@Ghost Please. Even I have standards.

@auspice I think that's where most of the parents of my students got their self-control from.

@Auspice Preorders shouldn't be a thing.

That said, you bet your ass I preordered Cyberpunk 2077...

@Ganymede

@surreality She clearly teleported into the past in terror and, when meeting her past self, hit her causing the whole episode in the first place.

@Jaded said in Worst Games:

I often find people getting upset at delays confusing.

I think this is less to do with preorders specifically, but the sheer level of hype built around many larger games. Like, I get being disappointed when a game is delayed because you were excited to be playing it soon. I totally get that. But typing rage-filled diatribes and sending death threats to level designers on twitter because your game was delayed a few months? Ugh.

@GamerNGeek said in Picking the community's brain...:

It also doesn't help that my first and main exposure to it has been through Arx

Arx uses Evennia, not Ares.

@auspice said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

actually understand what the Attorney General is

They'd be these guys' boss, right?

@Jaded said in Worst Games:

one of the problems with Twitter

I think it's one of the problems of our instant access and availability to spread rage and find echo chambers. Twitter is an avenue for that, but isn't unique.

@Ghost said in SerenityMUSH - Discussion:

are a lot of those old guard vulture dinosaur 1%ers still there, has there been a reset and/or new direction of the game, or is this the same Serenity Mush that's been essentially kept on life support for the last 8 years?

There's two different questions here.

It doesn't look like it has been reset, but at the same time the game is practically empty so the old folks aren't there either.

People will want to communicate about this thing they've just seen. That's natural. In their exuberance spoilers will happen, it's just a fact of life in as information-rich a world that we live in now, so punishing people that make such mistakes (as opposed to those that shout "Rosebud is..." just to annoy people, who should be castrated and then eviscerated.)

That said, if you are on a forum like this one it's not difficult to create a new, spoiler-warning laden thread in which those that have absorbed the relevant media can participate, while leaving those that haven't and those that don't care out of it.

@Too-Old-For-This Knowing the shitshow SerenityMUSH code was last I saw it... somehow, something will break if you wipe all the stats and remove all the gear and all that jazz.

@auspice I am home, that's why I'm drunk.

so much as enjoy the same breakfast cereal as Inara's player.

Damn, I'm out of Spite-Os too.

@lithium Wait. If he's in a contained suit, then does that mean he only smells his own shit? Is he his own echo chamber in this metaphor?

@Bad-at-Lurking said in SerenityMUSH - Discussion:

I don't see the point of coded travel systems, to be honest.

In other environs, coded space systems add a layer of.. simulation, I guess, to the game. Star Trek and Star Wars are all about the space battles and all that jazz.

But in this case, you're right. The problem with Serenity originally is that there just... wasn't a plot a lot of the time. Not one that the various crews didn't make up themselves.

Two issues with this game on PC.

Keyboard and mouse controls can be janky at times, especially in combat against more than one opponent.

Chrome plus Nvidia graphics cards can sometimes cause the game to crash. So ensure Chrome is closed and not running in the background.
