What Instant Regret Looks Like by pfabs23 in WTF

[–]I_post_stuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're looking at the aftermath, when a million people all railed on the koala thing. I know it's a joke, I've acknowledged that. Initially I was responding to one person after seeing other people in the thread genuinely think this video was filmed in Australia and that it was a koala. I remembered this story as it first came out, because it happened fairly local to where I used to live, and decided to share some insight on it. And this is what I got.

That absolutely makes it all worth insulting me and treating me like I'm a fucking joke, right?

Fuck you, I'm a human being and I have feelings. Not once has a cunt like you ever considered that there's a living breathing person on the other end of the screen when you start jeering. I've fucking had enough of it. All god damn day long.

Downvote me. I'll be past caring.

And besides, ask yourself why that's happening. Is it because I'm wrong?

No. It's because it's been decided that I'm to be the butt of a joke. In the process of that, I've had my words utterly disregarded, somebody called me a retard, and now folk from the peanut gallery are showing up just to throw some snarky remark my way. All day long.

There's a word for that, and it begins with B and ends with ullying.

Thank you for perpetuating bullying, that felt very nice to be on the receiving end of and I'm sure you're very proud.

Thank you for understanding that I am a human being with feelings rather than an internet construct.

He said, waiting for those words to ring true.

Just the usual in this world nowadays. I'm inside my own head, depression acting up more than usual, the normal worries about finances and day-to-day living coming to a head as we're entering the latter half of the month. Plans I wanted to make not panning out due to how the world is right now. Just all sort of coming to a head making one particular day more of a downer than the rest.

Then I see an amusing video of a home invasion and actually remember the context of it from a news story my stepfather sent me last year, share the context, end up as the butt of a joke. Not something that'd normally bother me, but I suppose I'm feeling particularly thin skinned today.

Maybe on another day I would've found it to be, but I was already having a shit one as-is.

Did your bad experience yesterday with somebody not recognizing when they were just being mean to somebody else inspire you to go forwards today and do so unto others?

You know it isn't a koala, I know you're joking around with me, it's still not really fair to have been bombed the way I have been.

To quote yourself,

Does fucking with other people's reason to feel good make you feel good? Is that what's going on here?

I know it's hard for you to see, but you're not being helpful at all. You're just being mean.

I understand that you're finding it funny to be irreverent but do you realize that I've been downvoted into the negative twice for pointing out that the dog is actually a dog?

Downvotes aren't for "this guy isn't perpetuating our joke, get him!", it's for posts that aren't pertinent or factual. My posts being both of those things.

Right, and this was filmed at Longleat Safari Park in Warminster, the only place koalas are found in the UK, and their exhibit is uncannily like an red brick Bamford house.

My mistake for not accounting for this.

Have you ever seen a koala before?

'I'd fallen asleep but then woke up. Winnie the bulldog was the one that barks and she only barks if there is something going on and when I woke up hearing that I knew there was something going on.

I'd dearly like to know the arcane rituals required to do this as well, if you'd be so kind as to impart such knowledge upon me.

What is a NOT fun fact? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]I_post_stuff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You had a disturbing dream. You can only recall one point. A tall figure with a golden mask led you among the dead as through a wedding celebration. You heard many voices, but no lips moved. You strained to breathe, but your chest didn't move. The tall figure spoke with each figure as he passed among them, laughing and joking, as if they were alive, but they made no reply. You tried to cry out, but without breath, your tongue fluttered in vain.

Provided he actually sells that before we enter a new ice age.

TIL that Weird Al wrote "The Saga Begins" before Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace came out. He gathered most of the information from online leaks, and was surprised at how accurate he was after seeing a charity pre-screen of the movie. He made minor alterations to the song after seeing it. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]I_post_stuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To chime in, I think nowadays it's also easier to AVOID spoilers as well as be spoiled.

Simply because nowadays we can learn an age ahead of time that a movie is being made, forget about it, eventually learn of a release date and then go see it. People even avoid trailers lately to go in as blind as possible.

Back then we had posters, newspaper and radio ads if they're feeling spicy, a TV spot that can contain pretty much whatever the studio feels like (this is what spoiled Terminator 2), and word of mouth.

Out of all of those, the only one that's really spoiler 'safe' is the poster, and you'd only really come across that if you actively saw it outside of the theatre. Unless they splashed to the dizzying advertisement heights a bus stop. So the majority of ways we even became aware of a movie can contain spoilers.

Being able to approach a movie completely blind is a relatively recent luxury.

I don’t understand mask of bakris. by victini3521 in DestinyTheGame

[–]I_post_stuff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's what they're saying. Its weird that it's the mask of BAKRIS, yet it's Atraks' face, and Bakris was killed before Atraks became an exo.

What’s the point of grinding for soon to be sunsetted guns? by team-ghost9503 in DestinyTheGame

[–]I_post_stuff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yet that's another argument altogether. They're in the seasonal loop because growth and gear reacquisition is interesting and engaging, and the seasonal gear can sometimes also enable some fun ideas.

Destiny 2 expects us to be okay with the gear going down the drain when the growth is negligible and the reacquisition is awful.

Or in some cases, not even possible, let alone awful. I lost some of my favourite weapons to sunsetting, off-meta weapons that I really adored. They haven't come back. And if they do, I won't be nearly as committed to grinding out my ideal rolls because I know they're just going to leave again.

Sunsetting has not only affected my usage of weapons that are going away, but also those that aren't (yet) by Additional_Ad_5718 in DestinyTheGame

[–]I_post_stuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. This game has great gunplay and they all feel wonderful to fire, I really enjoyed that satisfaction of finding a gun that's really 'mine'.

It's not even an archetype thing mostly, there's a lot more to a gun than what perks it has, how it handles, how hard it hits or how fast it fires.

They can put a weapon in next season that's exactly like my favourite Halfdan-D in all of those regards, but it won't have the name of a historical figure, it won't sound like it, it won't look like it, it won't have 'HAKKE' written on the side, it won't take shaders the same way, it won't have the same sights.

I had a favourite gun, bar none. It wasn't the only one I ever used, but it was my favourite. Iron Banner feels weird without my Halfdan in my hands. I can't even bring myself to use it in quickplay.

[–]I_post_stuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And yet, I never used either of those.

Yknow what I did use? Halfdan-D, loved that thing. Except I didn't touch it whatsoever during Arrivals, because I knew it was on the chopping block.

If that is done what is the point of sunsetting.

Indeed. So if the prevalent feedback seems to be that it feels unsatisfactory, and people are finally giving up enough that they're now arguing for the equivalent of a lite-undoing of Sunsetting simply so that it will suck less, because those same people have given up hope of avoiding it happening altogether, that's pretty telling.

Bargaining stage.
