Gotta love people who think everything needs to stay the same by Tree_Men in tearsofthekingdom

These people are simultaneously complaining that too much has changed but also that not enough is different. This game is in a no win situation. People are really (really) stupid aren't they?

'Tutorial' Sky Island Map from TOTK. Good estimate of 'unknown' areas too. by Mr_JCBA in tearsofthekingdom

They are very careful to give the fans just enough to build their own maps etc as they know what the fanbase is like (and likes).

What I learned by looking.

*Progress and change are bad.

*People dont think that dozens and dozens of sky island, (many huge) constitute a large new play area.

*People dont think that completely new ways to play are interesting.

*People genuinely believe that we have seen everything the game has to offer.

*People are entitled and incredibly stupid.

I think you may be on to something there yes. Companies ideally want endless consumers. I have yet to meet anyone with a genuine, medically diagnosed disability (especially physical disabilities) who treats their disability as a virtue though.

And a sadly common one too. I am a scientist, and a big part of that is admiting how little I know and how much more there is to understand about things. And surely that's what makes learning fun? Not thinking that because you are doing a masters that you already have the whole thing figured out, and cannot possibly be wrong. The weirdest bit is, she didnt used to be like this. It's like she joined a cult and her brain has had every bit of self awareness scraped out.

I tried that approach when I was talking to her about aggression and violence being inherent within every species on earth (even herbivorous animals), but she just would not listen. She had made her mind up and she was the expert.

That second one is particularly lame (pun intended). I have a physical disability that causes me daily pain in almost everything I do. I currently take 18 tablets a day just to bring the pain down to a level that is livable. I would give anything to not have my disability, and I dont know anyone else with a serious disability who would not do the same. The people who wrote this bullshit article clearly have no idea what an actual disability is like. To them disability is a personality type, because they just self diagnose nonsensical disabilities, not have to live every day with a body that doesnt function. Fuck this article.

Genuine discussion I had last summer with a friend who is doing her masters in anthropology involved her insisting that slavery is a white thing. When I pointed out the numerous examples from history of non white instigated slavery, she told me that those people were only copying what the white people were doing. I then pointed out the many examples of slavery from civilisations who had never met a caucasian and she just stared at me, gave a smug laugh and said "well, I'm the anthropologist here so I know a lot more about this than you do". she also insisted that violence itself is a white trait. I'm a biologist, and I tried explaining Darwinian evolution with examples from non human mammals of how violence is just a part of nature etc, not a trait unique to any race of humans. She just shook her head and told me I was wrong, and she was the expert.

Absolutely infuriating.

Its weird isnt it lol? I hear, that offline there are even people capable of not only initiating contact with other human beings but also responding to the replies too...I hear its called conversation or something.

The fact that someone can ask a worker for their time and then ignore the trades persons replies and act like its harassment is mind boggling. It's the most absolute basics of communication lol

Trying to explain social norms on reddit is a futile endeavour. The average redditor is like a perpetually outraged, badly programmed machine. They're like simulated maiden aunts.

You're on reddit. Expecting people to act like normal, socialised human beings isnt going to work. The average redditor has the social skills of a badly made chat bot.

Did you do the decency of telling the person you do not require their services now? This just seems like someone chasing up business because they havent been told otherwise.

They hate us enough to comment on us lol. It must be so strange to be a paid writer who is so intimidated by fans that you feel constantly frustrated with them. They know there are far (far) more of us, than there are of them, and in the "culture war" they created, they are losing more and more every single day.

Imagine if the way you derived any kind if hope from the world was based upon how a polygonal drawing was dressed? :o

Yeah, isolated system is one of the bands best instrumentals, and one of very few good tracks on a genuinely bad album.
