I can't mentally relate to a regular 40 year old in any shape or form. People who already have 20 year careers or are even CEO's. While I still replay old SNES games on emulators and work a basic job while taking care of an elderly parent who needs assistance for almost everything.

I'm an early 20s zoomer. When I was 13 I felt like I was entering adulthood, at 14 like I was trying to become a proper adult and when I failed, I felt like I was leaving this life and becoming an elder at 15. Now… I have no sense of self or time. I am incapable of relating to anyone in any generation. Everyone's all the same.

my plan is to kill myself before that.

Have you seen people slowly withering away when old? Some elderly people get so weak and sick they become bedridden for years, or have dementia or Alzheimer and need constant caretakers. There is no dignity on that. Is already fucked up enough for people who have loving families, now imagine getting to that state when you are alone, or being throw away in some poor nursing home. We should normalize getting assisted suicide after a certain point.

On top of that, I have nothing to look forward right now anyway.

It kinda sucks knowing that people hate you, wherever i go i am met with this endless negativity that i am just supposed to ignore. Even when i try to be friendly and polite i still somehow find a way to fuck up and make people hate my guts. I am sick of it to be honest, sick of fuckinh everything.

I like the idea of a normie camouflage. I also agree not changing for their approval but I do want to be written off the hit list. I just don't want to be attacked and harassed and I'm willing to make certain changes to ensure that. All within reason. I remember in my 20s when I had to walk everywhere I had to act a little off putting around the ghetto types to get them to leave me alone. I'd scratch myself a lot, sniff loudly, and scream every 2 minutes or so lol. They wrote me off as not worth interacting with. If I acted "normal" it's just constants bombardments of "got a dollar bro?" or other variants.

Normies thinking that you are harmless is the best excuse you can give them to harass you, if there's an inbred somalian dancing naked on the subway no one will open his mouth but if a short white guy doesn't want to give his seat to a succubus they'll verbally murder you.

Normies are some of the most narcissistic, hypocritical, and cowardly individuals ever to walk the earth. They radiate nothing but contempt for every living being around them except themselves. It makes me physically sick being around them and I have no problem rejecting whatever hypocritical sob story they have to say to get their way. I feel approximately 0 remorse when I see them get murdered in gore sites. Infact its emotionally fulfilling.

The poster above is correct, neurotypicals only listen to force and size. The worst thing you can do among them is to present as harmless and timid. They will abuse and ruin you to oblivion especially in the United States.

What you need to do as a wizard is what I did which is ordering trenbolone and testosterone propionate and hit the gym.
Then if people give you shit or push you around you push them back or tell them to fuck off in public.

You can't make them back off and feel humiliated if you're small and polite. As a social self defense tool you need to have the OPTION of credibly telling a narcissistic normie to fuck off under the threat of violence.

That doesn't mean you can't be civil, reasonable and kind when that's your baseline personality. You just need to have size and a yolo attitude in your tool arsenal if shit hits the fan.
The odds of shit hitting the fan decrease radically either way when narcissistic normies no longer see you as an easy target. They begrudgingly skip you.

I have a horrible mother who criticises me just as much when I do something good as when I do something wrong. I remember having a lot of traumatic experiences with her, and even today she’s still the same. For example, I started being more hygienic and washing my hands before eating, and she started using that habit as a weapon against me. She also criticises me for not going out with my ‘friends’, but when I do leave the house, she keeps insulting me Any advice on how to get free from her? makes me unhappy

The day of Armageddon has inched towards me in just 2 hours. I completed a worthless degree in IT, by completed, I mean gave the final exams of the final semester just 2 hours ago, and I returned home, which is in a third world country. And the results are as I expected, as a matter of fact, when I came back I could literally feel the tension inside my house mounting.

I was expecting one day or another, for this to happen but it's surreal how quickly it has happened, my parents had a massively heated argument with me, and honestly, it took me a few years back when my parents used to abuse the hell out of me, I can for some reason, literally feel the terror of abuse in the lower half of my spine and in my kidneys.

The question is obvious, which is what will I do next? Because I am about to graduate completely unemployed, in this little third world country, and of course the parents aren't happy, as it is in the nature of everyone maybe mine as well to be pissed seeing a man wake up at 9AM and ask for breakfast, and take it back to the Air Conditioned room, the resentment is off the charts for obvious reason of what my parents would consider "stealing" from them because I am not paying back in any meaningful labour, seems like I will have to wake up at 6AM in the morning tomorrow and not use Air Conditioner at all.

