How do you make friends to rp with and do OC collabs with?

Oof, honestly that's a hard one to answer, since it's going to vary from person to person.

I've been roleplaying on tumblr since 2020 and writing practically my whole life, so I have some experience running dedicated roleplay blogs, for example. The rpc can be tough to get into depending on what you're looking for and what kind of content you want to write, but for gw2 specifically I admit I didn't go looking for rp blogs and simply found people by commenting on their posts, leaving tags, messaging in DMs and having conversations about our OCs. From there, inviting to a private discord server and writing roleplays that way, once interest was expressed.

So, I suppose all the advice I can give is reach out to people and chat. Find some convo hook to start with like reading up about their OCs and complimenting their stuff! Every community is built on interaction and interest, after all. But ofc actually finding someone you click with is much trickier and you shouldn't get discouraged too much if things don't immediately work out. Also, there's a very fun and friendly gw2 creatives server (though that one's not a rp server) that sleidog runs that you could ask to join! Maybe you'll meet folks this way? ^^

I'm used to public roleplay, which makes me consider making a dedicated public ask/rp blog for Mael at some point, but I have issues roleplaying as a "popular" character (as in, The Commander, who has a more or less preset story) hahaha. So, I stick to my verse and just rp on discord atm. I might do an interest check for a Mael blog since I am having a blast with the non-canon crack rps that happen ingame, so basically, people could send him asks or something and he'd reply IC.

If you want, you can try doing it this way. Make a blog for your OC and let people send asks directly to your OC (or a canon, or whoever you want to write!) Noticed that bhuerracus is doing something like that rn.

Anyway!! Best of luck!! 😄

[escherstrange-ffxiv]

Because @lynxden somehow missed [this post], I am going to make up for it with a slightly longer, wordier post, because, well, nine years, folks.

This involved digging into my external HDD and Facebook for old pics since everything pre-SB was lost. Buckle up and enjoy the ride.

Feb 2015

When I finally jumped into the PS3 Free Trial (it only had 20 days playtime and would delete your chara if you didn't buy the game in 90 days so no meme) I was in a very shitpost-y mood, giggling during character creation.

Pink hair so healers could see him a mile away. Make pink his thing. Give him facial hair because SE men don't have enough facial hair. The scar is from a shaving accident (you can tell I don't shave).

There was no gpose function, only hide HUD but back then screenshots were only to show funny ingame things, not as a form of photography. He wore this robe for AGES because apparently no other gear was better.

2017

"What do you mean I have three lights and they all shine into his face- oh."

The first Gpose I put on IG! This is special because I read a guide that told me how to position lights.

And then I learned how to pretend he was taking a selfie. The world of Gpose was opening up.

I also removed Escher's facial hair because it didn't go with the Aymeric hair. Suddenly he was ✨handsome✨!

Oh no.

2019

Permanently free from my mother's voice in my head telling me to be a functional member of society, I dived into FFXIV with a gusto I never had in any other MMORPG in my life. I actively spoke to my FC, joined raids at 3 AM because EU, started looking up screenshots on Twitter wanting to replicate certain shots for practice.

And then the prevalence of shaders and mods hit me like a brick to my PS4.

A new feeling was born: Spite.

Spite converted my FC room into a studio. Spite that said I would take good shots from my PS4 as the biggest middle finger to anyone who said, "oh vanilla pics will never be good without shaders/mods".

Spite earned me almost USD 50 worth of Mogstation credit from winning screenshot contests so don't knock it until you've tried it!

Escher also turned into a Lala! Lalascher was suuuper cute but it made ingame relationships weird (their words, not mine) and I didn't like the jump animation so back to-

-I MEAN I BOUGHT A SET OF 3, MIGHT AS WELL USE IT?!

Catscher lasted even shorter than Lalascher. I REALLY couldn't stand the tail sticking out of everything, even long skirts (shouldn't a tail technically be under a skirt and pop out like a bustle or-).

2021

In 2019 my house burned down so I had to get an emergency laptop. I finally had a PC capable of playing games so I installed FFXIV on it...with Gshade.

But then stuff happened. You know, the point in every FFXIV player's life where interpersonal relationships affect their mental health. Yeah, that.

I resubbed wanting to use more shaders EXCEPT my laptop's framerate would drop to single digits if I activated anything above gameplay presets so my laptop was only used to log RP chats.

