There's Netrunner and there's Android: Netrunner. Netrunner was a Richard Garfield-created, WotC-produced collectible cardgame that came out in 1996. In 2008, Fantasy Flight Games released a board game called Android with its own setting. In 2012, Fantasy Flight releases Android: Netrunner which used mechanics and ideas from Netrunner and the setting from Android.

I know nothing about any MUDS that take place in the settings of any of the products; though, Android is a pretty good if standard cyberpunk setting.

That's limited in California by good ol' Prop 13, which I'm pretty sure most Californians hold more sacred than the actual U.S. Constitution.

You know where I'm at. And like any good Midwesterner, I carry.

The thing I miss most to be honest.

WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD ;__;

Awesome and crazy things.

@testament

That's what the bot in catbot is. Ganymede was a bot programmed to find and collect cat gifs on the internet. Then she became self-aware and branched off into law.

I think the joke was that @saosmash doesn't have a gay fetish character at all, but people like to claim @saosmash does. @Kanye-Qwest pointed out that her character had heterosexual sex with this character that is alleged to be a gay fetish character, which would make that argument moot.

@cobalt

Another possible solution is incentivizing with xp. "We have these particular types of characters underrepresented right now. Make one and get a 50 xp bonus." However, I feel this would just get abused by people creating a stereotypical caricature just to reap the xp bonus. Whereas, a roster character has been created by staff, so should be more of a character than a bad joke.

Finally, a stream when I am off work!

I was somewhat disappointed that Arx's fealties were drawn from mostly European cultures, rather than a broader spectrum (East Asia-inspired Crownlands? Africa-inspired Oathlands? Polynesian Mourning Isles?), but with the lands across the sea having some of those themes, I understand why.

Have a glass of Romulan Ale on us, Shatner.

@saosmash
Do they utilize jew jitsu?

Also, I don't recall that thread, probably because I lost complete interest when it was a Discord server.

I have been fascinated by the pet reviews on Clint's Reptiles. Clint is a biologist and is a very friendly, adorable dweeb that is a joy to watch as he engages in his passion of herpetology. I personally don't care much about reptiles finding them neither scary or interesting, but I almost want to get into either lizard or snake keeping after watching some of his videos. Heck, I almost want to get into spider keeping after some of his spider videos, and I detest those children of Satan and Cthulhu hatefucking while watching Alien.

New to keeping reptiles as pets? Might I suggest one of his older videos listing the top five reptiles for beginners.

Interested in getting an easy to care for, more cute/interesting than terrifying, and kind of cool bug? Watch his review on the Blue Death-Feigning Beetle.

Maybe a chicken is more the pet for you. What do you mean that's not a reptile? The chicken is more closely related to crocodilians than crocodilians are to snakes and lizards, as he points out in this video.

Want to see him try to keep an Anaconda in frame while reviewing and scoring it as a pet? His conclusion is that it's a wonderful snake to have as a pet, if you want a pet that can easily hug you to death.

King Cobra's don't make good pets, but he pets and holds one in his hands in this video. (He explains why Otis is so calm and he is able to get away with it.)

Here's a cool, friendly lizard that I want to at least see and maybe handle in person someday.

@GreenFlashlight
Rubbernecking. You can't look away from the train wreck.

Ooooh, I forgot one! It's in my top ten; though, I haven't seen it in a long time, so I should probably re-watch it and re-evaluate it.

FLCL (Fooly Cooly)
Fooly Cooly is a coming-of-age story about sex, drugs, and rock & roll. Also Vespas and an evil interstellar company that wants to iron out all the wrinkles in the universe to keep people from thinking for themselves. It's in the comedy/drama genre. It is a surreal, chaotic mess that is a thing of pure beauty. It experiments with music, art styles, and the media of anime as a whole. You will be just as confused going through it as a person is confused by adolescence. It's amazing how good of a job the English translators did in, since there so many in-jokes and culturally specific bits of humor. It's only six episodes, so, if you haven't seen it, set aside a few hours in an evening and crank it out. If you need more convincing, here is an actual journalistic review: 20 Years Later, 'FLCL' Is Still an Essential Anime Gem - Revisiting the intensely chaotic six-episode anime series that set a new creative animation standard.

@HelloProject said in [NSFW] Erotic RP Concepts:

Erotic MUSH except the entire world is one giant corporate office and we live there and are stressed out, and revolt with occultism and fucking. And some of the offices have been taken over by sects of anarchists who do sexy things and dance around a fire naked, with all of their calculators jailbroken to play Doom.

So the background lore of Doom 2016, with less of the blood and guts?

@ortallus

I agree; the Genki Girl is almost always the best girl.

@HelloProject

I call dibs on Cockodemon and Cyberingdemon.

@tinuviel

Same reason Alexa and Siri have such pleasant voices.
