This is my DM in one of the campaigns I play in. "Hey guys how is this day?" Everyone is in, the day before the session our DM "sorry guys I forgot about blank". A month goes by, the same thing happens.

Worst part: it's usually because of golf.

At that point its their decision to priorities what they enjoy. Time to find a new member.

This shit is getting REEEEEALLY old, rest-of-my-group.

Easy way to fix the problem. If they don’t show up, they don’t get exp and loot. Don’t stop a party because one can’t show. Especially if they have a choice to come or not. “I need to do laundry” is not a very valid excuse why the rest of us can’t play, if they cared about your game and respected you, they would’ve figured out how to do their laundry another time.
“Grandma died” (legit) is valid and if you are friends you should probably cancel the session and comfort them.
You get to figure out where your gray lines are in that range.

Wasn't this from one of the Cabela's Hunting games? Or CoD: Black Ops?

I can still hear the streamer
"That's the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life... Ah-huh!"

I swear, that is my group. I get weekdays, I seriously do. They're working and I'm the only out. And I'd even understand if they are on-call. So I figure we do a session on Saturday or something and I can spend the weekdays preparing for the next session and getting good at Roll20 or something. But no, every Saturday someone is busy or had plans already made for that day. And this is all on Discord that I don't think they check frequently (unless I posted something strangely.) So now I'd really love it if one of them could confirm if he is available in two weeks from now and hopefully the last player would confirm one way or another.

Friday and Saturday nights are a death sentence to any consistent schedule. D&D is pretty great, but it will lose eventually when it's constantly competing with festivals, weddings, concerts, holidays, birthdays, new movie releases, and regular ol' night on the town.
Had a party play for the second time, games were about a month apart, and the scheduling question came up at the end of the session. I point out the above, other player gets pissy about how that's the only time they have free because they're sOoOo busy working on weekdays. We schedule it for Friday night. Motherfucker messages a couple hours before the scheduled game that they forgot about it and already bought movie tickets for that time and weren't coming. Their gf was playing as a clinger on, so the party goes from 4 to 2. We just cancel. Never played with that group again.

If they aren’t showing up, just kick them from the group. Unless you’re playing with the crew from critical roll or some shit, you can always find better players out there desperate to join a party

I seriously don't understand this. The game is time that is agreed to put aside. I've been in a home game for almost three years and we all make time for it because the rest of the group has agreed to play in this game.
Do they just not want to play the game?

At that point, it seems like they just don't want to play...