I still play on console because I can play on a big TV screen while still looking at Discord without the overlay wigging out on me. So if I take pictures in new expansions it's always going to be vanilla.

The spite had calmed down a LOT but I already knew what I was capable of. The next step was just figuring out more new and interesting shots.

I also went back to taking pictures of interesting things in game.

2022

I bit the bullet and built a PC. For Gshade. I am 100% serious. Then the whole Gshade thing happened but I ALREADY HAVE A NICE PC FOR THIS, YOU THINK SOME DRAMA IS GOING TO STOP ME? FOOL, SPITE IS MY BLOOD. (I use reshade now)

So have more vanilla pics!

Also Escher became a bani! He was very handsome but the lack of hats was a dealbreaker. Bunnyscher lasted 6 months and was incorporated into the lore as Campanella Strange, First of Their Name, who kicked Escher's soul into the lifestream and borrowed his body-

I'll stop here. Feel free to ask for more details.

Learning to use crime tools meant I could take an alt to JP studios and pose different characters in them. Guilty? Yes. Thrilling? Hell yes.

2023-2024

Aka "The Moon Years". That's it, that's all you need to know. Gosh, there sure are some beautiful clothes out there. Also Escher finally changed his hairstyle after...five years???

I will still die on the vanilla hill though.

Bonus shot of Escher's hairstyles:

And that's it! Thank you for reading the great wall of text, I hope you found it worth your time!

Tagging? I don't know, looks like everyone on tumblr has done this by now, but I'd tag @furys-mercy just because I'd like to see what Mercer looked like in the early days.

[thelemoncoffee]

this is a thing i wrote while half asleep in an angst chat in the saiouma discord im in. this is unedited, i'm just copypasting it directly from the chat

vr au. everyone but the survivors have no memories of the killing game- not the reverting to the freak pregame personalities thing- i mean their ingame selves are who they were pregame and being killed in there just caused their brains to lock up all memories of the game ala amnesia. they have feelings like they should remember something about these people around them but they just can't dig it up, and they know there's something missing cause why else are they in this damn hospital dealing with phantom injuries from a killing game they have no memory of taking part in

this means everyone has to struggle with memory retrieval while the survivors struggle with trauma and also dealing with the fact that their dead friends are back but also don't know who they are

bonus points if Shuichi wanted to get closure with Kokichi and maybe make amends, but Kokichi while dealing with the repercussions of his death on his body decides that whatever the fuck happened to cause him to be in this bad shape is not worth remembering and chooses to reject the memory retrival therapy sessions. Kokichi doing this makes Shuichi's attempts at closure impossible because he can't get closure on something Kokichi is refusing to let himself remember

the closest he can get is just trying to restart completly with him, but even then Kokichi is skeptical to do that cause he gets an extral strong sense of familiarity from Shuichi and fears hanging around him will jog unwanted memories

and bonus bonus points if Kokichi can identify the strong familairity he feels towards Shuichi as him being someone he loved deeply, and due to context clues about the killing game he hears from time to time he thinks they were lovers who had a falling out and it wasn't repaired before Kokichi died. post game they have a little heart to heart where they admit their reasons for their actions post game to one another, and Kokichi admits what he remembers feeling towards Shuichi by discribing it as "it feels as if we were lovers in a past life" and Shuichi not only is shellshocked because this is how he finds out Kokichi was in love with him the whole time, but also he's reminded of when Kokichi said that same thing in the killing game while they were hanging out

Hi!! How do you meet and make genuine friends on Sky? I’ve been playing for a few years now, but whenever I get a chance to chat with other players they either speak a different language or ask me a bunch of personal questions 😵‍💫. There seems to be so many funny and interesting people online but I never meet them in person!

I had to think about this one for a bit since im not good at making friends either JGGHFJ

I think it’s definitely easier to find people to connect with online rather than in game. A lot of the people I’m closer with in sky are usually people I find through online platforms rather than in game (though not saying its impossible to find good ingame friends, just might be harder) . A general thing would be to find those who have similar interests or humour, and as well as to spend time with the friends every once in a while, whether it be candlerunning or just hanging out to talk.