It was honestly, a massive argument, I just few hours ago got back to my house from a scorching 42C temperature and now I am being cooked internally. At this point, I have started to prepare for the worst, any day in "my" house could be my last, I am trying to gather all the IDs, gather all the documents for eventual kick, and a kick in a country like this is extremely close to death. Certainly slightly different from other countries where you can live in your car, given that in this country the car ownership rate is 8%. So there goes living in a Honda Fit out of the Window.

I must get a job, I have tried getting a job online, from microtasks, to annotation for OneForma, to trying to act like an agent for PornStars online, to chat on their behalf, and I have earned no more and no less than 0 in any currency of this planet. The jig is coming to an end. While I am not familiar with the thoughts of life in the Christian Theology because I wasn't born in a Christian Family, but my Judgement, rather Execution is near.

>This is where I will disagree with you, Britain, as much as I respect the country and it's people, they are not the kind of country to give away a single sterling in charity.

You could be correct on this part. I have read a little on the British Raj but not too much, and most of the sources I have are right wing Austrian economics perspectives and /pol/tard chuddery. The idea mainly being the opportunity cost for the British and that the money spent on colonialism could've been invested elsewhere and generated a similar or better return. Although for what it's worth I think colonialism in India was a massive mistake either way, and I wish the British were never involved there.

But even many of the academics that are critical of the marxist claims that colonial Europe looted the third world carve out a slight exception for India. Many of the more mainstream books I've read on the 19th century second wave of European colonialism talk about how India was strangely an exception to the moneysink thesis. The book "Oxford University's Short History of the 19th century" (pic related) had an assortment of academics all saying "yeah the British Raj was profitable, a few east indies territories were profitable, the rest really weren't". Africa absolutely was a moneysink and there's so many cabinet meetings government officials in Germany and France held talking about it. The German government wanted their own version of the East India company for Africa, so they could offload the colonies onto them, but no private investor was willing to get involved.

>Damn, that surprises me a lot, I know a few of them, and almost all of them detest India.

I can't mindread but I guess they just have a diaspora identity and feel they don't belong. Maybe it's their way of pushing back against or coping with the increasing racism and they don't really believe it? And I don't know man, people genuinely get along better than you read online. I'm an older guy that went to school when there was just one token pakistani guy and one token sikh succubus, and now it's like 15% of my city is indian. If there's a group of four or five teens doing something after school downtown, it's common for an indian to be in the group.

I there's one thing that unites wizards here, I only used to read about relationships when I used to be an angry and rageful person back then who just discovered blackpill and terms like involuntary celibate but at this point, I think most of us are trying to accept or working towards living with our fate. Hopefully, though I hope Indians don't cause you much trouble but hey, I have lived in India since birth I know how truly horrendous the people from this country are, and I guess it was a mistake for Western Countries to accept so many immigrants from India, although still baffles me cause I thought it was very hard to immigrate.

Fast fact.
There is "industrial grade equipment" that has its electronic components to be programmed. I don't know if you can code in UART or Ladder or have experience making flowcharts as part of visual programming, but here's the thing. Look for industrial stuff to programm. No StackOverflow, no neuroslop, it's supposed to behave flawlessly so they aren't going to let LLMs in *that* easy.

That's where your real degree in computers - once combined with your wizardry - comes in handy: you get trusted with "real" equipment and not some CSS/PHP/Java/'script let alone the non-language. Besides, industrial shit isnt prone to massive anti-hacker updates, unlike, say, Chrome.


Cheers and take it easy.

Thank you, wizard-brother I will try low level machine logic. I have to say I have had no luck so far and each passing day, the behaviour of my parents get worse and worse.

you could try learning a new language and see if that takes you somewhere, you might also want to look for unskilled job in a developed nation and then try to get something as a programmer once you're there. Japan has the Specified Skill Worker program for poor Asian countries, you could take one of their exams in India to get hired, I've heard the working conditions aren't great though but definitely better than anything you might get in your country.

Does anyone here know any good virgin-only forums? Or a forum with a significant virgin population? Or maybe a forum that discusses widespread societal depravity in a very negative light?

