My pillow fort involves a pillow and me being covered by a blanket with my head parked on said pillow. On a comfortable surface, ofc.

@dvoraen Is Among Us as fun to play as it is to watch people play?

Really depends on your lobby. I imagine I can dig up some of the clips from Arx folks’ shenanigans (after I get home) because there were some lolsy moments.

I think with people you know who won’t REEEEEE too much - I am kind of guilty of that but I tried not to show it - you can get some quality entertainment.

Me calling out chaos gremlins named @Meg and @Tez again:

@bear_necessities Me toooo, for playing there.

It was not my first game, tho.

@Solstice said in Missed Settings:

I’ve spent the better part of the last year utterly gobbling up everything in Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere (Stormlight Archives, Mistborn, Warbreaker, etc.) catalog, and I am so freaking sad that there don’t seem to be any Cosmere-based games.

Having an already-established world with a well-thought-out magic system that you can do tons of interesting things with?

It would so be my jam, right about now.

I have more than once seriously considered trying to make a RosharMU*, no lie, but I get extreme imposter syndrome from it.

(Plus wtb all the deets on Voidbinding and the Unmade, pst.)

@Jumpscare The db and ndb attributes are AttributeHandler objects, to my recollection, and it’s my understanding that using db in particular will automatically handle the database-serialization and synchronization for you. Which is why I feel like I’m forgetting something if move_to() invocation is what fixed the DI problem in question.

@MisterBoring said in Character Death:

you’d want to go with the Game of Thrones approach to death

So a wedding AND a funeral!

The funeral IS the wedding. And vice-versa. (In GOT.)

@Jumpscare Welp, I had the wrong definition of serialization in my head on top of that! So that didn’t help anything.

However, isn’t Evennia’s memory model for ORM supposed to also handle updating the database when you use the attribute handler? I feel like I’m missing something as far as the “disconnect” in location is concerned. I haven’t touched Evennia stuff in a while, so likely I’m forgetting something too.

@sao said in Character Death:

I love rping eulogizing a dead character. Non-sarcastic. I got a lot of practice at this and discovered I really enjoy it. Real characters are best, I also did a spider funeral at one point but that was for specific IC reasons and I had fun with that too.

I want a eulogy from Aureth now.

@somasatori said in Re: Dies Irae:

multiple deserialized calls to update self.db.location

I run a horror game, and that line is scarier than anything I’ve ever written.

I kind of need an ELI5 because I think I understand the scream-emoji worthy part, but I am not sure if I completely understand the nuance. Either way, WHY DESERIALIZED? (The all caps part is me going )

This entire thread (about the programming bits) is making me want to make Evennia utility modules you can just plug in (e.g., basic dice rollers, generic scheduler stuff), but I’m so out of the loop on things now and I don’t have time in the day to do this. ;.;

@tsar I promise it wasn’t me.

lol you aren’t banned

It wasn’t me either. I’m too muppet flail mode and focused elsewhere to sneak anywhere. Even at speed.

(I just wanted an excuse to mention a .)

@somasatori I’m 50/50 on whether L&L is the Unseen Fifth or the honorable mention.

I used this same GIF when someone mentioned it in Discord who has - as far as I know - no relation to MU*dom or this board at all. Caught me off guard.

@Pavel
I’m old! Gotta keep up with the kids lingo! In simplest terms, “You should play with me and not /them/ because I’m better at everything.”

Also “I’m not like other girls.”

yeah it’s an intensely sexist meme lol. i’m gonna side-eye anyone using it sincerely

Don’t forget the favorite response when called out:

“But I’m also one, so it’s okay if I use it.”

@somasatori I’m guessing this is basically a lockstring variant you’re using for filtering out the accessibility of these hints/mysteries/clues?

@Tez So what I am hearing is I should make puppy-eyes at Tehom to do this for Arx II. Over Aion knows how many months.

These are lying eyes and no one should trust them! Anyway, the real mini game should be a jumping puzzle. Everyone loves jumping puzzles.

Using ASCII-art minis that you created/painted?

@Warma-Sheen said in Re: Dies Irae:

I will say that in my time there, I never had much an issue with Scylla, personally, but I know others did. I think people have long memories in this hobby and reputations aren’t easily repaired, regardless of how you go about it. If anything, people just wait for a chance to use reputations and prior bad acts against you years/decades down the road. So sometimes, despite doing decent stuff in the present, you’re doomed to fail for your past mistakes and then… whatever you’re working on in the present goes down with it.

No one should ever make puppy-eyes at any coder for anything. If I want these things, I* will make them myself.

mmhmm

Anyway, you misunderstand. I’d be the implementer, seeking permission to put it in.

The argument: “Jayus would want us to BUILD THESE MINIGAMES.”
