@auspice Texas seems to have more requirements for Medicaid than the states I've lived (gotta love how simply being hella poor isn't enough), but you might want to look into it if money is really tight. Who knows? You might qualify.

@auspice I haven't watched any of the videos yet but plan to after some sleep: https://www.youtube.com/user/yinsights1

@auspice I have no advice, and I find words of encouragement and suggestions for action never help me when I am stuck where it sounds you are.

I hope someone else in the community is in a position to help you find options that you can implement to get some relief.

I'm still gonna leave this gift-wrapped hug, here, in case you might want to wear it for a while, right next to this jar of best wishes.

Yeah. It's so cringeworthy that I actually went back to take a screen capture.

Sex : Yup. You gotta pick one! For the mentally delayed players, pick between Male and Female.

That blurb is so uncool on so many levels.

This one depresses me a bit. So did Prince and MCA. When Lemmy died, I was surprised to not have been more bummed, but the thought that he was bedding all the virgins promised to Jihadists in the afterlife trumped any sadness over his passing.

Plunder the booty that is your anus Uranus. (Sorry, not sorry.)

I'm absolutely re-watching Kickboxer before the end of the week.

Alas, no. I wanted so badly to love it and ended up so bored that I didn't even finish episode one.

@Cupcake I'm definitely wincing and I hope that you feel better soon. I also strongly urge you to get an MRI. X-rays often miss things.

If I could log, set triggers and highlights, and a few other bits and bobs that I can in a client, I'd have no problem switching.

@GangOfDolls You can CG your own character. Staff will even set a metaplot secret. Some roster characters have been played for a long while. Some have changed hands. Some were shelved and yet to be picked up. Some have yet to be played at all. Some were killed.

It really helps to find an org you like and players you get along with. Some are definitely more chill and less drama than others. Sometimes you IC connect with people and the OOC is off, whether it's scheduling or being less of a priority than initially believed or whatever. It really blows if that other character is important to yours for whatever reason. In those circumstances, it might be trickier or more sucky than at a non-roster game, but it's still possible to find other avenues for plot involvement.

ETA: I took a character off the +roster and my app was only a few sentences long. It more or less was: This character seems fun and has a role that I find enjoyable. I believe it will be a good fit.

Like a name alias? So you could be 'cup' or 'cake' or 'cc'?

ALL THE HUGS to anyone who wants/needs them.

For a long time, I've wanted to RP a decades-old polyamorous triad that was Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, and Nick Cave. I am also hella sadface about the news.

@Ganymede said in Harassment in VR, there's something we can likely learn from this.:

Finally, people do nag me for RP when I'm playing with Loki or others. It's always been an issue. Thankfully, no one has asked for a naked photo. I haven't quite found the right one.

Here you go.

That's because he was too busy protecting his schlong. #priorities

@Arkandel, my point is that there will not be a list unless Staff changes the policy, which seems very unlikely. Having a list will result in policing PBs. If you are concerned about not having the same PB as some other character, your only option, really, is to go through all the character pages of the same gender and look at the photos. Even then, someone else can come along and use the same PB you have, and it won't be in violation of anything. In fact, from what I gather, it would be considered poor form to complain about it.

@Kanye-Qwest, I'm definitely among those who feels frustrated by an inability to add content, and I still intend to create a Wikidot site to act as a repository for my org's lore and doings. If any of it is worthwhile enough to end up on the main Arx site, cool. If not, my peeps and I will still have a handy reference for our history and evolving cultural notes.

ETA: Speaking of the main Arx site, I would love for a search function. I miss that so much.

@Arkandel, it's my understanding that PBs are not being policed. Which is to say no one gets dibs on one. @Kanye-Qwest made mention of it in another thread.

My main complaint is that I feel the lore could be better organized. I often need to go to several different web pages to cobble together info, and then discover that there's info not yet posted at all. As an example, I love the Easter eggs in the different rooms, but I'd appreciate a repository of that stuff because, some of it, I feel like my character would IC know, and it's bothersome to discover those tidbits pretty much by OOC accident.

I know it's a work-in-progress, and that Staff are doing their best to finish the files, but it is somewhat disorienting to feel so clueless. It's particularly frustrating when the content has been decided by Staff, but hasn't been properly written up thus isn't posted. If I'm not around to hear about it on a channel, odds are I'm gonna remain ignorant about it. (Again, I understand times constraints and it being Alpha, and I know Staff are working hard, and it's appreciated, but I'd feel remiss to not make mention.)

ETA: I'd also really appreciate some primers for coded systems. Examples of what make a good +support request would be incredible helpful. I feel at a loss for appropriate phrasing.
