Pet peeves: The return (Part 8)

Campaign with a co-op ally is so nice, you don’t realise how good it is until a sudden enemy attack that would’ve forced a restart instead rolls into your ally’s tanks

I downloaded 20 GB of WoW updates with VPN on, by mistake.

(It’s fine, it’s a homebrew VPN on a VPS. But oops.)

So having food made with powder from the carolina reaper pepper is NOT the most pleasent surprise. Like a bit of warning would’ve been nice.

Peeve: People who meme too much in RP or follow their own sole fun even if it is immersion breaking to others.

… Go play it immediately.

Ugh. Hate it.
Same as people who make everything a joke. I can’t get into things when they’re around, it sucks out the atmosphere and just stops my enjoyment of proceedings.

I’m like 90% with you, but the remaining 10% is a tiny shrine in my heart built to Toriell, an old, old memer who was endearing enough to almost get away with it

hi ;>

Now that’s a name that dusts off the neurons.

C&C3 has a special place in my heart, because some of the NOD’s turrets scratched my kid self’s brain really well. Something about those infantry shredders or w/e just felt so satisfying. And I also really liked Scrin. I know most of the boomers prefer to say the C&C franchise ended with C&C2, but hey, I’m not one of those!

Though, maybe I am, because Red Alert franchise ended for me with 2. Peeved how 3 is the favourite for some people, when 2 is the greatest Red Alert game there is! :triumph:

(Command and Conquer: Renegade has not been talked enough for how good of a game it was. Seeing the obelisks in first person was just a really cool ‘oh crap’ moment that only World of Warcraft has done similar things wrt being in third person of a setting from another game…)

The Marvel quip was a huge mistake thats infested almost all meda, roleplay included.

Not everything needs a memey oneliner.

Sometimes I feel like a grouchy boomer because I’ve become increasingly intolerant of comedic and jokey characters the more time has passed because I just feel like I’ve not really seen many RPers over the years who were aware of when the correct time tonally to drop a comedic bar was.

While I’m a deranged memelord OOC, when it comes to my roleplay I almost completely agree. I’m not one for silly in-character antics unless it’s very infrequent or just perfectly timed.

The funnier moments ive had in roleplay have often been sudden or accidental. Like a friend saying something stupid but sincere that just makes everyone laugh.

Precisely. Like I can actually appreciate comedy themes in RP at times, but that’s quite different from breaking established themes of RP and Warcraft for the (un)funny. :pensive:

There are some who do it well whom I associate with comedy stuff, including that one. And of course my favourite clown too. :clown_face: :heart:

You tell them old friend, you tell them!

There is anniversary but apparently it bricked a bunch of mods, been a while since I played my third fave game of all time so not sure if they’re fixed.

With this I also emerge from my hole, Savage in FFXIV this tier is super fun (only 1 boss down, several friends are at 4) and I began watching “what we do in the shadows” so my life is going somewhere
