I may be wrong to assume this site is anti-Nazi/etc.

SO!

Pet peeve, when the CWOD discord server you’re on decides to open a politics channel and you see not only the host of the server refuse to say they’re anti-Nazism but also a bunch of people supporting Nazism in the server… 😞 Many sads that there’s still people clinging to all that nonsense in the RP world.

It’s en vogue now.

@Arkandel

i get unhappy when things are not about me???

I almost hesitate to say this, and it’s not aimed at specific people, but it’s fact that there is a heavy Shang/Pen element to the occasional influxes that keep boosting AoA and the tolerance for sexual harassment is almost certainly higher within the “new community”.

The community that built back up on AoA in 2017-2018 was not largely drawn from sex mushes. There’s a reason so many people left in 2023, many of whom likely had not personally experienced harassment. The old community and new community have very different characteristics.

When someone you hero-worshipped as a child turns out, 30 years later, to be into some of the conspiraciest of conspiracy theories.

@Arik No idea!

My work informed me today that they figured out how to deal with one of our major issues at work, and in doing so, are throwing work/life balance in the trash.

I don’t know if this is from a generative “AI” or not (but some parts strongly suggest yes), but I had to get @tsar to see this as the resident expert on 🐌s.

This is screen-snipped from one of my Discords, and even if it’s fake it made me lol/happy.

@somasatori whhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Nooooo

Just yesterday I said I was impressed that Liberation was going strong after its rough start.

The recent alarm seems like the general slowness that happens this time of year. To compare, I only ran about 3 events during the entire holiday season on Silent Heaven, when I usually do at least 2 per week. I suspect things will gradually pick up as the solstice grows further behind us.

@Rathenhope said in AI Megathread:

two potential clients (the biggest we’d have) both went “we consider any use of AI to be high risk and we don’t want client information anywhere near it”

Just casually send me the names of these clients so I can get our CEO to try and sell to them, I really want to see that metaphorical ice bucket tipped all over him when he hears that.

@Artemis There’s a group of us that’s adapting DnD rules into a post Second Reckoning campaign. One friend is doing a small module to apply to Arx and I’m creating a longer campiagn that’ll probably take place five years after putting Azazel back into his box.

Will it be the same? Nah.

Will it be fun? Probably.

@MayorMccheez The ‘went to headstaff’ bit was news to me.

I’m just saying that getting a nice present in the post can be a creepy thing and pointing out that it was a nice and not creepy present doesn’t change this possibility.

Honestly, we’re more friendly than friends. We’re not close. I had fun RPing with him. I would play with him again. I’m not on Retro, and a major reason for that is that there are players and staff there where my experience has been that they do have habits of being manipulative, gatekeepy, mean, dishonest, and likely to smear-campaign others. So that happening here seems plausible to me.

I was holiday-ing, but it looks like the wonderful Terminus has replaced the stolen writing with a placeholder in my absence.

To confirm, this is an OC, and the character has yet to be submitted for approval or anything, but if this desc makes its way back, even with tweaks, the app will be declined with explanation.

If you’d like, @Roz, I can forward this player your rates for autographs 🙂

@Meg & @dvoraen If you both like PEAK, I would also recommend RV There Yet?, which is basically PEAK + chainsmoking + getting an RV to the top of the mountain.

I have watched a few people play it, but it seemed like the kind of game that would make me rage quit. lol

It’s the ideal game for therapists to play instead of doing our notes. Lots of clinically inadvisable langage, do recommend.

I am but a week away from getting a computer capable of running baldur’s gate 3. Once I make sure the machine is actually going to work I’m going to buy it on steam. I cannot wait to play this game. I’m old and about to die so I’m going to spend the last few years of my life acting like I’m 14.

Pigeon Too Fat To Fly

There was nothing special or secret about the pigeon. This just reminded me of it.

Wait, you all read the books?
