Right after joining three new games I turtled down into a depressive void due to some rl and health issues. And now I’m too ashamed of flaking on people to get back into RP-slash-I have no idea how to get back into crap.

Life eats all of us on far too regular bases. But for real. Any of them I’m also on? Just poke, and I will find reasons to catch you up and pull you back.
Your being around makes games better. It’s never any issue to catch you back up again to things when you have capacity and wish to get back into stuff.

Whenever anyone asks why I haven’t been RPing so much recently, I just point at Baldur’s Gate 3 and suddenly the response is “Oh, that makes sense. See you in a month.”
I don't know what I'm doing. Poke at Seven Nations sevennations.aresmush.com port 2021

There’s a reason the phrase “Warcraft widow” existed back in the day.

Twinsies
I hope things get better for you soon.

@Cobalt i have periods of this (also experienced a brief one kicked off by a very depressing experience with a rando). But at least with the play partners and acquaintances i have now its perfectly fine bc most of them are going to be there too at some point. I bet all of the folks you interacted with on the new places feel the same way. Hopefully they’ll reach out or you can slip back in soon if that’s what you’d like to do. But I think most long term mushfolk understand. Doesn’t make it easier but you’re not alone.

I am friends with so many flakes
Every time they return I am genuinely delighted to see them though. There is never, ever a time I do not want to welcome back, greet, and RP with my flake friends.
The friend part weighs a lot more than the flake part. RL is a thing, mental stuff is a thing. I’m happy for any time of theirs that I get.

I’m like a fine flake sea salt.

For real, I have zero concept of time when it comes to friendships. Time spent apart just doesn’t register. If you haven’t talked to me for four years, I will not be mad. My reaction will be “Ohhhh, shit, dude! How are you? Where have you been?!” with no anger or disappointment, just excited to see you.
So if you haven’t talked to me since 2014 or whatever, come say hi. I promise it’s fine.

And before the Warcraft Widow, there was the Everquest Widow.

just don’t ambush her in a page with some ten year old reference

Give a bitch a break, will you?! I’m old and my mind is going, if there was ever any to begin with.
Seriously, I just didn’t remember your character name and thought you might’ve been one of my creepy stalkers. There’ve been a couple over the years and if they rear their heads…

It’s a general sentiment. I just get annoyed by people who have to be performatively kind/nice.

As a therapist in training (and current grief counsellor), I second this so goddamn firmly. It’s dangerous as hell.

Me: I’m going to RP! starts looking for RP
Outside: lightning strikes right above the house, taking out the power for a moment, and then the internet
Me: …or not.
