(Okay, it's not /as/ bad as Black Friday. People are actually /happy/ to be at FCBD.)

Free Comic Book Day 

Hey, everybody, it's Free Comic Book Day, which is a huge event for all those local comics shops out there. If you've got a local favorite, today's a great day to head down and see all the new offerings coming out. I'm actually kinda sad because even though I'm on an amazing camping trip, I'm missing the chance to go to my local store, Phoenix Comics and Games in Capitol Hill. You should all totally go in my place and check them out today!

@kobold @emanate Yeah, I noticed it in the settings, but it's hard to remember when you've done it. I have the same problem with muting someone and forgetting to unmute. :-/

@kobold For what it's worth, I'm happy to see the function to turn off individual people's boosts, rather than all at once.

food, kink 

@rey Go for the pizza and wings, stay because DOM TOLD YOU TO. :-P

@Leucrotta Even more so: they're building the ship to get them to Planet Utah. :-)

@Leucrotta Yeah, even with her shadowed past, this is kinda why I like Naomi best. :-)

@cyndisision @emanate @starkatt

....Well yeah, if the fox becomes as much of a slut for being filled, she'll probably be saying that phrase often enough!

music-adjacent 

@LexYeen I never had a problem with the stations I had. They were fun to train! I just had the problem where I'd trained them too well, and it got really repetitive over time. But I'm weird about that.

@Mycroft I mean. that does happen too, but this was before we opened. :-P

@memnus I know how you feel, I've been drifting off this morning in various

(Context: I work at said store. The nerds were candy I was vacuuming up.)

A phrase that's much funnier out of context:

"I just walked into my comic store this morning and there were nerds all over the floor."

Dysphoria mention (hair) 

@memnus @emanate *nodnods* Fair. The buses are usually really overwarm, so even when I have a hoodie, I take it off as soon as I aboard.

Dysphoria mention (hair) 

@memnus Ooof. Hopefully you have a spare somewhere.

It's been no-jacket day for me for a week or so (except in rain), but I tend to run hot. :-)

Killing Eve 

@irisjaycomics I mean...without opening the content warning, and given the name of your girlfriend, this looked initially more disturbing. :-P

@sev @starkatt

....Iove the term "nesting partner", for multiple reasons, only one of which is bird-related. :-D

@starkatt Originally, a buried freeform roleplaying forum within a fake corporate website centered around the Douglas Adams computer game, Starship Titanic.

Later, the forums on Douglas Adams' personal website.

Later still, forums attached to the webcomic Dragon Tales, mostly the RP/story boards.

Then I found MUCKs. :+)
