Does this one work?

red + sword is usually war, i think?

Occasionally I'll watch a playthrough of a game I'm interested in something about (the plot or aesthetic), but don't think I'd enjoy playing.

Mostly, though, I watch like the Drawfee stream where they do improv comedy and draw audience suggestions. I'd almost rather watch a vod of a game I'm curious about, but comedy streams with audience participation benefit from seeing them live.

I think a lot of streamers are basically amateur comedians doing bits with something like a videogame to give them material. mst3k-like.

Others will play a game early or right away and be able to review as you watch. They'll say like the controls feel sloppy or the theme is grating and you'll experience that with them. Not a big deal for most people, but for highly anticipated games people are excited about, it helps give a sense of whether a game is worth playing for them in a slightly different way than a written or recorded review.

Watching people play a dnd game live gives you the energy in the chat while watching, which can make more exciting or interesting the play (do people in chat who know dnd think what's happening was a good idea? is everyone freaking out at a roll? is there a person who explains things in there which helps you understand for your own game?) It also protects you from getting spoiled when something dramatic happens.

There are people who play music or paint or work on a skill on stream, and that comes with a touch of the fun of watching a live performance. There's some extra excitement when you see stuff in real time and they could fuck up or they could do something amazing.

I've always enjoyed reading about people's dwarf fortress games, but I could never decide if I'd like it. If you're a fan, what kind of other games are like it? Is it mostly fun, or 90% frustrating with great fun moments? How long did it take to start to have fun if the learning curve is high? If anyone is in the mood to sing its praises, I would love to hear them. If no one does, that's cool, too! Just been thinking about playing it for years but never committing.

thank you! i think that gives me an idea what to expect.

Was it fun kitsch w/ western vampires? Or more horror oriented? It sounds cool, and I'm always looking for interesting queer stories, but I have to brace myself if it's very dark.

Are we going to start paying for guns and training, and not like proper school supplies and lunch programs? Like, what's the cost here? Are teachers going to have to pay it themselves? Are we buying gun safes for every classroom, too? I'm not sure a locked desk drawer is going to keep a determined kid out.

last time i got a virus i made sure i had documents backed up and then formatted the hard drive. that was over a decade ago though so i don't know how people deal now

I like where the picture cuts off. I can imagine the tail continuing forever

haven't seen the admin since he had a medical procedure done a month ago

These are always so eerie

I realized an instant too late

Yeah, this was building for months. I saw posts about how the banned lady's fully clothed selfies kept getting marked 'adult' a week ago, maybe. posts about non-responses for harassment going back forever.

Yeah I remember this post on tumblr and you're right about what they meant.

I helped a lady your age pick out a color for a room in her house, and she ended up going for a very bright peach. She loved it so much she put it in every room in her house where she didn't have a color picked out.

If you aren't planning to sell in a year or two, I say pick something that makes you happy when you see it. Realtors might have a different favorite color in 5 years.

Was something done in like photoshop with the colors in this pic? It looks off to me, but I'm not an expert.

I know the admin here recently had a minor surgery. I'm hoping for some kind of solution for when normal life stuff keeps him away. Like a few people just in charge of getting rid of spammers and worse people.
