What a megalomaniac.

Yeah he’s inspired by a system which country banned it and yet he still wants it?

I just learned today that the concept of timezones was not invented until 1876.

That feels relatively young for something like that, I would’ve thought maybe that would’ve been a little further back.

I have two aunts, one in the UK and the other about a state away from me. I’ve known them for about 4 years and they’ve been the best aunts I’ve come to know. I used to have a chosen mother but things with her are up in the air after coming to light some very questionable content being shared on her FB that takes jabs at transgenders.

No but there are some people who tend to act holier than thou because they have hundreds to thousands of meaningless points. I find out that they tend to be uptight assholes.

That happens to me when I decide to change jobs.

“Don’t need this shitty knowledge anymore”

It’s pretty sad that some of the best, least acclaimed anyways, storytelling was buried into those shows. While everyone else at the time were trying to find them in big-budgeted movie versions and some of the books that got released that ended up being wiped into the ‘Legends’ category by Disney.

It’s a vicious cycle between rabid fans, the creators of the IPs, the outsiders (i.e corporate entities) that have long infected all of them.

I’m tired of reboots, I’m tired of made-up characters that seemingly are shat out from some kid’s imagination but it’s from an actual adult (like difference in the creative department) who only exist just to one-up the already established character. I’m tired of power-level debates that just melts your brain to numbness when trying to even engage in because they all vary wildly. I’m tired of meaningless arguments as to what origin, what canon or whatever is the real timeline of some character because they always change depending on who the hell is writing them.

It’s all gotten entirely tiresome and convoluted.

That’s sounding like Spider-Man: Brand New Day. It technically is just yet another reboot, but a “soft reboot”. Reboot is a reboot nonetheless.

Tim’s strategy seems to be “Whatever Valve drops, we take because we feel Valve is missing out on something BIG! It’ll make US look great!”

And while the sad truth of the matter could very well be a maybe, depending on how the pure-epic userbase are over there towards it, it still pales to everything Steam has been built to be.

Oh are they finally running out of that oil money they’re known for?

If so, good, stop throwing your damn weight around and contaminate whatever you touch.

When I want to quit your game, I mean it.

I do not want to be prompted several times as attempts to keep me in the game when I just want to leave.

By the way, you may never know if spanking your kids ends up turning them either into boiling teapots ready to blow or someone who may later be into it a little too much to be a porn star. Never know.

You’re on the money with this one.

ADHD, Depression and Anxiety is stupid common for this very reason. People self-diagnose themselves all of the time, too afraid to go to therapists because maybe there’s a good chance that the therapist might tell them that they’re wrong and over-blowing themselves about what they think they have.

I sympathize with actual mental health sufferers, who have had their care stalled and stagnated, because a lot of these self-diagnosing types are blurring the lines.

Then when you try educating the fakers, out come the accusations that you “hate people who suffer mentally” and that “you don’t understand.”

Oh we do, we’re waiting for you to finally come around!

I really wish this was the norm. I never understood why the lights have to be so damn bright, why the music has to be loud and repetitive and just general noise. I remember having gone to Wal-Mart when they once were 24/7 and going in at 2 in the morning to shop was pure damn bliss. Much better than the times I’ve gone in and people are stupid, noisy and in your way all of the time.

Despite Chuck Berry predating them by 2 years. Elvis, Buddy Holly and several others making their crafts.

It was exactly the same case for metal music. Black Sabbath is hailed as the founders of Metal music, but there had already been seeds planted for the genre to blossom anyways before they were a thing.

The thing about inventions is that, a fair amount of them will have a name tied to it who you’ve never ever heard before. But you’ll most likely believe the name that is tied to it but should be more credited with refining the invention to what it would be. And one poster clearly explained that.

There will always be someone somewhere inventing something, but there’s also opportunists out there ready to pounce, take up the invention, patent it before someone else does and run away with the credit.

That’s why monopolizing is bad for IPs.

Nothing is more apparent with the child and the toys analogy more than what Disney has been doing with Marvel.

Man, look at most of these well-off parents splurging on their kids. Are you sure the economy is in the sinker? /s

I’ve approached Star Wars like, there are pieces of it I really do enjoy and love. Like lightsabers, they’re fucking awesome. Some of the gadgetry, the tech and stuff is fucking awesome.

Everything else like about the whole Force thing, Sith/Jedi philosophies and everything in between, that’s neither here or there for me.

That’s the same approach I’m having with lots of other big, overinflated pop-culture things. I’m here for the appetizers, but not the entire meal.

Roblox’s problem is that it is lead by the wrong people.
