@Auspice and @Lithium I love you both for saying what you both said. +1 to both of you!

Is Torment on Steam?

@Roz Game over man!

Too soon?

The documentation thing is funny because when you ask for help, people refer you to the documentation. Me and someone struggled through something last night, it was like hey I'm trying to do specific thing, but I'm having trouble. Helpful player: help specific thing.

What I noticed is newer code seems to tell you more, what you did wrong in a helpful way. It's easier to figure out what you did wrong from the error message you get.

I'm a fairly new player and I have to say, my biggest bane as a new player has been clues. When I started, I had quite a few from previous players I had to sort through. Then I'd RP with people and we'd share more, then I'd have more stuff to sort through and organize. Pretty soon I had a Carrie Mathison crazy wall in my living room, with colored string and color coded sticky notes.

It's not as bad as it sounds. At some point I realized that I should probably just focus on one or two things, and let other characters sort the rest out. My head did explode though prior to that realization....twice.

I think the AP thing is good, I know the first time I shared a clue with a couple people and it cost me 15 AP, I immediately thought "Fuck that I'll just tell you the clue." It definitely puts more focus on crisis actions and doing things that deal with that. The only problem is some people didn't get the memo and/or they just like having information just for the sake of it.

It became part of the culture. But people ain't givin up them points for share time as much now.

@surreality Oh believe me, I stared at it for a long time too. You're right, it is kind of surreal. I was waiting for....something, immense pain or lots of blood. Never happened, which is good, I chalked it up to shock. The crazy thing is when it happened it was a deep hole, now it's a dent with a scab and it still doesn't hurt. So I'l just count my blessings and if I start trembling or twitching, then I'll call up the doc!

I don't mind putting together furniture, that's the funny thing. It was just one of those things where a piece didn't fit like it was supposed to and really bad luck.

I can't even call it bad luck because, it didn't even bleed that much. We're in the bathroom staring at my wrist waiting for blood to come gushing out and it never did. Now that I have feeling in my hand again, I'm relieved it wasn't serious.

But still...fuck IKEA.

@Three-Eyed-Crow Hi5!

Frickin IKEA furniture man. I'm putting together a bed frame with my husband last night and while I'm screwing one of those peg/screw things, the screwdriver slips and is buried in my wrist. Miraculously, I miss every major vein but I have a hole the diameter of a screwdriver in my wrist and my hand just stopped feeling weird and tingly today.

Those pictograph like instructions had us looking at one direction for like 20 minutes, trying to figure out which one not to do, because the X was so faded you had to hold it up to the light to see it.

Finally built the thing and went to sleep. Fuck you ikea.

So they added Prince to Spotify, that alone has made me love Spotify even more.

@TwoGunBob My husband doesn't like it either. I'm considering buying and watching it without him though, I'm really curious to see where it goes.

Re: mattresses Tuft and Needle y'all. It's like sleeping in a fucking cocoon.

Way to suck me into the game guys. Way to go!

I'm glad systems stuff came up. I have a basic grasp of things, obviously I know how to pose, write a journal, share clues, etc. I'm a little shaky on the dice rolls, how the prp system works, basically the more crunchy bits of the game.

I noticed from looking at the journals there was an ooc workshop in the past. I learned a lot just from reading the log. Would it be possible to run a couple more of those in the near future? I think it would be really helpful to both new and old players.

Here we go again.

We're in the age of "alternative facts" now

@TNP Welcome back! I came back to the game myself about a month ago and am having a blast. There's a lot of things to get involved in right from the start.

@Auspice I choose "resting bitch face" characters all the time! There is just a certain appeal there.

@Auspice I had a feeling we had some character types we enjoy to play in common.

@Ganymede That actually looks like a fun beat'em up game! I might poke around a little on there.

whoops...closed.
