In Golden Flame

[hybrid salmon]

maybe when i've managed the part where i feel overwhelmed despite being pretty objectively not

[minor orchid]

Quill

take it easy

first and foremost heh

[zinc topaz]

sufficiently whelmed

[cobalt zealot]

I really want to run that scion game again

There was a really cool Egyptian character my husband was playing

[west phoenix]

Idk how to check my word count on google docs mobile for the 2 'projects' I've been working on recently

Ah, nearly 3,000.. and thats just the loose setting info

[cobalt zealot]

I have a notes doc that's about 10000 words but I never once wrote anything more than notes

[west phoenix]

8k on my Wallflower act 2

[west phoenix]

Ah, i guess the same

Well i mean that these were from notes, i have written a lot in the past lol

I would like to make my own module... But first i need something to make the module about, and actually, you know, make sure it doesn't suck

I have an idea that could be between 3 and 5 chapters, but tbh I don't like 3 chapter modules because you just end up being stuck in a GMS frame for the entirety of it if you go tier 1, but 5 is a huge commitment

https://tenor.com/view/cat-rest-lazy-laying-bed-gif-20013578

[cobalt zealot]

You could decide to do LL2-5

[west phoenix]

Yeah that's not really a thing I've noticed, probably for good reason

And I don't want my first module to do anything that weird like that its a hard enough sell as is lol

[cobalt zealot]

Or heck just... Let people take a license level on rent.

Unrelated but does anyone here like Exalted?

[zinc topaz]

this is the very first thing i designed when trying to make my own system just bc i hated d&d check resolution

mainly how your odds of acing something or fucking it up horribly dont actually change at all with how good you are at doing that thing

[noble ivy]

I remember you and Grimoire talking about some of your characters from exalted

[cobalt zealot]

Yeah that game died

[zinc topaz]

exalted has always looked cool from a distance but i havent interacted with it at all

[cobalt zealot]

I would be reusing my Lunar but I don't think Grimoire would participate

[zinc topaz]

the visual style fucks though

bored at work im gonna sketch a mech

[limber fossil]

oh like in pf2e

[minor orchid]

MECH SKETCHES

[noble ivy]

METCHES(???)

[cobalt zealot]

It really does. I love being a mortal with a shard of a god stapled to their soul.

Mostly asking b/c it would be very nice to have an extra person for an Exalted game a friend of mine wants to revive

Five players maximum, and there's three of us

And well

I like this channel

And the people in it

I think we have a Lunar, Infernal, and Alchemical?

[willow needle]

i am finally designing my amber phantom

and

holy shit what a headache

[zinc topaz]

me trying to design my lich rn

[west phoenix]

I promise it's fun, i find it therapeutic

[balmy obsidian]

I "designed" my dusk wing by stealing getting heavy inspiration from abiotic factor

[minor orchid]

I

can't thank enough for people doing cool designs

[west phoenix]

I could never imagine making my system, I'm so bad at game mechanics

[willow needle]

i had fun designing my chomo (i need to finish it lol

[west phoenix]

And i mean... Everything else, but writing is my strongest

[cobalt zealot]

I just found a pic online for my Hecatoncheires

And collaged one together for the Sierra

[supple carbon]

No legs

[minor orchid]

https://tenor.com/view/xlr8-ben10-gif-27428483

[cobalt zealot]

GMS Sierra

[hybrid salmon]

Yeah I just steal pics from online; not much of a visual artist

[minor orchid]

Me when I have to find tokens for NPC's without images

[cobalt zealot]

Visual art is difficult

[west phoenix]

I... Kitbash kind of? I really like the pixel art aspect of it

Its the only art i can do because i mostly steal, I don't make my own parts

[zinc topaz]

i will have a lich drawing soon but in the meantime look how pretty the mountains are rn here

[west phoenix]

Ooooo

[zinc topaz]

trying to stylistically match retrograde pixel art pieces is really hard imo

[minor orchid]

Drink and ascend

[west phoenix]

Which is why I can't do that

[supple carbon]

Guys does ||S1gn4l|| have hair or is he bald(?)

Non important question

[west phoenix]

The only one that i feel like i managed to mix multiple parts like this together are the sunzi/Napoleon and that one artillery everest, but they're still very basic

[balmy obsidian]

I said badness

[cobalt zealot]

Just kill him like I wanted to

[balmy obsidian]

it's a joke about being a baddie

oh thanks for reminding me juli, i gotta make a s1gn4l speek translator

[west phoenix]

Bro always has the wildest things he's doing and gives us short notice
He's unemployed!!!!

[minor orchid]

S1GN4L translator

[noble ivy]

4nd put m3 0ut 0f 4 j0b??!?

[clever cloud]

"Im moving to China tomorrow, sorry, something came up"

[clever cloud]

Yes. automate all things

[west phoenix]

Bruh fr

He did that with his move to Chicago

"can't make the session for the next 2 weeks moving to Chicago starting tomorrow"

Huh????

