@admiral said in I owe a lot of people some apologies.:
I care about the hobby and enjoy it just fine. You people freaking out about 'zomg so and so said mean things about me!' is what I am mocking. You're all being ridiculous.
No one is freaking out. People are discussing apologies and the impetus thereof. No, it isn't about you. I know that can be disappointing.
Kevin Spacey, Ben Affleck, Casey Affleck, Louis CK....that last one hurts me. I was a HUGE fan for years.
I forgive people on and off line when they take responsibility and show dedication to change.
How often that happens is /shrug
@three-eyed-crow said in Constructive (keyword) Criticism of Arx Systems:
Can't staff make it clear this isn't cool and punish people who do it when they are reported?
So we could. We tried that. And yet we still heard all the time that it was happening, and the people who DID want fashion felt bad enough that they might be keeping someone from getting THE BEST ARMOR to help the House that they wouldn't even ask, or - and this is the worst part - it was just accepted as the Way Things Were and that's the culture that was spread where staff wasn't aware of it.
@saosmash said in Tools, and not just Beiber.:
I hate OOC rooms. I find them spammy and overwhelming and difficult to break into. It's like being an introvert trapped in a permanent party full of people I only vaguely know.
I have no idea why channels feel so much less intrusive to me, but they really, really do.
I don't have data on this, obviously, but if people are idling on grid and someone wanders up and poses at them, it seems like a 50/50 they might say screw it and pose back and get into an rp scene. If they are in an ooc room, there's no chance of that. Also I had really horrible experiences in ooc rooms on other games that I do not have in channels, though this might admittedly be because A. i am a staffer on mostly all the games I log in to so I am the boss of channels and B. you can leave a channel!
@misadventure said in criticism not allowed in ad threads is only enforcing a false positive, prove me wrong:
@apos I can confirm there are several people, myself included, who no longer find it productive to even mention criticisms about games you and Hellfrog are involved in. Those players either attempt to avoid your attention or opt not to play games you have significant say in.
Is that something you should consider?

RE: The VASpider Thread
Maybe Spider could help at Arx, and then we'd see if she and HF are similar.
lol nah, not really. If you feel there's no point to your criticisms feel free to save em.
Black Panther was fantastic. Awful villain that was still sympathetic, great visuals, great fights, great music, great female characters having great lines and moments, and Angela Basset is a beautiful goddess like wtf isn't she almost 60 or something how

PHB (Psycho House-Beast)
Here's a term that should go back to the 90s. And then the 90s should go to jail.
@deadculture said in Book Recommendations:
@kanye-qwest Is that the crazy magician professor?
Yes. He and the uh, girl loan shark were the only characters I really liked.
@arkandel Probably a book will be released as the last star fades out.
As for GRR dying, I wouldn't personally care at all if ASOIAF never got finished, but this made me think 'what if they got Brandon Sanderson to finish this, too?" and then I laughed. What a tonal shift that would be.
Nice is different than good.

is there a right way to be a lesbian?? damn. Is there a right way to be mostly staight but also bisexual but not biromantic but also kind of whatever about people in general??
No one told me.
@Pandora said in MU Things I Love:
Games where what you do is important and your surname isn't. Games where time is relevant. Games where your titles are earned. Games where your writing skill carries more weight than who you're boning.
what game is this?? it sounds magical
@three-eyed-crow said in Good TV:
I LOVE THE GOOD PLACE SO MUCH.
I may be the only thing here that thinks that The Good Place is about as entertaining, novel, or enjoyable as I Heart Huckabees.
yes, that's only you, and may god have mercy on your soul
Feel your feelings! But at the end of the day, staff/storytellers are the custodians of the world and the story, and if they want to put a limit on the # of amputees, I figure it's because they have a high level overview and don't want new players coming in to be like "whoah, is this game haunted by npc goblins who come at night and consume limbs?"
i still get random kudos on my AO3 fic i haven't updated in months and feel vaguely guilty
