      @bear_necessities I’ve had that moment like three times myself, personally. I feel you.

      9 times in the last two hours?

          Baulders Gate and Genshin Impact are my peeves this month. Literally sucking all my attention from every single thing…

            Me. My peeve is me. My attention wanders and I leave folks waiting. Thankfully I mostly do async scenes, but I hate this part about myself.

            bird's still the word

                this type of personality is extra wild to me because it’s almost completely just about tone-deaf bragging. y’know, it’s actually more impressive to me when someone can easily navigate a system someone else has made, rather than listening to them improvise “improvements” that are likely more broken in the long run, or even just nakedly of benefit to the person suggesting them.

                There’s a post on r/MUD right now about a game I really don’t like and haven’t played in a decade.

                Having actually played it though, the post is baffling to me because it’s an endless list of complaints about systems that are honestly very normal. Like characterising a game-wide PvP event as “everyone is bullying me”. No man, it’s a PvP event, some people are into it, that’s who it’s for.

                It would be like if I joined an AresMUSH for the first time and immediately proceeded to complain about how people spend 90% of their time online OOC. Wow, no one cares about RP here. My immersion.

                In any context/culture, the inability to adapt/assess always smacks of entitlement and small-headedness to me. How does one go through life like that? ‘No, no, this grocery store is all wrong! The sweets are supposed to be at the front, not at the back! I must speak to the manager about this.’

                        Dealing with a clique and an abundance of main character syndrome is very exhausting. Can I have a nap?

                                  Sometimes I feel like the only person who doesn’t pose exactly what I’m wearing in every single scene, down to my socks and shoe laces. Please just assume I have clothes on. I am almost never going to think to pose them.

                                    @DrQuinn Yeah, I like having sensible defaults in a desc so I don’t have to do that every single time. 🙂

                                      I think the only clothing I do pose about is my socks.

                                        I like posing my character’s clothing because it creates consistency within the scenes that I share with repeated other characters, so when I change something, because of some story element, or because it’s an occasion, or whatever, it pops out.

                                        I have a character who tends to dress informally and in ratty punky attire; he has worn a suit once in like… four years. People noticed; the description in my pose popped out because they were expecting something else.

                                        Similarly, back on The Reach, I had a character who I always stressed when he was wearing something with his Alma Mater’s logo or something on it, and it became a whole meme.

                                        Now, do I make a whole PARAGRAPH out of what he’s wearing? Naw. A single sentence is more than enough. But I think how a person dresses says a lot. With women-presenting characters and male-presenting characters who cross dress is can be even more indicative since they have a broader choice for attire (skirts, dresses – long? short? – pants, jeans, pantsuits,. capris, etc).

                                        I dunno. I think what bothers people is when it’s long and purple and “look at meeeeee!” but when it only takes up a sentence or two, it can often add something, especially for people who RP with you repeatedly.

                                        In Occam I trust.

                                          @Coin It depends on the setting for me.

                                          Modern day stuff, where clothing/fashion is only important in certain sectors of society. I’ll probably write ‘dressed in blah and blah’. I pose my wyrdhold character’s pants, shirt, and sometimes her shoes for most scenes when I first pose in. And then forget about it until it becomes relevant again.

                                          Now, on a lords and ladies game were fashion has a large impact on perception and how you show off your wealth? I’ll go a little purple, and mention the clothing more in poses.

                                            @Cobalt I’m much the same, until some dumb motherlover takes a look at what my character’s wearing in a picture and assumes that’s what he’s wearing the entire time. No matter how many times I write that he’s in something else.
