Sometimes I think we don’t deserve the little critters that let us love them and care for them. We need them more than we’ll ever understand.

@Testament Your friends are good people and are entirely right in suggesting you go be a player for a while. Also, a vacation from writing and planning and game running and even playing is a completely beautiful thing to do. The muse will thank you for giving her time off.

Got to talk to Jill this week. Three times. Time to make chars with more masculine names.

@Kestrel Sometimes people come around and understand that they’re being a dick, but too often, I have distanced myself from such people, for you have to know, if that is their SOP, to shit-talk people behind their back, they are doing it to you too. Even if you’re trying to run interference for them.

It sucks. Sometimes they’re really good roleplayers, it’s such a loss when there are terrible people behind the characters.

@Pax And there’s been a shortage of spoons the past 3-4 years. Something something supply chain issues.

@helvetica I can relate to this. I’m 50. I started mushing at 20, when I was immortal, infertile and insomniac. Stay up til 3 am and still get to classes with bows on? Damn skippy!

Now? I can’t stay up that late and function at work. All of my friends, new and old, seem to be up at all hours, like the good old days… and stuff’s happening while I sleep. Hate that feeling of being left behind.

@Cobalt That’s horrible. Always with the bad apples spoiling it for the rest of us.

@Cobalt I have told some that it’s okay to go have a good cry. Get it all out. They’ll feel better. And if they aren’t feeling better afterwards, perhaps they should reconsider playing on that particular text-based game.

@catzilla If there’s one thing I think all coders have run into, it’s a missing/extra thing, and beating one’s head against the wall trying to figure out why the code isn’t working properly…

Then the hole you make in the wall after you find that damned thing… xD

One of my favourites from Tenebrae involved a party running into a few Kytons. One of them attempted to use a fear power on my Goblin, named Murder, a bloodrager. She made her save, and the kyton said, “Oh, this one is small AND stupid.” Well she saw red, and those kytons all died. Still giggle about it to this day.

@Kassien I’m glad you kept at this, all this time.

@Third-Eye I dunno about chargen, but on the fly pose editing in the webportal is amazing!

@ten Playhero, we read it for the articles. XD

@ten I get that smut happens… but this is a mush specifically for superhero smut?

[Newbie] Guest1 (#10185) just logged into the game for the first time.
