So far, here in Providence, it's been a shitty, snowless winter. Lots of rain, and days with wide carnivorous blue skies, but fuck all when it comes to snow. Did we piss off the Snow Miser or something?

If you've not seen it already, the ONE AND ONLY auction of an ARC of The Drowning Girl: A Memoir has begun, and it began last night. The ARC is ( Read more... )

I am, right now, mildly annoyed with Rift, because Faeblight has been taken over, it seems, by whinging PVP-ers who use "rape" as slang for anything difficult, which kind of trips my explosive wires, and who want me to believe, without citation, that PVP servers are being immanently shut down and consolidated hand over fist because no-one RPs or cares about RP. The logic train has left the station, and these people weren't even on the platform.

Not quite sure I follow. Are RP or PVP servers being shut down. And I personally loathed Faeblight. It's one thing that's kept me off the game lately. The use of the word "rape" is odd, though I have no problem with it being applied to many situations ("Strip mining rapes the land," etc.).

whilst avoiding the ever-growing swarm of idiots.

We've been lucky in SSW:toR to avoid idiots on our RP server.

I'll report my findings, if you think you may ever return to Telara.

I want to. Spooky and I both miss the game. But we're really enjoying the great RP and genuine immersion of SSW:toR (and me ( ... )

PVP servers are allegedly being shut down (no citation) because no-one RPs. No, no typos. That's what was said. Though, actually, all types of servers are being consolidated, as far as I can make out, presumably because of all the population lost to SW:TOR. Which I can't join you in, and never shall out of principle (because of how the whole thing was handled), as much as I enjoyed playing with you & Spooky, however briefly ( ... )

Well, ugh... and I'm kind of not surprised.
I really didn't expect to like SWtoR - AT ALL. And, yet... I'm having a really good time at it.
Part of me is missing Rift, but if these changes you're talking about are going to happen? It sounds pretty dire. I honestly think they may have lost a lot of people with the inane holiday garbage. I just couldn't take it any more, and then there was SW, which had none of that... and then... well...

Hahaha! The first sentence on p45 of The Mammoth Book of Best New SF 17 is simply; Jealous?

Not really my style, but I'll try anything once.
