Fun people let me get them wet, and drop totally-not-bat-poop on their heads, as well as rocks.

TY for letting me play with you.

@dvoraen asked if I had seen his kitty but my brain read pussy and honestly I am not at fault for how that didn't compute right away in my head.

@derp

It was a total surprise. She and I had passed post cards back and forth so she had my address and just SENT IT. Zero warning.

My job description can be (almost, this is hyperbolic) boiled down to the words, "Tell children what to do."

So when a kid says, "You're not the boss of me." or "You can't tell me what to do." the answer is, "It's literally my job."

@lisse24

10/10 agree with you and @Arkandel !

I think it would be rather easy to make a game set in the Reckoners world though! It would be like a super hero game. Only NPC Epics, and everyone else is a nice "normal" human. Very PvE with different Epics vying for control You can ally with an epic, work against them, slice of life stuff if you don't really want to engage against the Epics. Shifting worlds as one Epic takes over from another (we're all tired of this city of steel? Damn, look at that Water dude that just flooded the damn city). Probably place it in an alternate universe altogether so that we don't have to worry about being true to specific powers granted by Calamity.

Man... I would staff the freak out of this game but know zero about setting something up. Le sigh.

For all I consider myself religious, I hate going to Church on this day. Being unable to convince in a family centric Church has always been difficult. They gather all women 18 years or older to honor us and it pisses me off. Me mentoring kids, working with kids, being an aunt, or strong role model will NEVER replace that biological failure. I'm almost grateful that the pandemic has kept me out of the building this year and the year before.

I'm not a mother and I have a bubbling pot of anger in my soul when someone tries to lump me in with mothers. I could have adopted or talked my husband around to foster. I haven't. I don't deserve any freaking honor.

(Please note that this isn't directed at the OP and their lovely comments about the role models in their life. This is just me as someone dealing with infertility in a culture where motherhood is considered sacred. )

Also to the people who I could not RP with for months/ years then can pick up a thread with me and turn it into fucking meaningful rp on a dime.

It restores my faith in this hobby like wow and makes me reach out to the others I've had that same connection with.

For utterly no reason at all this is one of my favorite movies.

Yes, but, I'd sort online friends into two groups- real friends and acquaintances.

Real friends I care about them beyond the game itself. When they or I leave a sphere we keep talking to one another. I keep caring about them. I want to send them a message and keep up the connection. Acquaintances are those where if the game connection ends, so does the 'friendship'.

I can't decide between gripping fear and anger.

My sister's family has COVID, and brother in law (who I adore - this is not a distant relationship) is in the ER right now with very low oxygen levels. This is the fear.

The anger is because they deliberately chose not to be vaccinated because they were hesitant because of misinformation. (They attributed a friend's death to the vaccine but he had a history of blood clots before the vaccine and got Pfizer not J&J.)

I feel like this was preventable but I will never ever ever say this to them.

So venting on an anonymous internet forum.

@il-volpe

Only if people beyond that bit want that kind of plot. And, if those people, in return are willing to engage the bit in question and not force the plot to be all them. (Literally. I had a GM throw poses specifically so my character could get involved and someone else went "I HAVE THE THING NEEDED" and so despite the best efforts of said GM my character ended up being absolutely unnecessary.)

I feel like this is, "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink."

@ganymede

We are adequate at different things!

The scene last night for Norwood's fite-the-baddie plot?

Just perfect.

@insomniac7809

And we wonder why people don't want to go back to certain jobs....

@devrex said in RL-Friendly Game Design:

@L-B-Heuschkel does a great job of GMing async and making it really fun and I'm not sure what his techniques are there or what he's doing differently that I'm not doing (or if he's just wired differently as a GM) but.

I think it's just that they HAVE TO DO IT or they'd never RP. You grow into whatever restraints you have to.

And the paperwork is signed!!

My husband's tiktoc sharing the news.

@derp

And FUNDING doing the follow-up studies to prove the first one was actually legit, rather than only funding 'novel' research.

My uncle gave me some of his cheaper lightsabers because he brought pretty expensive new ones.

This is what ended up happening.

@Derp

You've already set up an account but 110% I suggest a credit union. Especially one as a part of an association that 'shares' ATMs. I started banking with a Denver credit union when I was 16 (it was my parent's) and kept it when I moved to Utah, and then Arizona. They had associations with other credit unions (It's called CO-OP) so that if you used a co-op atm the fees were waved. I could make deposits to my Denver bank, as well as with draws. Provo alone had 97 different ATMs in the co-op, so getting to one was never an issue.

So... yes. I'm a credit union flag waver. >.>

What I'm hearing in this thread is a whole lot of "We need to stop treating this as a black and white issue."

That means that before we make a judgement about someone's health based on weight we should shut up and listen first. Likewise, if someone has told us they are trying to lose weight, we say "what can I do to help you?" and then again listen to them.

This is the same for doctors. Stop assumptions, and just listen.
