Alright, well thanks for banning me over something that had nothing to do with my actual conduct on the game, nor on a publicly view able part of the boards. Glad to see censorship in full swing, over a disagreement to do with if something is a spirit or not, and then full blown overreaction at attempted contact to discuss things. Enjoy your game I suppose, hopefully you don't censor anyone else.

God of War (PS4) is on Playstation Now and I still love this series a little too much.

Even moreso now that Kratos - and the dev team - have grown the fuck up.

On a side note, does anyone else's body temperature rise when playing really action intense games? I'm talking full on adrenaline flush and sweating. I've only noticed it with this game lately, but it's a strange (and gross) feeling.

Oh yeah, a lot. Sometimes it kinda sucks because I'll end up having to take like an hour break from just playing for 15-20 minutes to calm down.

@Rinel @Tinuviel Just doesn't like TS, is what I get from most of their quoted answers I see in this thread.

Whether that's true or not there isn't anything wrong with that. It's already been pointed out different people like different things, and that paints our responses.

Didn't say there was anything wrong with it, I was more just being like 'I don't think you'll be able to get a reasonable discussion with this person because of X'

ETA: There, now it seems less bitchy and more constructive, thanks!

@Rinel I don't think you'll be able to get a reasonable disccusion because @Tinuviel just doesn't like TS, is what I get from most of their quoted answers I see in this thread. And will try and convince anyone they can that you should just not engage in it.

On an aside, FTB in -any- situation, is always awkward for me because then I don't know what has actually transpired and few people tend to want to hammer out the details of what FTB means, it's usually why they are FTB'ing to avoid discussing the things. These days I just end a damn scene, I have something "interrupt" and make my character leave or respond, so that way there is never a FTB, because in real life that's what happens when you can't keep doing the thing you want to be doing, real life interrupts your ass and it feels more immersive to me.

@Auspice If it makes you feel better I don't recall you ever telling me anything about your sex life or anyone else ever telling me any such information either.

I think more people know about @Auspice having a sex life from her bitching about someone talking about it than people actually talking about it

@Tinuviel said in RL Anger:

@RightMeow Always assume people are going to be at least a little shitty. You're usually right, and when you're wrong it's a pleasant surprise.

This just makes me sad.

It makes me sad too, but when I adopted that practice, both online and off, and learned to cut out the 'lotta shitty' people, boy did I get a lot happier

@Macha said in Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff:

My pharmacy somehow is out of BOTH my anti anxiety med and my ADD Med. FUCK.

Usually you can get an emergency referral from your pharmacy to another one that does have the medication in stock. You just gotta ask them.

@Arkandel said in TS - Danger zone:

@magee101 Maybe that warrants one of those classy conversations!

How long does a scene need to be before it gets to TS (feel free to include foreplay as part of TS)? What's ideal for you?

Foreplay tends to be part of the TS, the tension between characters, the setting of outfits and scenery. Usually I find the average time is about an hour of lead up depending on how quickly people pose before it gets to TS. sometimes the foreplay is just as fun as the TS itself and it can be two hours.

For example do most of your TS scenes get right to it once the scene begins? Are they the logical followup of a separate scene leading directly to it? Do you ever just start TS at the end of a completely chaste RP?

There have been a few times, namely non-consensual scenes that start out pretty much right from the get-go but it's still usually 2 poses a piece before the actual sex begins to set the situation. I actually tend to get squicked out if someone is just like 'I walk up and start stripping you down' with no real juicy details or build up.

Also bonus question! Do you ever pause in the middle of TS then pick it up at a later time?

Well, sometimes. A lot of times TS gets paused 'in the middle' or FTB'ed, sometimes it resumes where it left off but most of the time it moves on to another scene with new kinks or new situations.

This is truly the classiest thread ever.

Bonus answer; I have a hard time committing to just flirty build up that then FTB, as someone that has always quite enjoyed the exercise of writing erotically a FTB is like a giant cocktease and I am waaay less likely to get into a 1on1 innocent roleplay with someone that has previously FTB'ed the erotic parts of the scene. Yes, I understand some people don't want to go through the erotica but still have the relationship be canon, but then I'm over here like... you want to go from having a sexually charged situation back to some other normal scene? Sorry I'm in this mood now and I either need to go distract myself or find someone that does want erotica.

ETA: On MU* TS scenes tend to last either 1-2 hours and someone isn't jivving and disconnects, or 3-4 hours and then RL happens. On sites like f-list, I've had erotica scenes last 8-10 hours.

@Arkandel That's exactly how I prefer my TS, but its usually easier to just get to the juicy parts because all that other shit takes so long by the time you get to the actual TS people tend to have to like, leave and go do RL shit.

( @bored was kinda right when he said this feels like I'm running a survey here)

TS with NPCs or during PrPs. Where do you stand on this? What I'm thinking is PrPs involving one ST and one player but y'all might surprise me.

Admittedly only on Shangrila, but I've definitely ran gangbangs for 1-2 players.

That's not a gangbang.

