Minds can change. I used to be more centrist. Now I think we need to bust out guillotines. Turns out paying attention is a good way to wake up lol

Since March I have been working on building a High Elf army for Warhammer the Old World and I bought a kit of Battle Sisters for 40k. It’s been a nice and relaxing way of disengaging with the horrors of the outside world. It sparks joy.

I know this isn’t what you meant but it’s kind of hilarious that the horrors of WH40K are lesser than the horrors of real life. Daemons trying to eat your face off are nothing in the face of this ever-worsening cost of living crisis!

Well one is make believe and the other is triple digit temperatures and a psychotic population losing its goddamn mind lol

Looking at the current state of reality, my tolerance for bullshit is at an all time low. At this point if I ran a game and someone spoke some right wing shit id ban them. I think a lot of issues have persisted because people have wanted to be nice or polite. Sometimes it’s just best for everyone to just move on without them.

Just rename the thread General WoD Rage or something. I feel like it will all end up being about the same stuff anyway.

Don’t know what I just spent an hour reading but it’s helped me deal with waking up at 330am and kill some time lol.

As more and more time passes and AI becomes more and more widespread all I can think is, “When do we declare our Butlerian Jihad?” Because I’m kinda over all this stuff already lol.

@Ominous said in Lords and Ladies Game Design:

@Rucket Could you elaborate on what you mean by “basic House development”?

Apologies at the insane delay I don’t check this place daily. Anyway I liked the basic concept that Arx had of domains and I would enjoy seeing projects people in the house could work on to improve areas of their domain over time. I don’t know that I have any super specific things in mind off the top of my head right now.

Political systems this, intrigue systems that. Honestly I liked that Arx had some basic House development stuff. I would have liked to have seen it expanded and would like any L&L game to have something similar.

Anyway, someone let me know if a new game comes out! I am feeling some fantasy vibes as evidenced by these High Elf minis I’ve been slowly working on

@dvoraen beep boop

Sad to hear Glitch had to leave the hobby but this is some really slick work!

Been trying to engage less online and focus more on myself, especially the last few months. Seems to be progressing well, since July 1st I’ve lost 50 pounds and focused on doing more physical activities despite the triple digit heat (though getting used to it more now… kind of).

@Meg said in Your Latest Batch of (Silly) Drama:

@dvoraen I’m not saying I am RPing or not RPing, but I’m definitely not RPing, because I’m too cool and busy for RP, having a real life.

(Actually, I just play CS2 instead.)

At least it’s not CoD

@Tez said in MU Peeves Thread:

@Aria Ooo, TY.

I was reading OP’s reddit AMA the other day and the business decisions Paradox is making with their licenses didn’t surprise me, but did disappoint me. Paradox seems to be leaving a lot of lines dead in the water, presumably to avoid cannibalizing their own base for other lines. Gotta streamline those business efficiencies and maximize your gainz.

I’m still waiting for Bloodlines 2 goddamn it. I don’t know what all happened with the development of that game, but it was supposed to be out years ago.

Getting out of the shower and looking into the hallway and wondering… am I losing my goddamn mind as something seems to be moving on the floor. Oh no, a damn scorpion These things freak me out to no end.

@bored said in Comic Games Are Still Fun!:

assumed no one here played comic places anymore

There’s still some Ares-based comic games, but they tend not to be so explosive with drama I guess. Anyway, my experience with HAM was from 2020 and both Chaucer and Shakespeare can fuck right off imo. They let some obscenely toxic behavior go along for way too long all because they were afraid of hurting “their numbers”.

@Rinel Oh, I knew it wasn’t about me, I haven’t had much time for MUs in a bit lol. I just was in the mood to post an office gift, sorry

@hellfrog said in MU Peeves Thread:

It’s barely a peeve, but it doesn’t seem appropriate for ‘good things’, either.

People are really just not as slick as they think they are, in general. I see you, buddy.

Working 60hr weeks since mid-November, finally told to go back to normal 8 hour days and then shit happens and now its time to go back on the overtime train.