If you want a more in depth rambling of me going on about everything I know about making friends, then:

Ok well this is kinda for anyone reading this JGHJDJ

A general thing about friends is to find a common interest to talk about like OCs, art, sky in general, other games, anything basically, especially if you’re like me and bad at conversations. Even after you find the initial spark, it can get hard to keep up with regular conversations afterwards and it’s easy to drift apart. If you want to get closer with someone it’s definitely good to start conversations every once in a while. This can go from telling them things you think will be funny or showing them things to just things about your day. A lot of people appreciate this kind of thing and usually get comfortable to reciprocate it (unless you’re like me and really bad at stating conversations HFBSIC)

In sky, this can also be asking the other if they want to cr together or eden, even oobing if you’re into that. It gives the chance to hang out and talk to each other.

Of course, if the other person doesn’t respond with a lot of enthusiasm or doesnt seem to put effort into the friendship, it might be time to back off to give them space. They could either be tired and need a break or they arent interested in the friendship anymore. An exception would be if the person is already socially awkward or isn’t good at starting conversations. It can be hard to tell sometimes.

If you wanna find friends

For finding friends online, its usually finding a community and finding people within it or becoming a part of the community. if you’re social enough you can join discord servers and talk to people. Even if you arent as social, discord server can still help find people to interact with, like cr partners, heart trade, needing help people/finding help, that could lead to friendship. There’s also being on social media, though it might be harder if you dont post things or if you arent really noticed or something, though it’s not like you need to be famous to be able to find people. You can also find others on social media who are already asking for friends. Ive seen quite a few on tumblr and sometimes on other platforms where people asks if anyone wants to be sky friends. Twitch, the streaming platform yeah, also has quite a few sky creators that are willing to friend pretty much anyone, which could be another way to find a community (since quite a few people on sky twitch know each other).

For in game in sky: Moths are definitely easier to become friends with since you know guiding them and everything and watching them grow up, except moths are wild cards and some are euaheh weird and others never show up again. A lot of older players already have their own friends and friend groups and then other people play inconsistently or have different timezones/playtimes, so theres a lot more luck when making friends on sky. Best bet would just be keep talking to people and when you do find someone you bond with, continue to join and check in on them every once in a while to keep up the friendship.

Joining friends in game can be scary for many (me included), but it usually ends up not as bad as you think, of course respecting dnd spells (or cape codes if they have those). Even if you do join at an inconvenient time, its a simple “oh, sorry/mb” and you head out, leaving minimal damage and awkwardness.

Of course since this is the internet and people can be bad, if people cross boundaries even after being warned once or multiple times, or you just dont enjoy hanging out with, its okay to block and cut people off. No one is obligated to hang out with anyone nor responsible for the happiness of someone else. Having self worth and internet safety is important folks

Anyways people are complicated and theres a lot of ifs and possibilities and other stuff what not so take whatever advice i spit out mindlessly for granted JFHDO i dont know what im doing

GreenOak Update #1!~

So last night the GreenOak server went down for a brief amount of maintenance, fixed and updated a few plugins while also adding a few new things! Such as fireflies!

These little fellas will spawn around frogs and sheep! (This will require the use of an EMF mod or Optifine) I am currently working on a little something something to make the fireflies even more fun!~

Next thing we did was change how pigs work! Now if you breed two pigs together you will get three piglets! But if you give one pig a carrot, on top of mud,mycelium or podzol they will dig up mushrooms!

Lastly we now have a resource world! This place will reset every few months! So instead of destroying a desert in the main world for sand, you can go to the resource world and dig up as much as you want!

(Oh- and PS! We now have DiscordSRV! So you can chat with people ingame via the discord!)

Want to come enjoy these features and many more to come? Well- come join the discord! To get more information on how to play! :D

Upscaling older game screenshots! Dungeons and Dragons online

Dungeons and Dragons Online and Lord of the Rings Online are 2 amazing games with really indepth character development engines.

DDO is based as closely as it possibly can be on the D&D system using rolls for initiative, combat etc all in realtime gameplay but the graphics do turn away allot of potential players until the idea of Realtime Upscaling, I believe I saw in some NVidia news that they are working on realtime upscaling. These games are also free to download and install with in game addons and items that can be bought but are not necessary to enjoy the game. Also with the popularity of RP like that GTARP and RDRORP using FiveM and RedM clients this is also a game that you can party up with other players and role play over something like Discord or even ingame chat. I have actually streamed RP in this game where my characters thoughts and words are RP'ed out as he explored dungeons and cities, I also recently discovered in the keybindings with the help of a friend that you can WALK in game! Yes, RP Walk!! Its somewhat of a joke with allot of RP players in GTA for example that are constantly running everywhere!! I used Razer Axon's Upscaling AI Tool which is actually Leonardo.AI and it did some great upscaling allowing me to take a rather smooth looking character face and really add character and depth.

