It really just doesn’t bother me. It’s like @jenn said. Last weekend I learned that a friend of mine (a) is Ojibwe and (b) speaks Norwegian. I’ve known him for nearly twenty years,
My immediate reaction to people spending XP in the middle of a scene is “Noo! Wrong!” but after taking a moment to contemplate how this relates to that all-important question “So fucking what?” I don’t see it as being a real problem.

As I said, it’s a fringe issue, and only for some people (like myself), and most people who have this as a peeve it’s a low priority peeve at best, not something that would cause me to avoid a game. That said, if I ran a game, it would have an XP room and leaving mid scene to go use the XP room and come back would be forbidden. And I would suspect that having that policy wouldn’t be a game killer.

Peeve, the (bad) public chat comedian. Everything is a fumbled attempt at a joke and a convo killer. We are nothing but a captive audience to them, and they refuse to engage with players in any way that doesn’t center around them.
If you’re gonna’ go up there with a mic at least be funny, aaaaa.

@Yam the trouble is that people like this are generally bad at comedy due to a fundamental inability to read the room.

@Yam The abundance of this sort of thing is why comedy-themes give me The Fear even when they’re totally great game settings. Discworld comes to mind. (Though I guess that short-lived Discword MUSH was actually pretty good, and my fear unfounded in that case?)

@Yam Imagine a horror game where seven out of every ten characters ICly are this person and they all do it at each other all the time and you have my peeve.

Now I want to group app a bunch of failed comedians moving together to a creepy small town to try and rebuild after getting booed out of The Comedy Store.
