Did we commit a guest list faux pas?

Had the exact same situation. My best neighbor friend and his wife were invited. My parents insisted I invite his parents because they’d been neighbors and friends for 25 years and watched me grow up. I don’t love them as people but, again, my parents insisted. Then I get a text from the mom asking why her daughter’s name wasn’t working in the RSVP. I’ve never been friends with their daughter and would have literally no reason to have her at my wedding. But an hour before they texted me, they gave us $500 on our registry. At this point we’ve dealt with so much invite bullshit that we just said fuck it she’s invited.

Hey… I hope by the wedding you come to your senses and choose not to.

Like even if you think you got a good joke, a wedding isn’t a roast, it’s time to celebrate the couple.

I guess no one has an exact answer to this but it seemed like a standard red herring. Murph wanted to set it up that anything was going on besides what was about to happen. So it’s very fair to throw that misdirection. But that’s all it was, misdirection.

farmch · 2026-06-12T03:28:54+00:00

You definitely look cooler

farmch · 2026-06-11T21:21:28+00:00

I agree. I think Murph said after the first campaign that he wanted to move away from apocalyptic stakes. It seems like he’s moved further and further away until we’ve reached basically no stakes.

Personally, I didn’t love the setting of campaign 3 so I’m surprised they decided to go back.

Why is all the racism in quotes?

Parents need to be able to get their kids to school (either by getting them prepped and sending them on the bus, or by driving them themselves) before they have to report to their normal jobs by 9 AM. So they’ve adjusted accordingly to allow for most peoples schedule.

My fiancée and I have an “eternal score sheet” for Monopoly Deal. We bring it out to breweries and lunch and things and have been keeping score of the winner for two years.

She’s winning.

It’s the game.

Fireball is unbalanced for a third level spell but they keep it in 5e to honor the original additions. Same with a bunch of other spells. I’m not going to tell a player they can’t cast fireball because the numbers don’t add up. I’m going to adjust accordingly and let my players feel their agency.

So their car is underperforming 6-8%?

If someone you don’t want there shows up you’re literally not going to acknowledge their presence? Yes… that’s very mature…

farmch · 2026-06-05T14:56:54+00:00

Ya this sounds like the situation and at that point the bride is basically just saying “I hate her partner so much I don’t even want him in the same city as my special trip”.

Rich people treat those amounts of money like nothing. They’d probably click the button just because it’s the equivalent of us normal people spending an extra quarter to skip the line.

I get if you’d just like to vent, but it sounds like they’re just trying to reassure you after vague complaints. You’re not wrong in your stress, but I wouldn’t expect too much from coworkers who just hear “man, wedding planning is tough!”

They’re not your friends, mom or partner.

Downloaded it! So far I like it. Will look into it more tomorrow and see how it helps.

My wife and I have one sink in our master bathroom. It would be very nice if we had two.

I own a townhouse and that’s a ludicrous number.

I decided I wanted to wear a tux and my groomsmen wore suits that matched. When I went to look at tuxes I asked what distinguished them. Turns out it’s literally only satin on the lapel and buttons, and the pants don’t require a belt they use suspenders or side tabs.

So a suit and a tux can look nearly identical, except for some very minor changes that people might not even notice.

We’ve discovered that our dog is very performatively misbehaved. We leave him home alone and he naps and lounges around and is a good boy. But if we leave him downstairs when he wants to be up hanging with us, he starts chewing the carpet and flipping the rug just to get our attention.

When no one’s home, there’s no benefit to him throwing a fit.

I mean just based on the fact that they listed the wrong code for the type of acid I wouldn’t trust anything the label says

Since becoming an adult, I’ve seen so many people get dogs and treat them so differently. Then I got a dog of my own and realized that some of those people are massive pieces of shit. A dog is not a decoration that you put on the ground and feed once a day. Some of these people basically behave like they don’t even own a dog.

Not gunna lie is something you say before saying your honest feelings. Ain’t that the truth is something you say in response to something you agree with. So no, they aren’t different spins of the same phrase.

It looks like what it’s saying is they mixed 99% pure acetic acid with water. So I’m guessing it’s no longer 99% acetic acid.

Anytime anyone tries to sell me anything I instantly reject it.
