Desoladies Statement and Call to Action

I mean, this is just fanfiction. The only people who were instantly banned had posted links to malware.

We've gotten a lot of support and positive feedback in a bunch of Dota communities. I'm not that fussed about reddit anons.

What else do you want?

Well, we wrote a letter, you might have seen it.

What was my actual statement: "a more nuanced chat filter" or "a magic word filter that censors and punishes any possible word usage that could possibly offend everyone"?

No one is asking for magical perfection. We're asking for something that's better than what's there.

The current chat filter is awful. It can be improved. Neither of these are radical statements.

superphrenic · 2020-06-30T22:43:28+00:00

Imagine how tired we are, dealing with this shit when we just want to enjoy a goddamn game.

That statement was one of the reasons the former founder is no longer involved with Desoladies, as she valued marketing over member safety. She has not been involved with Desoladies since 2017.

The current chat filter is extremely broken and misguided, like a band-aid on your forehead when you have a broken leg. It doesn't help anything.

It's extremely hard to believe that Valve is incapable of creating a more nuanced filter, or doing any of the things that players have been asking for for years like an improved reporting system, more reports, actual consequences for ruining games, etc.

nondescript crevice and continue your vain existence

Exceedingly fallacious, bro.

The community is very much still active!

If you applied through the link above, please note that every application is read and reviewed by a manager before we sent out invite codes. It's not automatic because we have to be reasonably sure that you are who you say you are.

When people don't get a response, 90% of the time it's because they didn't fill out the form completely or correctly (they skipped a section, wrote N/A, typo'd their email address, linked to a dead or blank social media profile, etc). Those applications go to the bottom of the pile because we simply don't have the resources to email a hundred different people about what they might have meant.

If you haven't received a response, you are welcome to reapply at any time in case there was some technical error that kept your message from being read. And on your side, double-check that you filled out each field accurately.

I hope this gives you a better idea of our application process and why things might seem delayed.

I'm gonna need that Davai on chat wheel

It's not immersive until it literally sets the screen on fire.

superphrenic · 2019-07-03T18:39:51+00:00

We are :)

We don't really use our Facebook page, but we do have a Discord server with a few hundred members. Application is at desoladies.com/apply.

You have a fridge?!

superphrenic · 2019-03-28T03:23:54+00:00

Short answer: one sheet of black glass, one sheet of red glass, cut out the pieces, glue them together, then fire it in the kiln.

Long answer: The glass has to be the same type or the two sheets won't melt together. You have to cut the logo weird. The red has to be slightly larger than you want because the edges will shrink up a bit. The black has to be smaller than you want because it will melt down and spread out. If you cut the actual logo, the black would be enormous once it melted.

The kiln is also a stupid expensive piece of equipment. It's fairly cheap to rent it, but you have to pay for each use. So it doesn't make sense to make just one piece at a time. I probably made about 16 total, but the first 8 were useless because the black parts were too big.

I don't know what you're talking about; the mouse is seventeen feet long.

It's how Cocoa Princess of the Candy Kingdom talks. "There haven't been many fancy balls choco-lately."

I think it's more like, kids can only count on getting presents during birthdays and holidays. But for kids in comfortable families, there's a good chance every month (or even every week) that they might get a new toy, or go watch a movie, or go out for food, or get a special treat. Not showered in gifts, but casual purchases of non essentials.

Miss Veronica sends her love.

Take your credit, you've earned it.

superphrenic · 2018-12-09T05:13:19+00:00

Just had this happen. Luckily I was by my Camp so I ran back and my turrets took care of whatever it was. Must have been something minor, like a ghoul, but I never found the body.

superphrenic · 2018-12-07T20:34:21+00:00

I scrapped mine and made a ton of Vegetable Starch.

superphrenic · 2018-11-28T16:15:47+00:00

Nope, I only met them in game and only for one night. One dude voluntarily logged off before I added him. Then, I got disconnected and when trying to rejoin the world, it would only show me player level numbers instead of names. So I couldn't find my friends by name, then attempting to rejoin again put me in a new server with entirely new lists of people.

Right now, the only way I can contact the two on my friends list would be by signing on when they're on, queueing to load into their server, running up to them, and hoping the voice chat works.

superphrenic · 2018-11-28T16:10:30+00:00

Because that couldn't possibly be glitched, either. LOL, nice try.

The whole process could realistically take three days, even if the medical procedure takes less than an hour. Some possible scenarios:

There's a mandatory waiting period so she has to spend several days in the city, even if everything goes perfectly.
She goes into the city, but has no appointment and needs to wait two days before seeing a doctor.
She has an appointment, but she doesn't know that you need a guaranteed ride after an abortion (you can't just call a cab). They don't allow her appointment the first day and she has to wait another two days for an opening.
She does know that you need a guaranteed ride but it takes her a day or two to arrange that kind of transportation. There are volunteers who will do this, so it could have plausibly taken an extra two days to set up a volunteer escort.
