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.

I think it’s about me so you’re probably safe.
But piggybacking off of this, I would pay good money for a system that would allow me to distinguish between:
- people who have been annoyed at me in the past but are fine with me now
- people who have been annoyed at me in the past and are still annoyed with me but are willing to RP with me
- people who want to avoid me in general
I know I have been on an attempted apology tour of late as I reenter the hobby, and I think sometimes it would be better to just try and come in under a new name, but that feels fundamentally dishonest. I don’t want to RP with people who don’t want to RP with me! But because people are generally polite, it can be hard to tell, especially without anything to rely on beyond text.
tl;dr I’m too autistic for this hobby
(And if I’m not the person you’re talking about, HF, sorry, but that sort of proves the point either way)
bird's still the word

Honestly, my biggest peeve is people who make decisions that get their characters in danger and rather than go along with it, they sort of like get frustrated at the consequences they get because “what else was my character going to do? Of course they were going to rage at the super evil and powerful mage! They are a rebel!”
Like the character isn’t real. You make the decisions. Own it.

@Rinel Oh, I knew it wasn’t about me, I haven’t had much time for MUs in a bit lol. I just was in the mood to post an office gift, sorry

@Smile “It’s what my character would do.” Then make a character who isn’t a fucking moron.
