I have nothing useful to contribute, but holy crap I wish I had the household to do this because I’d love to try it.
But if I tried this, either the teenager or the old man (well, other old man) would fiddle with it every time they opened the fridge and I suspect that would interfere with the process.
You sound like me!
We have a household rule: don’t talk to south until he’s awake. How can you tell he’s awake? Has he been moving for at least an hour? If yes, then he may be awake, but there’s no promises. If not, then treat him like you would a manbearpig freshly out of hibernation.
The grunts and croaks that pass as communication from me that first bit are a passable caveman shtick.
No worries man, we all have days like that. I certainly do!
I’m the same way with food snobbery tbh. I see even jokes about it, and it just gets under my skin, even when I am fully awake and can tell it’s a joke. There’s that flash of “this motherfucker” before I exert control of my brain. So I totally get it.
I’m just sorry I picked a bad joke to try. Like I said, they can’t all be winners, but looking back at it, it was a lame attempt.
Hey, sorry that didn’t hit right.
Since the post was in a meme community, I didn’t take the post as a serious complaint. Memes bring out jokes, that’s part of the point of them. I intended it as a form of commiseration with a bit of tongue in cheek playfulness. If I’d known you were making a real complaint rather than playing with a trope for laughs, I would have made a totally different comment.
So, here’s what I would have said if I had known you were experiencing distress over the issue.
I get it. Back when 3.x was a thing, the old ad&d diehards made the same kind of statements. Now, 5e devotees make the same kind of statements about 3.x, and even ad&d, as well as the ongoing new version coming out. It’s a fairly universal thing.
When it’s said in a lighthearted, unserious way, it can even help bridge players and DMs that are more entrenched with one version or another because it acknowledges that there’s not always compatibility between versions, making play groups harder to arrange since very few people really enjoy learning a new system to play what is (at its core) the same game.
Me and my kid make the same joke to each other, both of us aware that we have played both systems and have a different preference. Me and the DM of my kid’s group talk shit about our preferred versions too. And we piss and moan about the difficulties of running games with players that are most familiar with one edition and having trouble adapting years of play experience in one to a different one.
Like, I’ve got over a grand in 3.x books. At least that, maybe more, I lost track. So I’m not going to pony up a dime to get the equivalent library in 5e, or any future editions. But I’ve had players from 5e, and ad&d in my games (though I haven’t DMed in years at this point). There’s always a learning curve to a different edition. It places an artificial barrier of entry to the underlying game. So most people will commit to one version and stick with it.
When they do try others, what they see is changes that are a pain in the ass for fairly minor benefits, along with one or two great ideas. Us 3.x folks look at bounded accuracy, or advantage/disadvantage and drool a little, but there’s no way we’d switch just for that when the rest of the edition is just different, not better. 5e folks look at the 3.x prestige classes and how easy they are to home brew and really make a unique character but look at all the imbalances in the base classes and nope the fuck out
And don’t even ask about how newer players stare blankly at you while you try to explain thac0. Or how a black hole of despair forms and sucks your brain in trying to explain a truly awkward and counterintuitive system like thac0 in the first place.
There’s no such thing as a perfect system. They’re all approximations of fantasy settings (I’m talking about standard d&d here, but there’s no perfect system in other types of games either), and approximations simply can’t fit every situation every time.
So, when some asshole is being serious about “your edition sucks, play a better one”, fuck them. It’s bullshit, and if they don’t know it, they’re going to be a shitty player or DM anyway. They’re not worth the time and effort. But the rest of us kinda have the shorthand of the trope as a way to say “the problem exists, but we can’t fix it”. You either put the effort in to learn the details of each edition, or you stick to the one you like best and deal with having more trouble finding stable groups.
No bullshit Stamets, my entire goal was to join in on what I thought was your joke along that same line. I thought you were poking fun at the trope of it, and that’s what I was doing. The little winky face 
didn’t do enough to convey that, or maybe your stress over the subject meant nothing would have conveyed the intent of shared recognition of how silly it all is to edition snob. But it definitely failed to convey the intent, no matter why it failed.
Sorry about that. They can’t all be winners ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but I swear it was meant to be something we’d both have a chuckle over.
I mean, that’s true.
5e sucks and you should play a different system
Honestly, dishwasher safe makes your request essentially impossible. None of the options for that are without their own issues. Composite materials are all built using some form or another of adhesive, and those have the same issues as plastic when it comes to swallowing things that aren’t food.
So you’ve got to pick between light materials like plastic and composites you can shove in a dishwasher, or a wood that’s heavier, but only needs quick washing by hand.
So far, nobody has come up with a solution that’s perfect, though wood products constructed with normal wood glues come pretty close in every respect but weight. Even there, while a decent sized wood board is going to be heavy and awkward to wash, at least it isn’t going to slide around.
I’ll repeat, you’d think that a role play community would err on the side of fun.
Apparently fucking not
Apparently, they read the first part, make a snap judgment and ignore the rest, including the ending that makes it a coherent piece.
You know, you’d think that an role playing community would have a sense of fun.
Nope, accents are fun, and I am not giving them up unless I just don’t feel like doing them.
For one thing, I worked hard at some of them.
For another, combining different accents with different vocal techniques and tones of voice give you a wider range of options. Even as a player that’s a good thing. As a DM, it’s even gooder.
And, again, fun. It is mind fuckingly awesome to run a table where three players are arguing with an entire room of people they have stolen from, and the players can tell who is calling their mother the town mule because every one of the NPCs is distinct. That shit is fucking hype.
It is also going to require a day to recover while sipping soothing beverages.
That’s my concern too. People jumping or trying to push into using it before the possible consequences are fully known.
It’s pretty cheap already. Metformin. One of the least expensive options for diabetes
I think you misread their comment.
Is doctor girlfriend okay?
