I often forget to even think about the weather so I like the reminder because it then gives me more variety and color in my RP. I am fully supportive of putting a prefix on emits for people to gag, spawn, etc. as they like, tho.

Because we don't have a BAD TV Thread, I am catching up on The Strain.

I think @Coin should share his custom VtR 2nd Edition Devotion.

I thought about watching this show. But the ads and posters and stuff for it had a worm thing crawling into an eyeball.

Eyeballs are a squick factor for me. I cannot deal with eyeball mutilation.

Ugh I literally was just angry for like a whole month because of those posters being wrapped on buses all over the city and I had to see it all the time.

*Someone is sitting in the location and suddenly notices that they have a bug/spider on them. In that same vein, having a mouse run over someone's foot in a coffee shop/other establishment.

SOME OF US have had GIANT NYC RATS RUN OVER OUR FOOT IN REAL LIFE and would appreciate SENSITIVITY REGARDING THIS ISSUE, MIETZE

@bananerz said in Rosters: To PB or Not To PB?:

Are you saying that having the PB means you own some type of copyright on the PB when you actually don't have the right to that image and/or likeness? That seems hypocritical.

That's a huge leap of hyperbole.

Veronica Mars is here a WEEK EARLY!!

@mietze Yeah, I'm not surprised. I know I as a player definitely remember when a GM has clear expectations and enforces them. And it makes me very much want to be on their PRPs again in the future, because it indicates a philosophy of respecting the overall group's time.

And to the "why would you want to know the story of a movie beforehand?" comments (which I can't find now) ...

@admiral said in Open Sheets?:

However, back on the topic of open sheets... why do you need to see my sheet? What do you gain from knowing so much that your character doesn't? Do you like to read wikipedia entries about a movie's plot before you go see it to prime yourself? Do you enjoy it when staffers who run scenes tell you all the backstory of what's going on up front? I'd assume not. You don't need to see every little detail about my character. Maybe I want to reveal my character's abilities, aptitudes, and motivations through my RP. Open sheets take that away entirely.

Hal Prince and I'm just gonna go find a corner to cry in.

Handling apps for superpower stuff is honestly just the worst. I hated it so much.

Picking apart someone else's code, putting it back together, and changing it is one of the best ways to learn code!

I just caught up on S2 and 3 of She-Ra and MAN it's a lot of fun.

More like fun stuff that I'm excited to do right: starting to plan out the multi-week plot you're closing your game with and getting to pull out ALL THE STOPS to make things ridiculous and awesome. I'm giddy.

Yeah, I'm sorry! I was actually looking at it in terms of learning by doing, too. Not just reading code or something, I wouldn't really learn that way either.

I wonder then from which point in Spider-man's film or comics continuity they're planning to take things.

For starters after five damn movies in the last thirteen years we don't need the damn origin story told again! How many times does Uncle Ben need to die before they're satisfied the audience knows what happened?

They've at least explicitly stated that they are NOT telling the origin story again. Probably because too many fans would flip out about this exact thing.

Also in the original story the point of Spidey's initial inclusion under Tony's banner was to boost the Registration Act. There he was, an infamous and very well known masked super-hero revealing his identity to the public in order to obey the law and do the right thing. If they have him be just a kid who barely even owns a proper costume yet (as possibly implied by the fact he's using the home-made version?) the impact of that seems pretty lessened. Why would Stark even care about what some upstart kid does?

There's zero reason to think anything's going to be working the same as it did in the comics, really. The only thing Age of Ultron had in common with the comics arc was the presence of Ultron. People keep going crazy over things like OOH RUMORS OF THE TEAM BREAKDOWN and it's like, everyone chill out, we literally don't even know the actual details of what the conflict even is.

That's to say, I don't think it matters about impact of story being lessened, because it's a different story. (Thank God, IMO. Not a big fan of the Civil War comics arc.)

@mietze Yes, this. As a younger RPer, I would sometimes have issues with bleed, occasionally bad ones. I was surely imperfect in managing this, although in my head I always knew that it was my responsibility to manage. I definitely never made demands, but I know that sometimes I might have let my sadness over a certain development show in a way that I still wouldn't find to be at all cool. But people having feelings about RP things? TOTALLY NORMAL AND FINE. We are engaging in a strange and curious hobby that is full of emotive things. Being emotionally invested in a story is pretty normal. It's about the level of your reactions and, most importantly, how to handle and express them.

@crayon There was a Neverwhere game at SOME point because it was literally what introduced me to Gaiman: I saw a listing for it on Mudconnecter back in my youth and was like, that sounds cool, oh it's based on a book, maybe I'll read it. I read the book, fell in love with Gaiman, and then never played the MU*. It could have been a MUD or a MUSH or something else, I have no memory of those details at this point. But I KNOW IT EXISTED. Because it's the story of how I got into Neil Gaiman's work.

@Arkandel said:

What I mainly disliked about Civil War is that, although they started out claiming it'd be an evenly told story, it very quickly went to the pro-registration heroes clearly being the bad guys.

Iron Man agrees with you.

Sometimes I see people going through SUPER old posts -- like not month old, but months or even year+ old -- and I'm just so curious like, WHAT ARE YOU DOING OVER THERE

There have been at least a few blind players on Arx I've heard about. The code staff actually made some nice updates after some made some suggestions about ways to improve the screen-ready experience, which was v nice.

@Sunny I'm pretty sure you're legally owed a refund for the past, like -- year.
