My highschool girlfriend - literally 2001, Freshman, and showed me secrets in Descent 1 deathmatch -
Er yeah she was super into Pern, and a MUSH for Pern.  When she wasn't outdoing me in Act Of War MUD.  Or making cute levels in my own MUD, heh.  Jeez, hard to believe that was less than two years...

As for Gor, I couldn't get into it because my "boyfriend" recommended it for bad reasons, a few years ago.  Sure seemed interesting, though.  Still got it.  But it's 50 shades tier.  If I want camp fantasy I'll go Fafhrd and The Grey Mouser, or Thieves World short stories.
right, back to sleep... nngh...

Yeah, I don't even know anyone IRL who plays roguelikes, let alone MUDs!

To exist or not exist, that is the query. For whether it is more optimal of the CPU to endure the viruses and spam of outragous fortune, or to something something something.

Someone on the OOTS subreddit just posted a theory regarding Thor and Hela: https://www.reddit.com/r/oots/comments/98wmd4/my_new_crazy_theory/

Not sure if it's been thought of here before.

It won't load right now, but there is no "Hela" in OOtS. The goddess in OOtS (and Norse Myth) is named "Hel", and Marvel added the "a" to the end for censorship reasons.

Because the word is too close to the word hell?

That link isn't loading for me either, it tries to load but then puts a 500 in the top left. I guess it's supposed to be a 500 type error.

I was super into Pern as well when I was younger; didn't MUD or MUSH, though.  Pern (Anne McCaffrey), Darkover (Marion Zimmer Bradley), and Valdemar (Mercedes Lackey) were my favorites on the fantasy side of things, though I suppose that thinking on it, it's interesting that two of the three are technically sci-fi/fantasy. 

I never tried Gor, though.  Avoided it by reputation.

Oh yeah, Darkover!  I haven't started it yet, but my mom used to tell me all about it.  It actually reminds me a *lot* of Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, to the extent that I actually feel like it was an inspiration for SMAC.
I've got a copy of Darkover: Landfall, but I think it's a prequel...

I'm 32 lol, and we had just entered high school.
But yeah, she was already playing MUSHes when we met, and I was playing MUDs.  We mostly worked together on my own generic little MUD because I hadn't read Pern, but I did visit that MUSH a little.  Seemed like a cool setting, dragons and sci fi.

Its a text base multi user role playing game. Its the forebearer to modern MMOs. Muds, typically, play a lot like MMOs. Mushes typiclaly play more like a lived role playing game where you do a lot of improvisional story telling. It can be free form, or lots of systems.

Like for instance, have you ever wonder why npc creatures in MMOs are called mobs?
Its short for Mobile. Because for Muds, there was a point in time, where they couldnt roam a given area.

I struggle to even find people online who play MUDs, outside of within the MUDs themselves.