I'm guessing the answer will be 'no'. Don't you think that's strange? I never believed just because something is common, that it's 'natural' or 'acceptable.' Child rape was common, it was practiced for most of human history, that's not acceptable. Yet betrayal, prostitution and temporary 'relationships' (same thing as prostitution) are? We are always at the recieving end of mockery, and them always rewarded with praise. Why? What did we do to deserve being mocked and belittled?

Does anyone else here feel this way? Or am I the only one? How do I reach likeminded people? How do I communicate with people who share my values? Where do I find them?

These days I just feel like we're being erased, or rather… we have always been erased. Am I a crab for taking these things seriously and refusing to submit to the same depravity as others?

Just about every place "caters to virgins", in that it's incredibly rare for there to be a place that explicitly disparages virgins. When it comes to whether or not you've FUCKED or SUCKED, 99% of netgoers simply don't care. People using 'virgin' as an insult should really only do anything but make you laugh if you're pset to be reminded that you're a virgin.

Wish I had real goals too.
I relate a lot to the randomness, feeling like I'm an edge case a lot of times.

I genuinely feel like I'm an NPC in a game world at times with broken RNG. It's usually something negative, absurdly unlucky and it stacks up to "unrealistic" stories people think I make up.

Like telling a doctors about having physical pains, limping and this whole thing somehow leading me to a psych ward before they ever bother to acknowledge the physical deformity/damage, only after paying for imaging out of pocket do they finally believe me, and EVEN AFTER THAT they still push the mental shit instead every time some new shit pops up. This is basically every doctor I've met in recent memory for no discernible reason. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLrnkK2YEcE

It happens in positive ways too. Like I'm on the brink of exiting life and all of a sudden I'm given a job far beyond my abilities and tolerated for years despite my many shortcomings and failures in a comfy position that I couldn't ever imagine replicating.

Critical failures absurdly disproportionate to whatever was the cause was and miraculous outcomes and rewards/results disproportionate to the effort put in.
Overall it's negative, but then great things happen just in time to keep me going….
Needless to say I've been embracing determinism as a result, but the absurdity of the experience makes it hard to believe it is strictly determined and not some random outsider having a grand old time messing with me like I used to with insects in a sandbox as a kid.

Makes me wonder how real most people are, or if I'm actually clinically insane and they just hear other words come out of my mouth than I attempt to say.
Then again sometimes the weird unprompted absurdly unrelated NPC like rants from people can be interrupted and somehow they snap back to sanity and give way to what I want. It's very odd.
Wish I was as coherent as some wizards here instead of rambling, but I hope the message is clear enough.

Most are not real. Covid should have proved this to you. And what do I mean by “real”? Having intelligence enough to think independently of others.
And you are not clinically insane. No man authentically mad would ever be discovered self-aware of his own madness.

>I genuinely feel like I'm an NPC in a game world at times with broken RNG.

You’re just smart and very self-aware in a world in which apparently nearly all are not. Any sufficiently caring and self-reflective human will fall into the belief that he’s beset by soulless people wandering through outwardly random environments as an isolated observer. The ancient gnostics even had a term for this and that term is ἀλλογενής, meaning literally “of a different kind”, but translated as “stranger”. Those who have thoughts like those contained in your post really are ἀλλογεναι (strangers) in a difficult world that is not native to the quality of their souls.

>This is basically every doctor I've met in recent memory for no discernible reason.

I can fairly say: me too! Except I disagree with >for no discernible reason. The reason is quite plain: doctors are indoctrinated; not only “intellectually”, that is in how they understand and treat diseases, but also “personally”, in how they hold the most of their patients in contempt as less than themselves. Doctors (95% of the time) are dangerous prideful psychopaths who look down on their patients while having very little actual curative medical knowledge. You should have known this by your age (presuming here that you are 30+). If I can flatter myself, I already knew to be careful around doctors (that they do not make good decisions and are often uncaring toward sufferers) by the time I was in my early 20s.

>Critical failures absurdly disproportionate to whatever was the cause was and miraculous outcomes and rewards/results disproportionate to the effort put in.

Has anything you've ever played, watched, listened to, or read ever truly changed your life? No matter how much I experience nothing changes. I used to walk 2 hours a day and I never felt any better mentally than I do now as a neet who never goes outside. My baseline mental state seems impossible to break out of.

