EA officially shutting down BioWare, among other layoffs.

Been a rough decade for them, writing has probably been on the wall for a while, but still sucks to see them go. Still gonna revisit Mass Effect’s grave every now and then.

There’s something really funny about imagining someone AFK/timing out from the PC’s perspective. Your vampire friend just goes dead silent for half an hour, then suddenly screams and sprints out of there.

@Apos Might’ve been answered before but I’m a bit slow - are there still going to be roster characters or is this all OCs?

@Roz maybe enough time has passed that the people have invented banjos

@Apos Halfway through this turned into a Bloodborne narration in my head and I am buzzing.

dang, gonna have to remember how to set up a MU client.

@Roz 5’9" character over 30 years old. Playing on the hardest difficulty.

Our house got struck by lightning and it bricked the modem, a work computer, and the PlayStation.

“Did you have a surge protector?”
Yes all of it was, unfortunately it was against the power of Zeus.

Dropped my PlayStation off at a local repair shop. The store was broken into and it was stolen.

@Ominous I’m not entirely sure but I’d guess maybe 2-3 years? Interestingly not everything plugged into it got fried. The PS5’s innards were destroyed but the TV and everything else hooked into it survived. All of our CO2 alarms went off at once too but I’m pretty sure they’re alright.

I mean either way if I had to bet on a plug or 1.21 gigawatts, the odds are not in our favor.

I kinda just have trouble with the Dragon Age series in general. Played all of them except Veilguard on launch. Origins skyrocketed to my favorite game when it first came out, then Dragon Age 2 was a big shift away from all that. Inquisition was a huge game that made you do a lot of MMO-esque grinding to get to the good stuff.

Just feels like the games have been struggling to get a concrete identity on how they’re played for so long. I want it to be good, it’s a really cool world. I’m just hesitant.

I love y’all. Stay safe.

jury duty.

@MisterBoring yea I’m reaching the point where even 20s feel like babies.

update: everyone else was doing it and I wanted to be involved

Therapist told me they’re resigning today. Next month I’ll have had my fourth new therapist in 4 years.

It’s not their fault at all. I just can’t help but feel frustrated at having to rebuild trust from square 1 so many times. And on an irrational level, I worry that going through so many doctors means I’m a problem that keeps failing to be resolved.

I’ll be fine eventually. I just don’t feel okay right now.

Victus used to be a paladin in Silver’s guard. His soul was sworn to the Sentinel to fight the Abyss. Had a neat cameo as his past self guarding the hierophants and druids to seal the Gyre originally. That’s about it for secrets that aren’t open, as thralldom and the Nightstar were both pretty obvious.

Daemon was a Cardian spy sworn to Sangular who faked his death and morphed into Modi.

Modi was also a Cardian spy for Sangular. He found an unhatched egg during an expedition to Cardia and carried it around like his own child.

Oh heck, the meteors aren’t a joke this time?

In all seriousness; I’ve had some of the most creatively fulfilling times of my life on Arx and met a lot of fantastic people who I hope to be friends with for a long time yet.

I’m really glad I could take the plunge with this as my first MU* experience. I wish I hadn’t been floundering these past few months to the point that I’ve completely lost the plot (HA) but I’m still excited to see where the end of all roads take us.

Looking forward to dipping into the sequel when the day comes, I know a time skip has been chatted about for ages now and seeing it in action has me plenty hyped already.

Haha whoops, forgot to ever post one of these, hey cool kids.
