Anyone play Pokémon Go? I recently started up again because it helps me fodcus on something other than pain when I'm walking.

"Is this the appropriate time to scream like a goat?"

"Maybe we shouldn't eat the floor candy."

My Sundays teaching Hebrew School to 9- and 10-year-olds are interesting.

"Hey, sorry, it's not personal, but I'm terrible with names."

@Runescryer Please run this game. Your head is in the right place.

@Caryatid Okay, so now I'm dying to know the drama that has you rejecting both Arx and Ithir.

I love the people I met playing AoA, but it just felt like BaRP and meaningless combat events in a static world that we couldn't actually influence at all.

I'm so down

I want a Carnival Row game so bad

As one of the newer MUers I've encountered (I'm about three years into the hobby), these are some of the unwritten conventions I had to learn the hard way:

1. Pose order and how people like to handle that
2. It was hard for me to learn that most people aren't into lots of OOC chatting
3. Pose length and what to put in my poses -- I didn't realize it was expected that I should not only write what my character does, but that everyone (or the majority of folks) in the scene with me generally expects to be acknowledged, usually by name.

@The-Sands I think they're mixing their allegories and playing on different elements. There's commentary on everything from refugee ethics, passing privilege, respectability politics, and has hints of everything from black issues to Jewish ghettos.

Can anyone recommend a protein shake that doesn't taste like ass and is preferably $1 or less per serving? Does such a thing exist?

Carnival Row is my everything. It's a steampunk fantasy sort of Syrian refugee allegory with a bisexual protagonist and the costumes and the aaaaaaaaa

I've never had my tastes pandered to so hard with media before. Is this what it's like to be a straight white man? If so, daaaaamn.

@Auspice WHAT

@Auspice Oh, I've done vinyls and wraps before. Right now, I really like Espionage Cosmetics for those. It's stamps that I've never really tried.

@Auspice I've never tried that! I love catseye gel, though.

@Auspice I have glitter polish, holographic flakes, transfer foil, gonna get some magnetic catseye stuff with my next paycheck

My one point of vanity is my nails. I recently realized that for the price of one salon manicure, I could get everything I wanted to do my own gel nails at home, including special UV protection gloves to protect my skin. Happy Tek is happy.

@Ghost I love that there's a fat character who is competent, smart, and has a romantic plot. I also love that there's a trans character who just exists without a single line of plot being about how they are trans.

I describe Katee's character as "Starbuck, if she had her shit together"

My only complaints are that the subplots that happen back on Earth are meh and there's only so many times we can have the pressing crisis of the episode be "we have x amount of time before the ship explodes" before it gets old.

I am loving Another Life. Hard sci-fi with incredible representation, freaky body horror, Katee Sackhoff.

I've been in the dmv for four hours. I forget what the outside world is like.
