Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

Or a cut-up hot dog. One of my favorite work lunches (I eat at my desk) is two mac & cheese bowls (prepared the night before), dumped into a sealable microwave reheat cup with two cut-up hot dogs. Three minutes in the microwave at lunchtime, stir, and I'm good to go!

On a slight tangent, one of my favorite meals for home is a scramble of hotdogs, eggs, diced taters, onions and sometimes some peppers if I have them. Usually with a fair amount of ketchup mixed in before serving.

Intriguing!

I live by a few, simple ideas-

1. People like what they like.
2. Elves are dead-eyed, soulless abominations.
3. It is better and easier to convince someone to try something by telling them that this is new thing is good and fun, than by trying to convince them that they are bad or ignorant for liking what they like.
4. There are only two things in the world that I cannot abide; people who are intolerant of the roleplaying choices of others, and bards.
5. It's better to try and understand why people like what they like than to assume people don't know better.
6. I don't know about you, but I take comfort knowing that he's out there. The Dude. Takin' er easy for all us sinners arguing on enworld.
-Abraham "Edition Warrior" Lincoln, shortly before getting killed after he said, "I don't get the big deal about orcs and alignment."

Generally I think there isn't a wrong way to game, there's just wrong people to run a particular style of game or ruleset with. Early in the 3e days I was invited to join a group with some Army friends and the DM's style was basically "mess with the players so no matter what, they lose". No matter what you said, he'd find a loophole to have it turn out bad for you. The rest of the group was having fun with it because they saw it as a constant challenge to try to stay ahead of him and make him come up with more ridiculous ways to screw them over. I should probably point out for those who haven't served in the military, you spend a lot of time in isolated locations with nothing better to do in your downtime but mess with each other so everyone at the table was used to that sort of thing and they were having fun. But for me it wasn't how I wanted to enjoy D&D, so I left mid-session when a football game came on and never went back. But I would never say they're doing it wrong, because they were all having fun.

On that note Snarf, I had a campaign idea I wanted to pitch for you to play in. I call it "Oops! All bards!"

Jebus, get a grip, please.

Its certainly something. I've asked people to make plain what they are actually missing, real live people mind you, if they put their socials away.

The answer is, very very little, but amplified angst and wailing.

We existed without social media, and would be wise to get rid of it before our society implodes.

This would imply that the number of remote friends who social media makes easy to interact with are disposable. I can't follow you there.

We used to have a way to do that that worked out pretty great.

Letters, or Phone Calls.

Heck, between Emails, Skype/Teams/Zoom? We do not need Facebook/Twitter.

Time consumption is a thing. I can fit in a chat with people around other things. I couldn't do that with phone calls, and the temporal overhead on letters was higher.

I call it "Oops! All bards!"

In the first session, I trapped the Bards on the Island of M&Ms.

They all starved to death when I told them that anything with a "W" on it was poisonous.

Since you'll be playing a bard, I'm going to need you to rephrase that in the form of a song.
