We’ll see if I can get it running, my only personal machine right now is an old laptop running linux so I’ll have to try WINE…if it works at least you’ll know the basics are real solid to work even emulating windows on old hardware :P

I bet, that sounds awesome!

Ooh that’s a very cool aspect; as someone with a wife and a job I find I have a lot less time than I used to for gaming so something like that sounds really appealing! That said, I’m also hoping to experience the multi-user part so I’ll have a hunt around and see what’s still got folks playing!
I tried MUME, and it’s awesome so far; and lots of folks still play every day who have been playing since the early 90s which is wild!

Yeah I mean nowadays I feel like something like hello fresh or whatever meal delivery service (that still requires you to cook) is a big convenient treat. Delivery is so goddamn expensive, I ain’t made of money!

- Comment on Americans are destroying Flock surveillance cameras | TechCrunch 3 weeks ago:
This is such awful history; of course it works because it serves the US, but it does blow me away that otherwise well-meaning people continue to parrot it. You don’t have to be a “tankie” to stop spouting this nonsense.
You’re referring to the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. That was a non-aggression treaty, not an “alliance.” The soviets would be pretty foolish to make an alliance with a country whose fascist genocidal leader, hitler, made clear the inescapable need to invade the soviet union in mein kampf.
You know who else had already made non-aggression pacts with the Nazis before that? The UK, France, Italy, Poland, Denmark, Estonia, and Latvia. You think they were “allied” with the Nazis?
Hell the Spanish civil war was a proxy war that the soviets had to pull out of to get ready for invasion (much to the ire of western anarchists forever).
No, man. The soviet position was pretty damned clear: they needed time to mobilize. You think they were mobilizing to deal with…what, Poland? Everyone knew what was happening between the Nazis and the soviets. They still weren’t ready, and got slaughtered.
Dislike the Soviet Union for other reasons. There are plenty of good ones. This is nonsense.

I’m jumping into this and it’s very cool; thanks for the suggestion! I think the very-clear shared lore makes it so that it’s not a huge amount of work to get into it (for me anyway), and that consistency means you’re not going to have the weird issue that some of these seem to of clashing archetypes and themes (e.g. a telekinetic alien, a brooding goth gunslinger, and a magical rainbow pony walk into a bar).
That said, I do think the shared lore may restrict freedom a bit (I don’t know how plausible it would be to work towards making the events of the third age impossible…like leading a peasant revolt in Gondor or something).

Nice; thanks for the suggestions!
Solace doesn’t even show up on mudstats.com (which is a tool I just found last night to see how active various muds are)!
Gemstone and batMUD both seem kind of like pay-to-play options; is that your impression? No shame on that, I wouldn’t mind at all if I’d been playing for years and would know I liked it!