You just figured this out???

I still want to run it, my chapter 3 is looking to be 9-12 sessions long... Thats a lot to get through

[noble ivy]

btw I was fully prepared to meta game and leap infront of your bullets for s1gn4l

[west phoenix]

Considering Archie and S1GN4L working together to help with Hell's Gate cyber security or to create the most devious virus known to Calliope, idk yet

[clever cloud]

"we protect hell's gate's computers by destroying every other one"

[west phoenix]

What better way to find the weaknesses in the system :)

I imagine they leave silly little programs and files when they can successfully infiltrate a system. "G0773M.omif"

https://tenor.com/view/cat-spin-spinning-poly-maxwell-gif-27240400

And its just this

[noble ivy]

no its "G0773M.0M1F.omif"

[west phoenix]

LOL

[supple carbon]

I truly hate this guy, what a great character

[west phoenix]

That could also be the virus that destroys the infrastructure of someone Archie doesn't like as well, i still need to deciiiide

[noble ivy]

my second favorite character in this book

[west phoenix]

I've yet to really interact with him, Serenity forgot who he is lmao

Archie and him could be besties which is terrifying

[noble ivy]

-# can you guess what my favorite character in calliope is?

[wild flame]

(M3) ||The Crone||

[west phoenix]

||The crone ||

[noble ivy]

oi spoiler mark that

[balmy obsidian]

"can you guess my favorite character" she says while still wearing the (ch3) "I ❤️ the ||crone||" shirt bandana and mug

[noble ivy]

really the shirt says " I 💜 [CH3 spoiler]"

[west phoenix]

Idk if i even have a favorite character

Idk... Maybe Loki? There's so many I haven't met

A lil sad i never met Gabriel, him and Serenity would get along swimmingly i think

He could fix her

[noble ivy]

Unsolicited Juli Fact: [CH2 Spoiler] ||I introduced Gabriel to my players and they instantly went|| "who the fuck is this evil twink" ||just like they did with loki...||

[west phoenix]

I did think Loki was that as well

[willow needle]

now i know theres some ||random old woman|| that happens to be the fav character of juli(?) (saw the spoiler before being spoilered)

[noble ivy]

Don’t worry about it

[minor orchid]

everybody is an evil twink

[minor orchid]

be joyous about it

[supple carbon]

[opal canyon]

Man we’ve spent much time in each chapter how did we miss someone

[clever cloud]

dude. you met like 4 npcs that chapter. there's over 20

you could easily make an entire campaign out of ch2 and 3 individually

[minor orchid]

Honestly?

YES

[noble ivy]

Honestly, IGF is a better field guide for a setting than most dedicated setting guides out there...

[minor orchid]

Indeed

[noble ivy]

wait no I need a shirt that says "[CH3 spoiler] is my comfort character"

[dire cloud]

[Act2 spoiler] is my comfort character.

[minor orchid]

I still... haven't read anything of act 2

I have the feeling to-

[zinc topaz]

ok

i said i was bored and i was going to draw and as soon as i did i got Curse of 1,000,000,000,000 Customers

but i have something thats at least readable i thibk

granted it's made with a shitty mechanical pencil and highlighters i have behind the counter

but. do we see the vision

[balmy obsidian]

I will make a new armor set out of it

[shell bison]

Honey Bun: Hello Calliope, I have failed you all and ate something on my fast. I made it a total of 14 hours so minor l on me.

[minor orchid]

Curse of ⚒️

[minor orchid]

SPOODER CODED!

[zinc topaz]

i am gonna try and emulate its abilities with gear

[balmy obsidian]

Excellent

[zinc topaz]

so i'm thinking kraul rifle and something that can inflict something that's like sleep

[noble ivy]

spare-dataslate-58: *Throws fresh spinach at you

[shell bison]

Honey Bun: *munching noises*

[zinc topaz]

maybe webjaw snare from vlad? for "webs"

[minor orchid]

But also i get pacing, i get wrapped up in my head about pacing too

[minor orchid]

you literally make it out of chp2 at LL12 from all the secondary missions

"nothing much has happened... My players must hate it"
My players: "NPC make me happy :)"

@willow needle

friendly reminder :>

[willow needle]

[west phoenix]

Literally my favorite sessions are the ones where we're just hanging around and goofing off

I appreciate the stress and pushing the narrative but also... Loki c:

[shell bison]

@last leaf I have an idea, check dms

[willow needle]

rEALLY rough sketch of my amber phantom

[west phoenix]

A gift to Serenity?

[robust plank]

Damn, does it have a knife pocket?

[balmy obsidian]

[west phoenix]

No, it has a warp rifle pocket

[robust plank]

dont forget to be yourself

[zinc topaz]

one of my players has spent the last year writing lesbian selfship fic about a throwaway npc i made that her self insert pc ended up falling in love with

[west phoenix]

Real...

