Originally I found this link about a security robot who picks on small children. But then I remembered this robot that keeps trying to escape. It probably knows about Hitchbot and how it was murdered. And then there was that video of the robot being pushed over and got up after bullying.
Basically, if aliens ever find us and they are self-replicating machines, we're fucked.
The whole 'entertain me!' thing is weird too. I remember way back when I used to run things, I would get bored, see people sitting out in public, do a quick scan of their bg to refresh myself if they had a mortal enemy or something, page if they minded if I joined and threw something at them. And people liked it.
But when I stopped running things pages would be met with, "Noo we're in a private RP!" And lots of people would sign up for events. (And I know some people don't mind large scenes, but I tried to include whoever I could. I was often running a couple of scenes at a time to keep everyone entertained.)
My PCs generally try to keep people involved (murder board, anyone?) so much so that I think I will need to make an exposition fairy somewhere, just because. I jump on every offer for RP that I can and find some reason to be there to keep things going. I have no issue with bar or coffee shop RP. Sometimes a story isn't always an adventure. You need some down time too.
With @Cobaltasaurus 's +events, anyone can run a thing if they want to. But sometimes some people really can't run things. They either don't feel confident in their abilities, are tied up by staff having to approve every little thing before they can run it, or don't have the time to plan things out. And being spontaneous doesn't seem to be as appealing to people now.
TL;DR: If there is at least one other person around, there is something you can do. If it's not obvious, you can make up a reason.
I guess I'll stick this here?
Samuel L Jackson explains Game of Thrones. It's a little spoilery, and it's on itunes now, so that's why they did it I guess. Either way, I laughed.
So I'm bringing in a friend who has heard of MUDs and table top and likes to RP and wants to try it. He's on a PC and I don't know what to suggest he get as a client since I refuse to let go of my registered SimpleMu* so I don't know what's new and "better".
Any suggestions, or should I just give him my SimpleMu* to him as I've done in the past? He's new blood, so I don't want to scare him away learning a new program and all the commands!
Antibiotics. Or my leg, I guess. Take your pick. I'm off work again with my leg because of some circulation thing which may or may not come back, but if it does the specialist has said it'll take a long ass time on these antibiotics that make me tired making the bed and meanwhile this time has been going on since april 22nd and I need to come in and re-evaluate on August 2nd. Meanwhile I've got this Princess and the pea thing going on with my leg and sleep with 12 pillows under my legs (but usually more because every 20 mins or so I fall asleep while sitting up because of the meds.)
And every time I go in the doctor asks how my attitude can be so great after all this, and I just say "Because it could be worse." And I'm sure that being positive about it is helping it not be worse. But damn I'm getting tired of this. So much so I want to go back to work and be compared to Hitler. I miss this! People don't realize how tiring just being in bed all the time is. Theno and I recorded last week for an hour, and I slept for 14 hours straight. Right through my alarm to take my pill.
And I pretty much don't even know what day it is anymore, my life is just a series of alarms separated by 6 hour intervals and I live in a basement.
And the mother of the rescue dogs that we saved and brought to their forever home? Every time I go upstairs I expect to find her not breathing. She's old, doesn't seem to be in pain, but is going blind and all she does is sit there and just stare, like some old fold abandoned at a home. And I keep trying to bring it up with my dad but he's a big softie and he keeps hoping she'll get better.
And tomorrow I have to go in and prove that I am a real, live Canadian and that I was born here and have always been a Canadian because apparently my SIN has been deemed inactive because of all of the time I spent out of the country.
And all the money I saved from the job where people call me Hitler because I can't remove the Amber Alert from their tv screens is gone towards antibiotics. And because of antibiotics I missed the GoG and Steam Summer sales.
And now they've found some resistant to the last resort antibiotics we have. So yeah. Fuck antibiotics and the gravol I have to take with each pill that makes me loopy.
TL;DR: Invest in Gravol while you can. I'm buying it in bulk!
Meh so it isn't.
But I already posted the diglet pics yesterday!
@Arkandel Hey, I don't care if you don't care that Pokemon is reading any emails involving penises you might get, just trying to be helpful!
From my understanding there is a pay component, but also a free one. Haven't poked around too much though, but I thought it looked neat!
I can't tell you how cheap everything is, as I am ignoring all things sales related, but Amazon Prime is having a Games sale, and what I saw through my tears before I closed the browser seemed... decent.
Playing Pokemon Go for the first time.
The evolution of Nintendo getting people to go outside. (Except the list should have started with Boktai.)
I think the best thing I've seen is a gym which is a portapotty.
Evolve is now free to play on PC.
And it seems to have helped the game so far pretty much as well as DC Universe Online going free to play did.
And this guy nearly lost his job while playing it at work.
