Apropos of nothing

Most people only want to play the newest, official, proper, currently in print version of whatever game it is. It’s a weird phenomenon. Which leads people to getting bent about the new version doing things they don’t want. Because they’ve decided they have to play the new version and they have to play RAW. I don’t know why they do this. But they do.

Well, sometimes its because they've gotten vacuumed up in a networking problem. That is to say, the people they have to play with are going to play the new version because its The Game, and as such they either get to play it or not play at all.

At that point they'll often find themselves in a futile war for mindspace. Its pointless but understandable. In some areas where a person would like to play almost anything but D&D they're in much the same situation.

I remember being utterly baffled by the extended vintage car race in the middle of American Psycho. Turned out I'd fallen asleep and woken up during the next movie.

I do think it's funny that the first quarter or so of Psycho is actually a movie about bank robbery/embezzlement. It's two films in one.

Which, in turn, makes me irritated when people get mad at From Dusk 'Till Dawn doing something similar, which certainly seemed intentional on Tarantino's part. (He wrote the script that Rodriguez directed.)

All of these people need to embrace online gaming until they can find more reasonable people to game with in person.

Or just embrace online gaming.

Or just embrace online gaming.

Or find reasonable gamers to embrace.

I don't disagree in principal, but its abundantly clear that some gamers (especially some older ones) just Can't Do Online Play. It might as well not exist. And I'm not talking about technical issues (though in some places that's not trivial).
