I guess 80% sane is fine

Finding sane players for your descendants has got to be gaming on hard mode. I shudder to think about it.

I do not think these people know what encryption is.

So, Dune?

@Pavel lmao. What the fuck kind of game was this.

I’m going to have a bit of a whine about how I always speak professionally to others in the workplace but a lot of people don’t extend the same courtesy to me. It’s not that they’re rude, more that they’re ambiguous, can’t spell, and trail off with that Boomer ellipsis that makes them sound perpetually annoyed.

Where did their buttholes go? Is there a butthole thief?

A super icky experience for me was finding out the reason a player was so eager to slide into my DMs was so they could pre-seed the OOC conversation with lies. Before ever being caught.

But when they did get caught, things got extra deranged. Like, straight up wholecloth invention of things that never happened in the story or in DMs.

Kids are so funny.

My current mood:

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

This is so cruel. You can’t just tell us you have drama and then not deliver!

The game has been running for a while now and while new games tend to fizzle out and die I’d just like to give kudos to Silent Heaven for going strong and continuing to mature.

In particular I think the gamerunner has done a lot of work addressing and removing negative influences, and the community has never been such a welcoming and chill place to be.

@Rusalka I’m already on my way to the door when someone declares themself the bottleneck to all important developments - it’s obnoxious main character energy. Fuck 'em.

Ban drama aside, taking a stance that they don’t want players retconning what an established character was assigned at birth isn’t exactly “banning trans characters”.

I might’ve missed something but I didn’t see a rule that you’d get banned if you complained to anyone who isn’t staff, either.

Which MUSH banned trans characters???

Learned what unremitting means today. +1 to vocabulary.

@SpaceKhomeini I’m with you on that one. It’s “AI” in the same way that the Cleverbot of the late 2000s was “AI”. You know, that site that would save how users responded to its questions and regurgitate responses to other users, which is why it insisted it was human with so much indignation. AI is just the name we tend to give to the latest cool thing.

LLMs are just playing Guess The Next Word constantly. They can’t perform logic, or like… count things or do basic maths.

@hellfrog I think to me, the best amount of description/background/whatever is however much it takes to get the point across and not a word more. Sometimes you have people writing to a minimum word count because that’s the culture or they’re self-conscious and that’s when it can become a slog to read. All this could be avoided if they’d written “it’s a white t-shirt” instead of turning to chatgpt to fluff it up.

I play games where the RP is time sensitive. If someone flounces up to me with a description taller than my vertical monitor full of chatgpt-isms, I ain’t reading that shit. Got halfway through the scene once before we both realised she was buck naked.
