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.

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.

My peeve is that this hobby is like a teenage toxic ex to me. I want to give it time, but I don’t have time to really give it. I like the good times, but the bad times were BAD. However, I still really love and miss it. I can’t really quit it, but I can’t start it and I’m in a loop of I miss the stories and writing, but then… but then.
I love all of you though!

wow you look great these days girl

Thank you. It’s the bright blue hair. It fools people.
Also, you can never have that toxic love like you did as a teenager where you LOVED them and people were RUINING YOUR LIFE by saying otherwise.

Having been in this hobby for so long, I must be one of the rare lucky ones that have really lucked out on not having many bad times, at least ones that I recall. But the good times were definitely fun and what draws me back to this hobby when I have time and the mental bandwidth to try to put an earnest effort into a game.

Growing up on this hobby has unironically given me everything from literal trauma I’ve been in therapy for, written skills that have served me exceptionally well professionally/academically, and inadvertently introduced me to the love of my life. I get it, @RightMeow. I also feel that mix of nostalgia/craving and fear/disgust/anxiety for the rollercoaster of very good times and very bad times I’ve had with it.

@RightMeow Would starting your own game be the equivalent of having a baby to save the toxic relationship?
Because I’ve considered it rather seriously for more than a few moments of late.

More like trying to take the kids (players) in the messy divorce.

what kind

on rp being full of really good and really bad times, i’m waiting for the day i’m a calm enough person that the hobby i love feels like a completely healthy indulgence. I get so much out of it, there’s genuinely nothing to replace it, but it can also be so grating on my emotional well-being. I tend to feel pretty alone in this, or like I shouldn’t talk about it because nobody else feels things intensely like i do surely. lol anyway, i just thought about that reading some above comments.
-
@Artemis I think you’re in good company, even if that’s not something people like to talk about.
-
@Artemis I think lots of people want to talk about that. The community-entity makes it rough.
Like, eh. Sometimes I read Elizabeth George mysteries. I adore Barbara Havers and actively dislike(d) Inspector Linley. I enjoyed disliking him and used to want bad things to happen to him. When the worst thing ever happened to him, I felt guilty about it, and I have a new set of feelings about Linley.
If something like that happened on a MU, I’d have to be damned careful who I talked to about it. I’d fear that Linley’s player and/or friends thereof would equate me disliking Linley in the first place to me saying that Linley’s a bad character, and the player not just a bad player but a bad person.
And if it was public, people with no connection to that story at all would pop up to tell me that my level of emotional investment in the game is unhealthy, and that I should quit. This feels bad.
I say that games-of-emotional-regulation are part of why RPGs and fiction in general exist, and we should support the feels a lot more.
