I am very tempted to just go stand in the middle of a club and yell “PLAY THE SUPERTRAMP!!” over and over, like Diedrich Baker in Evil Alien Conquerors. 🥺

@Jumpscare

ty, I desperately needed that snort-laugh this week.

I’m not sure what you use for email, but I know Gmail at least has that feature built in, I also used to use it for work. it’s been a long minute since I set it up but I am positive it’s in the help docs.

The vast majority of players in our hobby understand how to make unique special characters without trying their damnedest to drive it into everyone’s faces at 100 miles an hour.

lol. in my experience, the vast majority of players in the hobby are all guilty of this behavior to one degree or another. it’s just a matter of how much or little each community will tolerate it and what kind, and that changes from game to game.

paying the @dvoraen cat tax:

Alucard is such a friend.

the true celebrity loss in this thread is discovering @dvoraen doesn’t use dark mode to browse the forum

Mob Psycho thirded. I watched it with my son and we both looooved it, especially since Mob is more than a lil neurospicy-coded.

has anyone ever ghouled a kangaroo? serious question

@Pavel said in AI PBs:

So AI isn’t so much coming for my job as it is creating more work for my colleagues. I see.

here’s another article about it more generally. I find it kind of funny but also deeply sad considering that these are probably just…what, undiagnosed narcissists who have badly needed intervention for years? and now they’ve got Fancy Autocorrect endlessly validating them into psychosis.

hey. hey, dummy, there’s nothing up there…

what are you talking about? there’s a cat up there!

@dvoraen said in Pets!:

@Wizz Look at that pretty kitty facey whisker facey face.

Alucard is, indeed, the most facey whisker facey face 🥰

hey. hey, dummy, there’s nothing up there…

well I tried to tell ya, ya big galoot!!

@Pavel

I’ll always remember a confrontation here years back where this one poster was just absolutely ripping a headstaffer a new b-hole, some of hands down the most contemptuous vitriol I had seen…because the guy refused to hand over the reins to an 80’s cartoon-based Transformers game instead of closing it. just wildly out of proportion and cruel stuff because they wanted to keep pretending to be a motorcycle that turns into a break-dancing robot, it was kind of amazing.

some of my poses might contain more em-dashes than actual sentences so this all feels like a personal attack

honestly, the only reason I didn’t love it is because there was enough material there for at least one more season, if not two, without any real concern about filler. every “ONE YEAR LATER” smash cut made me wince and groan.

spotted in the wild, made me lol at least as much as it made me groan.

@RedRocket said in TV series, news, recommendations:

@Wizz which so do you mean is politically charged? Lower decks? Strange new worlds?

Andor! @Jennkryst is right, imo, it’s a fantastic show and probably the best Star Wars thing to have been released in aaaages.

but Disney’s made some questionable choices with the Marvel stuff lately so.

eh. I’m saying this as someone who loved the first season more than a lot of TV I’ve seen in a long time, but the cognitive dissonance of watching such a politically charged show produced by a company that has been making some very uncomfortable choices has soured the whole thing for me a bit.

[all of…this]

MAGE!!!

@Babs said in MU Peeves Thread:

I’m think I’m one of the odd ducks that can be just as in the moment with an async when its my turn to pose as a live one.

it doesn’t make you an odd duck, lol, and async can be just as organic and vivacious as live rp. it’s 1000% a subjective personal preference thing.
