I do feel like live plays have set some unrealistic expectations around minis, content and time spend on the game. It’s like expecting your day to day to be an action movie. But all the groups I have played with regularity are more relaxed but each person’s and groups expectations are different.
Combat can get very long if people are not prepared. Especially with graphic details of attacks. Keep that until a killing blow or cinematic moment.
God. It’s so bad. My daughter just turned one and I barely got any baby ads because I’m a man and don’t use social media. But my wife got so many different targeted ads. It’s was so hard to find what you really need vs what you are told you need. We only had one big spend that we think was useless. It was a wood highchair that our daughter hates so we got a used cheaper one which is so much better.
She loved to be connected with other moms especially when she was on leave. But it feels so predatory in a way that exploits our need to be connected. It only works better against women since men are socialized to be lonely and like it. The community is real with advertisers coming in like parasites to suck money out of people.