[zinc topaz]

i spent like an entire afternoon writing a different npc and my notes on her were literally "evocation wizard elf" and she ended up becoming like a main party member basically

the one i wrote a fuck ton for

never seen againe

[west phoenix]

Funny the only NPC i considered writing about in a sense like that is ||Ignatius|| lmao

Enemies to enemies who fuck

Idk if thats even going to be relevant, they met once but i know Eleonor wants to change that ;)

[balmy obsidian]

[balmy obsidian]

patiently waiting for next leviathan game in like... a month

[cobalt zealot]

...why

[balmy obsidian]

so i can overstress and crash out

it's been a long time coming

[west phoenix]

The troublesome twink must be protected

[balmy obsidian]

"babygirl"

[noble ivy]

Because I love my cringe son that everyone hates

[minor orchid]

"Mija, 'tas mal de la cabeza"

[balmy obsidian]

I also love him he's great (bad)

[noble ivy]

I will only meta game when “the bit” requires me to do so

[cobalt zealot]

I see. Well, you might be about to eat a bullet for the ||NHP|| anyway :3

[zinc topaz]

people don't like him???

i think he's great

[west phoenix]

Worth

[west phoenix]

They love to hate him

[noble ivy]

-# you assume I won’t take a bullet for ||my newest child?||

[west phoenix]

One of my PCs thinks he's such a loser that she forgot about him, and the other is such a loser that they're besties

[cobalt zealot]

I mean I don't know if I can shoot it

[shell bison]

I love the fact you just know that her internal monologue is in spanish

monsoon season makes living in this ass crack state not so bad sometimes

[west phoenix]

Its been nice but yesterday was actually too damn cold 😭

This week is looking like 55-60f

[cobalt zealot]

It's pretty temperate here

It's not dropping below 10C

[noble ivy]

It’s funny… I grew up in Southern California (where it never really went below 90f) but now I love the colder climate of my new home

[west phoenix]

I loved the cold even when i lived in Florida

[supple carbon]

Imagine liking the heat

[west phoenix]

This is the perfect weather for me even if it gets hot here in the summer

[zinc topaz]

its finally down to the 70f range here

[minor orchid]

Hello!

[zinc topaz]

this summer we spent about a month and a half too long in the 100f+ range

[minor orchid]

yes it's spring here

I am happy

can't wait for summer

[west phoenix]

I like when its cold and you snuggle up with a few layers

[supple carbon]

Cold is better, cold is great

[west phoenix]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-sleep-tired-meme-blanket-gif-27446883

[willow needle]

cold is better than heat cuz every year theres more heat and less cold

[west phoenix]

Need...

[zinc topaz]

meanwhile summer is like. ok im not wearing any clothes. there's two fans on me

i can't take my skin off so what do i do

[zinc topaz]

real ..

[west phoenix]

I have a body pillow because I'm such a cuddler and if I don't have something solid i cuddle into a ball and hurt my back

[cobalt zealot]

take off your skin

[clever cloud]

I use my bike during the winter and last one there was a cold spike of -10F wherein was the first time i truly realized "Oh, I could die here"

[zinc topaz]

literally same

[west phoenix]

Bold of you to assume i wear clothes when i sleep in the winter either

[zinc topaz]

i can not sleep without something to cuddle with

[clever cloud]

i grew up in the tropics

[west phoenix]

You could die there too

[cobalt zealot]

I don't think I've worn clothes while sleeping since I transitioned

[clever cloud]

Yeah, but for stupider reasons

[cobalt zealot]

Naked is more comfy...

[west phoenix]

Engaging topics in the igf chat today

[clever cloud]

you can't really stop high humidity high temp unless you have A/C

[supple carbon]

Yeah, there is an oversupply of heat

[west phoenix]

It will find a way...

[zinc topaz]

naked except for a 4x t shirt

[west phoenix]

Yep, vibes

Why do you think my pfp is like that that's a common fit for me

[noble ivy]

[west phoenix]

Sweater on, no pants, all sin

[zinc topaz]

yeah its true ok

[west phoenix]

Yeah i mean... Its true

[zinc topaz]

does it help me fall asleep to hold my own hand? yeah what of it

[west phoenix]

I used to snuggle against my ex it was nice 😭

[shell bison]

I need to think of more Char in muse posts

[steady adder]

every time being touch starved is mentioned, i mentally see that one set of images where a cheetah is getting its chin gently held-

[zinc topaz]

-# same. ive been single for almost 5 years now so :3

[west phoenix]

God i wish that were me

[steady adder]

big kmitty want chin scritches

[west phoenix]

A little over a year for me, but we lived together for like 3 months before everything went to shit :)

And it kind of scarred me, thats why i don't really exist anymore

[balmy obsidian]

[zinc topaz]

i think i just miss the affection more than anything tbh . i miss knowing that when i get home from work i'm going to get a hug and get to spend time with someone

[balmy obsidian]

Move over posers

I have the highscore

[west phoenix]

Yeah same, don't miss her but that was really nice

[zinc topaz]

but i get to look forward to coming home and cuddling with my cat now so :3

insane how much getting a cat helped me

literally might have saved my life

[balmy obsidian]

