Yes. You are a mess. An embarrassment, even. The only one being a baby here is you.

Furthermore, a house rule is not the same as an ad-hoc on-the-spot ruling that may or may not be repeated later.

That's bad for the environment.

The book "dying of whiteness" has a whole section about this. They interview a lot of people who are survivors of gun suicide and find that for political reasons they don't want gun control, even as they admit their loved ones are dead because guns made it so easy to die. One of them even privately says she agrees, but would never say so in public.

You spent days coming up with that reply?

And you take offense at "If you want to do X, maybe look for a system that does it out of the box"? You're ignoring the "add a house rule" option, too. Did someone hurt you by telling you to play another system, and this is trauma shutting down your brain?

You're a mess.

It's hard to know if they're laying off the good workers or the parasites that build up in big orgs.

Thought the last frame was going to be pouring the hot oil on the landlord. I guess this is fine, too.

I'm out of the loop now, but when I was younger there was a weird divide between the youth/young adult stuff, and adult.

The adult stuff was a lot of traditional "sit and listen to a talk".

The youth was a lot more hand on, interactive. "Let's start a bonfire, write down our fears, and throw them into it". "We got people from the community to teach how to make instruments out of junk".

I really liked it when I was younger, and met a lot of kids who were very cool.

Maybe I should see what's on offer around here. I don't want to go to a "service" but I miss the community sometimes.

That's like several months of food. Or years worth of video games. That's so expensive. Even if I was a big fan of the sport, I wouldn't be able to justify spending that.

"Please run the formatter so the checks pass on the PR" is a perfectly fine and polite statement. Some people act like they're being attacked.

I've known some cool unitarians. The org can collect a lot of upper middle class white people, but it's also the first place I really learned about LGBT rights in the 90s (I'm getting old) and other social justice stuff.

Considering how you are behaving here I find it extremely unlikely that you are widely regarded as pleasant. Really. Go read your post again, where you escalated all the way to "go fuck yourself".

Furthermore, your post is foolish.

First, an ad hoc change of rules to benefit the players is fudging. You should talk about it with your table because groups are different, but many people feel strongly about it.

Second of all, in my post I suggested that if players like being able to interrupt big spells, they could either add a house rule to cover that, or change to a system that does it out of the box. And you're blowing up over that?

Third of all, not every table is the same. Some tables would enjoy the wreckage of "wow we really shouldn't have bunched up like that. Well, I think I'm going to roll a rogue next because evasion sounds nice".

Your post is garbage. You're mad at some imaginary "evil GM" story in your head.

They should also be forced to pay a year's salary to everyone who applied to a ghost job. (That's a job that's not real and they have no intention of filling)
