No go, it looks like all it took was a snapshot of the forum's index.

Thanks, and don't worry about it... you did what you needed to do!

Damn, sorry to hear that. I honestly think I can reconstruct most of the info, but there were a couple minor NPCs I definitely don't really remember. Ah well, that'll teach me to treat a forum as cloud storage! Thanks for letting me know, anyway.

General Game Discussion / The Liminal Academy

« on: March 28, 2017, 08:56:50 am »

So, I've decided I mightwant to CoGify The Liminal Academy. I'd really appreciate it if Berka or a mod could tell me how to get to my now-hidden forum to mine it for information.

Also, if anyone is willing to let me use their character concept in the game, please let me know. I may not accept all offers, depending on how well they work with other characters in play. I also reserve the right to assume authorial control & do things with your character that you wouldn't have done. And due to the complexities of writing a character out once they're in, I cannot offer veto power.

So, yes, if anyone wants to volunteer their character(s) even with those caveats, please do let me know! XD

Just a fair warning, doc put me on some new meds for my PTSD.

Great Scotts! this crap ain't no joke. only thing I can compare it too is a horse tranquilizer.

word of the wise, never get diagnosed with PTSD kids. luckily Ohio just signed the medical marijuana bill. so starting sometime in the next 6 months or so, I'll be down to one medication a day instead of 14 pills a day.

One of the friends I made in the local psych unit had PTSD. Sucks, as far as I can tell. Sympathy, & hope that the medical marijuana works well for you.

Social Justice Owl swoops in and glares at you all.

Speaking as someone who uses the women's room: Trans women should NOT have to use the men's room. Also: Women's rooms have STALLS WITH DOORS. Nobody's gonna see anyone else's junk, whatEVER shape it might be. And I'm pretty sure there are more actual trans women than there are men willing to pretend to be trans women to get into the women's rooms to perv on the women.

Tried getting the link to work, but it just doesn't seem to. It's a list of sword treatises from Thearma. I usually read the viking Sagas, because they're entertaining, and some of the straight-up "Manual" manuals are kind of like reading about how to make mouth noises. I don't associate/translate instructional words to physical actions that well.

Heh, yeah, taking the manuals and turning them into actual swordplay is what the group I'm rejoining is all about. And I think it takes a minimum of three people -- two to be trying out the moves together, and a third to be watching and telling them they're doing it wrong. 

Nice to see that some other folks are weapon-geeks. There's apparently an archery range in one of the other mill buildings near me, but I'm really more into melee right now.

In the same way there's no feminist cabal plotting to steal my video games, I doubt that there are armed gangs patrolling the street looking for uppity game devs.

There's an 'unarmed' game dev who can't be doxed or SWATed, though! ^_^

Do you actually do sword-stuff, Sent? If so, what kind? I've never actually trained with anything sharp, it's been all waster, boffer, & foil so far. I did once have Elizabeth Moon show me how to hold a rapier... but again, a practice weapon of the not-sharp sort.

Haha, thanks guys. I only punched some gamer chairs (in the "Sensory Room") & a clock (in the room I was first placed in, before I got upgraded to the "Quiet Room.")

I'm certainly not gonna assume that I can walk unscathed in the "bad" areas of my geographic radius. But I do look forward to learning how to channel my newfound "intent." Apparently German longsword is out and Polish saber is in, for now. Haven't asked yet if the progression will include training on horseback.

So. Undercut + "unicorn hair" = y'all can see me as I currently appear. The pink is NOT photoshopped, and while my stylist did talk me into it, I have zero regrets. It looks purple in some lights & heliotrope in others, and it can be completely hidden with a center part.

If anyone was wondering where I disappeared to... well, I spiralled up again & landed back in the hospital. Which was... interesting. Ultimately good, buuuut being sectioned is a lot different when you're only quasi-voluntary. But I got to meet the kind of cops who dress in black & carry themselves like they can take you down unarmed. And eventually I met the kind of doctor who I'd actually trust with my mental/behavioral health. He runs a very, very good unit.

Along the way, I made five friends who I was close enough with to exchange numbers, & make tentative  plans to meet up with "on the outside." I'm also about to go off to swing a wooden waster at people who are similarly armed. I have a lot more... intent... than I could previously command.

