PREPARING FOR IJ'S (HOPEFUL) RETURN

[goosemods]

Alright, everyone, with the (hopeful) return of IJ on the horizon, here are a few announcements:

• This fresh OOC post is dedicated to Cameron.


• Tomorrow, regardless of whether or not the site is up, we will be posting a list of the major events and IC/OOCs that are scheduled in March.
  • If we do get IJ back, we'll be posting the plot calendar at 11:00 AM tomorrow morning. This will save poor Marin from staying up until 3 AM formatting it.
• Regarding the IC explanation for the downtime: With the Grotto party having taken place tonight (3/3/17) with characters referencing no access to the journal network, if the network comes up tonight treat it as though characters woke up on Saturday morning with functional journals.


• If IJ does not come back tonight, we might be looking at an IJ-less weekend. The Quidditch game post will be posted here on DW on Sunday, and Saturday we might cave and make a Veritaserum meme.


• Let us know if you have any questions!


• Veritaserum Meme!

now i genuinely want to know if we still have a gamecube in the attic.

i'll ask my brother.

EDIT: apparently it is still there. living in a box somewhere. possibly under a pile of plastic toy soldiers.

EDIT 2: i asked him how pissed off he'd be if i stuck it in a box and mailed it to someone. the answer to this is apparently: INCREDIBLY. despite it being in the attic. under christmas decorations.

Did you tell him it's for a good cause

[greatdayforup]

my brother doesn't care. because he, much like me, is probably evil.

[greatdayforup]

also, if you sent me the reece & roxie thread, i promise that i didn't forget about it. i didn't get it. and then meant to say something. and then forgot about THAT.

which is still being forgetful. but at a different part of the story.

(not that you need to worry about sending it. i just didn't want you to think that i was forgetting. though i was. but STILL.)

[untarnish]

I have not sent it yet I'm an awful child who is behind on my tags

[greatdayforup]

pft, no worries. it'll be there when it gets there.

i'm supposed to be writing reports for work. instead i am eating peanut butter oreos and laminating velcro books about safety signs.

lmfao

my father once made a comment about me wasting my time talking to my imaginary friends on the internet. so everytime a friend gives me something, i throw it up in his face.

a couple years ago, we let our hulu subscription lapse, and i got the password of one of my friend's and put it on the living room tv, and refused to give it to him so he could use it on his tv. i was just like 'sorry, using my imaginary friend's hulu, get your own'.

it would've been hilarious if i just went to him and gave him a box and said 'my imaginary friend sent me a game cube for you'.

but i understand your brother. bc if gamecubes aren't obnoxiously expensive they're fucking nowhere. I tried to tell him that we can just get a wii, and plug game cube controllers into it and play the fucking games, it'll be fine, and a hell of a lot easier to find.

but me and my sister bought him a wii when it first came out. and ... men are dumb prideful creatures. I think the wii making him feel like a dumbass traumatized him. Like spend some time with the shit and learn and adapt for fuck's sake.

i sincerely wish that i could be this person.

but my brother is a hoarder - despite living in an apartment in the city where he probably couldn't fit his gamecube. my brother still has his dreamcast. what anyone ever used dreamcast for still greatly puzzles me. but he still has it.

he also gave me the same explanation re: the wii when i asked him about the gamecube's current location. and then asked me if i wanted to subscribe to comixology with him. (by which he means, pay for comixology for him.)

your dad is more advanced than mine. mine still complains about his intellivision. which is also in the attic. possibly under christmas decorations.

.......

dreamcast was my fav console :(




i have my dreamcast sitting in the back of my car, no lie.

i feel like most of my hatred comes from how bad i was at 99.8% of the games we had on it. i'd just rage-quit and make my brother play things FOR me while i watched and ate pringles.

[dogspotting]

i loved it bc in sonic adventure, there was a chao world and you could put your chao on the VMU screen in the center of the controller and you could pop the VMU thing out of the controller and carry your chao around like a digipet.

i spent 90% of that game playing in the chao gardens

[greatdayforup]

YES. omg, that was the only thing i could do successfully on that entire console. you have instantly reignited the tiny spark of love in my heart. everything is beautiful again.