Truly changed my life? Not really. But the closest I guess would be reading a visual novel where they had an acting club and realizing that I really want to get into acting. I think it might be my calling in life to bring characters to life through acting. It feels like it would be one of the few things that would fill me with purpose and meaning. But guess what, I've done absolutely nothing with that realization. Never tried to find an acting group or practice anything or try to write my own characters or anything. I am so miserably depressed that even something that seems very fulfilling is hard to motivate myself for.

Watching videos of this guy Daniel Schmachtenberger talk about the 'metacrisis', the confluence of various catastrophic risks cascading into complete collapse. Well, maybe not life changing but they've had an impact. Hearing him connect the dots between things I had known about but thought were disparate was sort of eye opening. And the realization of just how fucked humanity is, how there is no breaking out of the downward spiral we are on (even if he insists there is hope to be had).
It changed my life in the sense that I am now much more acutely aware of the absurdity of my every day life. Just seeing all these people go about their routines as if any of it truly matters, pursuing various worthless goals instead of trying to appreciate the last decade of material safety and abundance our species will ever experience. I feel much more justified in taking it easy and not struggling knowing how it will certainly all end soon.

Yes, I watched The Rite Of Spring by Stravinsky performed live when I was 15 and it deeply changed me.

I don't believe media ever really changes anybody's life. People who feel lost or stuck searching for something to inspire them to change is pretty common, but it doesn't work like that. You're not going to change by just finding the right thing to passively consume, you have to actively initiate it yourself. Searching for inspiration is just a way to pass off responsibility and not do anything.

From what I've read most of the darknet or darkweb or wtf is just dead sites, with occasional illegal things here and there.

Hey wizards,

Two other wizzas and I will be reading The Pastel City, a science fantasy novel by M. John Harrison, originally published in 1971.

We'll be following a schedule of one chapter per day. The chapters are about 10 pages long on average. After each day's reading, we'll come here and talk about it. I'll be posting a short daily commentary to help kick off the discussion, along with updates on our progress through the schedule. Of course, you're under no obligation to post anything if you don't want to.

We'll start on Thursday, July 2, so in just a couple of days. Check out the blurb for the novel:

A decaying world. Ancient powers long forgotten. An old warrior with one last battle to fight. The Pastel City is a mesmerizing journey through the ruins of a far-future civilization, where the remnants of lost knowledge mingle with myth and legend. Atmospheric, inventive, and unforgettable, it is a classic of science fantasy.

Finally some more action! But I have a confession to make guys … I already read ahead and I'm at chapter 9 now. So I'm a little cautious of discussing because I'm not sure what went on in which chapter specifically and I don't want to spoil. The three eyed freak was cool but I really don't understand why Chromis didn't alert the rest of the camp and went to chase it alone. I mean it could've just as well been a scout and his sleeping companions might have gotten attacked in his abscence, completely defenseless. Nice that we got to see the Baan in action, too.

>but the descriptions of nature, landscapes, and objects are where the charm of the story lies.
True though being the OCD reader I have to google every word I don't know as I read and even get into info-gathering rabbitholes, and there were a lot of new words here. Learnt weird ways to describe colors and what some geographical formations are called. Last chapter I even learnt that glaciers move and can erode the soils beneath it.

I thought the baan that killed Cromis sister would make an appearance in some critical fight scene but he lost it here fighting an unknown monster that popped out of nowhere and almost losing. What's most surprising is he lost his nameless sword too. That's two important plot items used up in one scene. We are speedrunning Cromis getting his hero sword upgrade I think. Could have used the Chekhov's baan in a more satisfying fight.

Chapter 05

'"No," said Tomb, "we aren't too far behind them." He displayed his repugnant teeth. "I'd have been up with Waterbeck and his well-disciplined babes by now, but I wanted to get that power-armour in good order."

Hah, there you go. Here we have a dwarf clad in power armor, running around with a battle axe firmly clasped within its mechanical gauntlet, shouting he'll slice somebody's 'onions'. Sure, you might think this is nothing new, but that's because we're in 2026 and you have played the shit out of games like Fallout.

But remember, this is where Fallout got the idea from! And by the way, here we have a dwarf in a massive, eleven feet tall power armor, not some puny human wastelander in an overdone bucket, so if you ask me, The Pastel City is STILL looking cooler than Fallout, even though it was published 26 years earlier!

