Why do I feel like I am reading a homework assignment from doomer accelerationist kindergarten

@labsunlimited Can you imagine how cool he felt writing that, dick in his hand, Dread up on a TOR browser so he can feel like a badass hacker when it’s really just Reddit for losers

@Faraday Point absolutely taken. This conversation has, in a rare instance that I can’t recall seeing on the internet in many years, changed my understanding and stance on this.

I’d honestly take three months of good RP over a game that drags on and on past its expiration date

@bnuuy That’s rich coming from a guy who makes multiple socks on a MU forum to upvote himself.

@NotSanni Ten bucks says this is the same guy who did this sad display a few weeks ago. This is totally alpha job-having behavior.

Seanan McGuire? Really?

How did I not know this lore? Fuck. I love her books, but the more I think about it, the more her October Daye series feels like stolen MU logs for the first few. The entire tone and scope of the story changes wildly after like book three.

@NotSanni Oh, for sure.

@Pavel There’s not even internal consistency, forget about citations.

@Pavel I think it’s part and parcel. The overinvestment is both one of time and emotional connection. You see it in LARP as well – when people choose the imaginary life and identity over their real one, you get the recipe for Chernobyl-caliber meltdowns.

@dvoraen Even if it is in their favor, it’s still a day that is deeply mixed because of the pain and trauma that is associated with it. Every adoption is a broken family, even if it’s in the best interest of the child. There is no adoptee without adoption trauma, and the same goes for natural parents, even those who voluntarily gave up their parental rights. It absolutely is a special day for their family, and also it is one that likely comes with other emotions as well.

@Prototart “saddest people in the entire universe”?

I was going to make a New Jersey joke, but upon reflection, Atlantic City would make a great setting. Lots of class issues, places for things to hide…

@Jumpscare There was that shifter game set in Wyoming

@Redbird Man, have I got some Pucci stories from back in the day

@Redbird

As in the official tabletop system, or?

rofl apparently i’d learned and asked about this before and forgotten about it, as i discovered when i searched. my b.

Oof

I recently finished the most recent October Daye book and a friend mentioned that the first few books were basically just lifted from some WoD MU back in the mists of time. It’s my favorite brain candy series and if anyone here played with her, I’d really love more info on what was lifted, the characters and events in their original contexts, that sort of thing. I just started a reread with this in mind and I’m trying to see if I can spot things that are glaring. No real reason, the exercise is just tickling my brain.

@Jennkryst said in Missed Settings:

There was that Legally Distinct Not-Really Zombies game set in Canada where people got infested with worms instead of your usual virus and/or Last of Us Fungus. But it was tricksy.

Tricksy how?

For my own contribution, I would love to see a Dystopia Rising MU. I loved the hell out of that LARP when I was young and could run around the woods all night.