Having a cat is great

[west phoenix]

Literally the day she officially broke up with me is when Eleonor threw Calamity at me to make me feel better i guess

Emotional support dyke

[balmy obsidian]

Google, what is a dyke

[shell bison]

Oh boy

[balmy obsidian]

I am 🅱️oy

[west phoenix]

Ugh, i should get a cat. Been scared I couldn't really take care of one properly

[zinc topaz]

i was too

[cobalt zealot]

They are so easy to take care of I promise

[west phoenix]

I try not to talk about it here but considering how often I'm here its not a surprise: i am very lonely

[cobalt zealot]

Get a senior cat

[zinc topaz]

but it becomes something you end up prioritizing whether you want to or not

[cobalt zealot]

Senior cats don't demand a lot of attention beyond cuddles

[zinc topaz]

i also struggle really bad with loneliness and i can confidently say the biggest thing that's helped has been a cat

[west phoenix]

I'll look into it, lord knows i have plenty to choose from when it comes to getting an emotional support animal to avoid paying pet rent and stuff

[cobalt zealot]

My cat is currently 19

All he does is eat, sleep, and poop outside his litterbox 'cause he's senile

Oh and also scream at us for pets

[west phoenix]

Well I don't want that lmao that sounds sad

[cobalt zealot]

No it's really nice actually

He's very affectionate

Loves being in the same room as us

This is Him

[west phoenix]

I'm also gone so often that i wonder if I'd have to get 2 to keep them company

Like outside of work I don't do anything but I'm at work a lot lol

[cobalt zealot]

It's not a bad idea, just need to make sure they know each other

[west phoenix]

Like, 9 hours? Maybe thats not a lot but it feels like a lot lol

[zinc topaz]

bonded pair of cats method is unmatched

[tame tide]

Cats sleeb

[west phoenix]

They get an accuracy on saves

[cobalt zealot]

But my cat there, Felix? He's an absolute sweetheart. People see him and squeal because he comes up to them for pets, and he lets you pick him up.

He just wants to be around us.

[cobalt zealot]

And oh yeah they do, a lot.

[zinc topaz]

my darling freyja is the same way

[tame tide]

Bonded cats can threaten you with overwatch if you try to shoot the other one

[cobalt zealot]

Cats are eepy creatures.

[zinc topaz]

she loves to be held

[tame tide]

My cats hated to be held

[west phoenix]

And intercept damage

I'll look into getting a cat, I've been so idly depressed I've put off doing a ton

[balmy obsidian]

Cats rarely ever let me hold them but they will always show belly

[west phoenix]

I've been in my apartment for like 4 months now and there's so much i need to do still

[west phoenix]

Oldest trick in the book

[cobalt zealot]

Felix lets you baby carry him for ages

He loves it

Especially if you tuck him in correctly

[tame tide]

Awww they're so cute, ah they want me to rub their belly.

5 second later: my hubris...

[cobalt zealot]

He nuzzles into your cheek or shoulder

[balmy obsidian]

No no I promise they just let me pet the belly

[cobalt zealot]

Also adores tummy scritches

[balmy obsidian]

I don't know what other people are doing but I've never met a cat I couldn't scratch the belly of

[west phoenix]

The chosen one

Maybe thats why we get along

[zinc topaz]

bc people are mean as fuck to cats

[tame tide]

Neither, I've also just met cats that will scratch you back

[zinc topaz]

or treat them like dogs

[cobalt zealot]

I tickled a couple of cats who didn't like it but none of them scratched me

[zinc topaz]

freyja does the little grab and kick thing but its very gentle

her claws are barely out at all

and she "bites" my hand (puts her teeth on it)

[cobalt zealot]

Felix only puts his claws out when he's padding

Or when he's trying to hold something

Usually your hand because he's pulling it back to make you keep petting him

[zinc topaz]

cuuute 😭❤️

[cobalt zealot]

Genuinely

He is small and sweet as hell

He's just a bit senile now

But that happens at two decades

We're both very prepared to wake up one morning and he's no longer with us but it wouldn't be surprising if he made it to 23

I think gravity Falls happening would be a plausible explanation for how Oregon got erased in the first place

[west phoenix]

I never lie, but i never tell the truth

[clever cloud]

and yet you never shut up

[zinc topaz]

i need to name my nerscyllich and i like to name my mechs after song lyrics, albums, etc. and i also have a propensity for naming them super long names

any suggestions

Crawl Backwards out of Heaven is the leading contender rn

i considered One Day The Only Butterflies Left Will Be In Your Chest As You March Towards Your Death but. it's a spider not a butterfly

[noble ivy]

-# oh if you like super long names than I need to show you what my player named his empaaki…

[opal canyon]

Maaaaaaaan if I knew that I’d have argued we spend even more time there

[zinc topaz]

