Not really? They tried to make Real ID mandatory, and have everyone use their real names in games, which would have opened up a whole other world of harassment.

If it weren’t free to play, maybe you’d have that “right”, but even then, you either accept their terms of service, or you don’t play, it’s as easy as that.

No problem :) Another weird side effect of that is that the name tends to appear bigger in the screen that shows you the team composition, before starting a competitive match (team rank and individual ranks). :))

That’s the font that’s used when the player you eliminated has a name with special characters in it (in this case it might be cyrillic).

I’m not particularly disagreeing with your point, but in being a pragmatist, I think there is a threshold where the effort to rehabilitate someone outweighs any potential benefit that person might bring to society, outside of society itself feeling good about the rehabilitation. And that is IF they can be…

I’m pretty sure I’d have a full blown panic attack around that K’Nex display, by virtue of just imagining all the different ways I’d be a total klutz and unwittingly destroying dozens of hours of work by tripping on those cables or anything of the sorts.

Sure, you won’t be as passionate after 5, 10, umpteen years, but when I referred to it as auto-pilot I meant people who basically don’t even care whether the other person is there or not, not necessarily having the honeymoon phase pass. I agree on the rest of the paragraph, as it falls into relationships requiring…

I don’t quite understand how you arrive at the conclusion in your first sentence. How does one get from being in a relationship they very much enjoy in the first year, to a zombie relationship at a five-year (or x-year) mark? I’m not saying it’s impossible, but I doubt it’s “probable” either. I think you took the…

All relationships aren’t created equal, though, just like people’s views on them aren’t, either. A one year relationship you’re very invested in may matter just as much as a 5 year relationship where both people are in auto-pilot mode. So discounting anyone who believes different as insane is a bit presumptuous. I’m…

Official figures for how long battery life is on any given portable device is generally a pretty optimistic estimation, and also doesn’t factor in a whole lot of stuff, like Wi-Fi being turned on, screen brightness, etc. (you did mention screen brightness). And just because we have a figure for one or a handful of…

There are a lot of times I’m not entirely sure what Nintendo’s demographic really IS anymore (3DS notwithstanding).

I still don’t think that justifies piracy, though. Maybe when you’re underage and don’t know the value of work quite so well, but after you’ve gotten a job and can relate to how it would feel for someone to steal your work because “they can’t afford it”, the whole things starts to become harder to justify. Video games…

“Trump actually likes America and wants to see us all succeed.“

While I don’t know the specifics, I guess they went with the fact that directional controls weren’t usually the object of split second input, while pressing A or B were generally pretty time sensitive with certain games, when used as jump/attack/some other action.

Even though he looks undoubtedly cool, I still can’t get over the godawful name of King King (Regis), kind of like how I cringe when I hear people say salsa sauce. It’s a small gripe but it just takes me out of it every single time.

You say that, and I agree with you for the most part, but Age of Extinction actually had me burned out on robots punching each other with explosions... That and all the characters are so duuuuuuuumb. I can live with a paper thin plot, but every one of the characters is so god damn cringeworthy it hurts.

Eh, not really, though? They pretty much always queue in 6-man parties, so no one gets saddled with them on a team, and the other guys always win the match. Aside from the occasional point where they ended up spawn camping the other team even when playing shitty, they mostly gimp themselves to a level where they don’t…

No no no, it’s celebrating someone for succeeding at being the worst at a game, at least as far as ranking goes. :))

See, that’s what happens when you don’t reply “i hanjo” to all their namecalling. The best way to beat bullies is by not caring :))
