I also am not interested in some things other people seem to like.

Well, I mean... It’s been four years and The Division still has theirs up.

Dr needlove gives genuinely bad advice 80% of the time. I didn't even want to think about the amount of time it would take me to break down that first answer. Since you do it for me I just wanted to add that Freudian analysis of dreams is really fucking dangerous. Sometimes dreams mean something, most of the time they…

Good for you, now go grab your 50 cents, Wumao.

Even if you weren’t using bank before and want to transfer strictly from a game, I highly doubt you caught less than 30 Pokemon. Have you met a completionist that…

Paying a monthly fee for a fucking save file?