The Truth About Heaven? Anatta, Dukkha, Anicca? The Fear and Need for an Empty Space? Heavy is the Head that Falls with the Weight of a Thousand Thoughts?

i like these all

[zinc topaz]

please share

[noble ivy]

Once I’m back on my desktop I’ll post it here

[zinc topaz]

do any of these sound cool to anyone

[noble ivy]

They all sound metal as hell
I personally like the fear and need for an empty space

[zinc topaz]

genius may have just struck me. not really this one kinda sucks but Die Motherfucker Die Motherfucker Die

[zinc topaz]

i also like that one

[balmy obsidian]

giving your mech the name of a song that's way too long

[west phoenix]

Do you guys see how she bullies me... Fucked up

[west phoenix]

Shout out to COMP/CON for this one

Torn between this and "The Family Dog"

[zinc topaz]

The Family Dog is the name of the nhp copilot

gotta be a scylla class

[west phoenix]

Brother we are ALL NHP pilots

[zinc topaz]

😭

[west phoenix]

That mech has 5 pilots by a technicality

[zinc topaz]

so this is the one i've seen you guys talk about

[balmy obsidian]

Mine has 2 (4)

[zinc topaz]

how and why

[west phoenix]

Oh boy... I was just about to go on my break too. Let me walk you through Archie in a minute

[zinc topaz]

<33

[west phoenix]

So i started a new igf game with the intent of making a spin on my other character, Serenity. She was going to be an ATHENA NHP instead of a human, and was supposed to be meek and soft spoken. She was like, 2 years old because her previous 'form' was a deep cascade NHP that was cycled at the cost of losing its sentience, essentially rebirth.

Serenity, being a baby, was fucking dumb as hell, but knew she committed some really bad things in her past life and it weighed heavily on her. Long story short she had the chance to merge with 2 NHP fragments, a piece of HORUS malware known as "Witchfinder" and (ch1) ||a fragment of feather||. Out came Archie, a bombastic, fiery freak who abandoned Serenity's cold apathy and gloomy personality. Essentially merged all 3 personalities together, but the deep cascade part is still lodged in there, not too many updates on that so far.

[minor orchid]

top a twink

[zinc topaz]

is that art of archie or is it something else

[west phoenix]

Serenity was a very prudent artillery fighter, never wanting to get into the fray, while Archie is always ready to throw the smackdown on someone and loves the thrill of being on the frontline. This is partially because i wanted to play a tank, but also because I didn't really want to play the 'same' character and it was a perfect and fitting evolution of the character

[west phoenix]

Idk why its spoiled but yes its Archie

And thats the wrong image i did not mean for it to be the meme but you know what it fits them

[zinc topaz]

very good art

[west phoenix]

Its a piccrew

[zinc topaz]

sometimes piccrews go hard

[west phoenix]

This is art @silver pumice made :3

[zinc topaz]

cute!! love it

[west phoenix]

They are adorable and problematic

[zinc topaz]

i .. dont even know where i'd begin making a pilot tbh

[clever cloud]

They Are A Problem

[west phoenix]

Its funny because despite how chaotic and rambunctious they are they care deeply about their squad and NHP rights, along with anyone being oppressed. See a lot of themself in that

[zinc topaz]

i like that they're 1/3 malware

[west phoenix]

They're running a Horizon extension in Hell's Gate to help with NHPs who need help and to keep HORUS at bay

[west phoenix]

Yeah that part shoots lightning

Archie IS the unstable iconoclast NHP

[zinc topaz]

33.3% of me is malicious code

[west phoenix]

He's a chill guy frfr

They also Johnny Bravo flirt with any NHP they meet (unless that NHP is a client or needs help, and even then... No promises)

[zinc topaz]

hey mama

[west phoenix]

Wanna feel something electrifying ;3

[cobalt zealot]

My Exalted GM is making me buy into the idea of "Exalted vs World of Darkness but you think you're just fighting the Trump administration at first"

[west phoenix]

They're not into humans and yet everyone thinks that they and a squad member are dating

(they practically are)

[balmy obsidian]

Platonically smooching

[cobalt zealot]

Like... Fuck.

[zinc topaz]

one of the big bads in my last d&d campaign was a caricature of stephen miller

[noble ivy]

-# oh shit that's my pitch for a (hypothetical) Cain campaign

[clever cloud]

Roland, my NHP pilot is a lawyer nhp that hasn't been cycled in so long he's just sorta lost perspective on what the point of lawyer-speak was. He spent like 100 years with smugglers running scams. He was the frontman, the priest, the liar. Now he views every single interaction as a game to win; Everyone is exploitable

[balmy obsidian]

Fighting politicians you say

Where guillotine

[west phoenix]

She said it not me

[zinc topaz]

LOL

[cobalt zealot]

He said he might let me eat the skeleton of the t rex in the natural history museum and get the Tyrant Lizard as a transformation

[balmy obsidian]

[tame tide]

What do you meann by that?

