Re: Style Ideas
A true @Xavin style that hits any of your allies in the room with you before it hits the target.
Re: Style Ideas
Not exactly a style request but an idea I had regarding styles:
I say you take Elene's idea and the clumsiness scrolls and apply it to every classes bashing skill as default and have it tied directly to the skillrank of the skill involved (or level). As you level up/invest lessons you move on to the current default messages and then at Trans you get either a class specific one for your guild or you get one at random (for your class/guild still)

Re: RL Struggles, Strife, and Sadnesses
I have it better than most, and all of the things that I deal with seem like first world problems-- but I also literally never talk about my life ever, at all, with anybody these days, and that's probably not great haha.
My spouse went to grad school a couple years ago, and it was really hard. We just got through it, barely, financially, and I was the only one making money. I had to give out several IOUs to contractors in order to keep the lights on during COVID-- it was terrifying and stressful. But we made it through.
All of that threw me into a massive depression spiral, one that was hard to get out of, and was only aggravated by moving to a new state, without any childcare, without any support network. Then to top it all off, my spouse literally broke their back in January (making me temporarily a single parent and a caretaker for my spouse, as well as trying to work full time)-- I nearly had a mental breakdown (or did have one) when the combination of decompressing from the financial strain of the past several years plus all the other obligations and responsibilities I have became extremely overwhelming.
The silver lining is that my spouse is feeling better, and after a medication boost, I am too. I can't wait for COVID to be over so I can get back in therapy and also stop feeling like a bad parent 24/7 because my kid is essentially locked inside away from the world.

Re: Warhound Breeding is Hell: we need to fix it
Alternatively, we can leave it alone and spread this super fun and immersive mechanic to Spirit tether. Joy should be shared, after all.

Re: RL Struggles, Strife, and Sadnesses
My brother died this morning.Sometimes, knowing you're being heard can help you find a single ray of light to even begin to comprehend, or breathe, or anything.
I don't know what to do.
I don't understand the emotions it's causing in me. I don't understand how to think anymore. I don't know how I'm supposed to act like everything is normal after this. I know deep down my body will reach its natural capacity for grief and essentially flush the system, but right now I'm like the crab in the bucket. I can't see outside of this feeling at all.
I don't know how I'm supposed to sleep tonight.
I don't even know why I'm posting this here, except that the alternative is to somehow hijack a news stream and tell the entire world.
When it was confirmed to me that my husband had passed away from suicide (nine years ago this year), I was surrounded by employees of the apartment complex we lived in, and a police officer who'd had the misfortune of being on the premises when I went to the rental office for help with getting past our privacy lock. As I fell apart in front of them, I distinctly recall hearing one of the women ask another, "Should we get some help for her?"
There's no help with that kind of grief. Time eventually eases the jagged edges a little. Sometimes talking helps, sometimes it makes things worse - and there's no guarantee each day, each moment, which one will be the right thing. When nothing else helps, just breathe, and let your brain disengage if you can.

Re: RL Struggles, Strife, and Sadnesses
When I was struggling with a loss, the below analogy helped me a lot. Just sharing in case it could also help anybody else here. Spoilered for length, but very much worth the quick read.

Re: RL Struggles, Strife, and Sadnesses
Thank you. Disengaging is the only thing I've found to work - after that it just takes time, which by the way, sucks complete ass.
I think I've reached a point of stability; haven't felt like crying the instant I woke up. Thank you to everyone who reached out to me. It's not better, nor is it ever going to be, but it hurts a little less today.
