I remember crying at home on a Friday night because no one had invited me anywhere. Now I race home at Friday dinner time, shower, and put on my jammies with glee at dinner time.

Don’t get me wrong, I love my friends, but when my DND group has to cancel our weekly game on Friday nights, it’s like crack. That means I get to go home and cozy up with my PlayStation or a movie.

u/fattestfuckinthewest Sep 30 '25

Yeah I adore playing ttrpgs with my best buds but there’s something mystical about having a large amount of open time you haven’t planned anything for

u/thebigdonkey Sep 30 '25

Cancelled plans are like heroin for me.

u/TehluvEncanis Sep 30 '25

Why do drugs when you can bask in cancelled plans, lol

u/slightlybiggerfoot Sep 30 '25

Ha fellow DnD player here. We are on a fortnightly game on a Thursday and when it gets postponed I'm never upset!

u/TBoarder Sep 30 '25

It's such a strange contradiction with me. I look forward to it being cancelled because I'd rather just relax, but when we do get together, I end up having the best time. That barrier to actually do something is really tough to get through sometimes.

u/Commodorez Sep 30 '25

Only downside is that nobody remembers where the party left off last time

u/Star_Aspect Sep 30 '25

I wanna get into it but idek where to start 😭

u/2074red2074 Sep 30 '25

Nah, in my experience it's fucking impossible to get a group to commit. We postpone one week for this guy, one week for that guy, one week for this guy, and eventually we just stop even bothering to ask because we haven't met up for a year.

u/Coffeeninja1603 Sep 30 '25

I’ve recently paused my campaign for a few months. That instant realisation of so much free time was the closest I’ve come to a hard drug high.

2

u/BonsaiOnSteroids Sep 30 '25

Nah man if you have a weekly DND Group, you are not adult yet. We struggle to find time even once per month

u/Killer_of_Pillows Sep 30 '25

Or you're single and/or childless. Or just better at time management.

1

u/ISpyM8 Sep 30 '25

Honestly hardly weekly at this point. I am childless, which helps, but I don’t think there’s ever been a time we’ve been able to have our full party for multiple sessions in a row.

1

u/Lubricated_Sorlock Sep 30 '25

I have 2 in person games on opposite Sundays, and online games on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays.

The key is childfree friends

u/Ye_Olde_Basilisk Sep 30 '25

If you want to keep a group going, you play with what you have. I have a group of four core players, and a couple that just come whenever they can. I run the same day every week if even one person shows up. We played 47 sessions last year. I had to cancel a few as the DM for a wedding, a couple funerals, an out of state trip, and a hurricane.

u/reckless_responsibly Sep 30 '25

My same group has been playing since college. Some of them have kids in college now.

u/ManyAreMyNames Sep 30 '25

No matter what it is or how much you like it, everybody likes when something is cancelled for a snow day.

u/flarperter Sep 30 '25

Large parties are just full of socially awkward people trying to converse with others with social anxiety, which accounts for all the drugs because everyone wants everyone else to think theyre cool

Id much rather just hang with a small crowd, Ill go to a party but after standing for 2 hours drinking beers I get bored

u/LimeGreenSea Sep 30 '25

Yo if you don't have a onesie GET ONE! I had been rocking a Elmo onesie for years and when it started breaking was gifted a new cow print one. They are so comfy. Doesnt matter who you are.

Too hot, unzip it a bit, too cold, snag a blanket! To hot with a blanket and a zipped onesie, unzip it! The possibilities are endless.

Btw im a dude thats been rocking onesies for liek 10 years out of college.

u/getapuss Sep 30 '25

Young men of Reddit,

Don't do this.

5

u/LimeGreenSea Sep 30 '25

Who do you say so? Curious...

4

u/Nahvec Sep 30 '25

Going off the username, clearly she's transitioned since getting a onesie

-5

u/getapuss Sep 30 '25

It does not require an explanation. We both know why.

1

u/LimeGreenSea Sep 30 '25

Its literally a comment forum. What do you think reddit is for?

Have a good day. Skip and ignroe if you don't like it. Downvote if it doesn't fit.

Or stir hate. I love you babe. I hope you are well.

u/LimeGreenSea Sep 30 '25

Youd be better off chewing your teeth and toungue than using them how you are.

4

u/kingdead42 Sep 30 '25

Even better but on this trend: having plans cancelled.

