    You ask a bunch of questions about a task in order to convince the client that the task doesn’t need to be done at all.

    I ask a bunch of questions because I’ve forgotten half the answers already and am trying to make enough stick that I can make something close enough they don’t notice my attention is wandering while they blather.

    We are not the same.



  • Is it original? Not even a little.

    But that’s why we have come to expect it at least once in any game with waterfalls.

    Honestly, I’m cool with it being an explicitly empty chest. Like put a journal next to it of some guy who looted it and left a note taunting anyone who thinks such an obvious place to hide treasure would remain un-looted. (and then let me track them down and stab them a bit for the taunt)

    So many options, and all it takes is putting a lil something something behind some water curtains.

    If your game has 10,000 I expect to find something interesting behind at least one. And as long as there’s one, I’m content.

    And I will still check the other 9,9999 even after being told there’s nothing else.




  • This is exactly the dumb shit take from y2k.

    I Still hear people go on about how “it was supposed to be this big thing and then nothing happened! Smart people are so dumb!”

    Yeah nothing happened because a lot of smart people worked very hard to fix the goddamn problem, you fucking shitwaffle.

    Here? “You dum dums got so worked up thinking it would pass and then it didn’t, so the freak out was for nothing!” yeah it didn’t pass because a lot of Europeans got very upset about their governments trying to spy on them harder than ever.

    I’m not European, so I can’t say how people talked about it openly on the metro with random strangers, but online? People were vocal and pissed. A PROPER government (lol can we have some of that functioning democracy please) listens to its people. This was them listening to the people.

    The people’s reaction was appropriate, and necessary. And shouldn’t be lessened just because “lol you guys got so propaganda’d and it was obviously never gonna happen and I knew cause I’m so smart” is quite the take on things.

    Well since the US government doesn’t own a massive body of water, nor can it truly claim to own a mountain that’s been around for 200 million years (I’m not sure of the actual age of the range, I’m just basing off geologic maps of bedrock age) , i hold the “new names” in the same regard as I would if someone intruduced themselves as Bill but some guy keeps yelling at me “HER NAME IS AMY DON’T CALL HER BILL”

    I give the crackhead down the street who calls the three block area his “domain” more respect than the US regime.


  • In the current world, we don’t care about what you should and shouldn’t do to protect yourself, but only about what appears to be proper

    We can’t actually DO anything, because they haven’t officially declared an open war, and defending yourself against attacks just wouldn’t be proper

    Now please go quietly protest away from anyone that considers it an inconvenience. It’s what’s proper, you know.

    Note: I am from the US and when I say “we” I mean the collective peoples of earth, not to indicate I am from the UK.

    I used to work in a warehouse that made a HUGE deal about the employees using the proper recycling bin so the company can get a nice check from somewhere or other for “going green”

    This warehouse recieved thousands of pallets every day.

    Each pallet is wrapped with hundreds of square feet of plastic wrap.

    Each box is individually wrapped with maybe 10ftsq-50 depending on size.

    Each box contains goods in plastic bags. Many of them with plastic clamshell packaging.

    The products get unwrapped, and placed in larger boxes on shelves.

    When the items get distributed to stores, the items were put in plastic bags, boxed up and wrapped in plastic wrap, boxes placed on pallets that were automatically wrapped by machines in hundreds of square feet of plastic.

    None of the plastic from the warehouse floor is separated from the general waste.

    Remember, it’s your responsibility to reduce waste.
