people who are in neither of the above categories, but some effort on the player's part has to be included in that.

And you love it.

I should have reminded those entitled bitches sitting next to me while I saw A Cure For Wellness that a special place in hell is reserved for people who talk in the theater.

This may seem weird, hear me out. An acquaintance of mine who used to be part of the MUSH community is now amongst other things, a professional photographer. He's doing a series he's calling "MortalClay" involving people in portrait with various substances like clay and charcoal and powders on their body.

This one is particularly profound for me, though they're all beautiful:

It's a tasteful, artistic nude so your NSFW may vary.

The reason it is so profound for me is because for years I struggled with the notion of imperfection and beauty being able to be housed in the same skin, namely my own. For some reason this picture in particular cacked a barrier, even if only in a small way. I could picture myself in this woman's place without bitterness or irony, and realizing that was tear inducing.

Reposting this here, especially for those who might need some persuading but want to give Arx a go:

I'm earnestly looking for people to take on the husband and wife team of Thesarin and Mia Riven, Count and Countess of Twainfort. Aside from the personal badassery listed on their sheets, they come with:

• An awesome liege lord (c'est moi!)

• A county with basic outline of recent history and product export already in place but also easily expanded

• Vassal PCs already in play! Your household is waiting for you!

• Samantha already has jobs (translation: rp hooks!) to hand out to her vassals as soon as they're out of the gate!

• Quite possibly some of the easiest get started play you can hope to have, so by all means, check them out!

@Gingerlily Happily!

@Ghost

I kinda wanna make a trip out to the real world diner and have some pie. >.>

A co-worker of mine's husband actually works there on occasion.

Durrrr Cupcake is smart.

WTF is Book of Faces?

@Jaded See above, got that one.

Admittedly, Matilda's eyebrows were very distracting, and mostly with MK I couldn't believe how much he looked like a young Tyler Posey. But everything about the barons and the clipper structure were amazing. - that reminds me, I about flipped my shit when I saw someone at ECCC cosplaying Sonny.

@Coin said in MU Things I Love:

@Cupcake Heh. Rain.

I got that reference!
