I've read all (most?) of the comments and I wanted to add something that I think has been overlooked.

I only logged on my scoundrel, and the changes don't amount to much except for me having to reset my toolbars... and missing a few skills, but they're still enough to make me go, "meh." Ironically, I was playing like crazy for the last four months. I'd even started raiding and doing endgame stuff. I've always loved…

Maybe it wasn't them backing off. Maybe it was LucasArts not giving them permission?

I have... I think 7 level 55s? Maybe 8? Three are due to the exp boost, and it was great. Then they also redid all the trees and I just can't bring myself to log in and deal with learning a new way of playing... AND re-grinding for more gear. I want to see the new stories, I really do. But not that much.

I paid about $30 for the vintage version of that hot chocolate pot on ebay. I love the dansk stuff and am glad they are reissuing it. Look, I know it's... foolish, but this isn't le creuset.

and we have learned that you are a man oddly obsessed with stories about rape. It's good to know.

You can both be correct.

Yes. Except they are not vampires—they work in an office.

Does she not know this?

So your knickers are in a twist because you think some chick encouraged everyone to think "all men who play video games" are bad. I guess my balls must be larger than yours, dear Victim, because when I play grand theft auto I don't think "all women are hookers." In fact I mostly just don't care.

Yes, you are the most oppressed person ever. And it's all about your feelings. I'm so sorry.

I want peace in the middle east and a cure for ebola, and maybe for kids to stop shooting other kids in school. Corruption in "gaming journalism?" I'm sorry, I keep laughing at something that's so important to you. I shouldn't. It's wrong. As a strong feminist, I'm sure you're right. This is the most important issue…

You have no proof that ebola exists either, because you've never seen it—I assume? You have no proof that the moon isn't made of swiss cheese, because you've never been there. You may have no proof that women are also people, since you are obviously not one. Forgive me for making that assumption, but it seems to fit.

Why do so many dumb people have book contracts?

That sounds about right. It's an interesting variation on "blame the victim"—become the victim instead. As long as you keep telling us you're bullied and oppressed, you're free to say as many offensive and batshit crazy things as you want.

You think you're being bullied? Lol. Homeschooled, am I right?

I guess it's good that you're interacting with people. It probably helps your self esteem a great deal.

I only have my one experience as a real reference point.

The thing is by historic evangelical standards Pat's attitude is very mellow. Pat on transgender:

Agree on all counts. And I blame a deadline—had to be. The end had that, "shit, I better put some real tragedy in this so the happy ending is poignant" feel to it.
