I may be wrong to assume this site is anti-Nazi/etc

The only Nazi we allow is a grammar nazi, and they’re on thin fuckin’ ice.

@catzilla I think the recent banning post indicates the general community stance on that.

@helvetica Fabulous. Then please avoid the ‘Classic World of Darkness’ Discord server for now. The server owner decided to open a political channel and refuses to state their political aligning.

@bear_necessities This is extremely relatable.

When I got back into MUing ~4 years ago, my youngest was an infant and it felt really nice to have a hobby I could do during naps that also required me to use my brain a little bit. So my days weren’t 100% babies and toddlers and the occasional scrap of conversation with my husband in between a JOB. Now that the kids are older (albeit still little), family life has become more FUN, and there’s more fun things to do at home.

It feels like a natural progression though. I’m nostalgic for marathon RP and constant activity. I’m also happy with my current balance.

In my case I’m not sure if I’m nostalgic for that per se or if I’m nostalgic for the person I was and the life I had when those things were the norm.

LOL I still like to RP.

Also other things, but I don’t think it’s inhibiting my life. I go in and out of it, like most hobbies.

I have spent the longest time away from being active on a game than I ever have in like 30 years of being in the hobby! That isn’t to say I haven’t tried or dipped my toe in (and nothing happened to cause it, I did have fun where I dipped in!) Part of it is starting my dream job, but honestly I think some of it is that I take a med that is amazing (pretty much obliterated all my chronic illness stuff!) but now there’s an understanding that it affects satiety in a big way. I find I don’t crave the rush or busy-ness of a super active MUSH schedule, which filled a lot of that needing to keep my super bouncy mind active to be happy. I totally get being nostalgic for marathon RP and constant activity, it was one of those ways I kept my happiness meter charged for most of my adult life! Now I don’t need to do quite so many things to get that same nice feeling of contentment.

I do think if I found the right paced game that had the people I like in it, I might pick up again, but I’m also okay waiting for that too. I just find the last few places I’ve tried the pace was a little fast for me and I couldn’t keep up. The nice thing is that I wasn’t stressed out about that like I normally would fret at not being able to keep up.

So anyway. I do miss my RP partners, I’m glad I can see what people are up to here, and keep up with what’s going on so if I do wanna dip in I can. I’m sure I will at some point, but I’m also pretty sure it’s probably not going to be on a high stakes or fast paced game again!

SO!

Pet peeve, when the CWOD discord server you’re on decides to open a politics channel and you see not only the host of the server refuse to say they’re anti-Nazism but also a bunch of people supporting Nazism in the server… Many sads that there’s still people clinging to all that nonsense in the RP world.

It’s en vogue now.

A request being “forgotten” for nearly half a year. Then going to a different game with completely different people and getting “forgotten” about again.
