      @Third-Eye You can always feel free to call me a motherfucker if you want. There’s a caveat to our basic respect rule that excludes me, specifically.

        The pearl-clutching about ‘bad language’, especially from folks with certain post histories, is really something to see, not gonna lie, but it reaches such heights of tone-deaf hilarity I can’t even be mad about it.

        I personally interpret prohibitions against bad language as instead being a demand for obeisance. Like, remember the milkshake panic three or four years ago where people would throw milkshakes at shitty politicians, and the political class in general acted like throwing a milkshake was as bad as the sum total of every bad act the milkshake was meant to protest because it’s not civil and respectful?

          I’ve been a pretty long-time lurker on MSB, logging in occasionally just to see if a new game got advertised (increasingly rare), and I must say that it’s a good thing you had a split. Also the people who make new games tend to get run off for various reasons. Not sure how much of a fan I am of that.

          This is something that has concerned me, as well. If I have any ‘hopes’ for this board, it involves the Helping Hands subforum, and that there will be room for people to talk about interesting ideas without having those ideas instantly shot down by people who have very specific ideas of how MU*s ‘should’ work and are all too gleeful to talk about how trying anything else is doomed, DOOMED and will never survive.

          It’s something that I’ve heard game designers and potential game designers talk about for years and when people are already considering putting hours and hours of work into something, having a bunch of people all too ready to pour buckets of cold water on any idea that isn’t exactly like five hundred games that have gone before is very discouraging.

            @Pavel Motherfucker is so crude and low brow. Insults should be more interesting such as calling someone a pillock or cockalorum.

              @Pyrephox I know that after a break-up, there’s a period where a person defines themself by their opposition to the ended relationship, and that’s natural and fine. I’m really hoping we start to develop a more positive identity soon, though, by which I mean defining ourselves in terms of what we’re for rather than whom we’re against.

                  I’ve done some pretty wacky stuff, like run a Werewolf: the Forsaken 2e game over the fediverse. So I’m definitely in agreement, people get way too attached to their ideas about how things ought to be especially with respect to pretendy fun time elfgames on the computer.

                    This really does summarize my basic philosophy of life. Except that every day is Taco Tuesday.

                      @TNP “Mitch McConnell’s Necrotic Left Tit”?

                        @crawfish I would’ve said Mitch McConnell’s Undulating Turkeyneck.

                                Okay so seriously, why is Ganymede having this “Burn Them All”-tier ban-fest? Am I missing something here? I don’t get it.

                                      I also retract my statement about it being arbitrary. Derp is incredibly skittish of women with opinions.

                                            I said ‘if you think those bans were all justified, you might as well ban me too, you cowards’

                                            … more or less, that’s what I meant, they banned me before I could go back and clarify with the edit button. They count it as me requesting to be banned, whatever. Except they said requesting to be banned is no longer a thing they allow. And yet, behold. I am still banned.
