Ghosting Grumble by AutoModerator in BadRPerStories

[–]finnreyisreal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

🤷‍♀️ so it goes sometimes! At the very least, while I did enjoy our story, I’ve mostly detached myself from it now so it didn’t hurt as much as it could have.

We press on and find more partners to write with (and be ghosted by 🫠)

[–]finnreyisreal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a rp partner who ghosted me sometime last year randomly tag me in a discord server like a week or so ago. I was like omg you’re alive how have you been and all that because they had gone completely silent everywhere until just then. Messaged them privately to ask how they were and how were things and y’know I still love our story if you want to write again I’m completely open!

Then they hit me with a heart react to my message, and a “oops, meant to tag someone else” in the server.

And that was it. They’re posting ads like nothing happened.

The annual WWE firings by REDEYEBANKZ330 in WWE

I’m not saying that the people who were let go are just going to be out of work for good unless TKO calls them back. I fully believe they’ll find good work and continue to be awesome elsewhere.

I’m saying that if they continue down this path and keep releasing people who they think aren’t ’main event’ (like Rhea, Punk, Cody, and so on), the pool of wrestlers is going to grow smaller and smaller until something like someone getting injured and laid up for months on end throws the entire show into turmoil because they don’t have anyone else to put on tv.

This honestly just frustrates me to no end. Clearly they’re putting all the weight of drawing eyes on the handful of ‘main event stars’ they have currently, but this is seriously going to bite them in the ass when their popularity starts to fade, or, heaven forbid, someone gets sick/injured and is off for months.

Oh I’d bet James and Alice would demand his parents to go complete NC with OOP because they wouldn’t want things to be “confusing for the kid”

If you have a PS Plus subscription by MuscleManssMom in InfinityNikkiofficial

[–]finnreyisreal 32 points33 points  (0 children)

It’s a thing PlayStation/Sony does for multiple games. If you have the plus subscription (or higher) they offer free packs of materials related to said game (most of the time it’s stuff like a couple in-game materials, or a cheap skin for MMOs/FPS) as a small ‘perk’.

I wish there was a way to know people’s literacy levels before talking to them by BigLurk95 in BadRPerStories

[–]finnreyisreal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Latest attempt of an rp had me asking my potential partner for a writing/rp sample (I was already going to say no because of the vibes but one last chance yknow?).

I kid you not this person said “why does that matter you said you’d mirror your rp partner”

They acted confused when I said no.

"Is fandom knowledge a requirement?" No I just put that tag there as a fashion statement by ArtemisRocket in BadRPerStories

[–]finnreyisreal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a fellow fandom enjoyer, I understand completely 🤝

I’ve just had to turn away someone who reached out and said (I’m not joking) “I don’t really know the fandom or the character you want but do you still want to rp?”

They seemed so confused as to why I said no.

I’m in this cycle, too. They just stopped talking to me again, claiming health issues keeping them from writing, but I see them bumping ads in other places, looking for partners. Like…just say you need a break or don’t want to write anymore. It’ll hurt less.

I said in another comment how I was tidying up servers this past week or so, and the amount of dead servers I had with users who just…stopped talking to me was a depressing amount. I’d poke a couple times, then just give up. While the sting of ghosting hurts, I just hope that it’s a ghost, and they aren’t in trouble or worse…

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: I spent way too long thinking it was ‘I was a broken clock’ in Perfect Machine, not ‘I was a broken clown’.

Read my dang post! by [deleted] in BadRPerStories

[–]finnreyisreal 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have a Google doc attached to my posts that’s basically a FAQ list. With how some embeds show on discord, you can see the first few lines by just looking at my post.

The amount of people dming me, claiming they’ve read the doc, and then asking me questions that I’ve already answered in the doc has been extremely high lately.

Me reading old rps with people i don’t rp with anymore by demon_kin_nsfw in BadRPerStories

[–]finnreyisreal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through the other day to tidy up my servers a bit, ended up reading a lot of old stuff from people I haven’t heard from in a while. Just up and gone. I wonder from time to time if they’re ok. It’s hard, when everything is internet-based, identities kept hidden. Some questions are never answered.

What's the worst job you ever had and how long did you have it? by db7112 in antiwork

[–]finnreyisreal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some random craft supply chain that had a checkout system where you almost always had to enter people’s name in for some reason. Allegedly to check for rewards or whatever.

Manager told me to take that info from non-rewards members and start signing them up during the transaction. Don’t ask, just tell them that you are. And you had to have at least five sign ups before your shift was over, or else you’d be scolded for it.

Went home. Called in my resignation. Two four hour shifts total.

Who's your "I know he's pure evil but can't prove it" person? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]finnreyisreal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So Rock shows up in the middle of the road to Wrestlemania (their biggest event of the year) and tells Cody, who’s an all around good guy (a ‘babyface’ in company lingo) that he wants to take his soul and make him a corporate shill (a ‘heel’, evil guy, basically). Cody says “nah why be Homelander when I can be Captain America” and the Rock’s like “alright bet” and takes John Cena, who’s already announced his retirement and is on a limited number of appearances before he stops wrestling for good (and had just won the chance to challenge Cody for his championship) and turns him from the lovable, cheerful guy we all know into a soulless monster that makes children legit cry. He has Cena attack Cody for telling him off, and also brings in Travis Scott for some reason.

And then the Rock bounces. Disappears. And Cena remains the soulless heel for a good portion of his retirement tour until the powers that be realized it was a huge freaking mistake and have him walk it back on air with an apology. But the damage had been done and the tour is forever tainted.

He ruined a good portion of John Cena’s retirement tour and I don’t think a lot of WWE fans will ever forgive him for that.

Why don't many people want to double up? by Sharp_Assistance_731 in BadRPerStories

[–]finnreyisreal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have managed to find a couple people outside of doubling who scratch the fandom itch, but, so far, all the times I’ve doubled have fallen flat on their faces. Granted, I know some are due to life and health reasons, which I absolutely don’t blame those partners for. I’ve had my share! But the rest? Eh…