But my knuckles are presently healed of the minor bruises & scabs I acquired while "training," and will probably stay that way awhile. It is very strange to me, that I seem to have levelled up in "badass" as a side effect of being bipolar. But stranger things have surely happened.

And in case anyone's still curious...



The six-year-old was my style consultant on what I told her was a "cute goth" look. She's loved gothic fashion since she was four or five -- never to wear herself, of course. HER favorite color is hot pink, second favorite is purple. But she 'encourages' everyone to dress according to THEIR favorite color.

Anyway, that's me. And Haven's actually tonight, so, yeah. Gonna goth it up AGAIN, dance a little, and figure out who's who in that scene right now. It's been a while.

Carol thinks Morgan might be right. The wolf that she was so convinced was a terrible guy sacrificed himself to save the medic before. She wants to try and live a life without killing now, which she recognizes can't be done while staying in the group (who she would have to kill for).

Odds are Morgan won't come back. If he finds Carol he'll likely just continue on with her.

...man, it's always a little weird to find one's issues reflected in fiction. By name, no less. Even if the issue's swapped and the pronouns are, too.

Fun to hear the gossip on the Scary Zombie Show (that I don't watch or play). Still hoping zombies will give way to Something Else soonish. Even the true fans have to feel like they're a little overplayed, right? Or is "human shaped monster" just fun forever? >_<

Sorry, I guess I thought that would be obvious from the context. My gamedev-y aspirations are well-known to my RL friends, but I guess the habit of keeping my beak shut on the Internet is not quite extinguished.

I'm in studioland crunch-time through April. After that... well, one project is a collaboration and I'm not the creative lead, so I'm not gonna summarize it here. The other isn't actually a game per se, but rather a self-improvement app with integrated Cardboard-powered VR. That's Google Cardboard, and yes, it's both real and actually made out of cardboard. Though I'll be using the iamcardboard plastic viewer for my devkit. It just feels more professional, and it still only cost me $30. Plus the refurb Samsung Galaxy, since I'm an iPhone user. Cardboard does work on iOS, but there are various hurdles to deployment and I want a quicker build/test cycle.

...and hopefully if I've lost any of you this time, you'll at least recognize that I DO actually know what I'm talking about, and have in fact been playing around with games and designing my own since before most of you were born. Not to play the age card, but... one DOES continue to learn new things through the course of one's life, and in some contexts, it DOES matter.

I got my car repaired and I've been driving it the past few days. It's handled beautifully and I aquired a few CDs so that I didn't have to listen to stuff on the radio.

I've got three local stations I flip between. Rock, pop, and NPR. I need to dig out my handful of CDs, 'cause my now-housemate made me some great goth-industrial mixes... about ten years ago now.

Media & Mayhem / Re: Hey Gaaaamergaaate~!

« on: March 25, 2016, 06:47:36 pm »

Listen, i'm just saying that this:

Seems like a pretty wild leap. I mean, what do we have to do with gamergate?

Nothing. And for that, I thank you.

You're not obligated to share your picture on the Internet, Morgan. I'm sure most of us don't care either way.

Indeed. The voice of reason, and the one to explain my reasoning in my absence. Thank you.

 

It's not a matter of sticking it to some vicious, monolithic organization that made a big enough stink to get mentioned on the news one time, though that may be your motivation, all this is about putting your face up on some corner of the internet and hopefully avoiding the opinionated hydra swarm of people who are just hateful in general. We aren't politicians here, and we aren't >moderately famous media makers. We're people who post on a small writing site and play games on forums. There will certainly not be a horde of stalkery beasts any time soon. And if there is, I'll eat all three of my tf2 hats.

I trust you all implicitly. I hope at least some of you will believe me when I say I have more knowlege of Gamergate and its impact on female game designers than you do. And yes, it's the fringe. It doesn't change the fact that I KNOW women, IRL, who have personally dealt with this shit... and not just the 'big names' like Quinn, Sarkeesian and Wu.

Even so, I only give a flying fark about Gamergate IN THIS CONTEXT because I consider you to be my friends. Some closer than others, but friends all the same. And I was a really farking lonely kid, when I was a kid in college. And I lost friends, too... not through alienation, but through fear. I literally couldn't bring myself to tell my best friend on the internet that I was gay, so I just... talked to him less and less, until one day I realized I'd never be able to talk to him again, because I'd forgotten my ICQ password & my retrieval email was defunct. And my best friend IRL... well, I've told that story before. Water under the bridge, now.

