Never thought about it

I don't really think "stop replying to them cold turkey" and "just send back low energy" are the same in terms of how it feels to the other person at all

Most people can read between the lines and get the picture at the end of the day though. Not sure what this person is like, but it's a common enough social cue to understand the connection between a permanent cold shoulder and not wanting to talk any longer. In any case, cheers to you and I hope it works out in your favor.

WotC has been chronically insane since Hearthstone became popular.

Sell your plasma, it's a real thing.

B and C are the same thing, you're just conflict-avoidant, nothing wrong with that. Go with whatever makes your life easier. No use providing yourself additional stress.

Shit, maybe he did meet me then. Considering how dead I am inside. Hahahaha.

I didn't run into you

My favorite things at raves are the silent discos. Its very futuristic idea to me. Seeing three different DJs playing and being able to switch your headphones to whichever youre vibing with at the moment is cool. And when walking by and not being a participant its a really fun sight to just see a bunch of people grooving in silence

That's quite ingenious, I'll have to keep my eyes open for one. I'm sure the energy on the floor would be pretty hectic, considering only a third (roughly speaking) of the floor at any given time would be in sync with each other.

I just got really self conscious and anxious during part of it. Felt like everyone was staring at me, judging and making fun of me.

Trust me, nobody will remember you 2 weeks from now. Half of them were rolling off molly and the other half were crossfaded

You like enriching already insanely rich institutions that used you?

Definitely agree that SMB 3 and Super Show were fun cartoons for what they were. The only one I think could legitimately be called terrible was the Super Mario World one where they made Yoshi Jar Jar Binks before Jar Jar Binks was a thing.

But the YTPs, man.... The YTPs....

You mean in a paradoxical sort of way.

Quasi-metaphorical, really

The media and politicians are really fooling people into believing there isn't a single GOP-voting pot smoker lmao

Yes, but you get to be the really ugly version, and in that, there too is beauty.

Why is GameFAQs obsessed with acting like teenage girls? I haven't seen this much drama since high school. Block and move on, you all are addicted to low-level conflict.

Hmm. I still don't know how I feel about these crossovers. Their apprehension to just go full ham and make them Standard legal rubs me the wrong way, but at the same time, I get it. I love Commander, but I'm tired of it becoming their "here's where we put all the ideas that aren't normal" format. It's kinda a shitshow at this point. But on a more positive note, they do make for some really neat collector's items and the flavor is usually magnificent. I'd much rather keep having this than Secret Lair reprints of older cards. I would probably buy every Commander deck if they do the same thing with FF that they did with Warhammer.

"we gave you a subpar education and a bunch of false expectations that set you up to do nothing, if you succeeded in spite of this, come and give us money."

Why did you pay them then? lmao I will never understand how people will complain about college, their degree, and the job it nets them. If you don't like it, there are so many options out there from trade school, to starting a business, freelancing, internships, certifications, government employment, etc; And don't let me even hear "a business takes money!" as if college doesn't itself.

Build a bond with the bacteria. Their technology and ours combined can save us all.

Half of the corporate game is garnering favor from your peers and leadership. That much is true and I don't think he's in the wrong for trying to do so. If you want to climb the ladder, you have to play the social aspect as well, being passionate about the job and doing it well is like 2/3 of the total equation. Anyway, that's kind of a side bar thing, but it does make me think that maybe he's seeing that you don't prioritize "being (most) loved and respected." It could be that he can see you don't command (directly or otherwise) respect from the rest of your team and he might have issue with that.

Now that all being said, I think it's a HORRIBLE option to assume anything of the man lol I would echo similar sentiment from wolfy and have a 1 on 1 with the guy. Mind your language, not like swearing, but avoid the "you" statements, don't make it right vs wrong, make it clear you wish to cooperate and grow as a team, etc; I'd still avoid HR at the end of the day if he just doesn't like you. It's not a fireable offense to just not enjoy everyone you work with.

Anyway, good luck to you, TC.

I'm a banana!

why would he just sign away the rights to the IP he created like that

that's what i don't get

Investors typically make some sort of stipulation. They aren't just going to freely give money/resources away like that. They likely wanted some stake in the company and threw it over internally.

