Was it subtle or are you unobservant?

This could go either way, sir.

Yeah, nope. Can't find anything I don't like here. <3

This was not a "sense of humor optional" kind of conversation.

Does anyone NOT know that at this point?

Adblock Plus. I don't hear/see ads EVER anymore.

This was less a card game and more like a strategy RPG, similar to - you guessed it - Final Fantasy Tactics.
It just wasn't a GOOD one.
I played briefly. "Brief" for a reason.

It's actually not very good at all.
I played it for about a week, struggling to get into it.

Owning a smartphone with no service (outside of wifi capable stuff)? Meh, any age...
Restrictions will be added or reduced depending on their age, though, and always monitored or checked on occasion.

One WITH service? CHEAP service when they're maybe preteen-young teen... Anything beyond that? Only once they're able…

I'll switch how I interface with my PC as soon as they develop a way for me to type without hand, mouth, or eye movements... [read: psychic]

Are you fucking kidding me?
I mean seriously, you HAVE to be joking.

I've met some petty ass holes on Kotaku before, but I must say - you take the fucking cake.

Of all the things you could hate about people (and judge as WORSE than a crippling drug addiction), you choose GAMING?! Are you KIDDING?!

Fuck. I feel MUCH…

I have so many things to say to this and just... No motivation to do it.

Just know that I half agree and half disagree. Deal?

But it's not just the lack of random character flavor that bugs me—when I play Pokémon, I find myself bored by the fact that I'm walking around with a bunch of creatures whose only way to interact with the world is to battle with other creatures. In Pokémon, your characters are cyphers, because they're animals.…

Because that's not the point of this article? The point of this article is to point out the things he doesn't like...

If it means anything; I understand what you're saying and I don't get it either...

I also understand the frustration you're undoubtedly feeling from EVERYONE misinterpreting what you're saying and attacking you about it. :p

Maybe he though it'd be more respectful to address him personally as opposed to some artificial title [read: ID] given to him by a military that doesn't care if he lives or dies?

I didn't read your posts to other people. :)
But noted.
