I now have a banjo (Post) That's pretty cool! I'm glad you rescued the poor thing.

Post your dreams (Post) I just had a bunch of long wild dreams, but I can only remember one small part of one of them. I do remember that they were all fun, though!

There was a minigame involving a cat minefield. There was this little open room you were in and it was filled with cats. Some cats were safe to touch, but some would start ticking down from 4 (flashing orange each time, each tick lasting a second) and then explode after you made any contact with them. The cat would be sort of frozen in time while it was ticking down, so it'd stick in whatever state it was in when you touched it. The cats were all very friendly so it was almost impossible to not touch the ones closest to you. The objective was to survive as long as possible.

The explosions weren't gory or gross, they were like videogame bomb explosions.

I'd love to see what one would have to say about this one.

Post your dreams (Post) My most recent memorable dream is short and not-super-sweet, but you might find it funny.

I was trying to get away from a zombie that was violating my personal space. It wasn't trying to kill or eat me or anything; it just kept getting too close for comfort. I had a superpower where I could generate vines to grapple away with, but so did the zombie, so I didn't get to have much fun with that.

hi (Post) howdy hey hi

Scammers are getting smarter (Post) Ah, humanity's finest at work.

My dad recently fell for one of these and we were lucky that nothing came of it; he gave up an incorrect password to the fake login screen. (I do have 2FA enabled for him but given how I've seen things unfold on a certain other website, I'm sure a compromised password by itself would be more than enough to bring serious trouble.)

Always keep your guard up. Keep your guard so up that you keep your less technical friends and family informed, too.

March 2025 dev update (Post) Excellent stuff. Seeing the forum icon bug fixed is seeing the end of an era.

I feel conflicted about the removal of the Full Edit button. On one hand, I remember using that a lot, and I like having the option. On the other, I got that blanked post bug a lot too!

One thing seems to still be a bit fuzzed; times, perhaps? I cannot for the life of me mark the posts I just made as read. Check the topic? Still will show as unread when I go back to the listings. Click the big forum icon that marks everything read? That post still hasn't been seen yet, according to the forum.

New profile fields, bug fixes, and more! (Post) I've said it elsewhere already but it will do no harm to say it again: It's wonderful seeing Jaxboards 2.0 be a thing. Great stuff.

Suggestion for a feature: Time zone adjustment. That doesn't seem to be a thing, or at least I can't find it if it is.

On the note of time, new posts seem to have incorrect times.

We're back (really) (Post) IT LIVES

This is fantastic.

Post your dreams (Post) I had a weird dream that went on for a bit, and I woke up from it feeling physical repercussions! This would be the second time that happened recently. I might have to post the first time here too if I can remember enough of it or find where else I typed it up.

So, in this dream, I had just watched a video of a VR online shooter I wanted to play that was similar to a real one I've played that I liked.

Now I was actually playing it, and some weird things started lining up - one of the dudes in the video was against me and was doing some of the exact same moves, and I was trying to altar what seemed like set history, and I was very curious how there was already video of something that hadn't even happened yet. I could hear him in proximity chat saying the same stuff he said before.

I was unable to prevent my "trickshot" death because I got distracted by an attack dog that was hard to hit (it was a Chihuahua).

Then the dream jump cuts to a sort of tournament lobby where a bunch of players are preparing to team up and take on their competition, but I'm hearing a bunch of them talk about their fans (some were streamers) already knowing the outcome. Someone was complaining that they'd already seen someone play on a certain map for a tournament before, but the person in question had never actually set foot on it before, it was tourny exclusive and this was their first one.

At that point I let everyone know - "guys, don't panic, we're in the middle of a time paradox."

And then everything goes straight to crap.

The lobby is suddenly no longer a multiplayer game lobby, we're all physically there instead.

Gravity centralizes within everyone; we don't float away from our spots, we just rise up a tiny tiny bit into the air and get stuck where we are.

There is this pervasive constant static-like sound. Vision of everything is mildly distorted, as if everything was covered in black heatwaves.

A few people just vaporize into red mist straight away, while others seem to just shake violently. Some turn into question mark orbs.

While this is going on I feel this overwhelming sense of heat (but not red-hot heat, just like... extreme warmth) wash over me. I also felt like I was being slightly compressed. I also felt like my life was ending. It was a universe destroying paradox, after all.

Then I wake up and am still feeling those same physical sensations (thankfully not the feeling of life endage), but they faded away after a bit.

[Dev Topic] My untitled RPG project... a.k.a. Career Fantasy (Post) I haven't been posting because I'm a severe lazy-bones but I have been reading each and every update post with much excitement. I'm really looking forward to playing this.

Congratulations on getting this project to this point after all that time!
