Current Remember, nobody actually enjoys roleplaying if there isn't at least five shameful fetishes uncovered by the 2nd page.

Somebody stole my mood ring. I don't know how to feel about it.

Let's be honest, it's far more satisfying and challenging to actually imagine what a character looks like than paste a hundred gifs of a celebrity and call it good.

So, a team of players who are good at playing as a team in a team-based game are individually bad players. Seems kind of silly when you put it like that, no?

My goal these days is to have an RP that can actually finish, or the very least, last a few years. I see way too many die on page one to take chances

Ammo isn't too bad if you have the right caliber. 9mm is pretty friggin' cheap. .223 is also supremely inexpensive, as is 7.62x39mm. Stuff like that.

I still need to go airsoftting. I have the gear, just haven't had time.
This is actually a pretty common concept that's been explored lots, not to detract from your idea. A thing to consider is when you get older, your perception of time changes and goes a lot faster. It's actually a reason why old people drive really slowly; the world seems to be rushing by and it's terrifying. Less grimly, it's like when you're a kid and a month in school seems to take forever, while as an adult you lose track of time and feel like time flies.

Watchmen did a fantastic job with this with Doctor Manhattan. He perceived time so differently from everyone else he actually lost his humanity along the way after the accident turned him into a living god. His relationships were emotionless and fleeting, and he could no longer connect with mortal people. How can you when you're literally living several decades worth of time simultaneously?

Anyways, point is I think if you were immortal, you'd be so used to seeing life pass by and people come and go, you'd probably see most people in the same light as you would at a subway terminal. Family would be like having a short-lived pet you'd love but be able to move on from pretty easily... if you could ever love someone who was mortal. You'd have seen and experienced so much, trying to relate to someone who has only been mature for what might as well be a blink of the eye would be extremely difficult. It would be like a toddler who is fumbling through life, largely ignorant to the world before they die while you know every answer to every question they'd ever have. There would be no growing together or learning, or even dealing with similar struggles. How could you relate to the pressing need to go to college, or balance bills, or have kids by a certain age? You'd never understand the stresses and worries of a mortal life, especially when you have an eternity to do anything.
Anybody else miss the days before social networking sites were really a thing? Like, actually calling people and meeting face to face without being bombarded by every detail in someone's life?

Aww yisss. Got my tax returns. Now I have to decide between a PS4 or an airsoft gun. Or a real gun for that matter. It's so hard to choose!


I'd say go with what you're most passionate towards. A PS4 will likely drop in price down the road/ come bundled with awesome bonus stuff. An airsoft gun will be a great way to keep active/ do the shit you do in games for realsies (Plus you know you want that AK-5). A real good is always a solid investment if you can get to the range, hunt, or even if you feel you need to defend your home. Plus, shooting is great fun.

Speaking of shooting, I was talking to my grandfather on the phone a couple nights ago. He said he got his old Lee Enfield for 15 bucks, and they just had bins filled with the damn things.

I need a time machine...
Taking the game/ obviously created content without permission is a no-no. If you ask and get permission, I don't see the issue, giving credit is always a good gesture, regardless.

A friend of mine convinced a guy that she was a Russian foreign exchange student for SIX MONTHS. Starting near the beginning of the school year. He was an RA and would make rounds through our dorm. She changed her name, learned Russian phrases, invented a Russian family, and kept up the charade anytime he was around. On March 31, this guy was on duty to do rounds, so a small group of us gathered in a hallway so we would be sure to see him before the end of the night. We wound up seeing him just at midnight (April 1), and we mentioned that it was "'Natasha's' first April Fools Day." So we asked him to explain what April Fool's was to her. He said "Oh, well it's when you convince someone of something that isn't true." She said "so If I told you that I was American..." and he said "No! It has to be plausible, but I know you're Russian, so..." And she laughed and said "Do you not understand? I'm from Lansing."Cue laughter, applause, etc.


That is damn impressive, that. I'm surprised nobody accidentally tipped him off!
Valentine's Day is over, jeeerk.
Let's go shopping, bitches.

Perfect! Homies return!

Alright, people have until April 14th to get their ass in here or I'm shooting them out the airlock.
