We’re all suffering under the status quo in different but equally horrible ways. Women are told to be , subservient, and likable or they’ll bee seen as catty bitches who need to get laid. Men are told to be loud, brash, and to smear their balls on everything lest balls be smeared on them magically making them beta…

Look we Jews have a LOT of rules we gotta follow and not all of them are really built for the modern world. I mean pig won’t kill you anymore, and neither will boiling beef in milk and honey. Similarly most of us don’t freak out when we see a woman (the fucking Ultradox still do, but those fucks are named after power…

Bloodless break ups happen, and having a friend who KNOWS you can be really great. People gotta not be petty shits about it though so I guess that part can be hard!

I’m a boy. I am currently winding down a run of therapy for the need to be likable and pleasing to others. Some of us fall into that trap as well, but I’m a feminist too so I figure it’s a good trade off.

Oooh! this thread sounds like fun!

Leaving behind games isn’t a “baby’s” more or a death sentence. I grew up playing Nintendo titles. Did Nintendo grow with me? No. And that’s ok. I broadened my palette and looked else where. I’m better and more rounded for it.

I don’t get NEARLY enough opportunities to link this:

CHROMATIC ABERRATION IS MY FETISH.

Ghad damnit I was aiming for 8th...

The Prestige.

I would actually have a use for a shit ton of stuff there... a sketching pencil you cotton to is worth its weight in gold.

Hmm, I do love me some cod...

YOU DON’T KNOW HER LIKE I DO!

I will always have a soft spot in my skull for the audio diary by the scientist in System Shock 2 who had the job to clean up after the hundreds of monkeys that were brought on board the Vaun Braun. It was such a humanizing complaint and gave a welcome bit of grounding to a plot that was literally a trillion light…

Whelp, that was fast. Good call Hydroxide.

Also real question Patricia (no hate if you don’t respond or there’s a legit reason I don’t know), why are my comments still gray across the Gawker sites? Did I piss someone off or not take part enough to register as not an asshole?

Just checking because I might have been on a break when the memo was handed out, but are we not talking about the most incredible joke that was ever told?

Please let From’s next Souls title be “Guzzle Spiders”.

That was a fucking awesome conversation and I stand corrected in many ways. I’ll read up on this information, but for the moment I’m holding an optimistic point of view about it. The system worked soundly for Team Fortress 2 and various other products that Valve has released. We’ll see where this experiment goes in…

Thanks again for the replies Hydroxide! I’m getting a much better understanding of your view point, and I think you’re right, I did miss the nuance of your initial description of ‘utility’.