What else can I say about this chapter? There's a dwarf in power armor about to chop somebody's balls off. Was this a good choice for the wiz book club or what?

>>70819
The plot thickens.

>>70820
Sad to see you dropping the novel wiz, try to read this chapter and the next on your own pace, there's a dwarf in power armor in this one and the next chapter I'm sure there's going to be a huge battle.

>>70821
That's really nice actually, you got invested. I suppose that's the whole point of a book club is finding books that you enjoy and want to read. I think that encounter between Cromis and the cyborg/android was very fast and it just took a few seconds, but yeah, I think he could've shouted here and there to alert the rest of the team.

So we meet the dwarf and he fixes up our dear nameless sword, how nice. Seems like we are going to need it very soon too as the Northerners are here already… hopefully the Methven and the army can fight them off. The dwarf in power armor alone should give them quite an edge.

 No.70831

>>70829
Ahh a classic trope. The self-important noble who cares more about his own ego than the fate of the country, rudely dismissing of the heroes just cause. A character that solely exist to incite anger from the readers and provide catharsis when we witness his downfall. The dwarf is not much of a dwarf now. We'll see the first big battle scene soon.

I might have dementia, early-onset. Due to the neet lifestyle, it is hard to realize it's happening but lately my executive function has been worse than ever. I don't know if you can call it "adhd" but I really cannot fucking do anything without distracting myself merely seconds after, keep forgetting I left the stove on, missing my keys. And lately I've been having several instances of failing to remember what day of the week we're in. I also cannot quite recognize, or well I do but it feels like novelty, the places I'm regularly in like my house or town. It doesn't exactly feel new, but it doesn't feel familiar either. Related to that, anyone knows if feeling the world around you becoming smaller is a good or bad sign?

I know I've had some probably autoimmune shit or clotting problem going on for a while, the right sid eof my head has a headache that comes and goes, but it's always the right side alongside tinnitus. I have ringing in both ears but it's much more marked on the right side. To top it all, my blood pressure readings are 170 on the right arm, 135 on the left one. I googled what that meant and to nobodys surprise it might mean advanced vascular disease.

So yeah, I might not be around for much longer. Not much remains from the person I once was, not that long ago I was enraged and murderous at my own family for a long list of wrongings that ultimately culminated with what I'm experienced right now, completely alone and abandonded and broke and very sick. But what can you do when you live in a shithole with no hope of improvement, no skills, no connections and barely and will to not jump from the nearest bridge? I tried to ignore and bury it all, but when things are dire and you cannot fucking tell what day of the week it is or if you already and what you had for breakfast, your priorities kind of change again and escapism stops being an option, not because you don't want to but because you literally cannot.

What would you do, wizzy? Take revenge on people who might also be on deaths doorstep anyway, lmao? Try to "improve" whatever is left from your life? Just wait and rot?

I think suicide is the true answer to all life problems, merely because if you don't exist you don't feel anything, it's not like you suffer the lack of something. Realizing this truth, you should work on finding the most reliable and painless method available to you, then go on living enjoying what you can enjoy until things get unbearable knowing you have a method out. I wouldn't focus on health or working, we're going to lose this body anyway one day and wageslaving for someone wouldn't solve your lack of wellness. I would focus on skills and connections instead for the purpose of planning the latest years on this earth as comfortable as possible. An useful skill which you can always acquire is to learn how to fake medical papers.

Would they? I've been thinking.

My mom is already LDAR'ing due to the debt and she's already lost one child, so I think either by suicide or stress she would die. My dad? He didn't seem to care that much when my stepbro died, but I am his firstborn. I don't know really. My little brother would probably just turn into me. That's my only concern. Everyone else, would cry for a day maybe.

Some might. My brother certainly would and I would feel terrible for leaving him with that. My dad has enough problems already with aging and constant aches and pains. We've always got on alright and he's always tried to help me, ineffectual though it was, my suicide would probably leave him catatonically depressed as he'd think he failed me. In some sense he did, but that was more a team effort; my mom would care but I wouldn't care that she did.

