@RightMeow Anything that is mandatory should be complementary.

I used to love buying presents for people at random. There's nothing quite like surprise present.

TMW you find out you may have been on the wrong side of something you were once neutral on, and that by remaining neutral you have been inadvertently allowing someone to get away with something horrid.

@Herja Oh I just read it on reddit. But I have rewatched the series a couple times now... ***=NSFW content***click to show ...and there are a lot of tongue in cheek pointers to it. Like Laurie finding him hot, always mentioning him. I had guessed Topher, because aren't there some hint of him being psychic? Or was he at the funeral, now i gotta check...

@Dreampipe Lock and load your battle fetus and off to war you go...

@sockmonkey today was my friday!

I really fucking liked 1917. Like, I've been looking forward to it for a while (which is why I was thrilled to get sneak preview passes!), but man. It was better than I thought it'd be. It was really, really good. Good story. Good pacing. Beautiful cinematography. Highly recommend. It comes out (limited release) Christmas Day, so if you're a Christmas Day moviegoer, I absolutely recommend it.

@Auspice I understand all of this too well. I have literal pennies in my checking account. The rent came out of my roommate's account, but I have yet to give him anything for rent. I have interviewed and interviewed, and there's nothing. I'm tired, broke, and stressed to the max. I could use a hug and a miracle.

@Tinuviel It's funny because it's true.

@hedgehog A Silent Film - Thirteen Times the Strength

@Jeshin Hey. I don't know if this got lost in the shuffle (shuffle, noise, vitriol), but I never minded the idea of anyone saying, "Hey, this thing is awesome and we want to feature it." I think it's a great community-building idea, and I hope you keep doing it. Even if people disagree, they will know what you think is good. The big explosion over ideas was because of the prerequisites. That is all.

My first like, 9? 10? months of playing Teagan were kinda tumultuous. The first while was just this sort of struggle of figuring out the 'how' of it. I mean, no, it wasn't my first time on Arx but when I played Lou was right at the beginning in Alpha. Things were very different when I picked up Teagan and the learning curve was hard. And then RL got messy at the beginning of this year with job loss and a job with shitty hours and then new job and... ...then there was the really miserable-making Gaston that nearly drove me to quit the game. Like, it sucked. Bad. I love playing Teagan, but I dreaded even logging in for fear he'd be online. But the past month-ish? Everything has gelled. I've had some amazing RP. Things are coming together on my character. I'm working with the new Gaston on stuff for Blackram that has me really excited. Like, I feel good about things.

For anyone who hasn't done the XBox Game Pass thing yet: right now it's $1 for your first three months.

@Cupcake said in The 100: The Mush: @Booriley Was this meant for the Apology thread? The apology thread has a 50% chance of just turning into a shooting gallery for bitter cunts.

@Bobotron said in The State of the Chronicles of Darkness: @tragedyjones Right. I skimmed that and honestly didn't think of Hunter or Mummy. :/ Sorry for forgetting someone's favorite game lines. I only know because it was pointed out on the onyx path forum, honestly.

@Coin said: Maybe it was a good run, maybe it wasn't, but we tried. Good enough for me. Fair nuff.

In contrast, I care where what behavior goes. It's a utility thing.
