-# isn't Calamity like 203 cm/(6'8")?

willow needle
#

we dont really know if there's canonical heights, these are just what Hipo told me

minor orchid
willow needle
#

you could have just said so

tight pier
west phoenix
#

Calamity is a normal height in Eleonor's game and yet is still a jungle gym to Serenity

noble ivy
#

that's because Serenity is five apples tall

shell bison
#

oh good heavens

ancient crag
#

I was so confused on cm my poor smooth brain did not comprehend for way to long ;-;

ancient crag
noble ivy
#

She's only four and a half apples tall

ancient crag
#

how does hunger effect height?!?!?

lyric ivy
#

americans will use anything but the metric system smh

noble ivy

ate half of the apple

ancient crag

whole?

Did she do this?!?!?

She rarely meets anyone smaller than her

MAN SHUT UP

ancient crag

I don’t want to know what that means

noble ivy

I don't know what it means either

Serenity is not a neet she is a sophisticated woman

#

I think I have it on record that Vex said Switch is "short" but Switch is supposedly 6'4"

#

This is because Vex is absurdly tall. I can confirm as I have met them in person and yes, they are very tall. (complimentary )

willow needle
#

:o

#

BRUH??

lyric ivy
shell bison
#

Oh yeah, a little over a year ago in a big irl meet up for a birthday and lancer players

#

I can also confirm Vex is as cool as in RL as they are in server.

#

-# god those watermelon jelly rancher shots were so bad.

lyric ivy
#

vex told me my stupid lancer ransom note meme was "very extremely good" and i will hold that in my heart forever now

shell bison
#

Vex's memes create a lot of traction for the game

noble ivy
#

Now that I think about it

#

Vex's shitposts was the main reason I even wanted to play lancer

shell bison
#

You'd be surprised how often I hear that

noble ivy
#

Got hooked by the paracausal bullshit
stayed for the post-capitalist hopecore

west phoenix
#

Shout out to spooky dave

#

Probably the first lancer media i ever consumed when Eleonor wanted me to try it out lmao

shell bison
#

My first exposure was the Super Best Friends Cast talking about the kickstarter

Woolie my beloved

noble ivy
#

Oh shit, Matt, Pat, and Woolie talked about Lancer??!?

shell bison
#

And Liam, and no it was a shoutout at the end of a podcast during the time the kickstarter was up

#

Woolie was talking about mecha week and said, "This looks cool. Tabletop mech game. On kickstarter now! I might check it out"

#

I havent really thought what Jackson's height is.... I know hes "tall" but jebus with Swiitch being "Short" XD

willow needle
#

man im shocked knowing that switch can just use reverie as an armrest

shell bison
#

I have the mental image Switch does that only with homies they are tight with as a visual gag

willow needle
#

i think reverie is getting close at becoming a homie for him in our game tbh

thats also conveniently when i stopped learning in hindsight

awww no dont give up

your players are just big meanies

#

eleonors right you should kick the shit out of them

safe glade
#

I will say one thing about working in QA: it's a constant source of inspiration for new and stupid ways in which a system can be fucked up

clever cloud
#

i once imagined doing a formal spec of lancer rules and it's hillarious how many edge cases and contradictions just immediately fall out

#

because natural language is imprecise, and because many things are implied

safe glade
#

Today's example: a device that only works on some days and not others, because the person programming it assumed a different date/time format than the system actually uses, causing it to go "the 11th of Tridecuember? That's not a real date, I'm gonna crash about it"

For now Reverie won't directly use a Sunzi, rather adding some of it's stuff to the Amber Phantom. But things could change in the future?

west phoenix

the 'person' in question and its just a wolf

Could be a wolf person(?

west phoenix

yeyeye. I have been a bit of a Sunzi teacher for a lot of people on this server and outside of it too

west phoenix
#

ok well we'll see with how often you change your build joyous

#

i think eleonor handed me the sunzi on a silver platter with narrative ties because i couldn't decide on a build

west phoenix
willow needle
#

No one is forcing anything

#

The comment rather made me feel a bit bad actually,

west phoenix
#

people writing their own novels to shove into the game in progress just annoys me. as a GM i'd be like "you don't even know the context yet, how are you going to predict that something like this would even happen?"

balmy obsidian
#

ok but here it wasn't "here is a novel to integrate to the story" it's "me make build :)"

west phoenix
#

i've just dealt with a lot of problem players who are like "this is my entire arc and whats going to happen" and i'm like, no lol

willow needle
#

I understand that, but that's really not how I work. I just expect reverie on her own to get away from SSC, so one day she might get a Hecaton (like I said before, it's just an idea). If the GM adds drama that enhances that change, it's great.

