You can access it here.

My answer to the optional last question was “hire a regular person to try and read your books before you publish them.” But mostly I just want that job for myself.

Man, when I staffed their game servers, I volunteered for that job and they still wouldn’t let me do it. Not even just proofreading. Don’t worry! They have an editing service…

Then they published a book with a typo in the fucking title.

@Aria Ooo, TY.

I was reading OP’s reddit AMA the other day and the business decisions Paradox is making with their licenses didn’t surprise me, but did disappoint me. Paradox seems to be leaving a lot of lines dead in the water, presumably to avoid cannibalizing their own base for other lines. Gotta streamline those business efficiencies and maximize your gainz.

I’m still waiting for Bloodlines 2 goddamn it. I don’t know what all happened with the development of that game, but it was supposed to be out years ago.

Then you should read the devlogs.

Random and all, but man. I miss crafting stuff. Crafting for like actual players. Ironically, maybe, I absolutely abhor crafting in video games.

FEAR my latest brain distraction squirrel idea. OR be excited. Maybe both

My new peeve: buying a fancy new mechanical keyboard with nice clicky keys and not having the free time or energy to actually sit down and put it through it’s paces on a MU.

Tez

@MisterBoring What kind of clickies

MisterBoring

@Tez I got a Keychron C2 with brown switches. My old keyboard died when I was rearranging my office and I accidentally dropped my paperweight on it. If I had the money, I probably would have gone for something slightly more pricey, but the C2 will work for now. If I had the money, I might have gone for the Q6 or maybe a Unicomp New Model M.

Tez

@MisterBoring I have brown switches on my split keyboard that I use every day but my faaaavorite switches are the extremely clicky ones. Like. Extremely. Very. Click clack. These are easier on my hands though.

Are you ever reading a log or something and start thinking to yourself wow I should give up RPing so these amazingly talented individuals need never stumble over my dramatic nonsense ever again? Just me???

Some of you are just like TRULY GIFTED writers and I admire you so much!

YES THIS IS STILL A PEEVE.

Pavel

@Tez I am fully willing to suffer early onset arthritis (yes, early onset, fuck you) for the sake of clicky clacky clunky.

@Floof maybe you were reading your own rp
maybe you just don’t RECOGNIZE yourself

Tez

@Pavel lmfao big mood. I keep thinking about moving my box whites onto this keyboard. I miss my old keyboard. it was so cute. And clacky.

Pavel

@Tez I got myself one of those very very old school IBM keyboards. It’s older than… Okay not us but probably some people.

Tez

@Pavel oh my GOD my ENVY

The sound they make. The feel.

Pavel

@Tez It also counts as a +2 magical bludgeoning weapon.

hellfrog

being bummed out

MisterBoring

@Pavel Is it an original Model-M, or one of the newer clones, like the Unicomp?

@somasatori I just had my first Jill encounter over on Age of Alliances! I was so excited! Paged me right out of the blue.

Guest (G1) pages: I think my most awkward RL experience was getting check ups from a doctor in my high school as part of the tryout for joining sports
You paged Guest with ‘Jill! Hello!’
You paged Guest with ‘I wondered if it was you!’
Guest (G1) pages: oh hey. sorry, I didnt remember talking with you
You paged Guest with ‘We haven’t! This is the first time.’

Sadly she vanished right after that. It was like encountering a cryptid in the wild.

Tez

@Lemon-Fox I want that one blog that was doing MU interviews to interview Jill. JILL PLEASE. WE JUST HAVE QUESTIONS.
