I like meat. I //REALLY// like meat. I have cut back some on meat.
I like Carbs... I have cut back 99% of all carbs.
Veggies are... okay? I am eating a lot more of those.
Keto is hard, and i stumble,41103
2. but can be delicious.
Edit: My kitty says hi, (by stepping on my number keys) she demands treats. if she could eat nothing but treats, she would.
@Testament The squishy goop is!
@Ghost It came rolled up, and yes it did expand... it also weighs like 200lbs
But it is comfy as FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
In non satanic news, my new Purple mattress is heeeeeeeeeeeeeeere.
@Ghost
The Satanic Temple has seven fundamental tenets:
One should strive to act with compassion and empathy towards all creatures in accordance with reason.
The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
One's body is inviolable, subject to one's own will alone.
The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo your own.
Beliefs should conform to our best scientific understanding of the world. We should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit our beliefs.
People are fallible. If we make a mistake, we should do our best to rectify it and resolve any harm that may have been caused.
Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.
The Satanic Temple are my hero's, Hooray religious freedoms.
@Tyche @Ghost Giardia did a similar thing to me, but out of a different hole. The day you ask your wife to pick you up some adult diapers so you can take a nap between living on the toilet without the risk of crapping the bed... is a humbling day. But i totally lost like 15+ pounds in those weeks.
@Ganymede Hey baby, you wanna be my 'egregious treat'
@Ghost We're jsut standing there waiting to be seated with a pizza box pretzel, which there was no casual and subtle way to hold.
Like 'Yup, Endgame is 3 hours we might starve to death.' I just wanted to buy my wife a damned soft pretzel,, but NoooOoo, we need 'Bites' and 'fuckit I'm dying of a heart attack at 42 anyway' instead of the simple fucking normal sized soft pretzel.
@Ghost Oh shit, this reminds me.
So my wife likes big pretzels, you know soft ones with the big chunks of salt that can comes with garlic and mustard and are basically classic foods.
Well the AMC suddenly stopped carrying them and instead offered 'pretzel bites' which just aren't the same so she has been disappointed in theatre going lately because thats her 'treat'
Last time we went there they had the 'bites' and something called the 'Bavarian Giant' or something, and they warned us it was 'big'.
No, it wasnt big, IT CAME IN A FUCKING MEDIUM SIZED PIZZA BOX WITH A TUB OF NACHO CHEESE.
This pretzel could feed a family with 5 kids.
WTF WHY?! Why would you sell this as a 'snack to see a movie'?!
@Ghost That sounds like a movie theatre that respects it's customers... we dont believe in that around here. Unless its the super fancy dine in ones that'll charge you 3x normal for a little extra food and booze.
@Auspice I will try to remember this... Alamo?
@Ghost said in Incentives for RP:
@Wretched What's Arcade, pressshus?

That is what i am basing the idea on, but with MOAR (including something I am currently calling the 'Soap opera Ressurection' the idea of which would be to use an alternate currency to bring back a 'dead' character. I mean, its a thing in almost all the related media, the Winchester Brothers, etc. Prolly not applicable to PVP (but nothing entirely ruled out), but might encourage more Risk of established/loved PC if bad dice didn't mean permanent loss. Earn tokens, spend them, and instead of dying from falling off that train, you return with a cybernetic arm and some manchurian brain damage, or some other fun and improbable scenario. But thats a whole other conversation.)
@Sunny The idea of trading tickets is interesting, I was more thinking of the objects you could by themselves. Like a Gewgaw or trifle costing like 4 tickets or whatever (with an idea of a randomizer vending machine that only costs 1 but its random and might not even be from your sphere, but totally tradable or cool to add to an IC esoteric museum of some sort), but direct trades seem interesting too. Semi Related is Our Resources and Crime stuff
@Auspice said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:
Seriously, pro tip: don't ask an older sibling to 'give up their birthday.' They will, out of love for the younger sibling, but it sucks and eats away at them. I know it did for me and anyone else I've ever met who got similar treatment felt the same.
Oww right in the feels. Grew up poor, brotherds 8 and 10 years younger than me. Of course I was okay with my brothers getting more toys, of course i knew 'christmas was for the kids' I mean sure i was still in highschool, struggling with my family not understanding or approving of anything i was interested in and actively forcing me to take classes i didnt want because 'drafting was more practical than drawing and you use a pencil and paper so its the same thing in the end'.
So yeah, getting a 5 dollar candle holder you pointed out while your mom was gathering crafts hoarding supplies at Cost Plus and 20 bucks when yer 15 while your brothers rake in piles 'because yer so grown up more, we totally love you equally'
Ahem. Them feels.
So, what Fates harvest does (and what we are using a version of for Miami) is both Xp and Arcade Tickets. Xp has a weekly cap and it's fairly easy to reach with minimal staff interference. Once said cap is reached for the week, you instead earn an alternate currency that can be used for a variety of other things.
I like this, because well, i've had more than a little experience with XP going awry. When people go 'Oh Wretched, it's only a +1, Its just another +1, it's just another +1. And then one PC has 1500 xp because headstaff gets burnout and another staffer decides to do all the XP jobs for members of their own IC RP group and it derails the entire games XP system.
Not that i'm bitter.
I am generally with the 'I am in this hobby to be in this hobby' and I really hate xp based incentives, because it always starts out as 'oh its just a minor thing'. and then 'well you allowed that minor thing, why not this minor thing'.
So, alternative currency, maybe use it to play an antagonist for a specific time and plotr, to skip[ PRP justifications, to create a side economy of trifles and gewgaws and other limited one use items from across the spheres. Cash in for a personal plot about your past. Theres a lot of ways to use an alternate currency that isnt directly related to inflating your character's stats more.
