@Ghost ...yikes

@Aria What an asshole.

@griatch We're not playing games until this Friday, but once we do I'll report back!

wibbles, looks at her bankaccount

@Taika Also thanks to @Thenomain !

The price tag, while worth it, is a little be of a barrier to entry for Gloomhaven. I have the physical game and kind of regret getting it because we don't play it anymore cause our in person group fell apart. And it's kinda hard to restart.

But I love it. And can't wait for the computer game full release tomorrow.

...but it isn't horror despite @Misadventure asking. :]

@lordbelh I'm making a mortal. We should be mortal buddies.

@everyone-else: I'm making this. If anyone is interested in background ties, let me know.

Like how?

Because D&D exists and an expensive ass board game that does D&D worse than D&D is a waste of money.

I mean ... Considering how many d&d products are there... Spending $100-160 once a d&d-esque boardgame that has way less in the way of rules you have to remember is probably not a waste.

Who even speaks with the cashiers.

I do the bare minimum to not be rude when I'm buying groceries. In orientation they were like: "Just treat our customers the way you want to be treated." To which my immediate thought is: "Leave them the fuck alone unless they look like they need help? Possibly don't even talk to them at the checkout line?"

But, ugh. Yeah. I find it really creepy when people are like: "I just like knowing who I'm talking to." And then don't give you their name in return.

@ThatGuyThere, yeah. If its someone that's come in a lot, that'd be one thing.

G1.

I miss Halmar/Grey/ronan era G1.

@Miss-Demeanor the other night a guy with a full cart walks up at 9:59, and my shifts ends at 10. there is another register open behind me. Guy goes, "You look like you need something to do." And i'm like nope i'm off in a minute and he goes, "You are not going to make it" laughes at me and starts piling shit onto my lane.

I was so mad.

what do you mean by "adult"?

@ixokai said in RL Anger:

I do not go back to sleep. If my roommate is doing something stupid at 4am and wakes me up, if I've been asleep for one, two, three, four, or five hours, it doesn't matter. I'm awake then. That's it. I can try for an afternoon nap, but besides that? I'm awake.

This is basically me.

Unrelated:

A dude came in the store today and was like: "Hi Cobalt. How are you? I'm good. I had a dream about you last night!" ... And then was like: "What are your plans for the weekend? Oh, do you still live at home since you're a college student?" And I'm slowly getting more and more skeeved out. The person I was checking out just looked at me with wide eyes, and I've got this smile painted on my face, wondering if my eyes are showing my internal screams.

Also.

Wednesday night. I have a couple coming through the line with WIC. Which is fine and isn't hard to do. However, they grabbed the wrong milk. And there is the old woman behind them. Who while I'm trying to figure out why the milk wasn't covered, starts freaking out. "Oh, I'm trapped here! Oh my god! Why is it taking SO LONG! I'm trapped! Isn't there anyone else in this store I can just pay and go?? Oh my god. I have an appointment I am late for! Oh my god I just want to go!"

And then the couple are just like: "We'll just leave the milk."

And I'm like: "I'm so, so, so, sorry. Have a good night."

And the bitch is like: "So what was the problem?"

And after I ring her up and get her out of the line (she had problems with her chip card, of course). And she yells at me that she only has two hands when I try to give her, her receipt... but whatever she's gone right? Got an appointment she needs to get to? Wrong. She goes, "Can I look around with these?" Pointing at the stuff she bought and I was just like .... as long as you have your receipt.

Off she goes, not off to the appointment, but to go look around the store more.

I move on to ringing another person up, and she walks up, comes into the line the wrong way, and shoves herself down practically ontop of the guys, buying tomatoes. So much for that appointment. Right?

Well.

She came in today as well. And I had an old woman and her old son with her. And had just finished ringing them up when she gets into the line. And the old woman is having trouble with the chip reader-- So, of course, the complainer from the night before starts complaining again. "Oh my god, every time I come here I get trapped here. Come on, come on! What is taking you so long."

And the guy just starts going "blah blah blah" back to her. And she starts back at him. They finally get rang up and she tells the guy-- "Give me five cents for a bag, ha ha ha!" And then demands he do her chip card for her. Which ... he dutifully does, and then she yanks it away from him and shoves his hands away and says, "Yeah, yeah, I know what to do."

And then demands a plastic bag from me for her rotissiere chicken and I'm like: "We don't have plastic bags here."

I'd play a star trek game if I could play a betazoid scientist again. ~sigh~

(FAE would actually be a good, easy system for a trek game vs the crunchiness of LUG and uh the other one.)

I don't care that you're over fifty. You don't have gray hair and aren't bent over, neither does your wife. I have to card you both. Throwing a tantrum and saying that you should be able to buy it because you're going to be sixty doesn't work. Also, yes. I do have to card your husband. He can't just leave and then you get the beer. Doesn't matter if its for you. I have to card both of you! BOTH.

@Cobalt I love the look of the website, awesome work there.

I can't really take credit for that! That was all Ren! Who is absolutely magical. I was just like "hey here's a background image" and they went to town.

@faraday said in Coming Soon: The Pack an Ares Game:

Supernatural isn't really my jam, but it looks really nice. The idea of werewolves and vampires revealing themselves on social media is hilariously imaginable.

Isn't it tho? I was up googling when the first smart phones came out, when instagram and facebook and all that were all officially launched to get the dates right too, lol.

Pandas are, apparently, jerks.

Seriously. Don't tell me things and then get angry when I deny you sales.

No. I'm not going to sell you things on someone else's food card. If its your wife's why isn't she in using it? Or just go through self check out. Jesus.

Also, no. If you tell me you're buying alcohol through your neighbor I'm not going to sell it to you. I don't care if he's 70. If he isn't with you for me to verify that I'm not selling it! I'm not losing my job for you.

Ugh. And yes, please through a tantrum and leave all of your groceries all over my belt, so I have to clean it up before I can help the next person in line. Because I want to make your life difficult by not selling you the beer. If you just kept your mouth shut it would have been fine.

Seriously. Don't tell your cashiers shit like "oh the beer isn't for me".
