Aww yissss.

haha. you think small hits of dopamine make us happy. Imagine being thirsty, all the time, and getting little sips of water.

... so you are being aroused? This is where the term "WAP" originated, right?

I got rid of Signior Montanto.

@Caggles

It’s a good thing that, when the alcohol is over, my lovers come to realize I’m lukewarm, bland, flat, and cheesy.

I don't know you, so this could be a totally unfair impression.

Science.

Specifically, the discovery of cryovolcanoes.

So cool.

right now, i'm banging my head against the bureaucratic nightmare that is the university of toronto.

I went to U.T.S. it seems a lifetime ago.

I know some people in the bureaucracy. I may be able to help.

@Auspice

Well, you could have been a dude and notice the opposite looking into your shorts.

@faraday said in Web portals and scenes and grids oh my!:

I could log into a TinyMUX game and get put off because there's never any RP to be had because everybody's off in their private apartments or RP rooms.

And this also puts me off. It's a problem on World of Darkness games, if you ask me.

@L-B-Heuschkel said in Web portals and scenes and grids oh my!:

ETA: I'm not actually a fan of asynchronous RP either. It's just that from my European timezone, it's the only choice I get -- Ares or not Ares. So Ares making it easier is definitely not a bad thing.

I play often during business hours EST and I can tell you that Arx has quite a bit of activity for Euro-Zone folks.

@faraday said in Web portals and scenes and grids oh my!:

There may be some additional cultural issues with the introduction of asynchronous RP, but but let's be honest - there were always some pitfalls in joining a scene.

While this may be true, there are players who don't care for asynchronous RP. I think Sunny and I fall into that category.

Arx permits asynchronous RP through flashbacks, but if those was the only kind of RP available I would not be playing there.

I have never done asynchronous RP on an Ares-based game and I don't intend to. If it appears that asynchronous RP is the only or most likely kind of RP I'm going to get, I'm not going to play there.

That's all.

I've got no problems with the Ares platform. I think it's great! I just don't like asynchronous RP, and I see it cropping up on Ares games more and more as the key to involvement in plots. I could be wrong but this is the impression I get.

And this is totally okay, I don't need to be part of or like everything.

@Sunny said in Web portals and scenes and grids oh my!:

eta: I honestly do not at all understand the INSISTENCE that a particular tool is good at all the jobs, rather than just the job that it was designed to do. It's NOT good at all the jobs, but it IS good at its job. It's not a criticism to say that you can't use your lawnmower to clean your effing pool!

Look, you clearly haven't tried hard enough with your lawnmower; if you just --

@Ominous said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

In Kentucky that is technically Menacing. You might have a hard time making it stick, though.

In Ohio, this is civil battery.

What's Virtually Nowhere?

Well, the first room of the game was called /DEV/NULL, so --

@WildBaboons said in Wheel of Time MU(SH|X):

The setting is so big and vast that trying to make wiki pages for everything would quickly become overwhelming. Where do you draw the line on the etc?

Hey, you choose fruit, you live with fruit.

I concur with karmabum, but I sympathize with the plight. When crafting together the wiki for my Mass Effect game that never got off the ground, I struggled with the same issue. But I think keeping everything in one spot is good because, if I'm not mistaken, you can link things in the Ares output window to the wiki you have, which allows a player to quickly jump to an important reference.

@Mr-Johnson

For a Shadowrun Super game, maybe something like "Virtually Nowhere"? Especially if there is a focus on decking.

@Sunny said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

Just because I choose not to argue with you about this does not mean that I think that you're right. So that we are perfectly clear, here.

@Sunny said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

You are allowed to be human! Cut your brain some slack! This pandemic shit is traumatic.

I concur.

I, however, am not so allowed.

@tek

I concur with Ominous, but you may be able to get a pass on the GRE if you've been working for a while or have another professional degree or certification. E.g., I got into a graduate program for economics with zero background in economics and no GRE because I had my J.D.

@insomniac7809 said in The ADD/ADHD Thread (cont'd from Peeves):

Google the ingredients you have. Pick the first/highest-reviewed thing that pops up. Cook it.

Chopped is a constant source of inspiration for me. Today, I used some vegetables from a tray -- carrot sticks, celery sticks, pepper sticks, grape tomatoes -- and diced them with some onions to make a nice ragout, with some old chili. Added some garlic powder, Tony Chatchere's creole seasoning, salt, and pepper. Tossed in some Papa John's garlic dipping sauce and some olive oil for the base.
