RE: Shadowrun: Modern
I'm currently going through when the future would be. It's looking like 100 years, far enough that the population has entirely changed and far enough that cybernetics will be plausible.
Races have changed so many times I hesitate to mention. The Tolkien collection is so very tempting, but I want the fantasy to feel fantastic. The races should be interesting but not different just for the sake of being different.
This will be one:

RE: Arx- Gareth
Since you're on a roll, @mietze:
Corollary: If staff finds they want to or are telling a player to "shut up" in those exact words, or their blood pressure is rising, take a breath and step back to either let yourself settle down or to let someone else step in. Tagging-out is not a sign of weakness; it's a sign of wisdom and ultimately in this hobby taking care of your players is a strength.
Everything that @mietze said is true for staffers as well as players. I say this to assure balance, in no small part because we've all been there, feeling like staff is not playing by their own rules. If staff doesn't play by their own rules, if staff does not act the way they are willing to let other people act, the rules, guidelines, or desires of the staff are diminished.
People take the cues on how to behave on a game from staff first and foremost. I've watched many staff, not just players, be told that they need to let the game go, or staff tell other staff to back off (aka "shut up"), and the fights that followed were no less disastrous nor dramariffic than when a player does it; perhaps even more.

Who WAS that masked dipshit?
Man, I try to let it go and you keep picking it back up.
I'm going to free you from your-- no, no I'm not. I'm going to say:
That's the mirror, you dork.

RE: Arx- Gareth
Then my work here is done.
Non Sequitur Man, up! And away! And astounded! And did you check out what happened to the Space X test launch? So sad.

Ok I amend my statement again. Thenomain can go fuck herself, since only catty sorts use winky smileys.
I'd rather be catty than a pussy, pussy.

@Kanye-Qwest said in Arx- Gareth:
Ok then, I amend my statement. We freed ourselves up. Thenomain is also now free to go fuck himself, as rigorously as he can manage.
I love how you can dish it out but can't take it. Proves my point beautifully, thank you.
(edit for others: no we're not getting a room, gross! if I have to watch us hate-fuck like this, so do you!)

You made me a little sad thinking about this.
You could help me with this project Theno.
Only if there are dog scientists that wear chocolate labcoats! (Pun not mine; thank or blame Hey Ash Whatcha Playin'.)

RE: Arx- Gareth
@Kanye-Qwest said in Arx- Gareth:
Keeping him on the game would have ultimately been a waste of his time
Except that it's not your decision how others waste their time. You're not our parent, guardian, lawyer, or doctor. You're one person trying to make play-space for people to, in fact, waste their time in, hopefully in a way that they enjoy. Your only decision is to decide how to deal with how that goes for yourself and your game.
This is pretty much all I have to say on the topic, tho I may repeat myself from now until when people stop doing this.
Which does mean I may change my mind on some of the details as I re-evaluate situations and life and how Srs Bzns all this game-playing is.
Also, I can see you eyeballing me, @Ganymede.

@tek said in General Video Game Thread:
Anyone else play Rimworld? 11/10 was wiped out by vengeful capybaras.
It's a lot of fun, but it becomes repetitive too fast.

It doesn't make you a guru or a saint, but it is what it is.
Which was the point I was defending to @Caryatid. This could have gone better all around, by everyone.

@Thenomain said in Arx- Gareth:
Because nobody has the ability to free someone else to move on.
You have clearly never asked someone for full custody or a dissolution, then.
You know that I speak in hyperbole, just as I know you speak in lawyer, so just to you, good sir and/or madame! all around!
I was talking emotionally and mentally, mind you. If full custody can do that, I want to re-think my life.
Also, if it can be applied to Mu*s.
Because, you know, context.

RE: Arx- Gareth
@Kanye-Qwest said in Arx- Gareth:
[...] we called it what it was and freed both you and us up to move on.
Emphasis mine.
Because nobody has the ability to free someone else to move on. They'll move on when they want, no matter what else you do.
People tend to say this kind of thing when they don't want social backlash. "I'm doing it for his own good." Nnnnnoooo, you're doing it for your own good and it's not important in this situation what his own good is, because it's against the good of the game. Own up to that.

RE: Arx- Gareth
@tek said in Arx- Gareth:
Man, I have no horse in this race, but based on his posts, I wouldn't want this dude on my game either.
I feel the same about the phrase "free you from the game". What a load of political bullshit. If you're going to throw someone off the game, don't say you're giving them anything, lest of all "the opportunity to play elsewhere". This is probably because I lived through the 80s. Hey Management, please don't say you're doing me any favors. Sheesh.
Okay, rant done. I understand that when it's your game you get to behave however you want, but I don't think anyone's smelling like roses, here.
edit to add: Nor do I think anyone is being a one hundred percent absolute shit-stain colostomy bag. I'm seeing honest misunderstanding, poor communication, political wrangling, and finger-pointing. You know, people being people.

RE: Arx- Gareth
Arx is run by people normally used to running a Mud, isn't it?
@Caryatid said in Arx- Gareth:
You're misrepresenting what happened.
This is what we call "a misunderstanding" and is exactly the time to go into what happened. If you're going to flaunt that you know but won't tell even him, that's a bit of a dick move, Cary. On a couple of levels.

RE: General Video Game Thread
So instead I picked up Renowned Explorers at a lovely 66% off on Steam. It's a fun and funny diversion that will tide me over until I get paid. And pay rent. And loans. And bills. But it's fun.
