No, you're a flake because you made plans you didn't follow through on.
If you are that busy with your shit that you can't find any time to play with friends online then don't make plans to do so to begin with, chum. That's basic responsible behavior.
>my wife's son
I hate when people use their job or education as an excuse to flake out on shit because you fucking know what times you have work and school. Your English teacher doesn't call you at 7 in the afternoon and tell you to come on over for some surprise Macbeth.

I never actually made plans beside the initial "we should do this" stage.
In other words, chum, I was expressing my interest in the activity. No concrete plans were made.

You are a flake because you called it "all my time playing video games"
Go be a normalfag somewhere else you flakey cunt

My job is on call?
Not everyone works as a shitty wage-slave.

By that logic you can never make any social commitments ever because you might get called into work at any moment.

>wage-slave
>called and forced to work at random hours instead of a fair, set timetable
Holy shit you are a retard, how the hell is set work hours worse than literally being called upon like a puppy whenever your boss feels like it.

smh go fuck yourself tbh fam
They're ill-suited for MP anyway. Too easily solved (and random) to offer a meaningful degree of PvP challenge, you'll struggle to find a game speed that fits everyone etc.

Not to mention the netcode on everything besides EU4 is shit, and EU4's isn't great to begin with.