The resolution and detail on upscaling is pretty amazing allowing zooming in:

You can see that the Tusk has changed to Beard and the Ears are rounded but still, its pretty damn impressive. Im watching for realtime upscaling and its a ways away I believe for anyone to use but I did find an interesting article that mentions Cupscale which is free...

3.0 Server Restart

@everyone Due to how activity has dwindled down to next to nothing, we have decided to temporarily close the server, and relaunch a 3.0 version that will make the server a little more unique and fun!

Now what is being kept? Plugins, and datapacks will be mostly the same, along with that the event world will be kept. Along with your inventories!

What isn't being kept? The main world will be reset! However you will be able to download it off Planet Minecraft and you will also have a window to move your stuff from the 2.0 world to the 3.0 world! (We are also trying to find a way for you to take pets with you!)

When will this be happening? The process will begin on the 19th at 6pm EST. The server will go on whitelist and the #ingame-chat will be temporarily closed (As to not show spoilers! ;3) Once we have everything set we will reopen the server and you all will have a month to transfer your stuff to the new world!

In the meantime if you have any suggestions for things to add or change for the 3.0 version please feel free to leave them in #server-suggestions and we will review them!

Thank you all so much for playing 2.0, and let's hope for a strong and amazing 3.0! ~GreenOak Staff!~

[svtskneecaps]

question for my dear blue/green mains; have they stated any outright reasons why they use discord over ingame voice chats?

my assumption had been they chose discord because it made it easier to talk to players nearby who aren't in the call, since the group requires you to click through two screens in order to exit it and be heard, but someone earlier said it was because they didn't want the speech bubbles with translations to be visible / to not show up in the translation chat box. have the teams explained their reasoning?

SOULBREAKER DIGEST: June 2024

[<- Prev] [No Next]

Another month another written devlog on the cryodon website!

I wont be going over what was said in the log, I only do that for videos, but I will be showing off what happened in the discord right after it was posted! Dingo and Felix shared some goodies with us!... And also I am going to show ONE image from the devlog... LOOK AN INGAME SCREENSHOT FINALLY!!! IM SO EXCITED

First order of business is that:

Felix has confirmed the Soulbreaker DOES indeed have heterochromia! This can obviously seen from the image shown in the new devlog, but it's nice to have written confirmation... AS WELL

Felix has also confirmed that the image we see of the soulbreaker in the devlog is their new official dialogue sprite!! (Which also means no silent protagonist yay!)

In unrelated (not) news, Felix has declared me, Soy, and Alyn to be the top three Soulbreaker fans. (I have taken this to mean that I am #1, because I am unreasonably obsessed with Soulbreaker.)

As well, Felix dropped us a blank of the Soulbreaker's talk sprite to play with after I asked!

And OO boy as a server we had fun with this.

I'd include more but Tumblr is struggling to let me and I'm worried I might hit image limit! For more please chech #soulbreaker-chat in the Fool's Gold Discord...!

Ok... One more...

Felix... Felix Didnt like this one...

After this the shennanigans died down... Until dingo slipped into chat to drop a few more official talksprites!

Unlike all the ones I've shown until now, these were drawn by Dingo!

One interesting thing is that the images Dingo sent have a slightly different looking base on the horn. It's probably nothing but it is something I noticed

After that not much more happened, I simply did some more official looking edits of the Soulbreaker talk sprite blank, that I will post later in their own post!

Thanks for reading the Soulbreaker Digest! Remember to wishlist Soulbreaker on steam!

[slo2004blog]

I wish I had the fucking words for this Discord torment nexus moment and fucking ableism I retroactively witnessed today. Tried figuring out mod team's position on the r slur in this multiplayer "bigotry intolerant" server (got the vibes admins wouldn't openly condemn people using it in game) so I searched it up in their discord. For reference I also did tranny, faggot, and n slur, barely cracked 200 results each and only showed up in mod logs and toxic player reports. For the r slur it was over 33000. Which included the integrated ingame ooc chat. Between server creation 2019 and now that's over 20 times a day. What's more I used the syntax "r slur" to see who wouldn't use it, who tried stopping it. Only 34 instances, mix of "Don't use r slur" and "Whats the r slur?" and I could jump to each message to see the defences players and mods alike made. Wow. What a moment. I wanna vomit. And in the end, this isn't even a special Discord feature, I could've gotten these numbers if everything had happened on a forum/wiki.