I would like to think my colleagues would care. I work in a place that's understanding of mental health issues and they know I'm a bit peculiar. I wouldn't mind becoming some tragic character in their life-story, though they'd probably move on quick: "He was a nice enough guy, that's sad." They're the only people I actually see in real life besides immediate family so I've naively grown quite attached to them. I expect the feeling isn't mutual. They have their lives, I don't have mine.

Besides that, a handful of online friends would be concerned if I went offline permanently. Though if I ever kill myself I think it'd be fun to create an autobiographical website type suicide note, which I'd probably send to them, or leave somewhere online.

 No.308962

Nobody would care if I killed myself, everyone treated me like a joke, people in public and my family, I move a lot and because of that I have no friends, I’m so lonely that sometimes I feel like I’m going insane, I’m a neet and I hate it, I serve 0 purpose in life, I’m so Lonely, maybe life would be better after, ide like to imagine that after death it’s calm and warm with a nice breeze and you wouldn’t be trapped in a body, all succubi are sexist bitches, I’ve been treated horribly by succubi they’ve lied to me and have been fake to me, my family would be relieved if I’m gone, I have no energy to do anything I can’t even properly take care of myself, they’ll just see it as more room in the house once I’m gone, my sister would be happy and my parents would be happy but pretend to be sad, someone please help me

I could download from SoulSeek but files there had episode titles in the name. Now I know about spoilers to two series that way. They were in alphabetical order too (e.g., 1, 10, 11, 2, 3). Should be 01, … 10 or 001, … 010, … 100, etc. Depending on the number of episodes to avoid disorder that can also lead to potential spoilers.

I could've write to change it for other users there but they could respond with spoilers as an attack against me. Also the more anonymity without any repercussions, the worser the behaviour. In the end, I was proven right in another case there. I could've make a video to warn others in general about spoilers problem, but giving more attention would mean more popularity and then more troubles for P2Ps like how once a pirate streaming anime site gets too popular, it gets shut down. And other alternatives may have worse functionality or you have to waste more time to find what fits you. Let alone the fact that nobody would watch the video and I would waste time to figure out how to do it on the necessary level with artificial voice, video imagery, necessary tags. Certain gatekeeping may help in this fight for access to information.

Torrents for single episodes with hardsubs were dead. Torrents for the whole title were not with hardsubs. Some subs don't reduce in size after decreasing the frame, others are not visible in the screenshots despite all the settings changed in the player as needed, others have translated signs hanging in the air as in full screen despite the frame being decreased and moved up and to the left. Their location don't change and sometimes it's even hard to notice that it's actually exist. And for one dubbed series (historical exception, I watch mostly with subs), I found a substitute on one site, but the damage had already been done.

And some available torrents were too big in file size. My old laptop could have problems with playing it. Although that also depends on the content and codec. But then screenshots would also weigh much more. And I would have to use my 1 Tb external drive and that would be troublesome as my USB works for gadgets, mouse and keyboard, but not for transferring data through external drives. That would mean uploading files to the cloud, going to my father's PC, downloading it from the cloud and then adding it to the ePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Silverstone GP yesterday with it's high speed corners and straights immediately showed how bad the battery situation is. Hamilton slowed to a crawl and lost his position to Antonelli on the Sprint and the GP. Later, Max went into the wall from a rear wing issue which gave him massive understeer. Whatever difference the regulations changes made seems marginal to me.

I'd like to see the cars relying more on the engines than the ERS. Not just because they'd sound cooler. I feel that it would allow for cleaner racing & less back and forth positions due to ERS deployment. And I think most drivers would agree with this.

>If you oppose the government or don't have a partner or children, you are arrested and declared a social outcast and a good-for-nothing
>In this process, a digital credit system begins to be used, in which there are the married, those with children, and the outcasts.

>Outcasts can reintegrate into society under certain conditions regarding work, children, and family—if they meet those conditions.

>Made Barovians "Diverse"
>Made Strahd's conquering of the land sound tyrannical as fuck and less just
>Made it so that Some have Barovians have souls and some don't because of 5e's ravenloft being in a private demiplane, stopping newborn bodies from getting souls, in a piss-poor attempt to mimick the Old demiplanes of dread thing where some residents are literally just NPCs made by the powers, even though this makes no sense to anyone who's had to deal with Gulthias in 3.5 and Ashradorn in the whole Soul font thing with the ban on unborn souls in lore, so these people should be getting souls, because otherwise the demiplane would have to deny all positive energy for this shit to even remotely work
>All done because they're too lazy to redo the demiplanes of dread just like before,

>Mongrel Men are the results of Racemixing past the half-race stage suffer for it, check their description and it's fucking played off as a good thing despite them being ugly mutants beyond redemption in their racial descriptions, the self-unawareness is real

That's a respectable run. You can get a lot done in six months. Most online games don't last four sessions, let alone several months.

