I vaguely recall someone asking a game to fully delete every scene that they had participated in from their history and just rewrite the story as if those events never occurred when they got bored and quit.
This was maybe a decade ago and I can only remember the game was sci-fi in theme, maybe a cyberpunk style game.
People are silly sometimes.
@Rusalka This reminds me of a LARP I attended where one character was mute, only spoke through texting people or by drawing / writing messages on his iPad, and was constantly trying to make a connection with a faction that were all luddites to the last person and refused to even let the character come near. At the end of the LARP a lot of people went to dinner at the same place and I overheard them talking about how they felt like they had wasted their money because they didn’t get the RP they were looking for.
@Jennkryst There’s also just the Altered Carbon RPG, Traveller (well, certain Traveller settings), and Hellas: Worlds of Sun & Stone.
@BloodAngel Seconded. Really also anything published by Critical Reflex. Mouthwashing, Lunacid, Arctic Eggs…
They have a lot of awesome stuff.
@Sammich I wish I could get more teams in Rivals that would actually push the objective. It’s really sad to see a Hulk or Wolverine standing off the objective, punching the air, then after the match, they’ve got 0 time on objective and complain that the rest of the team sucked.
My current peeve is that my life is so screwed up right now I barely have time for random computer & video games let alone the brain power required for RP.
From a conversation with a few people I know IRL: When people create amazing story points for their character or for the world in general only to somehow completely draw a blank when you ask them to explore that further.
“I really like how you established your character was secretly undermining the Lord of the West Rivers, can we do some more undermining plot stuff with that?”
“Wait what? I have no idea what you are talking about and am not interested in that in the least.”
“Ok. Well… ugh.”

I’m not, but it’s because for whatever reason, Dragon Age hasn’t captured my attention in any of the games in the series. Can’t explain it, the games are mostly solid and have a well written world, but playing them doesn’t trigger that part of my brain that makes me want to keep going. (Tangentially, that same part of my brain also requires 100% completion of a game when it triggers.)
I played the first game all the way to the Werewolf dungeon (which I believe is roughly halfway through the main plot), and have skipped the other games in the series altogether.
As good as Bioware games are, the last one I actually played to completion was Jade Empire. Bioware just never finds that magic thing my weird brain needs to actually play through them.
@Kestrel It’s always been my understanding that Jill never gets to the point of having an actual character anywhere, just making strange conversation OOC as a guest bit and then dipping. I might be wrong though.
@Pavel Is it an original Model-M, or one of the newer clones, like the Unicomp?
@Tez I got a Keychron C2 with brown switches. My old keyboard died when I was rearranging my office and I accidentally dropped my paperweight on it. If I had the money, I probably would have gone for something slightly more pricey, but the C2 will work for now. If I had the money, I might have gone for the Q6 or maybe a Unicomp New Model M.
My new peeve: buying a fancy new mechanical keyboard with nice clicky keys and not having the free time or energy to actually sit down and put it through it’s paces on a MU.
When I read Cujo’s post there, my brain forced me to read it in Donald Trump’s voice for some reason.

Hadrix is sexual harassing a couch.
Are you implying that Hadrix is JD Vance?

I was only aware of Liberation and CoG. What’s Fulcrum?
I know there’s a person out there monkeying around with starting another one, but I’ve been asked not to say much more than that. (It’s not me. I don’t have the time or the know-how to start a new game from scratch.)
@Tez Because VPNs are disposable connections and the icky individual can just swap to another VPN server or use their normal IP to reconnect and start over on a new bit, or claim their old roster bit again and start over.
I’ve been on a few games that tried to deal with that by just wide-banning entire domains and it caused multiple players who weren’t icky at all to suddenly be unable to connect.
I’m all for online privacy, but too much online privacy can protect people with bad intentions. It’s a tenuous balance at best dealing with icky folks while still being respectful of good players’ privacy.
