A MUSH for special education students.

Well, uh, that's not a sentence I ever thought I'd read in any sort of MU pitch/advertisement. Jesus.

technically i'm not sure any of that qualified as a 'sentence'

my dude or robot or lady or nm or anything in between,
word salad. no one pays someone to write things that they can't read

booo RIP Jessica you skinny legend

what

I am medicated and still have a lot of musical thoughts.

Something I think some folks might be happy about, out of light of Anthem ceasing development.

Bioware will be making the next Dragon Age a single-player RPG, after originally planning for it to be a service game.

lol i didn't even know those dumb mfers were going to try it.

especially in the context where people were saying 'it is not my responsibility to let you know what my triggers are, it is your job to just deal with them'.

PEOPLE. What people? Where did they say this? Please quote or provide data point.

So, all that said, people are going to have their opinions but usually I think the concerns about being cast eternally into the darkness of Cancellation for a single misstep are taken pretty far. (It wasn't tasteless jokes that got Louis CK on a lot of people's shitlist, it was years of using his position of power to make women watch him masturbate.)

Reminder for context that Louis CK is not canceled. Despite everything he's done, he was greeted with a standing ovation when he returned to standup barely a year later, and he's currently in the middle of a sold-out international tour.

I mention this to explain why I have absolutely no patience with anyone who complains about being "canceled," because it never means what they pretend it means. It means they think they're so special it's unjust for them to suffer consequences when they spend a lifetime being shitty to people.

AMEN. He was NEVER canceled. After ten years of calling them liars, he admitted he might have goofed a little and then...took a year long vacation. He was still a millionaire. He still is. He returned to standup with a victim persona and got a standing ovation. He's still working in comedy. He's still a millionaire.

He might be dead to ME but he is 100% not canceled, and never was.

Yeah honestly the "this hamstrings creativity" arguments are laughable, to me. There's an 85% chance this applies to any person who reads this sentence: the creative significance of whatever thing you have set up is basically nil. It's probably not even that good a story. There's nothing sacrosanct about your 'vision'. Don't look for excuses to be a jerk.

Or look harder!

lol YIKES

@krmbm said in How to launch a MU*:

@wizz Just on the flipside of this: Some people (hi!) actively avoid the "sim" games.

Which brings us back to: build what you would enjoy. Not what you think other MUSHers will. We can't agree on a goddamn thing around here.

And if YOU don't enjoy it, but you try to make a thing just to 'appeal to a lot of players' or whatnot, you won't have the personal engagement and passion, and it will die anyway. Gamerunner engagement is key to keeping something going.

@ganymede said in Why are there so many MUs set in Maine?:

@aria

You can really avoid this sort of theme drift by creating a setting that you want and forbidding players from fucking with it.

It’s not too hard, but you have to be willing to say “no” and too few staff are willing to do this.

Oh! The other thread is not an indication of my feelings about this concept, btw. It's AU, and the size of the county is specified! This seems neat.

@bear_necessities said in Why are there so many MUs set in Maine?:

I guess the thing is like what does it matter? People complain there are too many small town games, too many east coast games, too many west coast games. Like. Its not hurting anybody you guys.

false, i am personally attacked by each and every small town setting

i have often wondered this. and yeah i think it's just. cold new england woods and foggy coasts and stuff. I just wondered this more when these small towns in Maine (and Maine is p much only small towns) have like fifteen strip clubs and opera houses and seventeen gang factions. If you want big city vibes, go for a place an actual big city is, or makes sense.

you look at someone in the eyes by focusing on one, or both, going back and forth (though not super fast, like a madperson.) I have never had any trouble with eye contact or addressing people, but that might be a quirk of anxiety for some people. Just not the way mine manifests.
