I was watching a comedy special from marc Maron and he described something i know intimately and now have a name for.
Aggravated Boredom. Nothing is stimulating my brain and I am mad about it. It's a terrible helples almost tantrum-y feeling where you just simmer while you are prevented mind stimulation for whatever reason.
@Ghost The first person I TS'd with did the you thing, it was something I 'learned' early in muing, but it wasn't just for TS, basically any time I went into a one on one scene I went to 'you' posing. Then I un learned that after reading about how it creeped people out on WORA, tho no one ever said it to me directly or pointed it out to me to my face. Thinking back it's cringy and embarrassing, but sometimes these things that we take for granted as being 'universally known'.. aren't.
Chinese Buffet, Too much sushi to eat in one sitting. Depression food Delivery has fucked my finances more than once.
This conversation sounds familiar.
Are we once again pretending for this argument that humans don't get weird AF about sex? That there is no power balance difference between Staffers and Players? That there is no difference between an ftb that states that they bumped uglies and hours of sexually explicit posing?
Stop Using Staff NPC's to TS, it just opens up way too much potential buillshit.
I hate existing within 'time'. Since I've started working again, this has become my biggest resentment and hurdle, living in a world in which I am subject to schedules that I have to stick to (shut up about Miami, I know I know(<3)).
I'm just about finished with this mornings 'not-quite-a-panic-attack' where I consider calling in with a fake illness, or injuring myself rather than go to my not hard at all just takes time out of my day job'
How do people do this regularly?! For the yawning infinite abyss that is the 'foreseeable future'
All the men look like children in bad middle school theater makeup and fake facial hair.
That is something I actually disagree with, pretty vehemently. A small grid I feel is detrimental when trying to represent a large city and a sprawling wilderness. it makes things feel cramped and small. Could you imagine logging into a popular videogame and being like "Well Geralt, here's yer lobby, there's no real adventure, just imagine it's wide open space, go click that button there when you want to fight the next monster and we'll make a little room for you. Oh that other room? That's Novigard, I know it's just a refrigerator box but if you use yer imagination it's bigger, have fun."
Using Fallcoast as an example, people were told time and again that Fallcoast was a large city, the size of Nashville or larger, yet time and again people thought it was a small town, it has like 6 grid squares, it's teensy.
Wilderness? Well my PC is supposed to live super deep in thew woods away from everyone, yet there are 15 other builds on the same grid square. yeah people can 'use their imagination' but there is still a weird feeling of being crowded in.
What about Territory for things like Werewolves? Well my pack controls... the second paragraph of this grid room description because this single grid room is supposed to cover 20000 houses like 500 blocks of real estate? (Hyperbole I know)
The argument that a large grid is 'overwhelming' is flimsy and assumes that looking at a +map that is more than 10 square will brake a MUers feeble mind. My first MU had a fairly large grid and there was public RP all the time the fact that this is rare these days is more of a cultural shift than 'big gridz', not to mention we have +travel systems to get around.
This is a grid were planning to use for years, giving people room, and options isnt going to hurt anyone.
In the end, We Tried a 'small grid' and we didnt like it. Were going for bigger this time.
