Why, and how?

I'm assuming the new guy NOPE'd out hard at the escalating fight?

This is why I always take my group out for beers with new players; they get to see us in a casual environment and we get to see what they're like inebriated

>the insults turn personal
>Player 1 says "Well, maybe I'd spend more time on my spelling and class balance on my homemade class, if I had an ugly wife like player 1, or a wife that's gained 40 lbs in the last 2 years like player 2."
>Player 2 says "Your wife has held up well, but your sister is still a total whore who's had 4 husbands and worked as an escort for a while, and probably is still on drugs."

Man, I haven't seen that meme in a long time.

Please continue, it sounds like either something that's been building for a long time, or something that would've happened a while ago but no one had bothered trying homebrew classes or something.

Let the hate begin.....

>>52855701
I'm honestly wondering what will happen

>>52855639
Our wives don't really allow us to go out and drink. We can't be trusted unsupervised when we're together.
Missing a good time at the bars sucks, but it beats the fuck out of divorce

>>52855755
He'll be back. He said he would. And, everything had calmed down after lunch. I think (hope), he blew off our autism.

>>52855681
>Please continue, it sounds like either something that's been building for a long time, or something that would've happened a while ago but no one had bothered trying homebrew classes or something

We've never played a homebrew class. Ever. It's never even been discussed at the table. I don't fully understand WHY player 1 wanted it, or why it triggered player 2 so fucking bad.

>>52855760
I'm really sorry to hear that bro. I know a lot will call you cuck and the like but damn it's not worth cutting up a family over something trivial. Plus, nothing you can't do with drinks at home.

>>52855760
>Our wives don't really allow us to go out and drink
What the fucking fuck?

How emasculated and unhappy can a man get?
Seriously, my wife would never even think of saying some bullshit like that. And I wouldn't even think of saying the same to her.
How the fuck do you live with yourselves and why the fuck would divorce be worse?

>>52855828
>damn it's not worth cutting up a family over something trivial
Exactly. It's something you work through. You don't just expect your husband to be a misrable sack of shit. If you don't have trust OR the ability to work towards fixing mistakes that weren't yours, how can you call yourself an adult?

>>52855841
It's mutual. I'm well aware that when I drink, i can't be out in public. I'd do stupid shit, and give no fucks.

This is for the best. I've got 0 will when I've had a couple drinks......and I've never learned to stop after a couple.

>>52855795
It sounds like it was something Player 1 had made himself but didn't want to quite admit to his mistakes with it, and it sounds like Player 2 was just made that it was such a bleh class. Maybe he's had problems with homebrew classes online or something.

>>52855897
Oh. You shoul've said you're an actual, genetically predispositioned alcoholic.

>>52855874
Whatever. I'm smart enough to know that I'm stupid when I drink.

And I'm hardly miserable because I don't go out alone. We've kinda quit our party days. Now we got kids bullshit to deal with, and other things. Party time, is low on the list.

>>52855935
I don't know that it's genetic. That's a topic that's been discussed in my home a lot tho.

>>52855935
This. My father, mother and both grandparents on my mother's side are all alcoholics. I haven't touched the stuff. I'm 29

>>52855926
Total homebrew class.

The modern standard for diagnosing alcoholism are just 'drink this much, you're it', but actual alcoholism has genetic markers that you can be checked for.

The result of having the genes tied to said markers is what you describe: you're drawn to alcohol like a fatty is drawn to cake and you do not give a fuck once you get it.
You can live a normal life, but only without alcohol.

>>52856063
That is actually interesting.

I can have 0 drinks....and I'm fine with it. Don't miss it at all. Hell, i seldom have more than a beer on a hot day, when I'm at home.

But if I ever have that first drink of something more than beer....i'll drink every fucking bit i can get my hands on till I pass out. And I'll get pissed if i can't get more.

>>52855496

Grog detected.

>>52855935
>genetically predispositioned alcoholic.
Please. The guy acts like a child, and has a mother instead of a wife. Are you surprised he loses the tiny little mind he has when he drinks?

Is it really right to give your woman that power over you?

>>52855660
>>My wife comes out and brings us sandwiches

>makes him and his friends food
>doesn't throw a fit when a group of idiots are making noise to the point that it offends the neighbors
>been playing (i assume) at their home for years
>marriage still going

Ya, op is clearly being ruled by a female and should grow a set of nuts.

wut?

>>52857854
Just because his woman doesn't let him drink

>>52857889
>It's mutual. I'm well aware that when I drink, i can't be out in public. I'd do stupid shit, and give no fucks

Sounds self aware more than 'controlled'.

I think it's a chimpanzee.

wat?

>>52858254
It reminded me of this uncle I had.....

I, I ........I don't wanna talk about it.

>>52858376
They have eaten human babies before.
Sorry for derailing the thread.

>>52858420
Chimps eating human kids, shouldn't ever be considered a derail.

That's documented tho? I've never heard it before.

>>52858420
"At least six cases of chimpanzees snatching and eating human babies are documented"

>>52858443
That disturbs me somewhat. Well done anon.

Human babies, or Aficans?

>>52858471
Well chimpanzees mostly live in central africa, where the human population is largely african black. The video I posted clearly featured some kind of hispanic child.

Tourists rarely bring babies to these regions, and the white population is so insanely petite that I doubt there are any incidents of white babies being eaten by a chimpanzee.

>>52858572
So you're saying we should put chimps on the Wall on our southern border?

I like the way you think anon.
