Maybe I don't want to visit y'all in Ohio.

I had two double gin-and-tonics and a shot of whiskey last night for $15. And then sang some karaoke.

You sure you don't want to come visit?

Discovering that at least one of my co-workers is a pro-Trump, anti-immigration, men's rights activist means I'm not even sure I'm going to be able to look at him, much less talk to him.

Wait till he finds out that you roleplay Fae Creatures online on Unix boxes.

I love my fiance. I wouldn't have been with him for 16 years if I didn't. But god damn if I don't hate a lot of his friends, which makes me happy we have separate circles of friends. One friend in particular, who has to make a nasty or inappropriate joke at/about everything, I fucking hate hanging out with him

LARPers are, yet again, getting on my nerves. I love my group, but this is the first time EVER, outside of the clusterfuck that is the Mind's Eye Soceity, that I've been bombarded with so many 'if, then' rules questions that are clearly laid out in the book. Read the rules for Dominate. Read the rules for Auspex. Read the rules for Obtenebration. It clearly explains what I just explained to you. No you can't use Auspex to get around Fighting Blind; it doesn't say in Auspex you can, therefor you can't. You can't be 'blind and deaf' through tearing out your eyes and ripping off your ears and expect to function normally.

I used to LARP VtM/Wolf/etc back in the day (enhhhh 17 years ago?). When I stopped LARPing, I found I couldn't hang around 90% of the LARPers I knew. Aside from the fact that very many of them all worked 20 hours per week at sandwich shops while living 12+ people to a house with bedbugs, being around them pretty much went like this:

• Nonstop chatter about LARP
• Nonstop chatter about LARP RULES
• Nonstop requests for me to start LARPing again
• "Hey, can I have a ride?"
• "Can I borrow money?"
• Unable to hang out because 1st and 3rd Fridays were Vampire LARP, 2nd and 4th Fridays were Werewolf LARP, 1st and 3rd Saturdays were VtM tabletop, and 2nd and 4th Saturdays were Changeling LARP
• WHY SO AND SO AT LARP #3 IS A DICK

I could go on, but really, for a lot of LARPers I've met, it's both their primary form of entertianment and social life. For some of them, it's been that way since high school. I learned that when I stepped away from that social circle, just how alien being outside of those social circles felt.

I had little in common with them, anymore, since I moved away from that obsessive focus, got a woman, got a kid, got a career, went on vacations, etc.

Edit/Afterthought: I also learned that LARP is devastating on the social skills of awkward teenagers who learned to come out of their shells by roleplaying as leather pants vampires. Some of them take those social skills out of LARP, translate them into social skills outside of LARP, and suddenly everything is tactical. Man, the shit I hear and the amount of fucking around and cheating I still hear about outside of game. Them fuckers learned some manipulative shit.

@HelloProject Love and Peace. You're alright.

@Ganymede Aggressive/Aggressive is fun and cathartic

If u use PS4 and have F13, PM me, @Ganymede

@Jaded additional development is on the way, and it's a really fun game if you get a group of friends to play.

F13 uses P2P to run games but has no construct at the moment for reinitializing with a new host if the host leaves.

In FOR HONOR, if the host leaves, the game just finds the next suitable host in match, pauses the match, then resumes after reinitializing.

In F13, the game needs a HOST and a Jason. If the host disconnects, the whole game dies and no one gets xp. If Jason disconnects(and isnt the host), all of the counselors are informed they survived the night and get their xp.

Answer: update P2P to include reinitialization. May be more difficult than it sounds.

Goddamn you, Friday the 13th.

Ill play 10 rounds in a row as a counselor with no connection issues, but then I will be doing SO FUCKING WELL as Jason, kill the guy who is hosting the match, and then suspiciously, the host disconnects and I don't get my xp.

@Packrat said in Lords and Ladies Game:

Apparently I do it wrong then, none of the characters I played on Arx ever ducked anyone, I figured that even if here was no social stigma to sexy times it would make any eventual political match come across as much more convincing and effective an alliance if they got the impression they were special, etc.

My name is @Packrat of House HOUSENAME and I'm fucking NO ONE, but I'm supposed to be fucking WHOEVER MY DAD TELLS ME TO.

You can update your character post-political marriage.

No offense to the people who like the L&L games, but this thought came to my head:

LORDS AND LADIES CHARACTER SHEET:

INSTRUCTIONS: Fill in the blanks, then you're ready to go.

My name is __________ of House ________ and I'm fucking __________, but I'm supposed to be fucking __________.

I have a fidget spinner in the shape of a batarang.

I am done for.

@Ganymede said in RL Anger:

I only have sex with extremely hot women, but I don't really give a fuck what they think about me.

Me too! Only difference is that I only care what they think about me if they think I'm awesome, because my 5 star rating is important.

If they think I'm 4 stars or less, then they just bein all uppity cuz I don't kiss em on the mouth

#SthrnGentlemn

But what if I validate myself through being really great at something, and draw self esteem from pointing out to other people how I'm better than them???? So I study and research ways to do things the right way and, over time, begin to believe that anything less than what I believe is technically kind of cruel?? Kind of like how these kitchen counters are FILTHY AS FUCK and if you don't go over them with a fresh new store bought sponge (counter clockwise scrubbing every time) and the right version of 409, you're infecting your house and everyone you love and its NOT FUCKING CLEAN GOD DAMNIT ITS NOT FUCKING CLEAN. So I think to myself, if I love my dog, then my dog should have standards. You have standards, don't you? If you eat filet mignon then doesn't your four legged baby deserve just as much? Would you shit in a box? NO, which is why when it comes to cats the only acceptable answer is this custom litter box I sell on etsy for 125.99 and don't you tell me that I'm off base because I NEED THIS GOD DAMNIT.

Or they're just yet another American asshole who thinks they have the right to shame random strangers for not doing everything their way.

@Cupcake don't let these birches sorority bully you. Just be like "I have another arrangement. Have a nice day." and bail. You owe them nothing.

This. Precisely. It's snobbery. It's the concept that an alleged good dog owner meets a shitload of criteria and approaches dog ownership with all of the time and energy of raising their own child.

So, if you can't afford to pay $10 to cut a dog's nails, then fuck you negligent dog owner. I assure you she was thinking more about the dog, but being no different about it than any other pushy person because dogs should not suffer your economics or some shit.

Social dominance and supremacy, yo
