lmao dead country in less than a decade
the people saying that the US will decay over a long period of time like the roman empire will be correct, because the hells you'll see would seem to indicate this should have fallen apart much faster
it isn't gatekeeping. I'm listening to someone say "they're toxic because I don't like what this game specifically provides and they don't agree". This is like a street fighter player walking up to a Guilty Gear player and being like "you guys are assholes, I hate roman cancels".
also like good, I don't mind that people play ff14, you're not toxic because you prefer the only somewhat decent AAA MMO. A large playerbase doesn't mean the game's "better", it's whats the hot new thing that looks sick and all your friends are playing and you see ads for all the time.
it's by far NOT WoW's biggest problem, but in an ideal world it would be. WoW's much worse at creating player interaction than even FF14, and every step of the way, in what was the most accessible MMO at the time, the playerbase was like "this is a terrible idea". Cross server play should have never come to WoW. Don't even get me started on instant-cap tokens. If you want to get to another continent, you should have to pay a mage, play a mage, or wait for the goddamn boat.
We can see the damage these qol features like a group finder can do if not implemented with the rest of the game's systems in mind, this isn't a "well, it might work out this time". Xi is right and fuck video games, but multiplayer games like these have the chance to be the only really decent thing about gaming. You create an online social structure that can and has, in many cases, has turned into real life support systems. The real FF11 is literally the friends you made along the way. So no, I don't really respect any opinion that's like "these players are toxic because they didn't let their community get shattered with a series of menus for a 3 month player uptick and then record lows". That's just nonsense that people are going to read and look at this genuinely beautiful social experience and think to themselves "wow, what a piece of shit, never looking at that game."
Also I think toxic is just a useless buzzword at this point. Like, at some point you could call League players toxic and it meant something, but if toxic is "I don't get this and I don't like it", why have the discussion at all? Dark Souls players are toxic because I think that game's bad.
what can I say, ff11s playerbase is toxic
skullgirls got me into fgs, but there's a world of difference between SG players and skullfans
I'm just asking for the weather officer you don't need to get upset about this
if it's classified you don't have to tell
hows the weather in langely?
It might just be a personal thing but that really burnt into my head "you cannot work with/trust anyone who has anything but an actively hostile relationship with the police. They are your enemy and will hurt you given the chance." Like I've never liked police prior, and the previous events of the summer didn't help, but that broke part of the social contract permanently. It's gotten to the point where in the various hobby communities I'm involved in, I'll blatantly try to get them expelled even if I gotta lie. We gotta carve these people out of society like an infected growth in your foot.
Kicking me out of where I was staying on Christmas to spend the holiday in a bus station did less than seeing those clips for some reason.
anyone else remember when a bunch of citizens found a child trafficking house and lost kids, and the cops burnt the place to the ground
MPD are all pedophile fucking freaks
who cares, they don't have to disclose real numbers to anyone
they can say 100 million watched and nobody can call them out, that's the beauty. Even if they could, nobody wants to kill the golden goose.
I work third shift at a hotel. I don't really have coworkers and show up to work visibly, out of my gourd, "please tell me you didn't drive here" fucked up every day and just game or paint miniatures. It doesn't do much beyond paying the bills but it's stable. Nobody wants to fuck up their sleep schedule, so if you show up and don't steal out of the cash register you're untouchable. Nobody's around to breathe down your neck and you can rain hell down on the customers if they get an attitude.
It's the position you wash up into if you live in burgerland and don't have an excuse to get on disability/have wealthy parents to leech off of. I haven't been able to hold any other job without having a mental breakdown after 6 months. It's wild how your overall mental health improves when you don't dread going into work every day. The isolation absolutely isn't for everyone, though. You gotta be the specific type of person who's very OK with being alone for an extended period of time.
I'd go so far to say it's better than most catholic fish frys.
you won't shit for like two days but like it has flavor
I like fast food, you know that stupid shit like the Wendys cum burger that nobody ever really orders? I order that.
I hate the moderation of this website and try not to use it but it's a good source for news
I once stole $600 from someone in HS that was really nice to me just to get a 3DS that I later broke trying to softmod before they were really ironed out
I will almost certainly not be useful in any socialist project because unionized industries that could be pushed further to the left and coerced into gaining more autonomy require working 40 hours a week and I will never work a real job again god willing. by the way if you're confused where to go next politically, that should be your #1 consideration almost over an org.
I cried multiple times at Steven Universe and want to fuck Pearl.
I once got suspended from school because I used to do the Phoenix Wright "Objection" point all the time and someone thought it was a nazi salute
my favorite live album is "Our Live Album is Better Than Your Live Album" by Reel Big Fish, god what a fucking banger
Star Trek Lucy is my balls lmao
I'm just glad that someone's getting paychecks at this point
if you still have any residual faith in media being good you're a fucking idiot who deserves to be disappointed. At least with slop, some boom mic operator gets to keep food on the table.
AND THEY SHALL KNOW NO AGE OF CONSENT
and at this rate, all 3 are Sears
