Farwoods: Graphical MUD, inspired by Redwall, currently in open alpha

Hello, folks! Not sure if this is the best place to put this, but I didn't get an answer from the mods when I PMed them about it, so I guess I'll go ahead and post it.

@Farwoods

See in particular the last sentence of the advertisement rule.

Meanwhile I've spent hundreds of dollars over time on FF14 and other MMOs

Wheeee

@Fabricant451

Same; I've probably spent countless $$ between WoW, SWTOR, and other MMOs too lol

Honestly, I should probably get back into playing MMOs again, but I haven't found much that isn't a) total trash or b) something I'm interested in. Like, I've tried Final Fantasy, but the game never clicked with me during my stint of playing it. Though, that could also be because I was/is never a huge Final Fantasy fan. After all, other than the MMO, the only FF game I've played is Tactics.

<Snipped quote by Kuro>
Never had any issue RPing in the Elder Scrolls universe, myself. Some quality of life mods out there, but generally you just need your story in your head and stick to your personality.

@TGM

Yeah; it's more so sticking to personality/character when it comes to games like Skyrim for me that I have issue with. I can get all enthralled in the setting, but nonetheless I still fall victim to... what would you call it; the "gamer mindset" or something like that? Where you're way more focused on the game aspect over the actual setting/roleplaying aspect. I'll have a noble heavy armor shieldbearer in mind only to just play edgy stealth archer or something raking in gold/steamrolling everything for my benefit, if that make any sense for an example.

Kind of feel like playing Skyrim again sometime, though all the save files I had are long lost. Maybe I could actually "roleplay", like play 100% a stealthy Thieves Guild archer, a College mage, Imperial soldier, etc. Does anyone do or has done something like that before? My characters always end up being everything at once opposed to sticking to a certain build or getting in the spirit of the setting.

@KitsuneWarrior Let's avoid the name calling, and this is a late reply, but:

First, you need to decide if you want humane traps or not. Humane traps are the catch-and-release type ones, obviously. The others are your typical spring traps, glue traps, poison/bait traps, etc.

Unless you plan on releasing the mouse far from your house in like, some kind of field or forest, I highly don't recommend humane traps, especially if you're worried about potential diseases. Sure, it's humane, which is nice. But at the same time, the mouse will just end up finding its way back into your house unless you release it far away. Trust me: I've lived near cornfields and forests all my life. Dealt with my fair share of field mice getting inside.

Personally, I would suggest the traditional spring/snap traps. They're inhumane, yeah, but you can always reuse them if needed (you can reuse the catch-and-release ones, but see above point). These are probably among the easiest spring traps to set up off the top of my head.

Once you get the mouse (and any other mice that might be lingering around), I do suggest looking around your place for any possible way they could've got in and get it filled in. Expanding caulk is an easy fix for that kind of stuff; we did it for a temp fix to cover a hole a snake had slithered in from.

What Are You Listening To?

Been revisiting country songs that were popular when I was a kid. Honestly, it's kind of refreshing to hear them again, especially after the "ew, country" phase I had for awhile in my teenage years. We've got a billion country stations here; basically couldn't escape the genre to where it drove me nuts just hearing anything country because everyone was listening to it.
