THE UNHOLY LEGIONS SEEK YOU.
Do you like darkness? Do you like blood magic? Do you like insanity?
If so, come to this game. This game right here. I'm looking for a few folks that want to play dirty, dirty Acolytes. Specifically, Nosferatu Acolytes. With Malkavia.
Come by. I have ideas. You can find me there as Wes.
Maybe I should look into a nose job or xanax.
If your lack of sleep is affecting your ability to lose weight, you may be able to get a doctor to sign off on a sleep study. This may be an important step in figuring out what's causing you to not sleep well, even if you're super-anxious.
Lack of sleep will mean elevated cortisol levels, and a whole lot of other bad shit. So, your first step to weight loss may be getting that sleep study. If your doctor won't send you that way, you should find another doctor.

(Hilariously, the week on that I had huge amounts of bacon daily I lost 12 pounds and it stayed off for six months... somebody has to explain that shit to me because seriously that's freaky.)
New studies are showing that animal fat isn't all bad for you. If you're not used to eating tons of meat, bacon can sit in your stomach for a while, making you feel fuller. Lots of potential reasons.
@Lord-Renegade said in Plots for Spheres:
My problem comes when staff has this "grand vision" and any player diversion from said vision is ignored, or otherwise discounted. Akin to writing a book rather than actually building a story with the players one is leading.
There's two kinds of railroading: (1) where there is a definite, express, or obvious sequence of events to the story; and (2) where the storyteller shuts down any method or tactic that does not lead to the desired outcome.
It's the difference between having to take out a squad of bad guys to get to the goal, and where the GM has put you in a narrow corridor that forces you to open a single door and confront the squad head-on.

... don't stare at the sleeve?
@Auspice said in RL things I love:
To balance out the 'still having migraines,' I found out at the Dr's that I passed my last weight plateau. Been stuck at a specific spot for a few months now and weighed in at 5lbs under that previous.
If you cut off your head, you could solve both problems!
I'm kidding. Don't cut your head off.
While AP might discourage you from sharing clues, it does encourage folks to recruit new PCs to their faction. This is how I got in at RfK: by being a peon that did what he was told. And eventually, by outlasting everyone else, my peon became more and more important.
This really is the best ad I've seen in a while.
I played on RfK, but I'm pretty sure Ricardo wasn't there when I was.
I played Cai.
So, Muay Thai is the new levels in Martial Arts? And Clinching is the new levels in Grappling?

Then let us proceed.
I guess this must mean I have to pull out my Techno Guide.
@Coin said in RL things I love:
I love love LOVE punk rock covers of pop/oldies. So you KNOW that Me First and the Gimme Gimmes are basically my idols.
You'd better.
I had a lot of covers linked to Clarice's wiki page at the Reach. Unfortunately, the wiki is down.
All true.
Speaking of covers, this song.
I've had some time to process FF XV and its ending, and I've decided it is really good. Really, really good. You get what you put into the game, and although I wasted five fucking hours trying to catch a murk grouper, the plot, the gameplay -- everything -- is pretty stellar. I found myself not really caring that I plowed through the game quite easily -- I didn't master a lot of the subtle, strategic play -- and found myself aching to get through the final 4 chapters. Which means I have to go back and complete some shit, like getting a brontosaurus haunch (I shit you not).
@Coin said in RL things I love:
But then you have awesome stuff like this heavy metal cover of Boombastic, which is amazing.
I love good covers.
@Jennkryst said in Technocracy!:
Just RP on the ship and during our self-contained plots. PROBLEM SOLVED.
Truth.
Autumn knows where and how to find me. I call dibs on being the Chaplain.
"Burn the heretic. Kill the mutant. Purge the unclean."
Darling, I would be there in a second, but this is City of Hope we're talking about.
@Bobotron said in Game Concept: Paying for rare things:
This isn't about ridiculing a concept for 'speshul snowflakeness'. It's about finding another way to allow something that is problematic, or should be rare, in a different way than an application, a cap, or staff fiat. It gives player agency to the choices they make. Sure, everyone on the game might go OKAY I WILL BE JEDI AT 6 POINTS or somesuch, but the THEORY behind it is sound, as many of us have witnessed first-hand. It could be applied to the Jedi issue in SW to help alleviate some of the above insanity.
This argument presumes any insanity on an SW game if people are given the freedom to choose.
This argument also presumes that a larger occurrence of purportedly rare concepts is problematic.
I understand the system and how it is calculated to work. I'm arguing that there was never a problem to begin with that needed to be addressed with system modification.
@Ghost said in Superhero Games: Quest For Villain PCs:
Then again, it's kinda the perfect name for a gay porn actor.
Well, it seems to be okay for a gay comedian and radio host, so why not?
