the guy at your table who only wants to play D&D
  • If he is in a group of like minded people, then all the power to them.

    We have played with people like this in the past, it can get really old really fast. We constantly had to remind them what to roll, what skills / feats / abilities they had, etc. Sometimes there would be a side bar for a character or two for a quick 15-20-minutes. After the PC(s) involved would finish their actions, the player not invested would add what they want to do and we would remind them that they didn't go. Same thing as above, they were not on their phone or having side conversations. They were just a backseat passenger in their own mind when it came to the game.

    We are far from a hardcore group. We regularly interrupt the session for other conversations, it is almost always parallel to a beer share so there is lots of distractions. Even then, the bare minimum for play is at least wanting to participate. The above post is the kind of play I need to do when hand holding my 5-year old along. They are just social loafing and want the "fun parts" (to them) to them at the rest of the tables expense.

  • 7 Days to Die is leaving Early Access
  • Lol, comments off on the youtube video...cowards.

    I have hundreds of hours into this game, but man did this dev team wear me down and out. The constant, huge game changing development is the reason this has taken over 10 years to get to this point. Someone needed a bit better of exploration in their direction when they started.

  • Mouse recommendations, anyone?
  • I love the design and feel, but it took me five defective products to finally get the one I have been using for a few years now. Also picked up the G910 keyboard, and this is the third one through warranty as well (which is also now starting to multi type on my 'E' and 'M' key presses).

    Logitech's quality has become very poor compared to the past, which is heavily disappointing.

  • In your own words and explanation, why are you a Garfield fan?

    I am not a fan at all. I have always viewed Garfield as something to fill some blank space in a newspaper which has somehow grown out of control. I am genuinely curious, however, what huge fans of Garfield see in it / get from the IP.

    Player : Foreskin is an emotional statement.

    I love that this sub exists now. I have started keeping track of notable sayings from our games for no reason, and now I have a reason.

  • The debate in the comment section is always the same when comparing generations, and the problem is people flip flopping. You cannot cite examples of general patterns for one part of your point, then anecdotal specific people's experience for the other. Pick one or the other, and sadly your anecdotal points are basically useless.

    I am sure you mom / dad / aunt / uncle / grandma / grandpa are all nice people who don't deserve the hardships they are going throw. The difference is that the younger generations are there as well, and they didn't even have the chance to "prepare" with savings, or a chance to vote, campaign, protest, strike or anything else related.

    I am almost 40, and I am dreading the day my kid questions me about "what did your generation do to help the future" and I have to say absolutely fucking nothing because they sat at home, feeding on crumbs tossed to us and had no backbone to stand up for them when they couldn't, myself included.