Suffice it to say that I value my friendships, however tenuous they may be. And it... frustrated me, when Drak got dared into showing his face or however the hell that went down, that I was in the throes of figuring out how to handle Gamergate, as a woman deciding how to launch herself as a professional game designer, and couldn't use my one awesome profile pic as my avatar here, because it had already gone up on Facebook.

The ever-observant Killa has noted that I now refer to myself as a woman. So, yes, my gender identity has apparently recrystalized, at age 35. Eventually, though, once life has thrown you enough curveballs... you learn to hit the goddamn ball out of the goddamn park.

So, yes. I plan to be a successful indie game designer, which is not entirely unlike planning to be a Farking rock star. But I've already BEEN the Farking rock star... and I've told that story too, albeit in pieces. I may have even named the Big Name Client, though I probably shouldn't have. But what are they going to do, fire me? 9_9

Tired owl rolls its tired eyes, folks. Maybe tomorrow bubbly!Morgan will feel like proving she can dress like a girl if she puts her mind to it. Maybe not. Fark me if I'm not too tired to give much of a damn. It's been a long double-day, and I'm glad to be winding down.

Sigh.

It's the sort of thing you don't need to know about if you're male, to be blunt. Drak, if you wanna go another round... you'll be shadowboxing. I don't need to try to change your mind when time will do the job for me.

(That's intended as a compliment, to be clear. You're far ahead of where I was at your age, on pretty much any axis.)

I'm at work, and we have an open floor plan, so, no pic. Yet.

This is very helpful, though, to my ability to gauge where I'm at. I lost some of you, but I am quite certain I'm not lost myself. There is a qualitative difference. And apparently the state is called gnosis, by some. For anyone inclined to latch on to new keywords.

« on: March 25, 2016, 05:25:46 am »

So, I went out to Haven last night... or so I thought. Haven being the local goth night at the local gay club. Only happens once a month these days, so I was psyched. I even took a selfie, which I basically never do.

And then I got there, and the parking lot was empty. I'd misremembered it as the last Thursday of the month, when it was the last Tuesday. And their mobile site is basically nonfunctional, and Google said they were open "today" from 10 PM to 2 AM.

Google rarely lies, so I daresy Google was mislead.
9_9

ANYway, I walked to Haymarket to get a hot drink and some wifi to bitch about Haven being closed. No dice, they closed at 10. So I walked back. And that's a pretty long walk, by my standards, so I did some thinking.

My conclusion was this: If I can't post my dorky face on this forum like all of my incidentally-male friends have decided to do... Gamergate wins. Fear trumps all, fear takes the hand... and maybe the whole damn game.

I am not in the habit of letting fear win.

So. The next time I'm at a computer, y'all are gonna get to see what I look like, all dolled up. Because I look pretty damn cute, for someone who's easily over six feet in heels. (Not that I was wearing heels, because I wanted to dance. But it's the principle of the thing.)

Fark Gamergate. Here where I can say that without being swarmed. I'm not afraid of them, but that doesn't mean I want to have to spend literal minutes of my life figuring out how to block them all.

Oh, and just for good measure: I work at Anzovin Studio. Feel free to Google us, or just go to anzovin.com. We're awesome... and if Gamergate calls my boss, he is going to be PISSED... at them, not me. You wanna SWAT us? You wanna play that game? The cops are gonna be REAL skeptical. But maybe you can. That said, I'm a white woman in what amounts to a suburb of Noho. Ain't no cop gonna shoot me on accident. And I've faced scarier things than a bunch of guys pointing guns at me.

And yes, I'm a little "up" right now. But I'm pretty sure I'm not going to change my mind about this. And if I do... well, I haven't posted the pic yet. You're my sanity check right now, folks.

Who wants to see me? Or: Who thinks I would be making a mistake?

Woot! Congrats Drak!

I have a new car too, actually. 2013 Honda Fit Sport in Midnight Plum. I've always been ambivalent about cars, but she's my fourth and she's perfect. I wanted a used Fit, and going through the dealership was amazing. I tried a white standard model & got a free lesson in driving stick (which gave me a whole new respect for that skill)... and then the sales guy kept me from talking myself into a car I didn't really want, and used their network to find my Pearl.

