Oh goody, it's a half movement day.

This, only for RPGs.

Sure seems like today’s theme is if you’re not on the social medias 24/7, your game in this wonderful industry is toast, to which I say it can’t be much of an industry if that’s the case.

If you're online 24/7, then when do you have time for said game?

When you're playing your game online

Maybe they do, but just think that text walls will conceal what they don't know?

I have a few friends who are the "I put on a youtube video about this in hte background while I played video games, I will now pretend I'm an expert" sort and imo the walls of text don't really hide how little they know very well, but in the case of the reddit poster who inspired that post I know they didn't because their first post about it ended with "I feel like I should look into this".
In the end I remembered most forums have an ignore/block feature for a reason and resorted to that.

If you ask someone to perform a task....

If you are not their boss, their superior in some way, and they have been doing it without you forever, you can certainly offer advice, or request it be done a certain way, but dont give me the Pikachu Face when you are told 'no, I'll do it this way or you can walk'.

We who 'do' are not interested in being told how by those who 'do not'.

I had sort of the opposite issue, this week, with the two good other team members and one of the wastes of skin on vacation. One of the other guys said, "If you're being overwhelmed, just tell us to do a work order." The other said, "It's a lot easier, for me, if you tell me what's int he queue that needs to be done." I have seniority over both of them, by almost 2 decades for the first and 7-8 years for the second, but am decidedly not their supervisor. The first even has a slightly higher job rating than do I. I shouldn't have to tell them to do their jobs.
