Hey, so I know the bg forums have devolved into epic bg drama forums, but the “lounge” that Tsatsaga made all these years ago is supposed to just be a nice chill non flame space.
Like where we can shoot the breeze about toddlers enjoying black coffee, the history of our mana forums bans, etc
My friends.
Please pour one out for my mouse.
After 12+ years of faithful service it has finally passed away.
This mouse has been through everything.
Dropped.
Spilled fluids on.
greasy pizza fingers.
Pretty sure I tossed it at a wall back in mop.
I have a bad habbit of holding on to things for too long lol, my backpack is 20+ years old now. I also have a lot of my clothes form high school still.
The whole thing is silly anyways. I don’t even care about it myself
As far as I know, this is the only forum where you need to “grind” to do basic stuff like posting an image… on a forum that requires a $15/month fee via having an active game account
Meanwhile, on like 99% of other internet forums - that cost $0 - you can create a fresh account and instantly start posting images, posting links, etc
One of the forums in my rotation (politics-themed board), you don’t even need an account to post… there is an optional $10/month membership with extra perks, but everyone has full posting abilities (including anonymous users without an account)
Then you compare all those other forums with this one, and then you realize just how “prudish” and backwards this place is in comparison
Way back when ( well before trust level was a thing ) I used to post up memes and stuff a bunch, I was just trying to post a GIF earlier and realized I couldn’t
Awesome! Enjoy. I saw the one a few years back and it was honestly amazing.
Just had a small earthquake here in the NYC area; if this was more olden times I’d think it was the end of the world to have an earthquake followed up by an eclipse lol.
I’m in northern Virginia, hoping to catch the eclipse myself. Won’t be total, but good enough. I was lucky and got to see the May 1984 (dang, 40 years ago!) eclipse down at Virginia Tech - pretty much totality - and it was surreal; temperature dropped like 20 to 25 degrees, and the shadows became double-blurred because of the ring of fire, like living in the bottom of a fishbowl.