Well, hopefully they'll all find someway to continue what they've been passionate about for all these years. I know this kind of outlook is super unpopular in current year, but if they are truly as heartfelt and in love with what they've made, they will absolutely find a way for it to carry on in some form. All creatives do.

you say that no one will remember it in a few weeks

some people are really happy and excited about the fact though

It was hyperbole, of course some people will remember it. To expound on that, it's more like "90% of the people annoyed by it and the people being annoyed by people being annoyed by it will soon forget it, because in a short while, some other news story about a fictional character will take all of their attention." More in the vein of that. As for those that are happy and excited, that is good and fun times for them and I wasn't meaning to minimize any of it for those people.

You can cook enough food for 3 meals on 10 dollars, lmao Eggs, beans, rice, and a some bell peppers go a long way.

what has triggered you about this, doesnt seem like a big deal

Nothing has triggered me about this. Typing more than 3 sentences doesn't make someone triggered lol

VampireCoyote posted...

please elaborate

Sure thing, it's just like any number of artificially hot topics that some media clowns decide to push everywhere so they can get people spun up for clicks and views for a few weeks. Just before this, it was The Little Mermaid and before that, I can't even remember anymore. It's just the Flavor of the Month topic that in a few year's time, somebody will run across it by chance and go, "oh yeah, THAT happened," and just move on with their day. I cannot fathom spending hours online talking about these kinds of things, and it's insane that people do.

"if it's too expensive where you live just manage to find thousands of dollars to move somewhere else" it's just that easy guys

You can have the courage to quote me specifically, I know you can. It's almost as if you also didn't read my posts at all where I said that I understand and have sympathy for those born into those situations and that I was addressing people who freely choose to move to a location above their financial means. Anyway, forgot to untrack this topic, so I'm doing that now.

No one will remember this in 3 weeks

We should have never technologically advanced past the 1980s.

Dude I don't even live in the city. Houses and apartments within like an hour and a half of my city are all terribly priced. It's insane. But yeah, I'm not trying to move 2 hours outside of the city just to get a place because my commute would be insane

Obviously I'm not going to ask nor tell myself about living locations, but I will say I am sorry that that is the situation you're in. I don't fare well with these kinds of topics usually, so I'll see my way out and wish all of you the best moving forward.

Welcome to the modern housing crisis. It's slightly hyperbolic, but that's an accurate description of the housing situation in most major cities these days. This is why homelessness is such a growing problem and traffic is so bad,

I am aware of this and I do apologize for being flagrant in my last post. I just can't understand why people freely decide to live in cities when it's been shown time and time again that there is a sweet spot between population size and available incomes. It also has much to do with career choices as well and what not. As for those that are born into the cities or moved there as children, I do understand and am sympathetic with the overwhelming challenges that poses to them. Specifically, my beef is with the types that claim that they simply MUST live in a city because rural/suburban living is crap, then all they do is get a regular 9-5, order take out all the time, and complain about costs.

They could go for the crowdfunding if that's still a thing. Sorry for the short reply to something you typed up a lot on, I promise I did read it all haha

At least, most places within a two-hour drive of jobs that will allow you to afford half of that. You can pay less if you're willing to spend 20% of your life commuting or settle for a much lower-paying job.

Tell me you live in a shitty city without telling me you live in a shitty city.

I don't know much about IPs and whatnot, but couldn't they make another game? Or hell, write a book or a TTRPG, even? I feel like they're creative enough to do so.

You liberals are so silly. Stop drinking your $5.68 Starbucks Mocha Loca Choca FrappaprressoChino and you can save $2,073.20 a year! Thats enough for you to pay rent for *checks notes* one month.

If your rent is $2000, you need to move lol

Am I the only one who sees the irony here, in that a studio that was largely ran by people who had a particular belief about economics and policy, were ousted by a group whose views ran counter to that?

politicians only care about staying in power, and providing themselves with the means of staying in power. If that means forcing the birth of many millions of voters who'd do as they want, the so be it.

Made a correction for accuracy.

Not necessarily any activities, but specific eras for me. The exception being 90s alt rock on repeat during one of the FFXIV expansion's post game stuff.
