Bugs Bunny could have simply walked into Mordor. He would have shown up at the gates of Mordor in a disguise and been like "Evil volcano inspection unit" and flashed a fake ID badge to the confused orc.

I want you to remember:

my friends and I have created a game we call Quipposting, where you play quiplash but you roll a wheel full of character archetypes, and whatever it lands on, you all answer as if you are like, a wizard or cowboy. This legitimately makes quiplash go from a fun enough game to an S+ tier absolute unabashed banger

Serving Up Disaster is a TTRPG about a famous yet divisive TV Chef visiting various failing restaurants across the country.

In this game, one player facilitates play, arbitrates the rules, frames scenes, and portrays the character of “Chef”. In each session of play, Chef visits a new location with a whole new restaurant, with the aim of helping its Staff change their bad attitudes, repair their broken relationships, and overcome their intractable problems, to ensure a successful relaunch night, and a bright future of the restaurant.

The other players act as the Staff of the restaurant, playing out their characters’ desires and disasters as they work with Chef to turn their business around.

This game was inspired by binge-watching too many episodes of Kitchen Nightmares, and builds on tools from the Brindlewood Bay game engine.

This is an ashcan version that I'm putting out to hopefully raise some funds to pay for a proper editior / layout artists etc.

Real observations since I started wearing a wizard hat daily:

- Brim is so wide that I stay BONE DRY taking walks in the rain

- Brim can be positioned to block the sun from ever getting in my eyes AND keeping it off the back of my neck

- The pointed top part creates an air pocket, keeping my head from getting hot or squishing my hair as it might in a ball cap

- Hat can easily be pulled down over the tips of my ears without looking dumb, protecting them from wind chill

- Strangers say they like my hat, giving me the chance to tell them that I am a wizard

- When you’re wearing a wizard hat, ALL OTHER FASHION CHOICES become secondary, allowing you to branch out with style

Embrace ego death. Stay protected from all elements. Wear a wizard hat.

one of my side projects while doing mod work on maincord was a MUD server. yes, a text-based multiplayer thing. worked on this with one of the other moderators.

we wanted to make a server space for use during grand siesta where people could wander around and hang out in their dedicated team spaces, or fill a stadium with live chat and random game events.

so of course, we planned HUGE and barely got any of it done. but the bones were there. and the flesh, and the teeth.

we started simple. there was a hallway. the hallway was the inside of the ILB headquarters. and you could go to the egg field, or see the anchor's recording studio, or visit the hall of flames.

I custom wrote code randomising egg names for new players. one of my favourites was "Parkour Templeton".

big fan of Scrub Skeeball, he played for the Tacos, probably

I wrote code for the anchor's recording studio. the anchor stands in his dimly-lit studio with a whiteboard and occasionally writes something on it. sometimes the whiteboard flips over by itself and there's a gruesome scene scrawled on it depicting the Goobie Ballson massacre or something.

wizards (the term for people with OP permissions in MUDs) can choose when to trigger special events, like here where I ripped the anchor in half from feedback. he reforms about 30 seconds later.

my biggest achievement in the blaseball MUD was writing the PEANUT. I wanted our shelled boy to operate like the fucking TARDIS from Doctor Who

when you pulled the red lever the peanut transformed into the shelled one and radiated malice at you. the green lever started it turning.

announce yelled whatever message you put into the room in his RED ALL CAPS STYLE so everybody could hear it

shout did the exact same thing only TO EVERYBODY IN EVERY ROOM ON THE ENTIRE SERVER

and of course it could teleport anywhere while doing all of this

. . . I should start writing code again.

"Investigators are trying to determine the meaning of the bullet messages. The current theory is that the shooter was a fan of a popular video game called 'League of Legends', or 'LOL', where players are encouraged to slaughter the 'enemy team' as quickly and tactically as possible."

what if a second CEO got got and the bullet casings said "WRONG" "GUY" "LOL"

Nothing wrong with that except for the fact I can no longer open Tumblr at work unless I'm in a corner. Trying to browse Tumblr in public is now a bit like playing Russian roulette with dicks instead of bullets

not to be nosey or anything but your blog seems horny af rn

Tumblr After Dark™ be like that sometimes 😇
