You do realize I didnt make up anything you said.

I said you were captain autismo and would call that out if I didn't point it out myself.

So now who's making up nonsense that I never said?

It's right there in the quote ... in the very post you're responding to:

*FUCK


THJ ( i have to clarify that because captain autismo's loramin would be like)

"well actually P99 does have the same number of users as p99 so check mate. "

You're at the very least implying that I somehow give a shit about the number of players on THJ, and that I would say something about it. But again, I don't give a shit, and have said nothing in this 32-page thread to indicate that I do.

due to reduced attention spans and smart phones DnD in person became more an exercise in restraining oneself to not reach over the table to strangle a mother fucker for going "huh, oh my turn? what's going on".

dude its a weekly struggle in my DnD group. Every Friday we play from 7pm - 11pm. Every Friday, like clockwork, between 1-3 party members are on their phones the entire time.

last week I had enough and kinda snapped at my friend because he was scrolling Instagram mid-session... while the DM was explaining the area we entered. its actually really depressing to see.

I definitely miss the days before cellphones when it comes to gaming. I had a 12-person group in college, and I was the only GM, so sometimes things took a lot longer than in a normal-sized game. If I ran it today, I'm sure (at least) 9 of the 12 would be on their phones.

But back then people chatted, ate, knitted, painted (minis), etc. If the socializing distracted someone too much when their turn came around, the more active players would just remind them what's going on ("you need to kill that gnoll next to you") and play would continue with barely any delay.

It was chaotic, but I have so many happy memories of that chaos [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] It's a little sad to think most modern tables will never experience it.

I was making a joke, that you would notice that I typed "P99 has the same number of users as P99" and then accuse me of being wrong, because there are indeed the same number of users on P99, as there is on P99.

And I was ribbing you, because you are the kind of person to call me out for stuff that doesn't have anything to do with the point of my argument. And it wasa just a fucking joke, captain-A so please.

Idk if im allowed to respond to your posts ITT anymore, you have to ask CD (who is also not allowed to respond to posts ITT unless they are not related to one specific topic? Can we get a ruling on what i can or can't post, ooh great and holy high and mighty CD?)

I have a hard time not fast forwarding love scenes in action movies and idk if that's because love scenes shouldn't be in action movies, or ibecause youtube has rotted my attention span.

(CD am I allowed to respond to this?)

/shrug I think it would have been a funnier joke if it had actually been about something I cared about, or about a person who did actually care about this population thing (which I refuse to read back through the past posts to even understand, because again ... I don't give a shit).

Thanks for asking shovel. I think that since the content of your replies aren't about THJ but simply arguing with Loramin in general, it's allowable

it was meant specifically to be about someone who didn't care about those things pointing out and starting an argument about something totally irrelevant to the point.
