The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

[Umbran]

Sure, but you're also not threadcrapping on another thread,

I mean, it's hard enough to avoid the dopamine rush for commenting on the thread in question ...

Which is why I point it out nice, and not in red text and all. This can totally be about the frustration of when you recognize you ought to keep your mouth shut. But if it becomes about passive-aggressive posting where we don't think anyone's watching, it will get closed.

Sure.

If you think that this joke thread with people posting in it instead of posting in other threads is really the issue, then maybe it should be closed.

...or perhaps not, given it started over a year ago, and has been used to vent about multiple threads, but what do I know?

I would be very sad if it got closed

For the longest time, I thought the Radiohead lyrics were "I'm a creep, I'm a widow..." and I couldn't figure out just what that was supposed to mean.

Yorke is ... notoriously difficult to understand.

Yorke is ... notoriously difficult to understand.

I'lll say! At half of the Radiohead concerts I have been to, Yorke has gone on some kind of rant about how the croque monsieur is the best of all sandwiches, and the king of the grilled cheese. Which really raises a lot of questions- after all, given that he is a vegan, is this some sort of Proust-ian reverie, his madeleine? Has he found a really good and melt-y vegan cheese?

Other people might be keying on things like the ham, but really, what about the béchamel sauce? What is Yorke's secret? I think he mumbled the recipe at one concert, but I could not make out the words- probably because he was noshing on one of his famous sammies.

Anyway, at one of the shows, someone in the crowd called out, "Croque Madame, you poseur!" And that just set him off. He was just like ... "What? An egg? You can't just put eggs on anything you want and make them something new!" And then he segued into that song ... Every egg in its right place.

Guy can put on a show. And make a mean vegan croque monsieur.

Frustration vent incoming, not connected to any thread; however, my frustration could leak over into other threads, so it's better to quarantine it here.
I have a group that's gotten notorious for cancelling at the last minute, but still wanted me to keep a weekly game slot open for them. So I suggested moving to biweekly, and they still keep cancelling. And then I suggested that they can either make more of an effort to play (on the VTT), cancel with more notice, or we could take a break until everyone's schedule works out.
So half the guys gave no response at all, for two weeks now. Another guy wants to change up everything we're doing, but he's also one of the "unreliables."
This is pretty darned frustrating. Hope everyone else is having better gaming experiences.

Not much better here. I hadn't played in several years then not too long ago had the opportunity to play, online, with a couple from Tennessee and a DM in France. The bunch of us are all fans of Zombie Orpheus Entertainment and met on their Facebook/Discord. Went well for a while, but the DM decided that with the way that France as 'dealing' with Covid, he had to get out for his own health.

Before that, I had an experience very much like yours. We had 5 players in the group. Two would routinely cancel at the last minute, with another couple cancelling intermittently and also with little notice. The two prime suspects both swore that they would be able to play more often if we could set up something online so I put together a rig so that they could attend live events, virtually, by effewctively giving them a seat at the table. We were already using a VTT and a projection table that I built, so just needed camera, mic, and computer for the virtual seat. One guy played this way, twice, then ghosted. The other kept begging off.
