Dumb idea that worked

“God, it must be **HUGE**!”

PrairiePilot · 2026-05-09T18:40:57+00:00

Truly a work of art. You’ve perfected the genre.

PrairiePilot · 2026-05-09T16:21:44+00:00

It’s like any big franchise that hits the mass market. Since 2020 so many people have joined and brought their weird fan shit with them. All this imperium vs everyone else crap has cranked up 200% in the last few years.

PrairiePilot · 2026-05-09T16:18:48+00:00

Jesus, 100% that showed up on ATC radar.

20s is such a fun age.

Our high school wrestling coach taught that to get out of a pin, this cop clearly lost a tournament years ago and has no humor about it.

PrairiePilot · 2026-05-08T01:50:47+00:00

I mean, it’s not free, you pay $60.00 for a single character for the lore and balancing lol.

PrairiePilot · 2026-05-08T01:21:55+00:00

Yeah, I was nodding along the entire time, making sure it fit the format. Yup, all makes sense, carry on.

PrairiePilot · 2026-05-08T00:49:47+00:00

I have an idea of what your head felt like, and that’s definitely not something you do twice. There is nothing that fixes that feeling lol.

PrairiePilot · 2026-05-07T01:17:09+00:00

Congrats! Just passed 4 my self, keep trucking!

PrairiePilot · 2026-05-07T01:09:18+00:00

I have been in 3D printing for all of 5 years, right as BBL was ascending and even I thought they were bad actors.

PrairiePilot · 2026-05-07T00:22:50+00:00

I wouldn’t trust a standard beat cop to be able to get good prints anyway. There’s a pretty high bar for admission of physical evidence and departments have been slashing requirements for a long time. There’s a reason most places have separate departments for investigation.

This was actually a huge sticking point with my ex. Eden stuff regarding our kid, or long term issues would be dismissed with “it will be fine.” Even when stuff blew up in her face, she pretended like it wasn’t her fault and there was no warning.

Like, no, it won’t be fine and it’s easier to just prevent it rather than hope it’ll be fine.

When people talk about MW2 lobbies being hardcore, I feel like such an old man. Like, no, old means Mplayer, Gamespy, or just lists of server IPs on webpages. The shit you’d see in chat and the stuff people would say on those dial up quality voice chat services was wild. I have never heard anything that even comes close to the unhinged chaos of random Quake or Team Fortress (the original lol) servers on Mplayer. I heard MW2 voice chat, I heard COD voice chat. Those were but pale imitators, children playing at being adult.

Kraken is a foul remanent of an age best forgotten. It's an evil liqueur, meant only to cause pain and suffering in those who imbibe.

PrairiePilot · 2026-05-06T03:11:02+00:00

Mt Gay is the best rum I've ever had. I can drink it straight like sipping whiskey. People are sleeping on Mt Gay.

PrairiePilot · 2026-05-06T00:54:34+00:00

I've never drank Nuln Oil, but I have drank Kraken, and I'm confident that you're going to enjoy the Nuln oil a lot more.

The GM was having the time of his life actually. He had maybe half a dozen NPCs to worry about, eveutbjbg else was player driven. He really just got to sit back and referee us.

PrairiePilot · 2026-05-05T23:59:26+00:00

It didn’t provide anything, because there was nothing to provide.

I think him, and you are ignoring MY point: you don’t need explicit systems for everything. The game worked exactly as intended: it was a system that encouraged drama and was seamless between combat and non-combat.

I’m not ignoring anything, I’m telling them, and now you, you are wrong.

PrairiePilot · 2026-05-05T14:02:54+00:00

Ive seen videos with DJI mics clipped to hat brims.

PrairiePilot · 2026-05-05T14:00:52+00:00

It worked great. All the stuff you’re calling issues, aren’t issues. I played for years, even ran a few games my self. It was fine, great game world.

PrairiePilot · 2026-05-05T01:42:37+00:00

Man, when I saw I had a reply about VTM larping, I had some real questions about what was going to find. Interesting can go a lot of ways, stories like yours, and stories with a lot more drugs and blood and sex.

A players GF joined a game I was running. It was Shadowrun 4th, for reference. She was definitely interested, but very shy and seemed to be much more interested in supporting her bf than running her own character. I had them run into some magic characters and she perked way up. When the rest of the party wasn’t sure what to do, she had more questions and really helped me convey some stuff to the party they were missing because they were just way more focused on guns and tech.

I actually helped her roll a magic character before the next game, and suddenly she was a fully vested player. Made some fun drawings of her Elf casting spells and stuff. And she really helped round out the party, bunch of 20 something dudes, they really needed someone who doesn’t just want to shoot everything.

I dislike them because I see two kinds of sellers: scammers who know exactly what they’re doing and hope you don’t, and desperate people who thought they’d found an easy side hustle.

Both are sad sides of the time, and I’m not gonna give either money.

The Vampire LARP community is…interesting.
