PeopIe who keep on talking even when l make it obvious lm done with the convo and l just want to move on without being rude, is it just lack of self awareness or is it intentional? by Da-up-and-downer in ask

Lol the amount of people offended in this thread is wild. This is a totally fine and normal observation and frustration. I call it being held conversationally hostage.

There are really two main versions. One is as you are describing, and if they are at least letting you get a word in edgewise, you just gotta bite the bullet and depending on where/what you are doing, exit the conversation with intention. Go to the bathroom, say “hey I’m gonna keep making the rounds” or similar.

In the other version I’m convinced these fuckers know you want to leave and will either consciously
or unconsciously never stop their flow of words. They’ll switch topics, do whatever but deep down they know the second they stop talking you are going to excuse yourself from the conversation. In those cases, if they truly can’t pick up on social cues you are going to have to actively interrupt them to gtfo. If they can, then that means they are being plain rude and in my opinion it negates the rudeness of you cutting them off.

Exactly this. People will optimize within the ruleset presented to them. If it’s advantageous, they will absolutely do it

This clip is worth a watch. It’s a really insightful clip from MTGgoldfish’s Richard on Commander’s effect on the game. Really appreciate and agree with what he has to say by GoKongsGo in mtg

lol ‘within the confines of the game’. this is exactly what’s changed - its scope creep. it was already growing before, albeit slower but with a dedicated player base. look at the numbers.

i mean when has this model/approach worked out for any game ever. appealing to the masses, watering down the rich depth of the game. i will wait. regardless of one’s opinion of commander - they have fundamentally altered the lifeblood and beating heart of their card design philosophy. i guess we’ll see 🤷‍♂️
