Dreams

The live update + the anon who posted about sneaking a peek in the game database randomly brought a dream a had a few nights ago back into my mind.

There was an FR live update and new items were being put in the database as usual, but they were all poorly-drawn, flat colored versions of what the final items were going to be (a la April Fools but slightly more polished). This was an attempt by staff to cover up what the items would look like before the actual reveal. There was a familiar that looked like a chubby plesiosaur (the descrip was a Nessie reference), and I can't remember anything else.

So ig let's make this a dream-sharing thread, whether they're FR-related or not.

lol I legit had a dream where the streams were crossed between Stranger Things, WoW and Flight Rising.

Please don't ask me to explain how it worked, just know the Shadow Monster was replaced with an Emperor and instead of the Upside Down, it was the Shadowlands mixed with it.

It was weird af and I woke up confused as hell lol.

my most vivid FR dream is that they released a prim/sec set that was themed around seaglass, where it made your dragon look transparent and glossy. kind of like if metalloy and capsule combined. was genuinely disappointed when i woke up and years later i still want it lol

Ooh, I support this. Seaglass would even be a perfect name for one of them. Translucent for the other?

I had a dream years ago where I was in the coli when the admins were trying to update something and accidentally set the coli drop rates to 100% for like five minutes. Every single possible drop for every mob, dropped in every battle. Imagine getting an egg for every single elemental enemy. The site exploded with people freaking out about how they were grinding as usual and got so much stuff, people freaking out about how they hadn't been in the coli and missed the accidental bonanza, and of course everyone was trying to speculate about how all those eggs, Eliminates, and other rare drops were going to wreck the economy. The forums were going too fast to keep up with. I basically stowed all the valuables away in my vault to sell when the prices had gone back up, chuckling to myself, then woke up and was very sad to realize it hadn't happened.

I once took a hiatus that lasted for nearly a year and I didn't think much about being done with the site for good. One night, I somehow ended up having a dream that my FR account was hacked and it spooked me enough that I went back to the site and logged in as soon as I woke up to make sure everything was okay, and that led to me idly clicking around the site looking at new stuff. One of those things was Dustcarve Dig, and I did a few interactive clicks to get the day's reward not very long before it was closed up (I had no idea it was a finite thing bc I didn't read the front page). Obelisks dropped that day and apparently my last minute contribution to Dustcarve gave me credit for the G1 Obe statue. Thanks, subconscious, except I've been invested in FR again since then.

I have more than 50 people blocked bc they're AH spammers, accent resellers, or they're obnoxious in the forums (rude, tiny/pastel text, etc)

And I'm an average FR user, not a well known accent maker, so like... idk, i see nothing wrong here.

Funny at folks mentioning they're blocked, but /shrug.

Being a G1 imp is the only thing notable about whatever the creature covered under all that crap is. Thread is very funny, got a chuckle out of me.

dude you don't have to go and insult the accent artist over this, whatever your thoughts on the actual gen one imp are

The dragon only has a handful of apparel items, so you're basically insulting the accent, and that's uncalled for.

I kinda agree? I saw it was an XYY and hoped it would be gened to complement it, but removing that skin makes it rather… underwhelming. I wish they used their own skin on that imp, would’ve looked far better :/

Seeing as Ado just got the dragon, they're probably making a custom- I have a XXX G1 that doesn't have an accent rn because I'm working on a custom for it.

(And we all know accents take 1-2 weeks to get approved)

eh most of them just seem understandably confused bc blocking on FR isn't a full "erase this person" block but yeah kind of awk to post about it lol

No need to dickride, this was going to be posted about because it's funny. Your friend will survive people laughing at their thread. Posting anywhere but sales forums is always a trip in some way.

What do I do about a TERF putting up stickers in the toilets? A few weeks ago I noticed a TERF sticker in the toilets at my work. I've reached out to HR but they don't seem to care. I do know who is putting up the stickers, but let's just say I didn't find out in the most ethical of ways lmao

Ew yikes. Depending on how much effort you want to put into it I'd vandalize them with a sharpie, cover them with new stickers, or try to remove them.

Reframe it as 'someone is destroying company's property', do not add more details on what kind of content they promote (assuming you didn't already do that). If there's a building manager, try them instead, also just mention 'property destruction' without details. If HR/building manager is fine with such 'destruction', add any other sticker on the terfy ones, don't bother with a particular message, neither their readers nor the one adding the stickers will change their minds easily anyway - or at least no random sticker in a bathroom made me change my mind, I go to the work bathroom to poop, not to hold debates.

Honestly, agreed, no one is going to change their mind over toilet stickers. My vote is just cover the message with stupid cheap stickers or sharpy. Sharpy may be better, as you can't be accused of damaging the toilet with stickers yourself then.

I don't care if it changes people's minds. It's incredibly hostile. I really feel like I need to hold the girl who posted them accountable. Weirdly enough, unlike most TERFs, she isn't ugly. I only found out who it was after looking through her bag lmao

going through coworkers personal belongings because you suspect one of them might be a terf? tell me you're under 25 without telling me you're under 25.

you're being grossly immature. there are legal/moral ways to scare your job into giving a shit that someone is putting up transphobic stickers that make you uncomfortable.
