This is why when I have been asked on Arx what we 'need', I just tell the player to pick something that sounds fun. I don't like that question because it feels like it comes with an expectation that RP is just going to drop in that player's lap if they choose this specific role. Also, most of the time, I don't know the player in question at all and I don't feel comfortable playing a guessing game to see what they might find fun because, almost inevitably, if they don't find what they are looking for with my suggestion, they are going to blame me for not giving them the right hook rather than admit that they need to choose for themselves and stop making their fun my responsibility. I offer opportunities for fun, not guarantees.

Chrono Cross remaster wut wut?!?!

All I've heard is rumors but apparently NVIDIA had a leak and the leak implied that SE might be working on this. The THOUGHT is spectacular.

I just hope they release it on Steam too because I am here for this.

Charlotte’s Web. It was the first book that ever made me cry. Also, Jane Eyre.

@Sunny This is it exactly. I don’t share well!

I’m not.

Job hunting in a pandemic. The rejection has been brutal.

That event was so creepy. So. Creepy.

I loved it.

Edited to add: I was a part of one of @Darinelle's Halloween scenes a couple of years ago. My character ended up with a creepy, look-alike doll and a broken arm that didn't heal for like 6 IC months. So, HAVE FUN.

I am so down for this. I have a couple projects that need some love.

@RightMeow Look, even if I killed your character, I would make you -enjoy- dying.

@Kanye-Qwest I just got rid of all of my physical books a couple months ago. I was really worried that I would regret it, but I almost exclusively read off of a device. My books were just collecting dust (the dust was becoming a huge issue for my asthma problems) and I've been able to hang cool art in the spaces where I had huge floor to ceiling bookshelves. I think I kept about half a dozen physical books that were sentimental more than anything. It was absolutely freeing and I can breathe so much better in my house.

@il-volpe Letting that much free meat fall into the ocean is just wasteful.

@Wretched It sucks because at this point, I have now internalized the guilt over forgetting things because I’m so used to being made to feel guilty over it. So even when people do understand, I have to apologize repeatedly because it’s just conditioning at this point. So that’s fun.

@saosmash Too soon.

Eleyna is thicc af. I love it.

@il-volpe Boy. I can't think why GMs aren't falling over themselves to make story for you.

@ganymede Except by breaking those basic principles, they are creating an artificial bubble in the price of property that is already starting to have a chain effect on the economy, exacerbated by Covid. If this continues, the 2008 housing bubble burst is going to look like a joke as compared to what we are potentially looking at when this bubble pops because it will. They always do. The principles are there for a reason and it isn't just to make money, it is to protect the economy and investors from those who act unscrupulously or just out of basic greed and stupidity.

My character does not hit on Luca. Because they are related. Sadness.
