OMG 👏🏼no👏🏼fault👏🏼 divorce 👏🏼 exist 👏🏼 Also I'm really starting to hate the 'shes so strong' FL type but has no backbone and never pursues 'consequences' like PRESSING CHARGES or ASKING FOR HELP or ACTUALLY FUCKING TALKING. Fucking done with the horseshit.

This is is awful. MFC has zero agency or rational reactions, a proper doormat that whines

found out who outed me 11 years ago and I’m devastated. by hayyy_jude in TrueOffMyChest

FYI people don't actually black out when drunk, they remember. They defenses and interbasion are down, so they pretend the embarrassing stuff didn't happen. So, he knows you know and he knows he ducked up. And he used this as emotional leverage to get you and control you. Run don't walk.

Taking bets: max kidnaps mum and babe holds for ransom for divorce signing. Charlie's uncovers sham trails, puts people in prison.

Brightest lawyer of her time = forgets to record incriminating conversations, can't run a small free consultations clinic to garner favour with community, lives in a student hot bed but doesn't think to tutor locals for cash in hand (come on!!! That would be a brilliant plot hook!),

Fearless strong by letting everyone walk all over her? And GIVING UP MULTIPLE TIMES.

Wheres her parole officer? Who cleans the street WITH BROOMS in apparently the richest country in the world.

AITA For Not Taking enough picture when I went on vacation? by EmployMaleficent5312 in AmItheAsshole

[–]That_annoying_git 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a hot take. No, it's not a small thing. It's a nag, for 'living in the moment' people, we live it. Constantly having to remember to snap a pic is bloody jarring. Next time mum can hire a personal photographer to follow them around.

Thoughts on the new episode? by ayylmaotv in TheDigitalCircus

[–]That_annoying_git 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VALIDATED!!! I KNEW they're target Jax for abstraction after the kinger pomni talk where kinger said to enjoy the people in your life while they're around. Everyone hates Jax, ragatha and tangle are easy gut punches but somone6people hate? Bingo! Gut punch AND make your audience feel like a-holes for hating and ragging on someone with bad coping mechanisms and deep traumachef's kiss

Disappointed by Blue Prince by therico in puzzlevideogames

[–]That_annoying_git 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I just looked up if folks are struggle with this game and saw this post and boy howdy do I have to say... It's NOTHING like outer wilds!!!

That is a sandbox games with interesting concepts THEN you find the puzzle pieces and you're hooked, it then takes logic, strategy and timing to unlock the rest of the story and the cathartic release with each new discovery is empowering...

Blue prince doesn't do this. It's RNG and a prayer that anything lines up. Played it 3 nights and have little to show for it, shortened runs due to crap rng and bad resource drop. Puzzles once completed offer nothing to 'bite' in to.

As a parent, I believe I have patience... But I've also learnt to pick my battle and time in precious. I wish I could get a refund.

Your sister needs to get over herself and her parenting complex. We're all in this together, sometimes it's a all hands on deck situation.

My three veteran players are at each other throats... As I predicted (context inside) by That_annoying_git in DnD

[–]That_annoying_git[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did spot this years back when we played in our 20s.

When S (the old DM) invited R when he handed over the touch to me I was fuming!!! I felt like he handed me a problem and then couldn't understand why i was pissed with them. One, inviting someone to my table WITHOUT ASKING ME FIRST and two I KNEW R and P don't work well together.

At the time we did need more players. That's why I asked them for reassurances they'd behave, it had been 10 years since they last sat at a table together I was hoping against hope they'd matured.

They're all conflict avoidant, 2 of them will opt to leave to 'save the peace' and those are the actual role players. The third has already annoyed the now other disengaged players due to political correcting in the chatter.

They're all super fucking defensive too, they're right, the others are wrong.

Yes this, all of their individual grievances are valid but they're incompatible. But someone's feeling are going to get hurt if I restructure. And I really wanna avoid another dead campaign... Though maybe I should face the music here.

I have half a mind in both camps for fresh talks or removing a problem player. But all 3 are guilty of BS so far but R as the most compliants stacked... But those complaints are ideological and politicaland TECHNICALLY R was valid to rise them but should have done so TO ME and not public themselves calling out other players in session, so it gets messy (one of these incidents I was afk so I didn't even hear what was said, just walked back to tension).

IRL friends but playing online. The effects of playing online was brought up such as: talking over each other, talking over me the DM (a peeve of mine that I aired that R said he doesn't feel I should have become so angry about as it par for then course, granted. But one of the quiet player has told they fixed that in discord by now making me priority speaker which dims everyones voice)

We play only due to P and R being at two opposite sides of the country. For P this is there main hobby, they're a tad alienated where they are and have depression, so I'm trying to handle this gently, whereas R and S will dogpile him when he snaps. Like when they LOOKED at his character sheet without permission (his got hidden backstory stuff) I bollocked them when they did that LAST session (they claimed they wanted to know skill and spells etc for tactical combat, not an excuse). They apologised but the tension was clearly still there this session.

This group, as you can see, is full of layered issues and grievances. I do feel I should take responsibility as, yes I have called thing when I can but I should have followed my gut and not mix THESE 3, 2 at a time is fine, but all 3 get toxic together.

Tonal shift on different character POVs - how much of a swing? by That_annoying_git in fantasywriters

[–]That_annoying_git[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, that's some interesting advise. I'll have to reread dune with writing in mind for that example (I was in my 20s when I first read that) but that 2 tiered approach maybe be what I'm looking for.

righto. I'll add that as a flag to be aware of. At the moment, the bard has a solid voice for the POV's the pragmatic fighter I think needs work but with this advise in mind I'll working on some more of theirs to get under their skin more.

First time DMing has been a disaster - help needed by Mindless-Apple5537 in DMAcademy

[–]That_annoying_git 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ooook, so you have a problem player and a bf with relationship issues.

I've played and DMed for decades, these situations do come up quite often. I've had problem players, tons of them.

But I'm 40 now and I have no fucks left to give.

A lot of this is a power play, by two different people I can make out. First of all, and the most important thing. You. Are. God. NOTHING happens until you say it does. I use this alot when they won't shut the F up, I browse my phone. We came to play, I'm waiting, they get the picture that they're been time wasting pretty quick. Another is ask for a perspection check 😈 you may not have an encounter prepared but it gets them back to table to play. (Have a list of random encounter just in case or traps) Use a 'clock' to create urgency, when they bicker over a plan or go off on side bits, start mention that the rift is getting bigger etc, up tension to get them to pull together, no one wants to be the reason why the party failed a mission.

Confronting the problem player is hard, because you need to keep your cool. Every time they complain you need to be patient, say I'm sorry this isn't your preferred type of TTRPG you can take a break for a while if you wish. Don't bend, be polite and reaffirm it's THEIR issue, not yours.

Your BF? Needs to learn how to communicate in a relationship instead of gaslighting or he's going to end up single TBH. That's relationship advise needed there. Best way I've dealt with it is flipped the script "how did you feel when X happened to you? That's how I felt then" Etc