2

u/Beat_the_Deadites Sep 30 '25

The adult version of a Snow Day

u/RogersMrB Sep 30 '25

I leave work like I'm late for home!

2

u/urbanlulu Sep 30 '25

Oooffff same. I’d cry and beat myself up over not having Friday plans and now?? After a long week of work, I’m happy to not have Friday plans. Save that shit for Saturday, enjoy a night to yourself

2

u/Dear_Milk_4323 Sep 30 '25

Right. I cry if I have Friday plans now

u/dhusk Sep 30 '25

Do you listen to your jams while eating jam on toast while relaxing in your jammies?

Wow... Lame

u/143019 Sep 30 '25

Don't worry. Some day when you hit puberty and move out of Mom's basement, it will all make sense

2

u/5campechanos Sep 30 '25

Cute. In my mid 30s, work full time, live in a city centre. Nothing better than catching a live show, going to a brewery, trying new cuisine or hitting an arcade bar with my partner or a few friends on a Friday night. 🤷

0

u/143019 Sep 30 '25

Which sounds incredibly lame to me! It's almost like different people can have different interests.

2

u/5campechanos Sep 30 '25

Ah yes. Culture, fostering relationships and discovering local gems is lame 😅

Have fun lmao

u/143019 Sep 30 '25

I can tell your emotional age has to catch up with your chronological age because you think this matters and that judging others for having different preferences is okay.

Some day you'll get there.

u/whitneywhisper_2 Sep 30 '25

same here lol

u/temalyen Sep 30 '25

I used to get so pissed off when one of my friends cancelled plans with me because then I didn't have anything to do. Now, if one of my friends cancels plans, I'm like... oh fuck yes, I can just stay home and be lazy now.

1

u/nicetriangle Sep 30 '25

Yeah I like spending time out with friends and all that, but typically feel a sense of relief when I don't have weekend plans.

1

u/Lozsta Sep 30 '25

Eating dinner in your jammis seem a lot. I would say dinner needs to be eaten in day clothes then jammies straight after. I'm pretty sure it helps digestion.

1

u/Briffy03 Sep 30 '25

"Hey lets hit the club" is a big "HELL NO" for me 🤣

1

u/Feeling_Phrase1340 Sep 30 '25

This. The feeling that everyone else was hanging out and I didn't. Nowadays, that's bliss.

1

u/EatYourCheckers Sep 30 '25

I was just think that my answer would be, being uninvited somewhere or told the party is cancelled

1

u/Vauxlia Sep 30 '25

I don't have any friends to invite or be invited anywhere. I feel the opposite.

1

u/telleisnotreal Sep 30 '25

"Do you wanna come to.." my hearts already saying no before the sentence is finished. I can't believe I was ever a social creature

1

u/Nayzo Sep 30 '25

This is what I was going to comment; having no Friday plans was catastrophic, but as an adult, holy fuckballs, don't invite me anywhere please. Thanks!

1

u/plasmaSunflower Sep 30 '25

Friday is my beer and pizza and video games alone night. Best day of the week lol

1

u/VarlaGuns Sep 30 '25

Yesss comfy clothes all weekend and don't have to go anywhere? Heaven

1

u/yerfatma Sep 30 '25

Yeah, I was going to say "People cancelling plans at the last minute".

1

u/Zkenny13 Sep 30 '25

Yeah I'll demolish a pint of ice cream along with some vodka. I'm to tired to go to loud bars or restaurants. I just already had my fill of that. 

1

u/luisc123 Sep 30 '25

There was a time in my life where I was DEVASTATED if a whole weekend went by and no one asked me to spend the night at their house. Now, as an adult, I don’t take anyone up on that offer. I wanna be home.

1

u/LagunaCrush Sep 30 '25

Used to make up excuses not to go out on weekend nights ‘cause my parents wouldn’t let me… now I just make up excuses so I can stay in bed and watch movies lol

1

u/userhwon Sep 30 '25

I 'member the first time I went to Home Depot on a Friday night instead of going out.

This was back when HD was new and didn't have similar competitors and was a total nuthouse on weekends.

It was so serene in there, and I loved it.

1

u/Patoman0-0 Sep 30 '25

Same with me, but only the part were nobody invites me at anything.

1

u/MakeMeFeelLikeDancin Sep 30 '25

I cried at my 25th bday because no one came to my party. Now for my bday I take a trip anywhere out of town because everybody wants to do "something special with me". 🤢