I assume if it's being run, that means there are NPCs + the 1-2 players, so it is a gangbang.

You are correct.

@Tempest said in General Video Game Thread:

One day I will actually finish ME3 and see firsthand what all the hubbub and hate was about.

In the meantime, 1+2 are still some of the best games ever.

The hate didn't really die down, it just became apparent that there was never going to be a proper solution and folks let the Citadel DLC calm things over, but most of the community is still sore about how binary the two choices are, and even the third choice is a slapstick. My real problem with the endings is that you don't really get to -see- what the hell becomes of the universe you worked so hard towards. you get a 30 second reel of a few characters and then fade to beautiful space background and credits. You don't get any sort of real closure or understanding of how the universe is going to function or continue.

@RDC said in General Video Game Thread:

Longer games = better games is a cancer on the games industry.

The Last of Us has a run-through time of between 12 and 16 hours. At $60, that would put your cost per hour at around $4 to $5.

So, you're right.

To me it's what the game is advertising itself to be. Last of Us is not an open world free form RPG game, it is a linear RPG-lite, and it advertised itself that way. Skyrim advertised itself as an open world game with 100+ hours of content if all side quests and random content are explored. You can play unmodded vanilla skyrim for that long, I logged over 1000 hours on xbox with no mods and was perfectly content. I then logged another 1000 hours on Steam with some modded content a couple years later (tho the game was only like 30 bucks then).

The main reason I said 1$ per hour would be good for Outer Worlds is because it is marketed as a open world RPG. It's also why I don't buy games like Last of Us or the Call of Duties, I buy RPG games because I want something that will give me 40-60 if not more hours for that 60 dollar price tag.

The Outer Worlds: A 5-Second Review

Didn't hate it, didn't love it. Wished there was more...everything.

The Outer Worlds: A 5-Second Follow-Up

Wait, Ashley Burch voiced for it? 10/10! Game of the Year! Wooooo!

So I decided to bite the bullet and wait two days for it to download (Because wow Epic, just fucking wow, also their newly implemented cloud saves take for fucking ever to upload)

I am not sure how long the game is yet, but I feel like if I can squeeze 60 hours out of it on one play through (which I'm at a bit over 30) it's worth 60 bucks, (1$ an hour of entertainment).

I'm only running through on Normal difficulty and its really stupid easy if you keep tinkering and upgrading. I understand there's higher levels of difficulty for later play throughs and I can see the mechanics that are implemented but normal is more like story mode is in most other games. I died one time on the Vale from the first Primals you can run across, and then a second time because I blew myself up with a grenade launcher next to a whole stack of canisters trying to shoot someone and my companion walking in front of the grenade. The game itself though is fun, the comedy is there, I think if they make some expansions (for reasonable prices unknown if they can/will with their new deal they signed onto with Microsoft) it could become ALL the Outer Worlds enough.

Okay, so while we're still on the topic of IC appearances in general (whether based on a specific PB or otherwise), if you're about to create new character(s) with another player - in other words they're kind of destined to be in a romantic/sexual relationship (*) - do you ask or provide input as to their looks?

(*) While we're at it, would you say you usually create characters more or less knowing in advance who their partner's player will be, or do you wing it once they hit the grid purely based on their RP?

I've never had the opportunity to 'app in' with someone, sexual partner or no.

I used to always 'app in' since it helped guarantee there's no drama involved in RPing relationships with strangers but also as kind of... quality assurance. But mostly the drama thing.

Never had anyone stick around that long. Most of the folks I would get along with would get tired of the community and bugger off or get busy RL and stop MUing all together.

@Arkandel said in TS - Danger zone:

Is a PB ever a dealbreaker because you don't like the model person? For example would you be okay with TS with a nice character who's using an abusing asshole for their looks?

I personally don't draw parallels between who the PB is and who the character is. I don't expect people that use Hugh Jackman to be Wolverine nor Australian for example

Howdy, how's everyone doing, looks like some are okay and other suffering, it also took a really long time to read this thread.

So I'm a person some of you may recognize, others maybe not so much, at the end of the day mostly I've been dealing with pinched nerves up and down my back for the last two years and the last six months my SI started getting pinched up as well and I've been near hobbling almost wheel chair bound during that time. Hence why I've been cropping back up here, because.. I ain't got much else I can do anymore.

Healthcare in America sucks, and I'm poor and I cannot get assistance anymore due to policy changes, nor can I work to afford the healthcare to get fixed. So there's that! So, welcome back to MU'ing for me!

Did you guys launch on time?

@Arkandel said in TS - Danger zone:

Alright, I'll get this thread back to its disgusting track by asking all the wrong questions!

Does the played-by (either your character's or someone else's) matter to you when it comes to TS at all? Does it influence how you play your PC or which characters they pursue or uh, how?

I mean, if someone has a skaggy looking PB I probably won't be very likely to get physically involved with them but like what RightMeow says, it's more about 'wow that was a really good scene and I like the way you write things and describe things, wonder if you're that good erotically'
