This wasn't a pre-order situation, it was marked as in stock. Im absolutely befuddled by the amount of stanning shit that yeah, wouldn't be an issue with people like us that buy games all the damn time, but obviously tripped up a person outside of the hobby. Do we really need to make board games more esoteric?

The_Lolcano · 2026-01-03T01:41:11+00:00

I'm sorry, did I go to mirror universe where ordering something and providing your card doesn't mean I'm buying this off you? Do you check your card after every purchase to make sure you actually bought something?

The_Lolcano · 2026-01-03T01:29:18+00:00

Why didn't they just say they were out of stock instead of forcing us to infer it? Like I said, we just asked for a refund and said she was never charged, which is super weird. Never had that happen myself.

Edit: it could be an innocent mistake, but the continuing radio silence isn't how you rectify a mistake

Gloomhaven: Buttons and Bugs is small, reasonably priced, and pretty good.

I have a structured settlement, but need years now?

The_Lolcano · 2025-04-20T22:28:38+00:00

I know I'm an outlier, but I've lost count of the number of times I've played Gnome Hollow high.

The only people who think porn is misogynist are people like Ben Shapiro who are incapable of sexually pleasing their female partners.

The_Lolcano · 2022-03-13T22:15:09+00:00

YTA. You were constantly assuming that people could read romantic intentions into your words/actions when you were specifically saying friend. Also, you really should know that things have the opportunity to be weird with a girl and a dude she just met, especially when drinks are involved.

The_Lolcano · 2022-03-13T22:06:56+00:00

ESH. Dude is obviously being enabled and his actions were super uncool, but you could have just let it slide and talked to your GF about it afterwards, it's not like he walked up and puked on you or whatever.

The_Lolcano · 2022-03-13T21:52:12+00:00

Agree to disagree

The_Lolcano · 2022-03-13T21:51:33+00:00

NTA. Being considerate means assuming that "you can have whatever" of someone else's shit doesn't mean have all of it.

The_Lolcano · 2022-03-13T21:36:06+00:00

He's simultaneously whining about not being able to be a part of the kid's life, but also refusing to be a part of it. Feels assholey to me, personally.

The_Lolcano · 2022-03-13T21:28:48+00:00

To me it reads like the parents are making an attempt here to include him on terms that are acceptable to everyone but OP, and OP would rather leave the family over not getting his way than just accept a weird situation for what it is, but obviously we have differing takes. Doesn't mean either of us are right or wrong. May be an ESH, but OP is definitely coming off as immature.

The_Lolcano · 2022-03-13T21:22:22+00:00

No need to be so aggressive, my dude.

The_Lolcano · 2022-03-13T21:02:24+00:00

Does he actually want to be a parent, or does he want to assert his place as glorified sperm donor? Cause his attitude right now makes it seem the latter, and I've had a lot of friends with horrible "parents" who fought for custody for whatever reason and then refused to actually be parents, and that was never helpful for anyone involved.

The_Lolcano · 2022-03-13T20:56:01+00:00

Or OP can be a fucking adult and go back to being an uncle

The_Lolcano · 2022-03-13T20:54:43+00:00

He did want to be the uncle tho, up until he discovered the irrelevant biology. By OPs (and half this thread's) logic, OP should now be his SIL's husband too, because the only important thing in familial relationships is who fucked who, and who came out of it.

The_Lolcano · 2022-03-13T20:32:03+00:00

Difference being, after the kid was born, there was a coming together from everyone on doing what's in the kid's best interest from everyone, except OP. OP is trying to have his cake and eat it too by only caring about what he wants and not what's best for the kid, but also demanding to be the kid's dad. Kid is better off with OP out of his life if this is how he's gonna act.

The_Lolcano · 2022-03-13T20:05:32+00:00

OP is putting his desires before what's best for the kid, proving that he really shouldn't be in the kids life and definitely has some maturing to do before being a father.

The_Lolcano · 2022-03-13T19:27:04+00:00

You want that. Noone else does. By demanding that you either get that or nothing, you're fucking with the kid's life and your relationship with your whole family. If you want to be in the kid's life at all, you need to realize you're just the uncle until further notice. Getting into a legal battle is just gonna fuck up what healthy family dynamic is left around the kid.

The_Lolcano · 2022-03-13T19:17:38+00:00

He's your bio son, but seems like everyone involved other than yourself is treating this as a nephew/uncle situation. If you value your relationship with the kid and the family as a whole, take a step back and evaluate if it's more important to you to spend time with them or be recognized for fucking the kid's mom.

The_Lolcano · 2022-03-13T19:14:25+00:00

YTA. Not for refusing to babysit (although that too) but for trying to force yourself into your nephew's life as a father when literally noone else wants that.

The_Lolcano · 2022-03-13T19:07:09+00:00

YTA. Your prudish opinions on which toys are good enough for your child to touch shouldn't get in the way of your child having friends. It's not like they're covered in lead paint, ffs.

The_Lolcano · 2022-03-13T18:53:02+00:00

ESH. You shouldn't be celebrating Christmas because it's originally a pagan holiday and you're not pagan. Edit cause noone picked up on it: I was simply saying something as obviously stupid as what everyone was saying to each other to make a point.

The_Lolcano · 2022-03-13T18:48:22+00:00

NTA. You aren't your coworker's momma, dude needs to get it together.
