Y2K ended up not being a huge deal because

He’d have been better to ignore them and just gone with a positive message. Pre-emptively responding to every internet troll is a terrible idea and just leaves you worse off. They win without even having to do anything.

Because I’m not selling a product and this is just a Kinja comment thread. I’ve got no skin in the game. They’re doing public relations. Vastly different standards, like going to Walmart vs going to a good restaurant.

I don’t know the game, I don’t care about the game, I will never play the game, I don’t care if it’s Epic Store exclusive, I don’t know the devs, I do think they were completely right to go Epic Store exclusive given the terms.

They weren’t being defensive - they were simply replying to all the points that often get brought up

They went to ‘You can’t complain about this because it’s not as bad as climate change.’ The Hitler thing was a joke, but pretty much the same level of ridiculousness. If you’re going to resort to that then almost anything is excusable.

The first sections are fine, ‘We are an Epic exclusive because Epic promised us a lot of money’. Great, that’s hard to turn down, we understand.  ‘Now we and our families feel more secure.’ Well good.

Long term trend is all pain - just a brief respite.

I know its fiddling while Rome burns, but I’m quite sure the reaction of rank and file to having less Management riding your ass with fake targets is ‘woohoo!’

When I take a step back and consider what I’m doing, I feel like a shameless sociopath, utterly devoid of firmly-held viewpoints or morals. I am, in practical terms, just making my character say whatever she needs to for everybody to like her.

Is it really Daggerfall if it’s not a buggy crashy mess?

He’s the new Skrillex, so it’s understandable.

In 2013, right before it hit the mainstream, one Urban Dictionary user’s early classification of egirls went, “Often seeking the attention of professional gamers. . . Live sightings of eGirls can be found at gaming LANs.”

I’ve got three strategies for the bit where I can’t get past this f@#$ing part of the game:

Hey now, it’s not just Tesla owners, Mercedes owners would do this too.  If they could figure it out, since they can’t figure out turn signals.

Sounds like Stephen R. Donaldson’s Gap books - a space opera where every single person is loathsome and unsympathetic (you may also remember him from the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, where only the protagonist is loathsome and unsympathetic, at least at first).

It’s even better because your villagers are actually helpful so it feels more like a real collaboration. With something like SDV or Harvest Moon, pretty much everyone is no use for your tedious chores. But my DQB2 villagers, they’re producing! Mostly poop, but they also plant, water, harvest, cook, even build. If a…

I live in a place where you can get Mike Hess in cans at the convenience store (or super), so that’s my go to. But Negra Modelo and Sierra Nevada are great options. A Pacifico works if you just want a mild lager. Absolutely no Corona because it will be completely skunked from sitting under the flourescents if you buy…

Simplest way to think about it: ALL the energy that would have gone into sending the arrow the distance of a football field - and still have enough energy left over to kill an elk - goes into the bow instead.

‘A CHEVY?!?’ *storms out of the theater*
