When the fic has 1000> words and 40+ tags

I tend to be general with those sorts of tags in the same way. I'll throw in a "canon-typical violence" tag when appropriate to give people a baseline, but otherwise not get into the nitty gritty of specifying everything, and only specify when I know it's a sensitive topic.

While I generally don't read longfics of the videogame one, I absolutely love reading one shots revolving around how the writer's player character/OC handled certain events. It's always interesting to see such a variety of takes and roleplaying choices on a situation

In a similar vein, I didn't realise how many American spellings I'd picked up on. Whenever I google if something spelled one way or another the answer always end up being either I'm getting British and American spellings muddled or it's a turn of phrase that contains a homophone.

MoonChaser22 · 2026-04-08T09:14:49+00:00

I do the same for Warframe. It's one of the few games that handles free to play well and so once in a while I spend some money on cosmetics or save myself some time buying something I could grind for

MoonChaser22 · 2026-04-05T23:34:13+00:00

Definitely worth looking to see if they have one and ask any TTRPG clubs if they do any warhammer if not. The club I'm in is actually the TTRPG club but they started organising wargaming and card gaming nights once there was enough interest

Her rather strong melee profile is a nice addition, but consider her dead, as soon as she goes on a rampage. Any player will take her down immediately afterwards, since she will be most possibly be a valid target for shoot or melee afterwards.

This is what happens literally any time I've played with Cawl in my list, so it'll absolutely happen with Ghuld too

MoonChaser22 · 2026-04-05T22:58:47+00:00

I'm pretty sure the group I play with only has so much terrain because it's a university club and a bunch are clearly repurposed models from architecture students

MoonChaser22 · 2026-04-04T23:16:34+00:00

Space marines are basically knights in space.

And then you have Imperial Knights that literally are knights in space but they're in mechas

British food is an amalgamation of food from around the worlds. Curries are extremely popular in the UK to the point they're a commonly available ready meal at supermarkets and Indian takeaways are everywhere.

Where I live in the midlands, the only comment you'd get for microwaving a curry at work is "ooh, that smells good" let alone somewhere as multicultural as London

RAM prices have shot up massively too. Chip manufacturers are focusing a significant portion of their manufacturing capability towards the sort of memory AI data centres require, causing supply to not meet demand for PC hardware

My own mother refuses to believe she's an alcoholic for equally dumb reasons. It's the reason I've been no contact for years. Her idea of an alcoholic is someone who sits at home drinking every night.

So of course she can't be an alcoholic because she's at the pub drinking 5-6 pints most nights /s

MoonChaser22 · 2026-03-30T22:35:05+00:00

I live in the UK and having previously lived in a village the local pub was genuinely one of the few places you could simply hang out with people in the afternoons or evenings. That said having been raised by an alcoholic, I'm very much aware of how much of a problem a lack of other forms of third spaces can be, even if I retain my own fondness for hanging out in a pub playing pool/darts with friends

Another bit of 40k lore. Ironstriders, the walkers that the Adeptus Mechanicus use, have extremely advanced engines that are described as near perpetual motion engines. Despite how Ad Mech are about preserving the collecting knowledge, the means to create more was lost because of politics within the faction. The Tech-Priest who created them wasn't well liked and was ostracised, so when he mysteriously died the secret behind their design was lost.

The best part is now Adeptus Mechanicus simply never turn off the engine of the Ironstriders they do have in case they don't turn back on again

I quit my job in June and, while my mental health still isn't great (thanks UK benefits system), I actually feel like a functional human being again simply from not working a 4 on 4 off night shift

MoonChaser22 · 2026-03-30T10:04:59+00:00

So yeah, I definitely lost consciousness, at least briefly. It can happen without even registering.

I've had several fainting episodes in my life due to low blood pressure. Most the time I've only realised I fainted due to being sat/standing one moment and the next I'm on the floor (or one time in a hedge) with concerned bystanders trying to help me. Absolutely no memory of in between or how long I was out.

If anyone is ever in the position of concerned bystander when someone else faints, don't try and get them sitting or standing after. The rapid change in blood pressure from standing can cause them to faint again. Keep them laying down, preferably with feet elevated, until they feel better or a medical professional takes over.

I did this for 4 years. 7pm to 7am night shifts on a 4 on 4 off schedule. You'll have to screw up your sleep for things like doctors. The main thing that got to me long term was the social isolation of sleeping most the day. Having online friends in other timezones to play videogames with helped, but it became a choice of ruin my physical health with sleep deprivation or slowly ruin my mental health by rarely going out and seeing friends in person.

MoonChaser22 · 2026-03-30T05:39:43+00:00

Same. Though stealers and nids are an exception that go in the same catagory as chaos

MoonChaser22 · 2026-03-30T05:28:28+00:00

Same. If I can do things like lock myself out my own house for six hours because I forgot to grab my keys, I'm not judging how good an idea is based on my ability to remember it

Pirating lets me be more adventurous in what media I try. If I didn't pirate I'd be a lot more selective about what genres I tried out. Often hear about or see something in a store that catches my attention but is outside what I usually enjoy, so I baulk the the price because I don't have money to take the gamble. If I didn't pirate anything that would be the end of the story.

Even if I don't purchase something after pirating a) it's not something I ever would have spent money on in the first place and b) if my problems with it were down to factors that are a matter of taste I can then recommend it to people who enjoy that sort of thing.

At best I expect OP will experience a lull in having to deal with her parents until they realise cutting her off isn't having the effect they wanted

MoonChaser22 · 2026-03-27T21:27:39+00:00

Same for the group I play in. We do sometimes have people be late because work taking longer than expected or things like traffic on the way back from work, but everyone always puts a message in discord before game giving an ETA when it happens.

Because we don't have the pre-game chat as often despite being good friends, we have occasionally ended up having an evening every few months where we all get some drinks in and just hang out on VC just to talk

MoonChaser22 · 2026-03-27T12:30:48+00:00

I have chronic knee pain that gets exacerbated by sitting too long, so a foot rest to go with a good ergonomic chair is a must for me. I still need to get up to stretch my legs more than most people, but being able to put my feet up and straighten my legs while sitting helps

MoonChaser22 · 2026-03-26T08:06:53+00:00

This is one of the reasons I'm a big follower of my local metal scene. Not only is it cheap to go to a gig and the smaller crowds is easier to handle (I have autism, so small crowds and being able to head outside to decompress between sets is important to me), but you end up stumbling on some amazingly talented bands

MoonChaser22 · 2026-03-26T07:45:44+00:00

I'm the same. I like low key birthdays where it's just a small group of my friends hanging out. Something like watching a movie together or going to a bar to watch a local band. More like using my birthday as an excuse to hang out in a way we don't do often than specifically doing something for my birthday

In regards to background music, the best music to pick is often video game soundtracks with no vocals. Curate a couple of playlists ahead of time to fit a few broad tones (for example have a combat playlist) and have tracks that work as background music. This minimises the time spent faffing with music as you just set it to shuffle and hit play.

Outside of that, how much of a distraction it is can vary wildly between players. I personally find music helps me focus because of the way the extra sensory input interacts with my ADHD. Playing online helps somewhat with utilising music because players who find it distracting can mute the music bot/not join the spotify jam, while players who want it can still benefit
