I was playing DnD with my friends, but unfortunately we are retarded get distracted easy so the whole game we would move nothing.

We decided to remove some of the habilities rolls in orders to make it faster, and it worked. The game was finally moving, and the storyline was progressing like a normal game.

This was all about 2 months ago, nowa few days ago they wanted them back, when I started asking why, they would say shit like:" My character is better now"....

Bro just me an the DM where like...but we did it for the time you fucks. Don't you remember?.....

Either way, we voted they won, we played 3 hrs of game and nothing happened we did almost nothing.

GUESS WHAT, we ended up back to o removing some rolls..... Dude they just didn't remember, and that was an 2months ago

They aren't specially stupid, most of them are average intelligence , but they forget.

I'm afraid that so has America, and we end up with this cunt as president.....fuck me

Uhhhhh…

I’m a little lost on this story.

They removed an element of the game that was slowing the players down but 2 months later the players demanded it'd be added back, which slowed the game down again.

The players demanded that element back because they forgot how much it ruined their game so quickly.

They're saying that people who forget how bad it was to have Trump well somehow get him back into office.

It isn't a super direct analogy.

This sounds about right, but OP could really have done with double checking their post before submitting.

Reads like a drunk text.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

Would have helped

I write these sometimes. I guess one of these:

  1. very tired

  2. lil drunk

3)non-native speaker

I'm going to go with all three: sleepy sloshed Spaniard

Yea, that's a good assessment also.

Definitely has a I'm 14 and this is deep vibe.

[-] kakes@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago

I've done that a few times where I'm completely baffled at the thought process behind someone's post. Then I remember I might just be talking to a 14 year old, and suddenly it all makes sense.

I think what they're saying is that Americans don't pay attention and forgot how terrible the Trump presidency was because it's been a few years. Most people think that "we're better now" and any major issues have abated without understanding that nothing has fundamentally changed. Because of all that, Trump will win the election. The DnD portion of the post is just what got OP to think about this.

Sad thing is that there's merit to the argument. It's the old trope of "Americans have short memories."

[-] TWeaK@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

I think Trump will win the election because of manipulation through targeted social media activities, if not direct manipulation of the results, but that's just me.

[-] MindSkipperBro12@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago

I see…

Yeah, us Americans are a pretty retarded bunch.

[-] Argongas@kbin.social 13 points 11 months ago

There are so many things these days which co-opt and diminish our ability to pay attention and focus, it wouldn't be all that surprising if it's also affecting memory.

The book Stolen Focus goes into these issues, but diet, air pollution, smart phones, social media, and instant gratification tired to consumerism all diminish our ability to focus.

[-] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 13 points 11 months ago

Off topic but DND kind of sucks as a rule system, and you should probably look for something that's a good fit for your group out of the box.

Fate is very fast and pretty free form. Also free.

[-] d00phy@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Don’t forget, the GOP will be winning control of the Senate pretty soon, too.

[-] jrbaconcheese@yall.theatl.social 6 points 11 months ago

Public Education has failed us. Either that or autocorrect.

[-] Something_Complex@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Jesus fucking Christ I'm Portuguese go fuck yourselves whenever you learn another language.

Dumbasses can't talk more then one language and still bash. Go fucking home

[-] Kolrami@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

In fairness, I assumed you were American too, because you said "we end up with this guy as president".

[-] Something_Complex@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Well i don't really appreciate the geopolitical control the US has over the world. But for better or worse Europe and The US are in a "ride or die" type of situation

[-] Th4tGuyII@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago

I think that ironically plays into their point, because they didn't even pay attention when making this post about people not paying attention

[-] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 6 points 11 months ago

I just want to point out that in Pathfinder there is a good mechanic for selecting presidents.

I feel like this post is going to get some people very wound up. Therefore, I'll just say this. Trump isn't unique and the attitude many see in him isn't tied to a political party.

[-] Norgur@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

DND players wanted to try to play.by the full rules again and learned that it wasn't working out despite the reasons they thought it might != People re-electing a criminal into office
