          But the text box is so limited in MMOs. That can’t be worth it.

            One time we made a MOO so we could rp our SWTOR guild without having to try and rp on SWTOR.

            let it be a challenge to you

              It’s actually not all that bad. Some games are more limiting than others as to what can be put in the text box, I know in FFXIV there’s a LOT of RP actually done in tells/whispers, probably more than is done in emotes and says because, fucking /spam/.

              Trying to have any continuity in say, The Quicksand on Matteus is going to be nigh impossible.

              Basically @IoleRae it’s mostly through the use of /emote commands to do poses to nearby individuals you are RP’ing with like any other game, mixed in with occasionally moving around and doing emits for visual acuity as well.

              Easiest way to get involved is to find an RP FC/Guild on whatever game you’re choosing. Near every MMO has RP guilds, even old school EverQuest.

                Thank you for the tips!

                I need way more handholding than normal people, but I found my patient soul. 😃

                  One day, I will log back into FFXIV and finish the game, honest. But like… still a sprout. And I have all these models to build, and Arx OC to plan…

                        I found this video really weirdly insightful into what hooks me in video games, particularly MMO’s.

                        I, uh, I have complex feelings about that.

                          Final Fantasy XIV devoured my life for a while, but I found myself really struggling through Shadowbringers. Eventually forced myself to reach Endwalker but I’ve found I just don’t care about the story anymore, and that’s the only reason I was playing. It’s a bit sad, especially because I absolutely adored everything they were doing in Heavensward, but maybe it’s for the best. It gives me time to play other games now, and read fanfiction, and all the other stuff I’ve been neglecting.

                          Like Payday 2! I bought that during the Steam summer sale and gosh was that money well spent. I’m not super good at it but it is such super ridiculous and goofy fun! I just need to wrangle more of my friends into playing it with me.

                            Across the Obelisk scratches much the same itch as Wildermyth. Very fun multi-player.

                                  FFXIV’s Endwalker is making me cry (good cry, good cry) about three times as much as it did the first time I went through it, and I was dealing with some pretty severe grief at that time (I will say that it was almost as helpful for dealing with said grief as my therapist was, iykyk).

                                  Knowing how it turns out seems to have INCREASED its emotional impact on me. I am amused. I think a significant portion of that is due to the increased attachment I have to the NPCs that got built the first time through. I’ve found a similar effect in earlier expansions (f’rex I really, really did not like Alisaie my first time through ARR; she did not even slightly irritate me the second time through).

                                      So I’ve got around 100 un-used Steam keys from various charity bundles from years ago (and maybe another 25ish keys that I’m not sure if I’ve already given to someone or not. I’m bad at keeping track of that stuff apparently) and I’d love to offer them up to ya’ll. I mean they’re probably mostly garbage I assume or I would’ve already taken them for myself, but there’s probably some gems that I already owned or just wasn’t interested in the genre of, or maybe just didn’t give enough credit to.

                                      Problem is, throwing up a list of 100+ games is gonna make for a massive wall of text. To say nothing of how impenetrable that kinda list of names will be when there’s no context or description to go along with any of the names. Like if I say I have a key for ‘Splotches’ that’s probably not going to mean anything to anyone unless they already have the game (Steam says it’s a puzzle game about exploding paint which… doesn’t seem much clearer…)

                                      So… does anyone have any bright ideas? Or dumb ones? Just ideas at all really would be great.

                                        So was in a similar position last year and wanted to give them to people, it took me a while to set-up but I made a Google Sheet with the following:

                                        946f68a1-c863-4144-93cd-929055f951ec-image.png

                                        Sadly couldn’t find a quick way of doing it except manually typing it in, reviewing what the game was, and adding a steam link. But was something mindless enough to do while watching something in the background. Plus once done, was easy to maintain.

                                        Current Projects:

                                          Hi folks! Breaking my lurker silence to highly recommend Outer Wilds. It’s difficult to describe, but is primarily focused on exploration, investigation/puzzle solving and is story driven. If you do end up giving it a shot, I strongly suggest not looking up detailed reviews, synopses or spoilers. It’s way more fun to experience with no knowledge going in.

                                          Seconding this one. It’s an amazingly fun game.

                                          These recommendations were enough to give me a try.

                                          Just finished. What a masterpiece.
