I really hate how tragedies like what happened in Paris brings out the stupid in people who make fucking stupid, inappropriate comments.

So. Fallout 4 releases in under 24 hours. By tomorrow evening I will have my Pip-Boy edition in hand (and on wrist).

See ya in 2016, muing.

I both envy and hate you. Though I will also likely disappear into FO4 for awhile. XD

Likewise, although I have to wait to get it, myself. So I am avoiding watching FO4 streams, YouTube 'let's play' and other sources of possible spoilers.

Ben & Jerry's Pumpkin Cheesecake ice cream. 'nuff said.

Another RL thing I love: I love that Twitch.tv is streaming a Bob Ross marathon! I am dying of happy little tree overdose and I am happy!

I've never looked into it personally (my art sucks too hard to ever consider selling) but I know DeviantArt has a print shop you can sell prints through. Not sure if you have to be a member of the site or what, but it might be worth looking into.

The sad thing about Halloween is that my boys are too old to trick-or-treat now. If I want candy I have to buy it instead of just raid their loot.

Sure, it's one of those things that you say only to have things wind up going all tits-up again, but it's a risk I'll take if only for the joy being able to say it brings, temporary or otherwise.

I love being able to say that everything is finally alright again after over a year of struggling.

Got this bookmarked for when/if I can ever dedicate the time needed to run something. Thanks for posting this and letting us know about it!

Oh yeah. I remember hearing about the fish stick-throwing Donna. I can't remember if I was still staffing/playing there at the time and someone told me about it as I was offline or if I had quit all around by then. I do remember face palming a lot, however, because wtf?

@Groth

So not clicking on those links because I'll be clicking for hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and...

Implies that XP is gratification. I can't tell you how many times I've ended up with more XP than I cared to spend and it was far out of sync with my own character progress. Most of them, for sure.

I think that to a lot of people getting XP is gratifying although I can't say why. Maybe they see it as a reward for all the time they spend on a game or something.

For me, I think the big difference between MUDs and MUSHes (besides the obvious things like code, command, etc) is the level of gratification one can get on one versus the other:

MUDs: Pretty much instant gratification. There are mobs to kill and progress is more obvious. You level up as you play which makes a sense of accomplishment easier to obtain.

MUSHes: It takes a lot more work to feel like you're getting somewhere. First you have to find players to RP with and then you actually have to get scenes in, unless it's a game that awards XP even if you don't get IC. XP can be slow to obtain, making progress slow.

I have kicked around the idea of an original-setting spy themed mu* but am kind of hindered by a lack of coder. Ah well. Maybe someday.

Have to admit that I always felt FS3 would work well for a comic/hero-themed game. Will peek in at some point, give things a look-see.

@FiranSurvivor

Heh. Thanks. Could never find a picture of Apu I liked. Will change it.

@il-volpe

Sorry. Can barely remember my own name most days.

@il-volpe

It was either Game of Kings or Game of Bones. I think it was the latter that was the 'original setting but still kind of GoTish' but I didn't play on them so can't remember.