And YES, Pearl is a dorktastic name for a car. But 'Plum/Damson/Damascene' just didn't stick. So I've got a not-quite-black car named Pearl, and she's my shiny. I've been driving all over the place. Drove in the last snowstorm just to see how she'd handle. 

Gas prices are CRAZY low right now, too. If I weren't so damn busy I'd take a road trip. How about you, got any crazy summer plans? You Canadians still get to escape school in the summer, right?

Heh. Glad to hear it. I'm doing well. I had a mental health crisis, but I'm doing vastly better now that I have the correct diagnosis. I'm keeping busy & staying out of trouble.

As for me-as-Morgan-R... well, I was briefly spooked by Gamergate, and then I kinda did the math and realized that Gamergate can't touch me. I live in a small town. The cops aren't gonna SWAT, they're gonna come knock on the door. And if anyone was dumb enough to harass my folks... well, they'd be pretty damn sorry, pretty damn fast. So I'm probably going to put my current legal name on my (future- hypothetical) CoG games, because why the Fark not. It's an Ellis Island name, but it's mine and I like it.

Basically whatever it needs to be, though I'd prefer not to have to spend more than a thousand dollars. Monitor would be the screen right? Yeah, don't have one of those.

I'd recommend Newegg. Just take a look at their gaming computers, pick something that looks good & fits your budget, cross-check against Killa's know-how, and you'll be good to go. *browses a bit* Hmmm... maybe one of these?

Regardless, don't overthink it. Gamers are just a bunch of geeks who like building their own systems. Which, don't get me wrong, can be fun... but I don't recommend it to a novice who doesn't have a RL mentor. You actually CAN fark up your very expensive components by doing the wrong thing... and cable management is a whole separate minigame, as Killa can attest to.

Not to say Playa's mom is that way, but to simply assume everything will work out is rather naive.

I didn't 'assume'... because we all know what happens when you assume, right?? Ass, u, me, haha very funny?

I told Playa what Playa already knew. You might say I trust beyond reason... to get results beyond hope.

I took it a while ago, but I remember got Bernie Sanders as my number 1, followed by Hillary. For what specifically I can't really recall.

Huh. Bit of an odd one... is anyone actually campaigning to remove "mentions of God" from currency, etc? Because if not, that seems like it might be a priming question...

Man, playa'll have them soon too, you don't see that stopping him.

True dat.

Honestly, if you've got people to spell you, those first few miserable weeks/months of parenthood aren't THAT bad. Or so I've been told. They certainly go fast... at least in retrospect. You blink, and the kid's five, and turning into an Actual Person...

I went into it voluntarily, of course, but alloparenting is pretty much the best, IMHO. I know you're expecting your mom to be pissed off, Playa, and I'm not saying she won't be... but she's gonna love that kid, man. You know she is.

If you're a level headed person

Haha! Yeah, if you're crazy, don't argue with your doctor(s). That way lies an extended stay. ;P

Glad your niece is doing well, Killa. ^_^

Someone bring him back! I need somebody to complain about Ohio with!

Dude's got kids, man... he too busy for complaints.

Tell that to my court psychiatrist

My first psychiatrist brushed me off when I asked about MAYBE being bipolar. They aren't always right. Also, even the "good" one I saw was SUPER condescending, to the point of almost seeming smug. But he did let me out of the hospital, so I guess he was right about things.

My current prescriber is a clinical specialist, & is a super cool AND super helpful guy. Ditto my therapist.

Don't do it, Drak! If you die in the real world, you die on the Internet too!

i5 4590
8GB ram
GTX960
GIGABYTE H97N-WIFI mITX
Corsair CX Series CX500M (Missing )
Cooler Master Elite 130

Then I have a 120GB SSD drive, and another 500 + 640 (or something) normal drives for storage. It's ITX, so it's a pretty small case, meaning if I ever fly I can probably take it with me, which is nice.

Niiice. Mine was the only standard-size case-with-handle I could find. It's held up really well, all things considered. (Carrying it to work & falling down a (short) flight of stairs while holding it)

Hope yours does, too!


Playa: You're an anti-psychopath! That test is rigged. 9_9

I didn't take it, but I'm pretty sure Machiavellian would be my highest stat.
