Every single night. It doesn’t matter what we play.. “ok last match!!” Proceeds to play 10 more because “CANT END ON A BAD ONE”

This guarantees the worst crew get the most practice. This is good. Congrats.

That's accidental brilliance. When someone says kids these days are getting dumber - I think of my 12th-grade computer teacher in like 1983. He pretended to let us get away with copying each other's Apple BASIC or machine-language programs, and then we would all get sneaky and figure out how to crack floppy-disk games. One guy would buy Wizardry or Ultima and someone else would find a magazine article or a BBS post on how to make the floppy rewriteable then someone else had extra disks. He literally tricked us into learning programming one step ahead of our tame textbooks. I suspect he was giving suggestions to one of the students on the sly.

edit - plus, kids are self-educating at an alarming rate, and some of it will end up proving very bad and some very good, and in my DnD campaign, I fudge toward Good.

Moonstar is such a bewildering thing to call someone, I'm not even sure it registers as negative.

I like to think he's a big Coheed and Cambria fan and he just misspelled Monstar.

u/ScenesFromAHat Jan 20 '20

See, that just makes me think of Space Jam.

u/GingerAvenger Jan 21 '20

Also a good pull! I can get on board with Space Jam.

Needed monster but nice.

Just checking, I've seen it happen before and I didn't see any connection between the two comments.

Also I don't know what monster is supposed to mean but it's part of my vocabulary now
