@Auspice There's a reason people get stuck on the third shift.

Some work it because they prefer it. Most? Most work it because they aren't allowed on a more important shift.

@Sparks Oh that makes sense. I started with the Merchant, so I suppose that was easy mode?

@Sparks When does it get hard? I haven't had any difficulty whatsoever yet and I'm a few hours in.

@Auspice I couldn't afford the one I bought, but I bought it anyways. And got Octopath Traveler on it, too. Which is pretty good.

@Auspice You're getting a Switch? I got one last week myself! (Mainly for Dragon Quest Builder 2, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and Super Mario Maker 2)

Hahahahahahaha... no.

That game's staff have some serious bad mojo going on.

Well, alright. So my apartment is empty for the first time in two and a half years or so. Just me. And I am starting to have those same dark thoughts I had back then. I don't have a lot of tethers in my life so losing them is not good for me.

I just want to get by until my move in a few weeks. Losing access to the roommate's dog has me spiraling a bit though so we will see.

@Jennkryst Both splits? There's more than one? Dear lord.

My peeve is: Being the sort of person who has a complaint about their life all written up but deleting it instead because I don't want to burden others with it even though that's what the thread is for.

@Testament Kojima is the Wes Anderson of video games.

...that is not a compliment. Wes Anderson is terrible.

@Arkandel Clint Eastwood as an aging Bruce Wayne would put a gun in his hand and have him talk to chairs.

@Sparks That sounds awesome. I haven't had a chance to GM in ages and I've been itching to find a place to run stories for people. I'm happy for you and your players.

Welp, Mordhau is already done. In that short amount of time, the game has been overrun with people spamming hateful, racist, nazi bullshit in the chat and votekicking anyone who complains. It's just... a real mess. Someone must have advertised the game on T_D or 4chan.

So to those of you considering getting it, I advise against it.

@Derp It's a long, fucked up story. From HM. May Loki and Koi shit themselves daily.

If I have a problem with someone's portrayal of something I ask them directly what their intentions are. More often than not, they'll have no idea that their portrayal came off as insensitive.

The exception being the ones that are insanely, grossly, obviously offensive for the sake of caricature. I ran into a skeezy black crack-whore named 'LaQueefa' on a game for instance. -Fuck that shit-. If staff won't remove that kind of shit from the grid I won't play there. (And I don't anymore.)

I had a favorite character that was taken from me due to some really hinky, cheaty shenanigans and when I tried to remake him it just felt... wrong. It brought back too many bad memories.

So fuck you to the guy who 'fired a warning shot' into the unconscious person you didn't recognize while they were being carried by others.

I sincerely hope, even after all this time, that your life is as shitty as your actions in-game suggest.

@Arkandel Fuck me, I wish I did. I do hate writing descriptions.

I've never recycled a character. Names? Sometimes. But I don't even recall re-using the same PB.

That being said, it isn't because I think I am 'cooler' or 'better' than people who recycle characters. Hell, I envy them. It's mainly because I don't keep copies of any character info, logs, or any information about them anywhere.

Plus I really do love the act of creating characters. I restart single player RPGs constantly to make new characters. Putting all the pieces together is my favorite part.

@Lotherio That is a very slippery slope.

What if I don't want to see people with my RL profession? Or people with my RL disabilities? Or with my RL anything. We can't start denying people their characters based on our own personal hangups. I see people misplaying specific stuff I do -all the time-. I roll with it. Unless it's an offensive racial stereotype or something we need to just trust our fellow players to show respect to their own character concepts.

I will guarantee you that the person you see playing a PTSD vet has put a lot more thought into their character than you have into their character. And if you do see someone behaving in an obnoxious, offensive way? Politely inform them. Educate them.

For instance. I didn't know 'panface' was a racial slur. I used it. My roommate corrected and informed me and now I never use that term anymore. Trust people on games a little more.

Any restriction based on disabilities is cringe-worthy as fuck. You can say 'We want fewer outsiders/fewer of this profession/fewer of this archetype' but when you start designating that people can't have X or Y disability that's some nonsense. What happens if someone loses a limb on grid? What happens if someone apps onto the game who has that disability and prefers to play their characters with it?

Meh. It's just cringy.
