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]

@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.

Sad for the staffer who had to write that superheroes don’t lactate. No matter what the story behind that ruling was, sad for them.

my year was distinctly lacking in absolutely hilarious sentences like this and I just want to thank this hobby from the bottom of my heart for finally delivering the content I crave, 10/10

@Roz

I am legitimately crying, Dragon Ball was the first truly generational thing my son and I loved. what a magnificent dude.

how am I both completely blown away and yet not surprised at all by this information

I loved RPing smokers but fuckin’ hated smoking cigarettes the few times I gave them a try as an adult, so I was genuinely baffled the entire time even as I had fun with it.

truly, we are a diverse lot, lol.

@kalakh said in The Arx Secrets Thread:

His gambit to become a god was more or less “I am actually the biggest deal, bam Destiny is alive again and does what I want”, which is insane, but is also how magic works.

…so the real key all along to winning Arx actually was to cultivate, in MU*ing terms, serious Main Character Syndrome?

jk, jk

@SpaceKhomeini @Testament we can live…WE CAN BOTH LIVE

lmao. ahhh good times. it’s such beautiful schlock

and yeah @glitch that’s what I was thinking of!! not dieselpunk actually I guess but like, it wouldn’t be that hard to make it fit I don’t think.

@Aria said in MU Peeves Thread:

Sorry, @Wizz , but I do not know what Robot Jox is.

pure 80’s cheeseball flick that I love dearly. it was like the first American mecha, lol.

you’re next, ACHILLLLLEEEEEEEESSSS!

…also, not for nothing but I swear Cthulhu-dieselpunk with mechs and robots and stuff powered by occultism is already a thing? it rings a huge bell for me anyway, might be worth diving into DrivethruRPG for it if it really is appealing!

@Aria said in MU Peeves Thread:

deranged dystopian mecha gladiator game

omg is it Robot Jox? pls tell me it’s Robot Jox

@hellfrog said in City of Glass - Discussion:

not to say i didn’t scream internally and externally when trying to actually USE my sheet.

thiiiis. I love Mage’s setting and themes to death and have been reeeaaally tempted, even started making a bit, but every time I look at the improvised spell chart in the books I want to start hooting and screeching like a baboon

I stopped poking at it because everyone told her not to

Maybe this was already a thing and I just missed it but I feel like secrets needed a big disclaimer telling you to ignore other players when they told you this.

I think it got better later on, but there was definitely a group of us who unfortunately misunderstood that extremely reasonable IC advice as OOC advice.

I mean, it was often a ton of OOC pressure as well as IC pressure from some corners unfortunately. some people would absolutely insist that you not only not poke at a thing but also never ever get anyone else involved, and they’d say it was all about your character’s safety but like…a lot of the time it pretty honestly felt like they just didn’t want anyone else to have something cool or share the cool thing they themselves had access to, frankly.

but whattaya gonna do, there are toxic players in every game really.

the documentary I participated in finally has its first Coming Soon teaser clip up on Netflix and to say my anxiety and relief are both through the roof is understating it. they’re in like goddamn orbit somewhere.