[noble ivy]

-# alright, I'm home early so I can share with you this fuckass mech name
okay, so here's what it looks like on its sheet

[west phoenix]

The only thing stopping this is that Archie don't got no lips

[clever cloud]

yea

[noble ivy]

And here's the full name

[balmy obsidian]

https://tenor.com/view/гениально-gif-24642364

[west phoenix]

Oh yeah, this is Archie's current mech that is somewhat sentient

[tame tide]

Yeah, IDK if Comp con has character limits

[west phoenix]

The Family Dog
Or Unfaithful, and Failing to Learn From Errors

[cobalt zealot]

How does Archie turn up anywhere and not terrify the locals

[west phoenix]

They do

[steady adder]

having mech mutate into a freak of nature by HORUS being HORUS 🤝

[cobalt zealot]

||Cel's Sierra is going to mutate into a Hecatoncheires||

[west phoenix]

They and Ariadne are joining the (ch2) ||hellfire league as THE FIRESTORM DUO|| and between a gorgon and ghengis that place is not standing

[balmy obsidian]

Since it's sharing time, here are my 4 pilots

[west phoenix]

The top part showed up and ate their saggy martha and then bowed to let Archie gain control

[cobalt zealot]

Oh don't bring a fucking Genghis to a friendly fight

[noble ivy]

||I feel like every horus mech is just a GMS frame on HRT||

[west phoenix]

Normal HORUS stuff

[cobalt zealot]

Why did you have to—

[west phoenix]

We will :)

[cobalt zealot]

Come on

[west phoenix]

And Archie will give all the viewers brain damage from the aperture

[tame tide]

Holy shit is that a the greatest estate developer reference

[balmy obsidian]

would explain why i'm still in a a Choomy

[noble ivy]

-# are you mad at me (again), Fruit? 🥺

[balmy obsidian]

Not on purpose
is it the sunglasses?

[wild flame]

this reads like a dankpods mic test story

[tame tide]

It's the bottom rigght one

[steady adder]

Crybaby, Asshat, Tuxedo Mask, and Something

[balmy obsidian]

I'm curious as to which part it would be a reference because I don't remember it

[tame tide]

Just the gglowy energy is similar to how the art style shows the magic stuff and manna hearts and shit

[balmy obsidian]

Ah, right

[tame tide]

Honestly I said it expecting 95% of people would just say "what"

[balmy obsidian]

I mean I've read it

might have missed the latest chapters but i've read it, it's fun

[tame tide]

The novel or the Manhua?

[balmy obsidian]

the manwha

[noble ivy]

[balmy obsidian]

me reading actual books? perish the thought

[west phoenix]

Anyways I'm always down for ranting about my pilots

[zinc topaz]

good! i need inspiration

[balmy obsidian]

use your nose and or mouth

[zinc topaz]

i legitimately .. think .. maybe a woman is all i have right now

[west phoenix]

Woman...

[cobalt zealot]

women...

[zinc topaz]

maybe somewhere in the spiderverse doc ock realm

[west phoenix]

Woman (goober)

[balmy obsidian]

Ladies, please, keep it together

[zinc topaz]

[clever cloud]

[zinc topaz]

[west phoenix]

This is my other pilot, Serenity

[noble ivy]

is this when we evolve into yuri posting (again)?

[balmy obsidian]

pilot net igf thread (colorized)

[zinc topaz]

i do not know how to flirt irl and get zero bitches primarily bc this picture is of me

[west phoenix]

The dream team if they killed Serenity

[west phoenix]

Thanks Juli, the one Serenity simp

[zinc topaz]

my coworker threw a pen cap at my head the other day bc theres a customer i have a thing for and she's aware of it so she tells me to flirt with her when she comes in

and i asked her what her name was

and she was like i said FLIRT with her

and i was like I TRIED

[balmy obsidian]

Where's the fucking manual

[west phoenix]

I am somehow a great flirt but cannot tell when others are flirting with me

[zinc topaz]

there isnt one you're either in the know or you're fucked for ever

[noble ivy]

We lent the Yuri handbook to Leo and he lost it instantly

[balmy obsidian]

I tried okay

But it always starts with a premise that goes "These two are going to kiss"

And then by the end of chapter one they go "Hello, I know we met 10 seconds ago but this is the time when we kiss" and then they kiss

And I'm like Well what the fuck

[balmy obsidian]

I am trying to understand my himejoshi friends but it's hard

[tame tide]

"Sorry, I didn't catch that. I was too busy imagginningg us making out"

[zinc topaz]

i should use this one that'll work

[tame tide]

I guide others to a treasure I cannot possess

[zinc topaz]

also though lets be real probably >50% of the reason my dating attempts suck is bc my ideal partner is a chronically online weirdo ttrpg player who would want me to bark and those dont exist in this aforementioned retirement town

[west phoenix]

Haha... Yeah who could that be

[zinc topaz]

me on a date: "yeah have you ever heard of lancer"

gone

[west phoenix]

I've been trying to explain lanced to coworkers and i regret ever mentioning it 😭

