@Pacha That’s interesting. I personally can appreciate someone showing politeness before asking for something, but it’s easy for that to come off as an attempt to butter me up. I think I’d generally prefer someone come to the point: at least that way, there’s no chance I’ll feel lied to about your intentions.

My pro strat: I just never try to page strangers. They’re scary!
That’s only half joking. The rare times I do want (and work up the courage) to contact a stranger for any reason it won’t be for something same-day. I’ll wait until they’re idle or offline and then contact them and like pitch a scene or a hook or whatever it might be, which kinda ensures the ‘leaving a message’ context so (hopefully) nobody’s going to offended by the lack of preceding small talk.
ETA: And then the 5 hour idle stranger immediately replies with “Sure do you wanna RP now?” and I panic and say “Oh no I was just about to log off but we should talk about this tomorrow bye!” <_<

It’s an insane struggle to find played-bys, art or actor, who can believably represent normal fucking people who aren’t megahot glamour models.

@Kestrel DOWN WITH PLAYED-BYS

if someone’s found my missing mojo, could you please return it? It’s been gone a really long time. I am peeved that I have all these ideas to write stuff and then the second I sit down to actually do it I’m like “eh” and do something else entirely.

I have the opposite problem. I’ve had several invitations to games since Arx closed. But in one instance, like, five people invited me to the same game all at once, including a friend of mine that I haven’t been on the same game with in a decade. I am so excited…
And I’ve got nothing. Literally nothing. My brain refuses to crap out even half a character idea and is instead over here going, “Aria! ARIA. You should build an Old Gods of Appalachia game and also this deranged dystopian mecha gladiator game I keep feeding you original theme for! Two games. Build two games! That is something that is entirely reasonable for you to do instead of having fun times with your friends.”

I want these two disparate concepts in the same game.
One game.
Both things.

Sorry, @Wizz , but I do not know what Robot Jox is.

I don’t think even my dipshit brain can concoct a way for it to simultaneously be 1927 in Definitely Not West Virginia with mines full of eldritch horrors and also the year 11989, where the god-executive (forever may he reign) has valiantly led the EternaCorp family for a myriad and each of our beloved customer-citizens has the opportunity to earn the his favor through glorious battle.

pure 80’s cheeseball flick that I love dearly. it was like the first American mecha, lol.
you’re next, ACHILLLLLEEEEEEEESSSS!
…also, not for nothing but I swear Cthulhu-dieselpunk with mechs and robots and stuff powered by occultism is already a thing? it rings a huge bell for me anyway, might be worth diving into DrivethruRPG for it if it really is appealing!

CRASH AND BURN.

@Wizz Good lord it’s been over a decade since I remembered Robot Jox. Core memory unlocked.
-
@SpaceKhomeini @Testament we can live…WE CAN BOTH LIVE
lmao. ahhh good times. it’s such beautiful schlock
and yeah @glitch that’s what I was thinking of!! not dieselpunk actually I guess but like, it wouldn’t be that hard to make it fit I don’t think.
-
@Aria When I’m needing to start two huge projects and not able to fit them both into my head, I simply tell myself that I’m starting four huge projects, then immediately back out of two of them. BAM. Instant relief.
Later on, I back out of the other two. But that’s just me. It could work for you.

This. This is where it’s usually at.
I call all of my unfinished ideas and projects “procrasti-creating”. I’ll just make 94% of this here baby blanket before I decide I need to go build this game I write five files for and then walk away from all in order to avoid whatever I should actually be doing, like “getting my shit together”, which doesn’t sound fun.

It’s barely a peeve, but it doesn’t seem appropriate for ‘good things’, either.
People are really just not as slick as they think they are, in general. I see you, buddy.
