I mean, honestly, what you're describing appals me - two hours to pick dinner? Two weeks to pick a feat? If someone described me that way I'd feel pretty burned. Whereas someone calls me a power gamer? Who cares. I know if I am better than them, and I wouldn't consider it an insult anyway. Call me a munchkin, which I have never in my life been, and then we're talking insults. But you're saying for people you know, it's flipped, and like power gamer is extremely insulting, and yet "takes two weeks to pick a feat" is totally cool. I am I admit unable to even picture someone who would take even a few days to pick a feat who wouldn't meet my definition of "power gamer" (which is to say someone who invests significant effort in ensuring their character is mechanically effective, not just cool or fun-seeming or whatever).</p></blockquote><p></p>
