Anyone else have problems with players who can't take things seriously? Cause I have one of those at the moment and he's driving me slightly nuts.
I played with a group of 10-ish players for a long time, there was two people who never took it seriously. We stopped that game, secretly invited all the good players, and started a new campaign at the DM's house. They were good people outside of the game but like sometimes you just gotta be real. We also never let them know so as not to hurt their feelings
One of them was there purely to make OP characters, he'd randomly come with a new character. He'd often just attack the party and betray us for fun, and then we'd kill him. It took up entire sessions for no reason The other was a lot more mild, but I still don't think they were super interested in the game. And they weren't like bad people outside of the game, their playstyle just didn't fit with ours. Though people who play like that are really just looking for video games, not TTRPGs
Honestly, just be real with yourself. Don't play with them, you only have one life, and if you know you'd be happier playing with more invested players, just do it. Play with people who care about the game, want to play the game, and in general have a play style that doesn't oppose yours. Definitely talk to them about what makes the game important to them though, why they like it, etc. first, and maybe see if you can change their mind
It is worth noting that sometimes new players just do random things like kill NPCs, and I think this comes from the idea that you can do anything in a game. They want it proved to them that this isn't just some video game. And what can you not do in video games? Kill everyone. Same with when players sometimes seem roleplay shy, they may just be new or don't really know what to do
Friends, enemies, and those who have yet to become either, how art thou?

I woke up like 40 minutes ago
Odd dream, I found like 250$ in cash, in some dirt near a lake. It turned out to be someones money they dropped though, and so I had to give it back to them. I think I was gonna finish my CD collection in the dream since I found it Many other odd things happened but I can't really explain it

This happened to me once. I was another player in that campaign and it really annoyed me. Eventually the DM and the other players (including me) kicked that person out and we had a lot more fun once they were gone.

One: he's the only friend I actually keep in contact with.
Two: his playstyle is jokey. He doesn't take stuff seriously, as in he makes silly jokes all the time. I'm probably just procrastinating about the annoyance. I just finished a conversation, in fact, where he was being belligerent about playing a class that I told him wasn't thematically accurate to roleplay from level one. He's now not responding to my messages. It's probably half my fault tbh since he doesn't know what Runeterra is, but it still irritates me.

Heya everyone! I'm EJO, DDB's resident immortal rat who appears randomly roughly once every week.
I'm not active much, but always up to talk when I am.
I'm known as CptKurn nearly everywhere but here.
From 5:00 to 7:30 pretty much every day I'm playing either Overwatch, Dead by Daylight or Stellaris
Do not ask me about anything I like because I WILL waffle on for half an hour.
I'm British so I'm not active at the same time as most of y'all

I can't really do that. I play is a group of three, used to be four but one dropped out a while ago. It's me, my sister, and the only friend I actually keep in contact with.

O sorrow, I have ended, you see, by respecting you, because I am certain you will never leave me.
Ah! I realize it: your beauty lies in the force of your being. You are like those who never left the sad fireside corner of my poor black heart.
O my sorrow, you are better than a well-beloved: because I know that on the day of my final agony, you will be there, lying in my sheets, O sorrow, so that you might once again attempt to enter my heart.
