I could make a game where everyone is an agender/asexual pale blue blob of protomatter and someone will 1) find a way to fuck and 2) find a way to make race/gender/sexuality/abelist/etc mess.

It's an unimportant federal building.

A rural post office that had closed down three years ago due to budget cuts and a small population in that zipcode that is now handled by the larger post office at the nearby large town/city.

We don't talk about closing down post offices.

But what about all those empty hands

You've got an arse.

@RightMeow I have been through these feels, and am with you spiritually, be strong... did it at least taste good?

Sadly, yes -- so I probably won't learn my lesson.

Of course, for the sake of science, you have to repeat the experiment. Several more times.

wagon of dildos with the squeaky wheel

New MSB tagline.

@Arkandel If the United States were a democracy, I'd agree with you.

Am I the only one whose sexual orientation changes depending on who I'm dealing with?

I mean. What I say my orientation is sure fuckin' differs, and my interest in individuals isn't defined by a label...

@Sunny 7.25 an hour and I will hang around in any group discussion and giggle at your witticisms.

@JinShei

The only bi married people are swingers. It is known. sagenod

Or they're cheating on their partner, because bi people are greedy and can't help it.

@Arkandel They spoke two years ago, in fact.

That is technically a waaahdolier

@GreenFlashlight said in RL Anger:

@Aria I'm so sorry. I take it the C stands for Combat?

Complex. Usually indicates PTSD that brings about or worsens other mental conditions.

ETA: C-PTSD usually occurs from repeated or prolonged trauma, rather than the 'simple' PTSD that can occur from a single traumatic event.

That's a problem with people playing against their RL type for shallow fetish fulfillment.

Hey, if I want to play a neurotypical person I refuse to call it a fetish.
Mostly.

tbh I don’t think I’ve ever heard anybody say anything anti-Hungarian, but there’s like zero eastern european pop where I grew up

There's plenty of anti-Eastern European rhetoric bouncing around Western Europe. Especially against the Poles.

@derp said in Sensitivity in gaming:

Anything extra needs to be communicated, and that burden of communication falls on the player with the need outside the scope of what has already been communicated.

Well, not really. Because anything extra is what is being run by the GM in question. I'm specifically not talking about phobias or other such things, that's... there's far too many of those to reasonably expect every single instance to be listed.

I'm talking about what a reasonable person (tm) would understand to be traumatic in a general sense. A game might well be for mature audiences, with oodles of violence and murder on a regular basis - but that doesn't extend to things like sexual assault, crimes against children, etc. Things that many people, not just those of us with specific triggers, would be repulsed by if it happened in reality.

That's all.

@ganymede Legal writing is just academic writing for nerds.

@il-volpe said in A healthy game culture:

@Tinuviel Stop it vs stop it completely kinda thing.

Still, I disagree. Transparency isn't something we can actually see in action, we simply have to assume that it is when we're told it is. And even if it is evident for some actions, there could very well be things hidden from us for others.

I'm perfectly fine with staff knowing my alts, but I don't want everyone to know. Sometimes I like to avoid people for a time, and not be hassled or feel compelled to engage with them. For instance.

ETA: This is to say, I don't trust anyone not to be corrupt and/or break rules. I hope they will, but bad actors are going to be bad actors regardless. VPNs are affordable enough that it is conceivable that someone can violate an IP ban relatively easily, so even that level of punishment doesn't actually guarantee anything.

I have an RL peeve.

When did I become old enough that my detachment from pop culture is expected, rather than something worth commenting on?
