MU Peeves Thread

Given how I laid this scenario out with A being hostile and and combative towards B, its pretty fucking weird to swoop in and rewrite it to make B the villain as if you expect me to slap my forehead and realise “egads, you’re right! James was the villain after all”.
You know Charlotte and James are interchangeable names in this scenario, right? What do you want me to do, swap this anonymized name with that other anonymized name? The only possible reason I could think of for this bizarre conversation is that you think you know who Charlotte is and have taken some sort of offense to it, so you’re leaping to her defense to vaguepost about how she’s NOT THE REAL BULLY, ACTUALLY.
Like why the actual hell are we having this conversation.

@Juniper It has taken me longer to learn how to. But, yknow, at some point we all get wise or die…

But this is my emotional support self-doubt-and-loathing burnout!

I guess the problem I’m noting here is that on a lot of smaller-to-mid-scale games, it’s not incredibly easy to avoid someone. Particularly if they’re well-connected.
I woke up feeling so good, I think I’d better call in sick/ I need a personal trainer to help me hold my drink
I plan to be spontaneous next time we meet/I’m putting off procrastinating until next week
I’ll get onto it when I give a shit -
More a self-peeve than a MU-peeve, but when you take a long break from the MU* world because life gets busy and you really want to come back but you sit and wonder how you ever had time for the MU* world at all before. It is amazing how when you set aside one thing, twelve other things take its place.
All this to say - I miss RPing and this community. The end.
-
@SpaceKhomeini I’ve recently left games because of this. Life is too short and stressful to deal with that shit right now. Byeee!

We miss you too.

Connection issues. My specific ISP having intermittent issues with one specific game. I’ll never be able to diagnose this.
-
Me too, and it’s specifically DNS resolution in my case.

When you’re stupider than your PC which can cause some issues, but you hope people like your RP anyway.

@mietze Mood. Playing a character with high perception and missing some very basic things makes me feel such shame.
-
I seem to swing between periods of little to no RP which make me deeply unhappy and periods where I just wall-to-wall RP myself right into 3 days of migraines and it’d be great if I could just…even that out somehow.
-
@Snackness I feel this. Or in some cases, you don’t RP for months. I haven’t RP’d actively since this summer and I’m sitting in this weird place of missing RPing but also…not missing it?
Like at this point, I’d rather just ask a couple of mush friends if they just want to do online TT.

I spread myself across several games with a feast of rp to do and then i got sick and got eaten by work and now I’m behind in every conceivable area of life lol
-
I feel that. Was finally able to eat solid food at dinner tonight for the first time since last Saturday. And of course now dreading logging back in to disappointment (yes I know its stupid and nobody really minds but its what plays in my head).
The nasty ass sore throat virus going around (its not covid, flu A or B, or rsv!) Is awful. Still can’t talk and still don’t feel great but I think it’ll improve now that I can have real food instead of protein drinks.
Why is it so hard to get back in the saddle when everyone gets punched in the face sometimes so its not like people don’t know what its like.

There’s nothing more I enjoy than dealing with MU* staff that non-subtly hate their job and start delivering pronouncements about theme as if I’m a complete fucking dumbass when this shit isn’t even written down in a game’s help files.
In fact, I’ve dealt with so many staffers like this over the years that it begs the question:
If you hate doing this so much, why are you doing it? It’s not like there’s a paycheck involved.

@SpaceKhomeini This is why documenting stuff is a big deal to me. The ‘common knowledge’ people always have about theme, commands, whatever is not ‘common knowledge’ to a new player, sometimes even long term players. These ‘common knowledge’ stuff are not easily remembered either. Games that do not document the important information (whatever they might consider important) are starting to become a deal breaker for me. Not there yet since it would basically have me on no games since the majority do not do the best at documenting.
-
Keeping knowledge well-documented is kind of a losing struggle for most projects and organizations I’ve seen, I guess (it’s me! I’m part of the problem!).
Our entire knowledge base at work is in a sloppy unstandardized OneNote. If we can’t get it right when we’re being paid to, well…
So I get it, I’m incredibly easygoing about a lot of stuff and this in particular. All I’d wish for is a little softpedaling the communication in a scenario where things have to be adjusted due to game systems or setting with something like this : “hey, sorry, this hasn’t been clearly documented and we’re working on it, but can you adjust your +job accordingly?”
And a little less “hey noob” tone.
Anyway, this is all rather petty. I’m petty.

@SpaceKhomeini
Is there a link to the thematic stuff/correction you’re talking about?
