Just because something is the norm somewhere doesn't mean we have to just accept it, of course. Bowing is the norm in Japan whereas a handshake is more common in the United States. Adapt to where you are, or look like an idiot.

@derp said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

@SunnyJ

While I appreciate you linking actual research (really, I do, it is a rarity), I'm not sure that this backs up the claim, as almost all of this research was conducted almost 20 years ago. There is not a single article there cited after 2005, while most of them were conducted in the mid 90's.

Great, now I feel ancient. THANKS GRANDPA.

But it's only out of concern for your health, of course!

@auspice He would never give whiskey to a woman he knew was pregnant. (With a man of whom he did not approve.)

Prince Augustus Grayson, on Arx. Hardass super-traditionalist with every word thought out and examined before being spoken. Quiet, reserved, with the gravitas of a seasoned statesman. Basically every one of my favourite character tropes thrown into one man.

@auspice Let's bring back customized cursors and broken no-right-clicking scripts. OOH. And websites that only function 'properly' in certain browsers.

@derp Gifts are subject to taxation if they're cumulatively over a certain amount. Jussayin.

I might actually be able to get a permanent-permanent teaching gig, rather than long-term substitute jobs.
Fuck yes.

@auspice It works non-VR now.

Option 2 is good, theoretically. The main sticking point, given my brief skim-through, is... where do new people come from if they can't get in?

@ganymede Isn't that the result of the fucking?
Or am I doing it wrong?

@aria Hey could you fly out to my place and catsit for me before eight am tomorrow morning? Cheers.

@auspice You ain't on Fallcoast.
Suck it.

@aria Well. I'm in a Fallcost discord chat talking to someone I TS'd with ten years ago.

Sooo. It's possible.

@faraday To a point, yeah. bur if your game uses a system that is published and out there... then it's not on the game to ensure you've read the book.

If I set a game in the Harry Potter universe, I expect you to know what a horcrux is.

@faraday I'm happy to teach.
I'm not happy to be expected to teach. That's the line.
If you join a game, one is expected to be willing to learn. Those that 'don't know' WoD don't seem willing to absorb a damned thing.

@insomnia That... seems like the plot line to a shitty Friends episode. But, you know. If you're single, consider this a PSA.

@derp Tetran.

I want a Requiem of Rome game. That's all I want.
I mean I'll probably get bored of it, since that's what I do, but I still want it.

@ashen-shugar Yeah... that still doesn't really help me do what I want to do.