Man I tried solo games but I just can't do it. The wealth of bizarre shit that happens when five nerds get together to play these games just can't be matched by solo play. At least not for me. In many ways solo is the best way to play it because you don't depend on others. I really like that part. It's basically a video game. Pick up and put it down whenever you want. If only I could get into it.

Anyway, I already caved and found another group. We'll be playing through a module this time, about 20 sessions, so about the size of your campaign. Not enough time for me to start hating on rpgs which is good. I can't wait to delve into musty corridors and throw some dice. We start next week. I'll report back.

Well I said I would report back so here I am. I had my first game with the new group. It was rather strange, as I'm not used to playing with newbies. My usual experience with gaming is with grognards, and the game very quickly gets into a rather smooth operation: go to the dungeon, kill the monsters, fetch the gold, bring it back for XP, rinse, and repeat. Roleplay is present but secondary, it's a game, not a narrative. The characters are tools for combat and exploration first, not people. It's just a different way of playing, is all.

Now, with the newbies coming into roleplaying after the Critical Role phenomenon, it's different. They all want to elevate their characters to some literary figure. I sat through a 10-minute argument between two players because they have PCs whose "personalities" clash. These players have pet characters that they intensely protect from all danger, to the point of being a detriment to the game itself. They don't want to go into the cave "because there might be something too dangerous inside." Well wtf man, that's the whole fucking point, is it not?

The DM is aware of the problem and was privately messaging me days before the session, telling me he was hoping that I would stir the other players to action. I have never had that happen to me before. Usually, DMs are control freaks who want to have complete control of the world and the players somewhat. This guy is apparently too afraid to be candid about the pet characters that are paralyzing his game and is trying to recruit me as his hatchet man.

Welp, I'm happy to inform you that I embraced the task. We saw some action and a character got killed, although it was an excruciating process that took several minutes of arguments. But before that, let me tell you about what we did in town before going out into the caves.

One of the players actually had his character looking for work AS A FUCKING BARISTA AT THE LOCAL INN! Holy fucking Christ Jesus, man. Here we have a game where you can be a hill giant, a devil, a paladin, a rogue, a demon prince from hell, or a fucking dragon if you want to. And this guy takes a 15-minute side quest to try and get his character work waiting tables! There was nothing particularly important about this inn, either. It's just an inn.

And it's not like we were short on money either. This is a Monty Haul DM and each of us had enough money to afford food and board for like a whole year. Besides, we can just hearPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Glad to hear you had fun! Indeed, it seems there is hope ahead, if not for a good game, then at least for interesting interactions.

I came across an old article recently discussing this exact difference in philosophy, the divide between the "game-players" and the "role-players." I always assumed the latter style of play took root in the late 80s, but it was happening even in 1977, only three years after the release of Original D&D.

So there have been misunderstandings since the very start. The game is supposed to be about acquiring treasure, magic items and XP, building a stronghold, having your own army and claiming a piece of the land as your own. If your character isn't interested in any of that, then they shouldn't be an adventurer.

>The player who lost his character got into an argument with another player because that player didn't come to his aid when he was the only one who could've done something.
I bet/hope one day, in the not too distant future maybe, this player will look back on this moment and realize they were actually having fun. This sort of interaction is more real than anything narrative-based games can create.

You're right, this thing probably began with the game itself, it's just that my personal experience is different. But the worst part of pet characters full of personality, besides having to sit through a 10 minutes argument between two imaginary bozos, is the impact this stuff has on the DM.

I'm pretty sure he's prone to fudge and pull punches because of this. The game just gets smoother if nobody dies. I asked if he could have his attack and dmg rolls in the open and he said he prefers to keep it a secret to 'keep up the tension'. Bullshit. The dice gives you a probability, that's where the tension is. I can just tell he's pulling the teeth from the monsters. I hate toothless monsters, fuck. I don't even blame him honestly, the players are whiny bitches and he's afraid to lose them.
