If you set up a GoFundMe site, I'm sure you'll find people here that will help. Paying it forward is important.

@ominous

There aren’t enough products for a face such as that.

@raemira

I'm sorry about your kitty still.

@rucket

I have a task force together now. We are looking to open a new place first, then worry about porting stuff over. If I have to do it manually, so be it.

But we need a new place.

I'm sorry for the delay. RL continues to get busier and busier.

@arkandel said in Good TV:

Make Galadriel any race you want, dammit. Just find a great actress and write her to act like Galadriel, not Xena: Warrior Princess.

You take that back about Lucy Lawless, sir.

@TNP said in Changes to The Hog Pit:

It's another to do it just because a few people are morons.

Although it's probably fair to say that the recent idiocy was the catalyst for the change, there is likely a large population here that prefers not to get ripped to shreds for saying innocuous but ignorant things. And we do unintentionally dogpile with the ridicule at times.

@il-volpe said in Critters!:

But they spend all their XP on whatever stats it takes to dive headfirst down that long vertical tube and catch oneself from freefall at the chosen entry.

@lordbelh

I have missed you here and elsewhere. We may not have agreed on everything, but I strongly respect what you have said here about making an effort to correct mistakes rather than doubling down on them.

@rightmeow

I don't think you have anything to be sorry for and I cannot recall if or when you said anything particularly offensive to anyone. You've always been very good and consistent at communicating a message of kindness for all, and it is appreciated.

@doozer

The Hog Pit isn’t dead; it has been moved elsewhere.

@misadventure said in Random funny:

Its not far from this:

Best have tacos and tuna on hand.

@lotherio said in Alternative Formats to MU:

For creative writing, all the bells and whistles can effectively be ignored; +phones and coded vehicles are clutter in the way of RP.

I want to interject here.

Someone else has said it, but I've had the best RP by +phone or +text. It's all mildly hilarious. My interactions with @RizBunz (with Wes) and @skew (with Ripley) were on the right side of laugh-out-loud.

So, let's not go calling 'em clutter, man.

@hella

I am Canadian too, so I have to recommend Letterkenny as a prelude to Shoresy, seeing as how the latter is a spin-off of the former.

@sunny said in Alternative Formats to MU:

How is that related to her point?

Faraday picked up on it.

Of course if you want special, unique features you'll need a coder. That will always be true. But right now you need a coder even if you don't want special unique features, and that's silly.

And Apos did as well, sort of.

Yeah, I don't mean this as a slam on WoD at all, but it seems to me that a core reason for its popularity is the already existing softcode that can be plugged into it.

I concur with Apos, and sympathize with Faraday. My comment was, by no intent, a knock on what she's doing on her end. (I'm a Faraday fanboygrl.)

I have ideas. I always have ideas. But I lack the skills to turn those ideas into functional code. Yes, I could learn how to code, but that's a barrier due to time and personal responsibilities. So, for now, I must rely on a coder, or someone with enough proficiency to take Ares out of the box and make it work (chug chug chug). I love BSG:U and will continue to promote it, but what I want to do slightly differs in that I foresee the need for an entire block of other commands that don't exist yet (as far as I know).

That said, I want whatever project I have in mind to work with Ares. I think it, and Evennia, are the way of the future. I want to promote both.

But I still have a problem doing this myself. So the "do I have a coder" flowchart is still stapled to my ass. And I think that successful games need something unique to themselves, so there'll always be a need for a coder, no matter how much Faraday adds to the standard toolbox. If innovation will help the hobby flourish, then games will need coders to push that envelope. And, from a non-coder perspective, I think this is a fact that makes the "do I have a coder" flowchart a truism.

@rightmeow said in RL things I love:

I appreciate that you exist. I appreciate that you take space. I'm more than happy to share mine with you.

Well, cats, so --

@thatguythere said in Alternative Formats to MU:

I don't think telnet is a requirement for real time, but in the current MUSH environment things have drifted to the point where things move slower than I would like, I can't see how moving the way to play the game to a program that presents literally thousands of other things to do while RPing will not adversely affect response times. It is not a tech issue but a human behavior issue.

So, your complaint is about players, not the technology being discussed.

Got it.

@silverfox

I hope the motherfuckers who were setting fireworks in my street and then left their shit on the street all night get the joy of watching everything they love burn and scream in a fiery blaze.

For a nation who claims to live their troops, most people in my part of the country are assholes to PTSD-suffering veterans.

@insomniac7809

@silverfox

Sorry about that.

More relevant message: if y'all need something to help the fostering of humans or kittens, please let us know. Also, kitten pictures are always welcome. (Human pictures, not so much because of doxxing potential.)

@surreality said in MSB Peeves:

It wouldn't be so worthy of slamming my head into a wall if people went with an initial gut reaction, then considered whatever it is.

I concur.

I mean, I would love to eat the entirety of a Mongolian BBQ line, but I'd rather not shit myself.
