Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[overgeeked]

You'd clearly rather be playing a Civilization game on Settler...so go play one.

You'd clearly rather be playing a co-op legacy boardgame...so go play one.

You'd clearly rather be playing a Rogue-like or a Souls-like...so go play one.

You'd clearly rather be playing a mega-dungeon with endless, mindless combat...so go play one.

And you're just happy to be here. Thanks for playing.

Why these people insist on sitting around the same table, playing the same game, and all trying to force that one game in at least four opposing directions is beyond me.

It's like my mother always said, "If you can't think of something good to do for the world, aspire to be so terrible they name a whole era after you."

It's like Snarf's mama always told me, "Iron sharpens iron, sonny boy, so stop drinkin' up all my brown liquor and go argue on internet forums sober. If it doesn't turn you into a lawyer it'll at least turn you into a rules lawyer, and either way they'll curse your name."

I intend to be a subject of some interest to my local medical examiner/s.

I'm apparently a source of mixed interest and frustration to my cardiologists.

Edit: Just to make it clear that's not as bad as it sounds, its more that I have occasional outbreaks of atrial fibrillation, but it doesn't seem to otherwise impact my health, nor have, well, any cause that any cardiologist has ever been able to determine in 15 years.

Doctors really, really hate having medical conditions they can't find causes for; its annoying enough they have a technical term for it ("syndrome"). Even if they can't figure out anything to do about something, they really don't like thinking they're missing something.

You know, they schedule these guys to do, like 30 interviews a day during the press junket after production has wrapped. I think about how distracted I get in the (fewer) meetings we have to go over a completed project, and how bored I get talking about my part in it over, and over, and over, and over, and I marvel that more of these guys don't fall asleep during these things.

I read recently that Emma Watson has been put off acting in movies because of what she describes as the “soul destroying” aspect of having to promote them.

Clearly the devil was a carpetbagger.

(I would have to come up with a whole new shtick for an equivalent bit with my mother. Imagine a druid priestess crossed with a paladin, make her a sociology professor, Irish language teacher, and anarcho-syndicalist and you're starting to get a glimpse. Gygax doesn't know from complicated. )

Irish language teacher

Oh. Is she a native speaker?

Finding enough people interested im roleplaying at all and with enough overlapping free time can be very very hard.

Yeah, some people in the "no gaming is better than bad gaming" can't understand people who want to game enough they'll deal with a lot of problems to try and get a game in, and sometimes that's what's required.