#

I somewhat feel this was also about the romance bit of Reverie. I have asked the GM expecting both a yes and a no ggaGiggle and so long it's been a yes, I'm hyperromantic so I made some non canon drawings of them, but that's it. I don't want it to be forced, and so long neither of them have even a crush on the other haha.

west phoenix
#

i am a judgmental GM :)

#

it is a problem :)

willow needle
#

I only asked for it, because I ask for any idea or suggestion. When I GM I don't expect romance unless a player asks for it, so when I play, I do the same.

west phoenix
#

romance in TTRPGs is a totally different topic for me, that's not why i dislike it

#

if it works naturally its fine but it rarely does

#

it usually feels like in mass effect where you do like 3 missions for someone and they go "wanna bang, ok?"

#

i think this is more of a problem of me not trusting most GMs rather than the concept as a whole, same with players Draculul
everything you and hipo have done so far has been good imo, i just like making jokes about (general spoilers for igf maybe? naana safe) ||how hipo accidently made an eidolon||

willow needle
#

The core of how I think about it is "could this idea maybe happen? I'd enjoy it/make me happy. Yes? Okay, let's play and see if and how it happens in the future", if it's a no, it's all good as well.

lyric ivy
#

hey igf chat how off topic are we allowed to be here :3

supple carbon
#

I find that asking about if the players want romance like Nana did for both Strahd (in a smaller way) and for wf to be good

Like some characters are built for having those kinds of bonds, while others are not, it's useful

supple carbon
# west phoenix ok i guess all trans people are weird according to juli

In a technicality they are since weird is just a way of saying that they don't adhere to the societal normality which are the norms put by other people on what is normal

Of course, it's only a technicality, since trans people aren't really weird in the literal meaning of the word, from what i know they don't have unearthly powers or something like that (unless the dounle jump is real)

#

was kind of insane to me that i could just. use she/her pronouns now. that's OP

#

so i did that for a little, and kept talking about it, and uh turns out i tick a LOT of the trans boxes without realising it

#

oh btw that trans friend? yeah i met her on pnet so it's this server's fault

thorn hinge
#

good

Insert all mech pilots are trans meme here:

#

#

then while playing in a different game, in an rp section people were calling me Catherine, and idk something just stirred within me, it just felt Right. it clicked

#

the character was named catherine for context

noble ivy
lyric ivy
#

at that point i was like. yep that's the last nail in the coffin innit

#

#

noble ivy
#

yeah, sod off you frenchmin

balmy obsidian
#

now they will never know my crimes

lyric ivy
#

and later on, while in the shower i just came to the realisation that fuck. i am so much more happy and confident recently. all because people are referring to me as a woman. i think that was the moment that i realised that i'm this mess for life now

#

the next morning one of my friends comes to me and tells me that exact same thought i was having the night before, that i seem a lot more excited and confident recently

#

which confirmed to me that im not just hallucinating all this

thorn hinge
#

We love to see it

#

That joy, the euphoria of finding yourself. It's beautiful

lyric ivy
#

TL:DR: pilotnet and lancer and the youtube algorithm conspired to make me trans and now my friend keeps sending me shitposts of catherine from limbus company

lyric ivy
#

in a way i feel better than i have ever before

#

in another, the dread of having to live in society while trans

west phoenix
lyric ivy
#

i still need to tell my parents because it's a weight bearing down upon me and i still live with them but. i should be okay maybe. my sister is openly gay i hope they'll be okay

#

#

best of luck with that friend. You deserve love and dignity so I hope that's what they respond with

lyric ivy

thank you thank you, i know it wont be easy but i've been through my fair share of hardships in my time, i think i can take it

Due to the current topic, I wanna share a bit of story too, but I'll censor it to not cover up Smallest's story and, because it includes a bit of medical malpractice.

||My only story with gender is that due to being intersex my whole family and many doctors across the country battled into what I should grow into. There were theories that I would grow to be a man or woman, or neither, and how should I be treated during my childhood (even tho I was born as a girl). Due to the nature of this convoluted dilemma I spent a lot of time going to doctors, being constantly exposed to their research and "Sex talks", worries about future pleasure and "purpose" (I was a child btw), as well as that im, unfortunately, one of those intersex stories of "surgical amputation". I was able to express to my mom at 15yo iirc that I knew I was a girl 100% since very young. And apparently I had to settle that legally. I kid you not... My birth certificate had a question mark in the gender section. I never felt such happiness when I wrote an M there (M=mujer (woman). And, fun fact, due to there not being ANY laws about intersex people where I live, it was approved that same afternoon. It was after I officially settled for one gender that I was told that my body aromatises testosterone and that I need hormonal treatment due to my body not creating proper natural hormones, so lol. Also my DNA was used in an university of Japan to discover exactly my type of mutation? Lols. In any way, I've always been a happily a girl ever since, no guilt of the fear mongering I was living on for so long.||

there is... a scary amount of stuff you can do with just those