Anyways FUCK ableists, FUCK the queers who think unlearning ableism is beneath them, and FUCK Yogstation's staff and playerbase.

Current Activities in Fallout 76 #1

So I haven't been blogging very much lately because my Youtube channel more or less does the "current activities" job for me. There's no point in transcribing something when it's basically just laid out in video form somewhere else. I couldn't really locate any kind of "First impressions" of Fallout 76. But that's okay because it's brief. It was boring. It was difficult. It didn't have, and still doesn't have any mod capabilities. I need the subscription service to make my own private world with its own rules (XP gains, material gains, health values) to make the game most comfortable for me personally. I have a distinct memory of struggling with having 20 to 100 bullets in the only weapon worth using at the time. Some of these problems have been alleviated. Some have not. The game just throws ammo at you now. A lot of the loot is based on whatever weapon you have actively equipped at the time of lootgen. You could gun down a bunch of ghouls with a 10mm, switch to something else, but the mobs will just have the 10mm on them. Now, this mechanic typically does not sustain a full automatic, but it is still a nice and pleasant feature. Next. Is it hard? Kind of. The enemies constantly scale with you. Some areas have caps, like even now at 89 I still run into level 50 enemies but other times they're still at-scale so even basic cultist enemies are just huge sponges against the might of my .50cal full auto machinegun. As a result, my level, health pool, armor rating, and all of that means nothing when everything in the world is just keeping up with me. I fear the days I reach into the hundreds and have to deal with some level 230 ghoul with the health pool to match and I'm still using the same 50cal because it's the only gun I've found that actually does any meaningful damage to anything. This game turned weight/loot management into one of the main gameplay loops and I really, really don't like that. I literally mod the weight out of junk in other Fallout games just so I can craft with impunity.

The game shoves me in this play-farm-repair-farm-repair-play loop that I don't much care for. Since eventually you have to start sacrificing pieces of your 1200lbs of storage... I once dumped 1000 units of steel only to later have a steel shortage because I was running out of it to craft my ammo to sustain my gun at the time.

Recently FO76 patched in such a way that makes questing almost unbearable. Every time you open the map it just slingshots to the top left. Objectives won't show up. Sometimes your teammates won't show up. Sometimes player camps won't show up. You have to hop-scotch your way towards every objective because not every quest gives you directions, ye olde-Morrowind style. Sometimes the journal just literally says "go do the thing", and my objective marker DOES show up on the minimap and nowhere else. So we have to hop location to location to see when the objective marker actually moves. It's an insane glitch and I haven't been able to progress the story in any meaningful way.

Every time I see something cool and ask about it the answer is "atom shop item" about 80% of the time.

So that is a fair bit of frontloaded negativity. There is a drive to see what's on the horizon. I'm 89, I want to reach 100 to nab that third legendary perk. The community's reputation for charity is well earned. If I'm struggling with the loop mentioned above, I can usually either ask the discord or directly ingame through the Chat mod (chat literally has to be a mod in this game because jesus christ why isn't it there to begin with). A simple matter of asking "hey can someone lend me some 50cal ammo? I'm stuck in a loop here..." and then someone gave me 20,000 ammo for my gun of choice that after three days of playing a few hours at a time, I've only expended a fourth of (meanwhile still replenishing it myself as my materials allow).

But I'm about to hit that loop again as I've run out of asbestos and springs to repair my armor. I'll have to downgrade my personal armor to something more sustainable. Or just ask chat.

Despite the glitch above I do want to see the end of the rainbow. I want to finish the story. I want... things. While I'm not sure I'll get the same 600 hours I did on FO4 through heavy modding and changing the experience on a fundamental level... I just might, kind of against my will as I get stuck in farming/repair loops and waiting for fusion cores to recharge (which is actually a very nice item to have at a reasonable atoms price of 500).

At 69 hours (heh) I'm still learning plenty. I just don't have too much hope for personal longevity.

This is from long ago, but the ingame memorial was on January 8th, 2020. This was a dear friend of mine from years ago on Overwatch 1. I set up an ingame memorial a week after we all found out he passed away and all his friends were present. We also hosted a voice chat within my discord to talk about him and the memories we have. You were always willing to put a smile on everyone's face with your presence, my friend. You were there for me when I needed a friend, and I value that every day. For the crusaders! You may be gone, but your legacy lives on in memories and within Overwatch!
