Fun fact, my work computer has gifs blocked so I couldn’t tell you what that picture is.

@junipersky If you’re talking about the one you just posted… popcorn
-
@junipersky I am laughing so hard right now and I am in the office, with not enough noise around me to mask my hilarity.
-
@junipersky so you? have no idea you just posted an ass eating gif? ilu
-
@junipersky This…escalated.

Fucking lol

@tsar I mean everyone looks like they’re enjoying themselves.
-
@helvetica yup
-
Have since looked on my phone and I see NO TONGUE ACTION. Just lips and butt. So butt kiss = butt kiss only.
All y’all with your dirty minds.

@junipersky There is chewing.

@junipersky No one said they were doing it well!

When you have to take a mental health break from a game because your life is in a bad enough place you don’t know if you have the fortitude to deal with the game’s atmosphere and then you’re in the shower the next morning asking yourself, Isn’t the fact that you need fortitude to deal with the game kind of a red flag?

@GF It’s something many of us forget at times. At the very least a game needs to be an overall plus in our lives, bringing with it more positives than negatives.
That applies to MU*, video games, forums… anything.

Agreed. And even if it is usually an overall plus, sometimes it just isn’t, and it’s perfectly okay to say to yourself “I had fun doing this, but now I am not having as much fun” and leave. Even if you’re responsible for something, or your participation is key in a future event, or whatever.
Your mental health and wellbeing come before your commitment to any entertainment pursuit.

@Pavel Also agreed.
One of the biggest issues in our hobby (and probably all gaming-related communities) is the sunk cost fallacy. “I’ve spent so much time in this, I can’t stop now!”
And it hits both ways.
Players stay in MU* they’re getting mistreated (or at least have little fun in).
But also players burning out overstay their welcome and become toxic or unpleasant to be around because they don’t want to quit well after they should have.

Feeling this so hard about a few different hobby-things right now. This should be every MotD.

@Arkandel That’s really true of life in general.
The comfort of a routine keeps us sucked in, even when we feel we’d be better off stopping a thing.
I stayed with MtG Arena and Hearthstone longer than I should have, because it felt… empty… losing that habit. A hole in my day.
A MUSH ending, or leaving a MUSH, I find has the same effect. It’s tough to quit a thing you’ve made a part of your life.
But being able to quit a MUSH that you’re not enjoying, or worse is actively stressing you, is a great thing.

@Polk You see it online all the time. People playing WoW for years and they are just so miserable, complaining about Blizzard, their fellow players, the gameplay, hating every second of it.
Like, dude. You don’t have to keep paying a subscription. Just… stop doing this to yourself.
But also, other people who might still be having fun don’t need to be told they are wrong.

For the past week, I’ve taken a break from developing Silent Heaven, but there’s someone who keeps nagging me day after day to hurry up and stop slacking: myself.
Wish I could get me to lay off me.

When you figure out how, let me know
