That's funny. If he is so toxic, how are you guys friends? Or is he somehow only toxic when it comes to wargaming? (which would be weird if those traits didn't spill over into other things.
Because I make questionable choices, apparently.
My contract with him is minimal because even before I encountered his bad he can be, he was still very... Trying... And burnt through my social battery very quickly. And these days, I only interact with him over discord.
Easier to mute him with discord. Especially when he starts a rant about how "only retards play as Bretonnia".
So in answer... Barely. And likely only because he's a still part of a friend group on discord.
Edit:
And maybe I used "toxic" wrong, but... When I play tabletop games, it's to chill and have fun. Not to be shouted at for my every action. To have abuse sent at me whether I do good or bad. And some of the most vulgar language used to do so.
The friend, he's not normally like that, rants aside. So maybe he's just channeling the group energy tenfold.
That is WFB 8th edition's scene locally.
Edit Edit:
I really hate my autism sometimes. It feels like I'm over-explaining, but when I look at the post thinking "what can I snip" I can't bring myself to snip enough for me to feel the answer concise enough while still answering the question.
