More power to those who stuck with this. I really liked my time with the game but goddamn is it big. I played like 15 or 20 hours - and I was rolling through the content pretty fast (sticking to intel and story missions, collecting skill points, sometimes doing side content as I came across it) - and I still only made…

What a fucking reference. Holy shit.

But then part of me is kinda like, good for him.

Because the love doesn’t negate the frustration. It makes it worth it and manageable, but the frustration is still there, still existing with a place it needs to go. And also, the details of the frustration in the article serves to underscore the love (the more frustrating the circumstance, the more love is required…

This is kinda how my mom was. She got her license just to do it. Although, she did get a bike, but I ended up putting more miles on it than she did (which was only about five), and she was able to sell it for what she paid for it.

Of course we aren’t. If I’m getting a new cruiser, why would I buy a Harley when I can save upwards of ten grand and get...well, pretty much anything else?

Speaking of comments, re-read mine. I agreed with him :)

I also wonder about the age range of commenters. If I’m a 14 year old kid who already feels a little misunderstood by mom and dad, I’d probably find this article horrifying.

Right? I think people missed the whole “these problems don’t actually matter because I love my son more than a video game” angle.

I got the sense it was about how some parenting frustrations are insignificant, because you love your kids and them doing something that brings them joy makes those little frustrations worth it. I found it really touching. Another title for this could be “My Son is Ruining Zelda (But That Doesn’t Matter Because I Love…

I smiled and laughed the whole way through this. Your son sounds pretty cool, and the fatherly love expressed here was incredibly touching, and really emphasizes the things that truly matter when it’s so easy to get caught up in the little frustrations that, in reality, are pretty insignificant. Thank you for that.

Best I can tell from my time on the internet, we’re not allowed to like anything.

I drank all the booze in that county, I’m pretty sure haha. I have vague memories of the incident. But I was the type of person who drank till blackout and would keep right on going. It probably didn’t help that I’d just finished watching the first 4 seasons of Weeds. Pretty sure that had something to do with it.

You’re oversimplifying it by taking a linear, “1+1=2" stance on something that is actually wildly irrational. Alcohol isn’t some magic truth serum just because knocking back a few causes someone to let their guard down, and although it has the capacity to be true in certain situations, the “a drunk man’s words are a…

Probably so! I was commenting on Matt’s oversimplification of what alcohol does (or can do) to a person, rather than what this says about Leboeuf.

I pretty clearly stated I was not making a point about Shia Leboeuf, and that he could be rascist as shit for all I know (or care); rather, that your notion of alcohol’s affect on a person is flawed and oversimplified.

Pretty dedicated to that oversimplification thing, huh? Alright.

It’s always baffled me how people can look at a drunk person and think, “Oh, you can barely walk, you’re slurring your words, you’re cognitive skills are grossly impaired, you’re seeing double, and basic body functions like bladder control are at risk of failing any moment? I think now’s the time to hold you most…

My controller is actually brand new, because my most recent controller before that is broken in half in my trashcan.

Bahahaha. Sometimes I wonder how my neighbors didn’t call the police when I was playing Bloodborne.
