Dude, you're three steps into the loop of meta instead...

I wanted to post something in the "Is Intimidation the worst skill in the game?" thread but I couldn't do it. I saw a lot of ideas that I thought were good and a lot of ideas that were... not. I've tried using a different set of skills than standard 5e for "social" checks and while it's early days I think it's way better. But that's only at my table with my players. It appeals to my preferred balance of roleplay, simulation, and game mechanics. I didn't want to argue it's finer points or tell others why I thought their ideas were bad. Normally, I can do that and have a discussion. But it turns out this discussion triggers my irrational anger and I decided to just leave it be.

"Three Steps Into the Loop" - sounds like either a band name or, more likely, the name of some hipster craft beer that nobody actually drinks but lots of people profess to like.
No need to do that. This is the thread to post in whenever you don't post in another thread.To avoid the potential endless loop of starting another "I didn't comment in another thread" thread to point out that I didn't comment in this one, I'll just comment in this one here and now and get it over with....
Now if only we can get all the "announcing announcements" posts to come this way...

Or, a reference to Tales from the Loop...

Which, if so, would be completely lost on me...
That's okay. The show was... sullen. Well made, but sullen.
I don’t think it’s something I have the ability to change.
It's so hard not to look at the accident at the side of the road as you drive by though...

If you read what the other person wrote, it might get in the way of the VERY IMPORTANT POINT you have to make.

Speak for yourself - I don't want to rear-end the guy rubbernecking ahead of me and get blamed for the whole combined accident !
Three unconstructive posts in the first two pages of a thread. It really is ok to just shut up if you're not even going to try to be useful. (Or, come here and vent once in a while). Ditto to someone else having to say folks can just move on after they obviously can't themselves. And get better glasses? WTF!?
Seriously, a boatload of us apparently need a vacation to recharge whatever item usually raises the CHR rolls from critical failure to just abrasive.

This week I've written 4 posts and deleted them before posting. They weren't going to add much, and would probably have just drawn the ire of mods. Maybe my perspective has changed or maybe there's less tolerance here for disagreement. But, yeah, I'm going to be posting less on here. Just seems less friendly these days when even the mods assume you're coming from a place of bad intent with your fellow gamers.

I've noticed a lot of common discussions seem to turn into conscientious civil wars. I dont really get the animosity thats been going around lately. Maybe, its a cycle, maybe, it's the pandemic, but it always seems to fade back into normalcy sooner or later. Perhaps a short break for a bit to refresh your interest in discussions is in order?
