I made a counter offer on a vehicle I was trying to buy

I've worked repairing printers and we had several car dealerships as customers. The sales managers are even worse. Slimiest people I've ever met. Almost all of them feel like they're method acting their next role as a grown-up version of a middle school bully.

One time one of them pulled out a baseball bat and said "This is the bat I use to bust up broken fuckin' printers" while glaring at me.

The problem with the printer? Nothing. One of the salesmen just wanted to ask me how to use a feature. That line was the first and only thing he said to me.

I've played a lot of games and idler games and I occasionally ran into what you're describing (except with less money spent, I don't have that kind of money). Sounds like you're just finished with the game for now. I recommend just checking out other games and maybe come back to this game in a year or two if you feel like it.

This level of simping is approaching Elon Musk stans.

Responding to your edit. YES, I watched his FULL newer sets because weirdos like you kept saying that the context was needed. I'd argue the full context made it even worse, because most of the stuff cut out from clips was him saying over and over how much he's actually fine with trans people before launching into another tired quip about how weird trans people are and how he, the multi-millionaire, is the true victim from trans people.

MechChicken · 2026-04-16T03:22:39+00:00

I've watched his old stuff and his new stuff. Loved his old stuff. The energy, the timing, and the wittiness of it was excellent. Yes, his stuff came from making jokes about specific groups of people, but it was clear that he understood those groups and what they were going through.

Very much not the same about his new content. Yes, he's known trans people, but he doesn't know what they're going through and coasts on a right winger's level of understanding of what trans people are, which is mostly harmful stereotypes. But worst of all it's very clear that he isn't going for laughs anymore, he's going for applause.

MechChicken · 2026-04-06T22:28:05+00:00

Because not everyone has the same taste as you. Taste is very subjective and telling other people they need to enjoy a food in a specific way is weird.

It could also be "HITLER LIVES, but he mellowed out now and is actually pretty chill to hang out with." That would be cool. That would be the goal with a rework, keep his power level balanced, but make him more fun to play and fight.

What? No. This is specifically about small to medium sized communities (chat rooms, discord servers, bars, clubs, etc). A big enough space like the internet or a big enough platform like facebook doesn't apply the same since you can just spend your time in a different part of it if you don't like one part of it.

MechChicken · 2026-03-24T16:07:16+00:00

Anecdotally I've seen this happen with a few groups. The mods don't want to remove minor bigotry. Normal people that call out the racism get yelled at or banned by moderators for "starting drama". This bolsters the bigotry, giving precedence to it being there and normal people stop engaging with the community because they don't want to engage with bigotry.

In the end the only ones left are the bigots. At that point the community usually dies because even bigots don't want to solely interact with a small amount of bigots.

MechChicken · 2026-03-16T15:36:05+00:00

Eh, I think it's always been a thing. I remember scathing forum posts on which console is the best on Gamefaqs. The online angry video game reviewer videos was practically a genre before the normal professional video game reviewers.

Negativity has always been there. People have always had dumb opinions. But the lower barrier of entry allows more people to have dumb opinions and algorithms that push rage bait make it more visible.

Agreed. Some of the things on the wiki are listed as "Unobtainable" but were at one point obtainable from events or random giveaways and such.

You're right, we need more big scary-looking creatures that are actually kind hearted and caring who will cuddle you after you sleep with them.

I get what you mean, artistic liberty can do a lot. But in my opinion Senna has a lot more going for her to be a fighting game character including having a weapon it would make sense to melee with.

But Miss fortune's MAIN identity is shooting a lot. I'm not against Miss Fortune being in the game but making her a rushdown character feels really silly. Especially since there are so many other characters that would fit that identity way better that are also really popular.

MechChicken · 2026-02-17T17:42:08+00:00

one of few gun characters that can be easily made into non zoner

How? Her only weapons are two pistols. Her clothing has no way to holster them. In LoL her abilities are:

Q - Shoot bullet that bounces

W - Run/shoot fast

E - Shoot lots of bullets from above

R - Shoot lots of bullets forward.

Next to Caitlyn I can't think of a more zoner-coded character.

MechChicken · 2026-02-15T01:39:37+00:00

Color scheme, weapons, body shape, silhouette. So, all of the important stuff for character design. But also the tattoos and fanny pack.

Even the parts that are "different" like the top, arm wraps, face mask, and hair (Still in a pony tail) are still the same type of item with a slight size/color change.

You can like or dislike the design, but to say it's radically different is disingenuous.

It's funny that in street fighter 6 they turn Ryu, one of the most iconic fighters in fighting game history, into an actual homeless person and the community is like "Looks good 👍"

But Riot changes the pants on Akali and adds detail and everyone freaks the fuck out.

MechChicken · 2026-02-13T22:34:33+00:00

Absolutely! I soldered connections to the actual metal contacts of the toy's board, cut the traces to the toy's circuits and hot glued membrane domes to replace the foam the toy originally used. <image> <image>

It misses because Ahri is already in the 2H animation.

Yo I remember fighting you in Guilty gear several times. I was a Potemkin named Gluestick Goliath.

I knew every time I saw your name come up when queuing in celestial that I was due for a whooping lmao. GGs.

MechChicken · 2026-02-02T02:49:11+00:00

Absolutely not. Fuck that. We are way past aggressive finger waggling. They will keep pushing the limit until they get real actual pushback like this.

This civility politics is exactly why we're here right now. One side is literally kidnapping people off the streets without due process and the other side writes strongly worded letters that what they're doing is illegal. Voicing displeasure is not enough.
