We mustn't offend the all powerful NPCs!

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

The original numbers were to refute the idea that BS is 'mostly gen', according to the comment above, so either way it's a pointless argument. I mostly agree with your other points (besides the weird insistence that anyone who lumps ship/smut together must find them dirty), so I don't really know why we're apparently arguing. I guess if discussing meme categories makes me a dick then sure.

i mean, other than the obvious troll who's not here to have a discussion, but to obviously troll and get you idiots to handflap.

i believe this is falling into that mention of 'you only want online ship/smut because you're a lonely fuck who can't get it in the rl.'

Re: A proposition

(Anonymous) 2017-04-10 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
not sure "lonely and pathetic" is the same as "whoremonger"

Re: A proposition

(Anonymous) 2017-04-10 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Now that I think about it, whoremonger is a pretty great pun.

(Anonymous) 2017-04-10 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
you're trying so hard to make yourself look like the long-suffering, reasonable grown-up victim, lol. if you really want your gen-only, no filth allowed playground, then go. make it. no one's stopping you. just realize that your premise of "all the smut is drowning out the gen!" is utterly flawed and no one is going to come play with you.

(Anonymous) 2017-04-10 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
you are salty as fuck about something

you really need to get laid

(Anonymous) 2017-04-10 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
You are finding it really hard to fathom that people could want a gen-oriented comm and also want to play ship and smut, huh.

(Anonymous) 2017-04-10 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I think this person is waiting for someone to go "get out of here, you icky whore!" so they can point and scream about us proving their point for them.

When confronted with logic, they simply don't know how to respond.

(Anonymous) 2017-04-10 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
you sound like a youtube intellectual now. "logic is on my side, because i say so! therefore, i cannot be wrong!"

(Anonymous) 2017-04-10 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
please go get laid

(Anonymous) 2017-04-10 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
god damn, you're salty.

(Anonymous) 2017-04-10 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
if you attribute being laid and sexual satisfaction to enjoying shipping/smut, then you likely cross the ic/ooc boundaries a lot. some people can manage not to do that. my rl sexual status has no effect on what i play online. funny how that works, isn't it?

(Anonymous) 2017-04-10 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
The funny thing is, they're pretty much the only one in the discussion (not counting the obvious trolls) screaming about dirty shipping whores. Damn, anon, which gen player kicked your dog?

(Anonymous) 2017-04-10 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
make a gen-only meme comm and play there exclusively if you don't want any ships or smut

considering how much people complain about it there has to be more than enough disgruntled gen-only players to make it successful

(Anonymous) 2017-04-10 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
nah, tag back at all and you're basically golden these days

(Anonymous) 2017-04-10 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
yeah that application thing is on the downturn too tbh. most mods these days prefer you keep it as succinct as you can for ease of reading, to the point that some games have maximum app wordcounts you can't exceed without revisions now

being tldry really isn't the badge of quality it used to be, which is pretty nice imo

It worked for me once. There was a shipping version of a meme with an interesting premise and a character in there I wanted to play with but not ship with. Asked the player if they'd be cool with non-shipping and the thread's turned into a psl spanning months now.

I've iconed that game, anon. Are some color issues the low, indoor light lit by candles, perhaps? I've found that with candlelit scenes that make the subjects too orange, a color balance layer can help. Usually I'll set the cyan and blue a little high to offset the orange, then lower the opacity of the color balance layer. Sometimes I'll even go way too far with the cyan and blue, then set the color balance layer to screen or soft light, then adjust the layer opacity from there. Another thing I enjoy using is gradient map. I have a small pack of gradients I downloaded from Tumblr ages ago, and I go ahead and set the gradient map adjustment layer to soft light before I start cycling through the gradients to see how each affect the orange in the image.

As for sharpening, I used to be guilty of oversharpening icon when I had a bad monitor. In my experience, less is more. I tend to duplicate the base layer, sharpen that, then lower its opacity. You can also use Edit > Fade Sharpen and bring it down. Whether I'm lowering layer opacity or using Fade Sharpen, I rarely have the number about 30 or 40.

agreeing with the other anons.

reply back regularly (even if just two or three times a week, whatever) and move the thread along, length doesn't matter. most of my rp partners these days don't do sprawling essays as tags anymore, anyway, and i'm fine with that.

I use this stuff since it's pet safe: http://ecosmart.com/products/ant-and-roach-killer.htm

It leaves behind a pretty strong minty smell for a while but that's better than regular "bug spray" smell.

I had ants once (they were coming for the dog food) and I basically sprayed it along the trail they were making and around the window they were sneaking in and they never came back again. Killed them on contact.
