Check all security cams. A certain frozen water agency might have knocked you unconscious for a few months. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oof, my condolences. :(

The immense joy I (modern board game enthusiast) felt when half a dozen of people in my vicinity got the reboot and realized how incredibly underwhelming and meh of a game they just got nostalgia-scammed by. Just nah. Hero Quest same shit. What was the third one? Something Dark Tower? Absolutely not

I don't think they are, in fact.

If you want to "feel something" in a game, here's a four hour game completable in one session that will create a memory lasting forever: To the Moon.

FFVI - FFX are great picks for nostalgia purposes as well, for sure.

Ugh, so mysterious! I wonder what it sounds like. Will there be instruments? Is somebody singing? I get the namesake - never let them know your next move. 🤙

She's gone. If she feels better about it this way, so be it. Needs therapy either way, not your job.

How'd it go?

Wow. Such sound engineering - I would never have known what this picture sounded like. Makes it so *real*!!! Thank you. <3

Your pride is untouchable. Slay away in Stardew, happy new year from a stranger!

Likely not the quick solution you were looking for, but this will take potentially years of deprogramming you from being in a hamster wheel to where you can enjoy anything but hustling. It's more likely you will just find a new thing to constantly do.

Try a game that gamifies chores. Gacha? WoW?

here with her roommate, but you cannot move forward with this as it is. Offer to find help finding a good seat online. That's about as much as I'd give. If she's gon b a b, then well. Therapy, baby. Go get some.

the necessary accomodations to make this enjoyable for her. See if she responds well to frontrunning and being understanding of her needs and wishes and how another game with a stricter and more cohesive schedule is going to be much better for her and that it is unfortunate that she cannot play
December 11, 2025 at 4:50 PM
I won't pretend like there is some word magician out there that can find the perfect tone to make her feel well-respected and not feel kicked out forcefully, but I can't give you a script for that. Bottom line: She will never take it well. Try to focus on you, your game and how you cannot provide

ic situation and she can come back when you host a different style of game in the future (which you may or may not ever do - but it's the courteous thing to say). I don't think she will make anybody including herself happy with this group before having gone through therapy.
December 11, 2025 at 4:42 PM
Because this attitude also will feel like a stab in her back because she thought she was very important, I feel her needs and wishes clash too much with your style and organization, not to mention any players being affected. My suggestion is to part ways because your game is not right for her specif

ule and her feeling extreme FOMO when the game continues without her. While you can of course try and find a publicly declared downtime activity performed while waiting for players, this will likely always remain a problem because you as players do in fact not *need* her to be there at all times.
December 11, 2025 at 4:39 PM
1) Nobody wants straight people at their table.
2) On a more serious note: Your player sounds deprived of attention and care and needs love and affection. A game of D&D and its catering towards a hero fantasy promises her to be important and receive such. This strongly clashes with your way to sched
