The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
also @Casual Eddy I'll play whatever we're missing support wise. Likely a stocky little dwarf with a barrel chest and named after an 80s band. Prolly something like David Li-Roth, so I can roll that as a healer or a tank or whatever.
Diamond (mining) Dave, eh?
He was kicked out of his homeland when Hagar Industries took over and his father was ousted.
GM: Your “patron” leads you down to the stables, following a twisting path that leads down stairs and long low hallways into the bottom floor of the coliseum. The aroma of lizard dung rises to meet you well before you reach a set of stalls.
“Remember, all you have to do is ensure none of my teams finish last.” he says, “Do this and your debt is paid. Fail, and… just don’t fail.”
Stablehands pull the chariots out for you to choose while they go wrangle the teams of dracolizards that will pull them. Each is painted in bright colors that stand out even in the gloom, with large numbers on the side. There’s a bright green fifteen on the first, painted a yellow that seems to shimmer and flicker as if powered by the same magic lanterns that light the upper city. Next is a red chariot painted to look like red dragonscales, white fifty-five blazing brightly from its side. The last one is a deep blue, almost black, that seems to slide around your gaze and hop back into your peripheral vision, though the pink thirty five on the side remains fixed in place.
Rogue: <low whistle> “That black one is sweet. Dibs!”
Mage: “The yellow one for me.”
DL-R: “Nay.”
Mage: “What?”
DL-R: “I… I canna.”
Rogue: “Come on! The race will start soon.”
GM: Everyone is staring at you, David. A vague look of disapproval is creeping into your patron’s eyes, his frill visibly tightening.
DL-R: “I can’t drive… fifty-five!”

Damn. I came down last night to my parents' house and my kid, who normally won't get out of the pool, wouldn't stay in at all. Not a whole lot else to do. A shit night's sleep with no AC, today she's being a very demanding kiddo. The relatives with kids who were supposed to be showing up aren't.
I came back from the gym at like 1130 and jumped into the pool delighted and in the span of 90 minutes she got right back out of the pool and back on her bullshit and I'm exhausted.

She just started Kindergarten right? That takes a lot of mental energy to process and deal with, especially if she wasn’t a full time daycare kid.

If my son, who is fifteen months old and my third born child had instead been born first, I would have performed a vasectomy on myself somewhere around his first birthday.

So for PAX parking I found a garage whose app is... lets say bad. It is supposed to base prepay rates on occupancy thrugh their automated system, but since they are charging $50 via an attendant at the door, their system thinks the garage is empty. So every day Im prepaying $9 all day and then preparing to have a dragged out fight over this and every day they just look at this QR code for the scanner they turned off, shrug, and let me in
Is a QR code now the social engineering equicalent of a ladder
I'm not certain you've heard the expression, but you know the saying "you can never go home again"?
Because you captured it with your comment last night.
Yeah, I stopped being able to go home again years ago. The strawberry fields and orange groves are all gone. The bases have been bulldozed and houses built. The water park we used to spend our summers at was closed, torn down, then rebuilt and reopened elsewhere years later. The road to nowhere was connected and the empty lots have all turned into housing tracts. My best friend's father died, they sold his house, and his mother now lives in a smaller one near the freeway (or did; I last saw them ten years ago now). There are massive new buildings at the middle and highschool I went to. Most of the restaurants of our childhood have closed down. Some due to retirement, one due to tax fraud (surprising no one since they were a cash only shop).
Places change, people move. People change.
The home of our childhood is gone, except for our memories.
Time and entropy are the true villains. I go back to where I grew up in Colorado, sometimes I drive by where I went to high school. It’s all just bittersweet psychic assault. But I do it to myself every time. And every time it’s just a reminder that everything, including myself changes with time.
And I guess it beats the alternative. If it's not growing, it's likely shrinking like those rundown towns that looked 5 steps away from the Fallout games. I guess there's a reason they were named in the game--they already fit the esthetic!
Friends I have who grew up in small rural towns talk about how everything is stagnant and depressing. And they are the outliers because they left.
It's kinda funny when events in Detroit try to charge $50 for parking like bro half the city is a parking lot I will walk the extra 2 blocks fyi hth glhf
which reminds me Eastern Market After Dark is coming up in a few weeks hmm hmm

Alright I need someone to explain the planet of the bass thing to me because I genuinely don't get it.
*finishes putting the keys back onto my keyboard* Good morning, this is still the anchor reality, right?

We just got an amber alert and it linked to twitter, which my wife and I cannot sign into to see the message.
I guess good luck kid, wherever and whoever you are, being abducted and all, because the government did not think that one through, or didn't plan for Space Karen
I wish I could have had another kiddo. I always wanted two. But I barely get to see the one I have as it is now.
I always wanted two, but early into *war trauma* I'd realized that just trying to maintain a relationship with the one I already had was tough enough and I failed at that. Also people always think this is a joke but it's real hard to have a remote relationship via phone when your kid is raised from the age of 4 to speak Tennessee hill creol and all you know is english so you call all like "Hey hi [name], what's new?" "wel dembut ol garf ofway inki derhowrdy burt" Well ok sounds like you're happy

With a son in Texas, this hits hard 😓
Last time I saw him in person was when he was 8 and even in person there was a language barrier. Last I saw he was a Dakota prison guard with the shitty early twenties try-hard stubble beard and punisher logo overlay on his facebook image. As a teen he drew decent furry porn. He's out there somewhere, probably being real shitty to vtubers.

a real tragedy of the whole Twitter thing is how much organization and community awareness relied on it completely
Allegedly a voice of reason.

I’m really sorry about all that, Weav 😢
I hope I’m not around to see that happen to my kiddo

Having reasonably fast internet is so weird.
Like five years now I've just been on cell phone data and then boom, last night I downloaded CP77 with the new patch in under 2 hours while we watched a movie.
Last time I installed it, it took me 3-4 days to download, letting it run overnight and hoping the router didn't glitch.
If my son, who is fifteen months old and my third born child had instead been born first, I would have performed a vasectomy on myself somewhere around his first birthday.
IDK where I picked this up, it may even be here, but I clearly remember the story of someone starting to learn to read and realizing that on their parents bookshelf there was a book 'How to deal with ill-behaved children" and there's 2 children in the household.
I was basically born with a grudge against authority and I have memories from when I was two years, so my parents hated me constantly for questioning them and it took seven years and two miscarriages, but finally my sister was born, who was the golden child even after I'd long moved out and she was in German jail for drug use but oh no, she's a good christian woman, and I'm a *gasp* liberal and I'm like fuck it let's have this war I know how to lay in an artillery battery, dad's spent twenty years being a school detention monitor because it gives him a feeling of power.

Wife's going out to get prescriptions filled and she's getting some chicken and mushrooms, and we've got onion and bell pepper, and I think I'mma do kabobs tonight.
Then we have to watch SAW VI because can't stop this train once it's left the station.

You visit your kid all the time and always speak about how well balanced the fam he's growing up around is.
edit I think you're doing great
