For me it is the lack of youthful fitness. As a weeun I’d play games to rest. Nowadays I need rest if I play games. I’m lucky to complete a 2 hour session (and that will be with microbreaks).

Today I was just joined a group and the rogue got caught microbreaking to get their lunch ready. It wasn’t a big deal, we were clearing some greens in a dense area and the rogue was only gone a few seconds at a time. The cleric (who had called them out) had a real mard on about it though.

Right then I knew this group wasn’t for me and would be far too tiring. I quickly made my excuses “I can see your play style doesn't accommodate quick 30 second breaks - well I have to work on making lunch soon too. I don’t want to disrespect you by engaging in a behaviour you aren’t comfortable with, so I’m gonna drop. Thank you for the invite”.
