@abyss-walker If you're going to go around deleting your posts... scroll up, bitch. Delete the first one. Walk away from this. Start a new life.

@Auspice

Weyrlinghood is flat out the absolute worst time to play a dragon rider imo. You are limited in what you can rp thematically and by rule, everyone is still judging you despite search being over, etc. It's the worst.

Some of us have never gotten to play a dragon rider at all

@Meg said in RL Anger:

@Thenomain yeah, I wouldn't say it is wrong of anyone to cheer (except in the case of it being someone's PC and that person is already upset, but in that case it isn't wrong because of celebrating the fictional death but because you are being rude and inconsiderate to the player), just that it only makes me personally uncomfortable. I'd never tell anyone not to or expect them to feel bad or moderate their behavior for it. Just admitting to a silly little thing on my end.

Character death is rough to witness when it isn’t the player’s choice. A char on a game I used to play on semi-recently cough continually kept sharing valuable secrets with random PC’s that put my character and others in jeopardy, even after being confronted ICly and warned to desist. There were some definite cheers from the peanut gallery but the overall mood was just very wince-worthy when it was decided that they had to be ‘taken out.’ Not at all celebratory.

For me, it's the emotional labor or the (sometimes aggressive) expectation of emotional labor. Fabulous writers combined with the safety that comes from meeting on a screen instead of face to face.. by which I mean safety of expression.. There are just aspects of this hobby that can bring out the worst insecurities like the perfect fucking storm. Sometimes it really takes it out of ya and when it gives back, it doesn't always break even.

Uiland says, "Why don't you run and get Patrick?"

Uiland says, "Go on, run and get your "savior". The only One who truly got to know me. The rest of you trusted his description of me."

Is he trying to impersonate Mr Robot?

So like, Patrick is the dad? Should we move this to Mr. Robot spoilers?

We were playing a Marvel-esc campaign in our tabletop game in which we each had to char-build everyday people living in a hand-waved US city-scape. Our powers were randomized. My character ended up being an underemployed television actor with power mimicry and an extremely low intelligence score. He unknowingly copied the abilities of a time traveler thinking that it was teleportation and caused a rift when he inevitably came into physical contact with himself from the future (or past?) ...so, he went back in time to change that, causing an even bigger secondary rift when he touched both versions of himself to stop them from touching one another. The party killed him. Back of the head(s) with an axe.

@Meg Sorry, bb. Pimps don't fall in love.

@puppybreath The tension between Jamie & Rei was a lot of fun! I seriously still don’t know whether they’d have killed eachother in the end or not.

@auspice It's a relief to hear that you aren't being singled out but it really sucks that this professor is being like that. I'm sorry. Sounds a lot like he's just fucking averse to his goddamn job.
