Good things in Mushing
-
Connecting and reconnecting with people
-
I saw a tweet today about the historic MUD genre and laughed.
I think people don’t know that we’re still around.
-
@Kestrel I was there for this groundbreaking development in online fuckery and even friends, of a sort, with Mr_Bungle, and quite good friends with the guy who responded to the whole thing by coding objects so you could text-assault people anywhere on the MOO with a two-word command.
We are historic indeed.

Getting past inertia/nerves and just reaching out to ask people if they want to RP
-
Seeing friends who were mistreated on other games go on to start their own creative projects, and join staff teams where their labour is appreciated & admired, gives me immense contact joy.
-
made my whole gd night.
-
when a character is just really clicking
-
Watching players dive hard into not just exploring plot stuff, but also running stuff in order to tie into metaplot you’re real excited about is so fucking fun.
-
Non-specific but I’m having a lot of fun lately! Things are chill, I can find RP when I want RP, people are friendly and talented and give as much as they take.
Novel idea that a hobby is relaxing and fun, I KNOW.
-
I’m having fun RPing when I can cram it in, accepting the new forms it’s taking.

Having a really good night of storytelling on your game where reveals are dropped, shit hits the fan, and you’re getting multiple reactions of “ohhhhhhhh shhhhhhiiiiiit” while your game-running partner is getting their justified praise.
Occasionally this hobby is really fun.

When you open a random scene with an absurd premise, and everyone who ends up joining is 100% on the same page and fully committed to ‘yes, and’-ing to compound the absurdity, resulting in multiple actual laugh out loud moments.
-
An idea so ridiculous, so absurd, so utterly batshit insane that you don’t even seriously suggest it because you assume no one’s going to go in on it…and they go in on it.
-
This is a double edged sword when your plot runner starts taking your joke NPC name suggestions seriously and you end up with a villain whose name is ‘Stephyn with a y because the y makes it fantasy’
-
@spiriferida better or worse than when your plot runner doesn’t ask you for NPC name suggestions and accidentally names three different NPCs Aaron
let it be a challenge to you

@ham I’M FROM THE WOODS.
real ones will know.

@sao IT WAS ONE TIME
-
@sao Me reading the one spelling as ‘Air-un’, ‘Aye-ron’ and ‘Uh-run’.
