Mention porn. Reading your char getting talked about in the logs of other folks. Love.

When you’ve got your brain-weasels going full-bore, and then someone reaches out about RP, and those nasty scratchy bitey things quiet down for a little bit.
[reaaaaaaaaaaaach]

Some of my friends are enabling me to use my law-adjacent knowledge to have a character with a fake lawyer persona in a setting that doesn’t even follow the US law system and it’s delightful mayhem.
-
I sometimes think that, for better or worse, I can’t possibly encounter people I’ve NEVER RP’d with anymore or shared game-space with. But sometimes I do, and not only are they new, they’re WONDERFUL, and that’s real nice.
-
Having people reach out to make background connections, and then seeing those background connections actually build and grow through the RP into story. I love it. 10/10 would recommend.
-
@Panic I realize we’re talking about totally different games but YES. I got some damn fine backstory angst~

I had a couple people reach out to me to make connections with my character on LA2043.
I was stupidly flattered by this.

1-click Ares Digital Ocean droplet. This is the the first time I have gone from nothing to being able to log into my own bit with nobody else intervening. I’ve ALWAYS flailed and decided I couldn’t do it before, and one of the very patient people in my world helped me. I did it this time though.
Those directions are so good! I wanted to fuss around with it a little bit, and now I can! -
@IoleRae -
Ooo I have a question about that as Digital Ocean was confusing me.
That cost is just $4 or like $4 a month plus some hour thing? I’ve not seen the per-hour displayed before.
-
@Whisky $4 a month is $0.0054757015742642 an hour. So it’s the same thing.
-
@Pavel - Well that’s what I thought but also displaying the per hour rate was throwing me off. Especially as it didn’t cover it in the FAQs.
-
@Whisky
-
@Pavel Ahhh that is what that meant! Thank you
-
Presumably, there’s something about high-intensity processes equalling more ‘hours’ on your bill… otherwise, how can you use your droplet for more hours than there are in a month?
-
That’s kind of where I got confused. If it was a hard cap, or if after you hit the cap performance takes a big it. Or it just goes down.

Many kinds of web applications on DO are on-demand, so they don’t need to be running for the whole month. You spin up a droplet, do some work, then delete it.
A MUSH needs to be running 24/7 so it’s easier just to think about it using the monthly rate.
FYI - for AresMUSH (and for most websites/wikis) you need the 2GB droplet, which is $12/month. That baby $4 droplet is good for advertising but can’t do much.
-
@Faraday Thank you very much and appreciate it. Was trying to find an ARES FAQ thread here and should have just made one to ask

Well. Not necessarily. I still remember the bad old days of having to hit evenings EST when a game would be up.
Am I old?

Am I old?Apparently? But I’m probably just as old so that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
With DO though you don’t stop getting charged when the thing is OFF, only when you delete the server completely. So a game that only runs a few hours a day would cost the same as one that runs 24/7.

BIG SCENES THAT GO REALLY WELL WITH A BUNCH OF COOPERATIVE FUN PLAYERS. eta AMAZING FUCKING STAFFERS.
Aaaaaaahhhh so good MUSHing thing. SO. GOOD.
