Volbeat just makes me think of Volibear, and then I want to play league of legends, and then I play league of legends, and I remember I suck at league of legends.

@ganymede Ok, and yet no one is addressing the tone Auspice took, both in that thread after defenses as to the relevance of that story were made, AND HERE. It's not ok to call people stupid because they didn't understand you were being a regular silencing ass instead of authority silencing ass.

Oh boy. I grew up in an extremely small, extremely white town in Texas. I went to church faithfully until my teenage years, at which point my family kind of melted down and I became the community pariah.

I was accused of witchcraft.

I was accused of being 'in league with the devil' and leading young men astray.

A non denominational evangelical preacher was once called in to BLESS and EXORCISE a room I had slept in, at a sleepover.

I was harrassed, bullied, and sabotaged by grown ass adults from ages 14 until I moved away.

As long as there are fringe Christians who choose to be insane, hateful, dark ages LARPers, there will be a strong averse reaction to those fringe splinters of the faith, because those views are not victimless. Like any faith, creed, or ethnicity, all youc an do is live your life showing you are not like that.

ETA: i was not actually in league with the devil. Just to be clear. If I HAD been, there'd be one less small town in Texas.

@auspice said in Regarding administration on MSB:

<NOT MOD VOICE>

If I have explicitly attacked a single person, I do apologize for that (and would like a reference to where I 'name and shame'd someone as it were). I have been doing my best to avoid such behavior.

I may attack ideas and behaviors, which is acceptable behavior on the boards (at this time), but I do understand that in some situations, a person may misconstrue 'Your behavior is wrong' as 'You are wrong and your entire existence is wrong' (or similar concepts).

Are you serious right now? This is ridiculous.

Look at your posts before this one. The ones I quoted. You didn't have to say a name to make it very clear you were referencing the people who questioned your survivor silencing. Can you not just say "Yeah, I was wrong?" It's a thing adults have to do, sometimes. Without couching it in "if" and "please show me where" like you're defending Ditko.

I very nicely decline free office food that isn't suitable for me. Or I pick the mushrooms off the free veggie pizza.

Honestly though my team rules, sometimes my manager just brings up an electric griddle and makes waffles, or grilled cheese sammiches, or monte cristos. There's a distinguished southern gent on the team who bakes a lot. We also have two guys who make chili regularly. I am rambling about my team with enthusiasm and affection in the RL anger thread, I'm sorry. I'll show myself out.

@ganymede can confirm. I've never had someone I talk to about these accusations show me a conflicting log. More often, they immediately so "Oh, about SO AND SO? No no, we're friends."

@faceless I know you weren't asking for advice at all but...if the lower paying job with the award winning employer culture won't put you in dire straits? That one, all the way. A company that respects work/life balance and takes care of employees is so, so nice to have.

All of them*. All my characters are amazing. I am a great roleplayer.

*except some Firan roster characters, wow.

Just put queso in my faceo forever

I have lost count of the times I have asked someone "do you think this is fun for <the other person involved>?" and gotten long, silent pauses, as if the question never even occurred to them.

We all are quick to say "THESE GAMES ARE PRETENDY FUN TIMES" when we are the ones being misunderstood. And so, so slow to remind ourselves of that when we feel we have been slighted in some way.

My company has added more comprehensive care for mental health to their insurance offerings, and partnered with a network to provide resources for mental health and counseling, etc, to employees. For a corporation, they really aren't so bad sometimes.

@auspice You hung out on Lou and kept saying you might be getting to a point soon where you could rp, finally! And then I'd see you on here talking about the four other games you were playing in. Note, that's not a criticism. If arx isn't engaging for a person, it isn't, and that is TOTALLY FINE.

That's the reason we never said anything at the time, even when we discussed activity with you. It's none of my business where someone chooses to spend their time, and I absolutely agree that Arx is a fast paced (too much so, help help) game where those who are more active and engaged are definitely going to get the joy of 'first discovery' on things. But there are new players who do come on and find places and grooves and things to do, and I think sometimes "this just didn't click for me because I was busy with other things" need not be conflated with "new people will never be able to find a place to fit in".

I really really really want to delete my facebook.

But it's the only way I have to log in to Love Nikki. I HAVE SPENT REAL MONEY ON THIS GAME SHUT UP. oh my god, life is so hard

@apos you have to take a Buzzfeed "which dog breed are you" quiz in your app.

Pyrs love snow!

@arkandel Logically no, not everyone "deserves" the spotlight equally, because not everyone puts in the same effort and enthusiasm into a game.

I think it's impossible to be equal in any sort of large game, unless you have an equally large staff of st, maybe? I do think it's a very good idea to make good-faith efforts to include in your game ways for anyone who wants to/is motivated to be involved or influence the story if there is one.

I am still struggling since my diagnosis. I am not really better at time management, or accomplishing things I need to get done, as I am old and changing behaviour and habits is hard and takes forever.

But.

It has helped me immensely to have a Neuroscience doctor tell me : You are not just lazy. Your brain is atypical.

I went through all the usual ADHD inattentive struggles, including the time my dad called me a 'worthless N-", and when I looked confused he clarified it had nothing to do with race. It was just what you called someone who was "lazy and worthless".

@vulgarkitten That is honestly mind boggling, I've never had anyone express that to me. If they did, I'd have the exact same reaction, probably with some more expletives. Like, it's not cute to pressure your rl SO for sex, why in the world would it ever be ok for a fake pretendy one?

My personal turning point is about the burden of entertainment. If I have a few scenes with a player and it's on me to set the scene AND keep it going AND shoehorn some direction into it each time, I will lose all interest. When "Let's RP" starts to sound like "entertain me the way I like", I dial out.

I mean if I'm being honest, when I'm VERY low I will stand by the fridge and eat a tortilla and a handful of grapes, or go to a drive through and get french fries.

I find myself a little put off by sexual interests and such in ooc formats. It feels..weirdly player intimate, to me. When I do TS, to be frank, it's not really about gratification for ME. It's about the characters. I'm fine with a quick "this is the level of language I'm comfortable with, this is a hard FTB point/event for me", etc, but like a browsable list of wants and less-wants is decidedly not my jam.
