Thing that annoys me: People decrying someone else's actions for being out-of-character for a particular character when they don't even know what a particular character is like or why they might be doing a thing.

Radio still continues to be annoying. Sad day when it's not even the trolls that are the worst part of it.

Cantr offline wouldn't work, everyone knows it's a relationship simulator.

It'd work wonders for me, it just wouldn't be as popular to the masses (in theory, but then again...).

Cantr is about having a good time with friends while watching project percentages slowly go up. Except for when it's all about sneering and shouting and repeatedly calling people trolls and then feeding them anyway while insinuating they're breaking the CR. Those days suck and make me miss the actual trolls because they're usually at least trying to be funny and I don't get the sense that the players themselves are flipping out. :(

Not like I'm dating anyone but myself anyways. :lol:

I'm annoyed there's not more to be made from papayas.

That is an oddly specific thing to be annoyed about.

But me, I'm annoyed there's still no such thing as lemonade. :(

I'm annoyed that lemons are grown in the same little flower pots as herbs and flowers.

Make a suggestion to rename lemon juice to lemonade. *shrugs*

That would be silly. It's lemon juice with water and sugar. Or at least sugar since you guys always leave the water out of recipes. And I think I've suggested it before, but sure, I'll go make a thread later.

Minor pet peeve of mine is how so many custom descriptions start with "a" or "a pair of". It looks weird if you just see it repeated for every item, since it's unnecessary information. Personally I also dislike how it's like "cotton skirt - a cotton skirt that [...]" because again, information that's already there explicitly.

That said, I am so glad everyone's making custom descriptions so don't mind me. :lol:

I admit to being guilty of that, but it's usually because I don't know how else to start a description. It feels weird to just jump in and be like "the hem reaches over the head and is made of paisley cloth" when "a skirt made of paisley cloth with a hem reaching over the head" flows so much better, descriptively, in my mind. Especially if it's very descriptive, it has like an ebb and flow, you know?