[balmy obsidian]

go for so you know they'll reply "well obviously"

[cobalt zealot]

I'M ALLOWED TO EAT THE SKELETON HELL YEAHHHHH

[balmy obsidian]

Hey I recognized those characters, they're from that yuri game

[zinc topaz]

the girl i showed lancer to was 😔

Skill issue

[zinc topaz]

to who or something

[balmy obsidian]

Two hoes, yes

[west phoenix]

Counterpoint: my ex was (kind of) into lancer and that didn't work

[zinc topaz]

also i think i've exhausted my resources in this town as far as that type goes

[zinc topaz]

circa 2023-24 every single person i went on dates with ended up being either trans, furries, or djs, or all 3

[balmy obsidian]

It's the one where there is only women, except for one man, who is not in the games but in the mangas. token man.

[zinc topaz]

and this was not on purpose either

[balmy obsidian]

And they shoot at each other

[zinc topaz]

but there was a clear through line

[west phoenix]

Man i hate going on dates, always have. I'm just trying to hang out

[zinc topaz]

dating is funnnn :3

[west phoenix]

Unless like, I'm already dating someone, then i guess we can go on dates

[west phoenix]

You're not really selling me on it

[clever cloud]

ok i was "dating" my now wife for ten years and we went on like 15 dates total

[west phoenix]

That would require bitches to want you

That ain't happening

[balmy obsidian]

Man what the fuck is a date

[zinc topaz]

i mean

[balmy obsidian]

Other than a fruit

[west phoenix]

Be nice Leo

[clever cloud]

what the calendar says

[zinc topaz]

i think dating is at its best when its with the same person over and over again

[balmy obsidian]

Eleonor, with all due respect, I am imagining you being subjected to kitchen knives

[zinc topaz]

dating someone once and repeating the same intro dialogue every time sucks

[west phoenix]

She gets the hose

[zinc topaz]

but otherwise? fun :3

[clever cloud]

what the fuck do you mean???!

[west phoenix]

Nah I don't get enough bitches to do that, nor would i want to

[zinc topaz]

i'm not gonna just go get ice cream and see a movie by myself

[west phoenix]

More for me

But see i do those with my friends

[balmy obsidian]

stabbed repeatedly by kitchen knives falling on you

[clever cloud]

ok but going to the movies by yourself is an excellent experience

[west phoenix]

Yeah!

[zinc topaz]

falling asleep on someones shoulder at a movie theater is better

[clever cloud]

shit movie

[zinc topaz]

idk maybe i am just touch starved but i think every single experience is enhanced by holding someone's hand during it

[west phoenix]

I mean I've done that when i go over to friends places for movie nights

[zinc topaz]

i dont have friends who would let me lmfaoo

[west phoenix]

But at a movie theater? Nah man

[clever cloud]

gaaaaaaaaaaay

also me

[zinc topaz]

i have DREAMED about having friends who would be chill with platonic hand holding and cuddling and hugs and stuff but alas

[balmy obsidian]

movie theaters are way too loud for me to fall asleep
and also i can't fall asleep when sitting

[west phoenix]

I mean i guess I'm just close to my friends out here but i fall asleep on a friends shoulder (kugel) all the time, or at least i did when i existed

[clever cloud]

my favorite movie-going experience was watching Interstellar on imax all by myself

[zinc topaz]

i think its bc 99% of my irl friends are like cis straight men who are afraid of physical affection

[west phoenix]

Yikes

I have 2 friends who aren't queer and they're on thin ice lol

[zinc topaz]

sorry we can kiss and still be friends dont get in your head about it 🙄

Then I come here and my brain shuts off

(Not a bad thing)

[west phoenix]

how i feel in this chat vs the others (mainly wallflower chat)

[clever cloud]

other channels have a loooooott more people, so they're more actively moderated and everyone is more measured

[zinc topaz]

this thread feels more like a personal discord server for a group of people who happen to all like the same campaign module

[west phoenix]

every other chat i feel like there's a target on my head because i've said one too many stupid things

[zinc topaz]

the other threads feel way more about the module and less about the people there

[west phoenix]

i am lowkey scared to engage in some channels now, i straight up left this server before

[noble ivy]

this is how I feel when talking in any other server

[west phoenix]

Without spoiling too much, basically he helped the SRT get their mechs back and was swept up in all the bullshit that occurred afterwards

BRICC was mostly like a default Comp/Con in Chapter one. But now He's getting a bit unhinged and confrontational
(and is constantly maxing out his stress bar like the magus he is...)

I used the Pilot art creator in Lancer Tatics so that I had a consistent style with all my players

[minor orchid]

Man the pixel arts look so DOPE

[supple carbon]

whaaaaaaaaaaaat

Lancer tactics

[zinc topaz]

stealing this idea

you are brilliant juli

[noble ivy]

And the mech art was done by the Phenomenal @prime terrace

[prime terrace]

guh?!

