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.

Quitting games is hard.

please. i am begging people. when new to a game, take a week to get a sense of the culture and if it’s a good fit for you before you do shit that sucks up everyone’s attention and energy, and make sure you even understand the basics of how the game runs and why before you make a thousand suggestions about how to change it.

this type of personality is extra wild to me because it’s almost completely just about tone-deaf bragging. y’know, it’s actually more impressive to me when someone can easily navigate a system someone else has made, rather than listening to them improvise “improvements” that are likely more broken in the long run, or even just nakedly of benefit to the person suggesting them.

Today my MUSH peeve is that I just realized it’s silent hEaven and not haven.
But also I’m pretty sure I keep making that realization and forgetting and then finding myself surprised every time. Being old sucks.

SO ANCIENT.

@bear_necessities I’ve had that moment like three times myself, personally. I feel you.

9 times in the last two hours?

Baulders Gate and Genshin Impact are my peeves this month. Literally sucking all my attention from every single thing…

Me. My peeve is me. My attention wanders and I leave folks waiting. Thankfully I mostly do async scenes, but I hate this part about myself.

@Rinel ah yes, ADHD: the game. I know it of old.

There’s a post on r/MUD right now about a game I really don’t like and haven’t played in a decade.
Having actually played it though, the post is baffling to me because it’s an endless list of complaints about systems that are honestly very normal. Like characterising a game-wide PvP event as “everyone is bullying me”. No man, it’s a PvP event, some people are into it, that’s who it’s for.
It would be like if I joined an AresMUSH for the first time and immediately proceeded to complain about how people spend 90% of their time online OOC. Wow, no one cares about RP here. My immersion.
In any context/culture, the inability to adapt/assess always smacks of entitlement and small-headedness to me. How does one go through life like that? ‘No, no, this grocery store is all wrong! The sweets are supposed to be at the front, not at the back! I must speak to the manager about this.’

Peeve: The Bill & Ted Circle K (along with a bunch of other Phoenix-area filming locations) is closed now: https://www.azcentral.com/story/entertainment/media/2022/04/27/circle-k-bill-teds-excellent-adventure-closing/9550188002/
We’ll always have the memories.

Dealing with a clique and an abundance of main character syndrome is very exhausting. Can I have a nap?

@Twinkle Heh, sounds like the main premise of Mage: the Ascension

@Polk Let’s be honest, we can find these people everywhere now.