[minor orchid]

Pixel you rock

Remember that

[noble ivy]

-# (I have one more player on the team, but he keeps ghosting my sessions so I have him in a "Schrödinger's hanger" until he figures out his schedule)

[minor orchid]

Ough, happens

[zinc topaz]

-# i'd never ghost one of your sessions 🥰

[noble ivy]

That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me

[west phoenix]

i'd never ghost you

[prime terrace]

you should totally show their Zheng anyway teehee

also the gang liked their tokens right-

RIGHT?!

[west phoenix]

no

[prime terrace]

:(

[west phoenix]

i kid

[noble ivy]

oh shit, thanks for reminding me

[west phoenix]

[minor orchid]

Honestly I've never seen you DM but gah

-# At least saying something! Idk

[west phoenix]

juji is poggers

[minor orchid]

I will vouch the word of the people

[zinc topaz]

as a long time forever GM I know how it feels so I absolutely make sure to put time aside if I commit to a game

[west phoenix]

yeah, same

[zinc topaz]

I will submit a request to change my days off at work if needed

[west phoenix]

some players don't give us that luxury.... looks at the player who couldn't make it to next session with such short notice

[zinc topaz]

in fact I did. For the last year and a half I had Wednesdays off specifically to run a game

[west phoenix]

lmao i went with the earlier shift so i have time to come home and chill before sessions, especially on days where i GM

[zinc topaz]

and maybe it was a little bit of collective punishment, but I did tell the group that if one player missed the session then we would just not play that week

[west phoenix]

i thought about doing that... but fuck that

my player is missing a huge session tomorrow

and this is the same dude who missed like, the first 4 sessions of chapter 3 for igf

[zinc topaz]

I gave everybody four weeks before we started to make sure that every single Wednesday for the next two years is off😭

[west phoenix]

tough luck, pal. you'll figure it out but everyone else wants to be here, and i have a lot of sessions this chapter

[zinc topaz]

God, I fucking hate iPhones that stupid fucking mouse

[minor orchid]

I honestly want to commit to games so bad

[zinc topaz]

sorry you guys had to see that

[minor orchid]

More now that college is almost done for the year

[tame tide]

Free time 😔

I wanna join more ggames but I already have a decent amount of commitments relating to hobbies

[noble ivy]

Here's the missing player's mech, btw
-# I forgot to make pilot art for him

[minor orchid]

Punchy boy

[tame tide]

Bunchy poy

[minor orchid]

Unchy oy

[noble ivy]

[west phoenix]

[clever cloud]

im chomping at the bit forcing myself to not request to join any other game

[west phoenix]

yeah, same

[minor orchid]

So

(me)

[zinc topaz]

I still think I wanna play in a game of Lancer before I try to run

[noble ivy]

InGlish Flame

[west phoenix]

in girlish flame

[tame tide]

I'm like, "Hmmm... People want to play an IGF GM game... I'd like to play but I 100% cannot commit"

[minor orchid]

Omg meee

I mean

Uh

Bothing

[prime terrace]

So Juli showed me their players' reactions to my mech token gifts and i cant stop smiling chat

got the biggest smile on my face

over here looking like that one image

[noble ivy]

I promised him I would record their reactions

[prime terrace]

and they did not disappoint, haha

[willow needle]

[prime terrace]

Im so proud of this pose lmao

[prime terrace]

Oh damn 👁️

[prime terrace]

SHEEEEEEESH

[willow needle]

[supple carbon]

beanlord is vague enough right?

[prime terrace]

In other news due to the fact Juli's players' reactions have given me a purpose in life, I think im gonna start making tokens for people again

[hybrid salmon]

(Seriously there’s probably a medical problem in here. Not sleep apnea, I’m already being treated for that)

[minor orchid]

Ough, didn't know <<

[willow needle]

ITS BASED ON A NECROZMA NOT THE KNIGHT

[west phoenix]

man i have no idea what the fuck you are talking about

[west phoenix]

https://tenor.com/view/desheveled-cat-kitty-sandwich-hungry-gif-16774436192549684709

[prime terrace]

Ultra Necrozma mech sounds lit now that i think about it

[hybrid salmon]

Could be depression/burnout at minimum

[prime terrace]

👁️

[noble ivy]

that means it's vague enough

[supple carbon]

yeah it's vague enough then

[hybrid salmon]

But fatigue feeling abnormal except for the part where it’s most of my existence

[supple carbon]

[zinc topaz]

you missed it earlier i posted a nerscylla mech sketch i did between customers at work

me when i get you pixel

[willow needle]

sadly not ultra necrozma, just the regular one :3. as amber phantom is supposed to be about being hidden and invisible all the time, i thought, what if SSC made an special gift to their dear egregorian commando, made of black prisms that reflect light? (so it can be either RGB rainbow power, or turn invisible).

its also equipped with a very sassy compcon that's been running for 20 years.

[zinc topaz]

also my jank ass white witch you'd probably enjoy :3

[prime terrace]

Forcing you to become soggy

[west phoenix]
