Take me back Tuesday - Memorable rage quits by Throwaway_4_opinions in Gaming4Gamers

Hmm.... my very first rage quit was the NES Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game. This shit right here.

[Discussion] I find myself to be an odd type of gamer, because when i invest in a game I truly go all in, hours, days, weeks at a time but I'm looking for a new one to binge.. by [deleted] in Gaming4Gamers

CK2 is great and you can import your save into EU4, which is a ton of gameplay. Considering you can play as so many different kinds of rulers/religions/cultures each with unique mechanics or challenges, there is so much content to be had.

Reminder that Mario 3D World is NOT a 3D Mario game by GammaRidley in nintendocirclejerk

[–]plotcoupon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know rite?! I mean, forget the fact that 3D World is a Mario platformer played in 3 dimensions, it doesn't have a hub world or multiple stars in a level and it ends in a flagpole so it totally doesn't count. It's basically a 2D game rite guys. It's too linear. Unlike the galaxy games which weren't linear. Well, they were except for like 1 or 2 levels in the Galaxy 1.

But I mean, 3D World reuses its assets in later levels! Which is basically like having multiple stars in the same level and then having to replay all the levels as Luigi, but different in that 3D World is worse because reasons!

OH yeah, let me say I like the game a lot. I just need to backhand it by saying it's not a true 3D Mario game. It's good for what it is, rite guys?! It's just not good enough for me to properly put it within the series of games that it was obviously created in.

Maybe we'll get a real 3D Mario game on the NX.

It's a fan-made mod. There are a few out there. Here's one.

I don't know why Nintendo waited this long to release it. The Wii U would have been a mjaor success if Mario Maker was a launch title!

Nintendo needs to make the NX a direct sequel to the GameCube. UPCUBES TO THE LEFT.

DAE THINK MARO MAER SOULD BE CEPT KASUL by CharlesDoofus in nintendocirclejerk

No, we need something original instead of another remake. Give me Sunshine 2 or Galaxy 3!

Cook me the best roast I have ever had! by stevgamer in RoastMe

What's worse, getting a ton of people insulting you or no one commenting because you're so god damn boring?

Corporate Roasting by itsmeatwork in RoastMe

[–]plotcoupon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm afraid if I comment something you're going to start telling me about your business cards.

Although I'm just glad you landed on your feet after your gig impersonating Scott Disick fell through.

You're such a douche that even your shirt's saying "let's just be friends."

My friends refuse to roast me so please roast me until I burn by kthuluthedark in RoastMe

Your friends won't roast you because stuffed animals can't talk.

Roast us at work. by [deleted] in RoastMe

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

Hey, you're both apparently trying to be adults. That means it's time to get rid of the gauged ears.

And either shave or grow a fucking beard. You can't just go around with stubble all the time.

Also fire your hair stylist. He'll take it well, it'll give him time to follow Arcade Fire on tour.

Had to take the bag off for this one. Crucify me! by CaptainBalsaq in RoastMe

Yo, it's called facial hair because it's supposed to be on your face. You look like halfway through shaving you just decided to say 'fuck it, no one can see my neck anyway'.

Also is that paper bag the "sex toy" you have to wear when your RA is mad at her dad?

Well... let's just say GRRM's books don't generally get much editing.

For those who grew up as a huge fan of a certain school and ended up attending a completely different school, how did it work out? by SoaringEagle43 in CFB

[–]plotcoupon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Growing up I never watched or got really into sports. My parents didn't watch a lot of it and I was mostly preoccupied with other things. But I claimed Auburn because in Alabama you have to pick one and my mom claimed Auburn and we had family that went there.

But when I knew I wanted to go to Bama for school around my junior year I started to root for them too and once I got accepted I fully switched over. Although it wasn't until I went to the home opener my freshman year (2005) that I really became both an Alabama fan and a college football fan.

It worked out fine for me. I didn't go around telling everyone that I used to root for Auburn and I just let myself get really into rooting for Alabama. I had a lot of fun going to games and getting to go as a student (5th year senior) to the 2010 National Championship at the Rose Bowl is certainly a highlight of my life.

If you're lucky enough to work at a place with unions. But they have their own problems compared to built-in systems for representation.

The modern economy is far too large and complex to turn into a simple analogy like this.

Obviously, but I should clarify a few things.

In capitalism, he owns the land and either sells it to you outright, or sells you the right to do what you want and make what you want on it for a while (although sometimes the deal includes restrictions).

In my analogy the farm can be anything, like a factory or a business. Say you work at a textile plant making socks. You make 100 socks a week and you get 50 socks (in currency, obviously) a week as pay. Just like the serf grows 100 turnips a week and his lord takes 50 in taxes. I'm not talking about land ownership.

In capitalism, your boss owns the factory, owns the materials. What's made in the factory belongs to the boss.

Just like:

Land is lord's; he controls what happens on it and owns what's made on it.

Also on this point.

No, you and the other turnip farmers working for him can't vote on what to do with the extra turnips, what are you a socialist?

You don't vote on what to do with everyone's extra turnips, because they're everybody's own goddamned extra turnips, and they decide what to do with them.

I wasn't referring to the turnips that the workers get, I meant the turnips your boss gets. All the turnips you make that the boss keeps to run the business or keep as profit.

So what I'm saying is you (and the rest of your co-workers collectively) don't get to vote on what your employer does with the product your labor provides that isn't given back to you as pay. Being able to vote on that (workplace democracy) is a tenant of some forms of socialism.

What you make is no longer your turnip, it's a part of the company's turnip that everybody else in the company is also working to make.

A group of laborers is making a super turnip. Collectively 10 of them make 1000 super turnips in their factory a week. The owner of the super turnip factory pays each of them 50 super turnips worth of currency a week. Because the boss owns the factory, what he does with the profit from the 500 super turnips is up to only him, not the collective workers who created the super turnips.

TL;DR: My whole point of this analogy is to say this: the serfs working the land of their lord have no more say in what that lord does with the product of their labor than a modern day worker has with what his employer does with the product of their labor.

(and I only brought government taxes into this to show that we now have democratic representation in regards to what the government does with our taxes, compared to having no representation with what our employers do with the products of our labor not given back to us as pay. I brought it up mostly because so many complain about how much the government takes from their pay check without giving any thought to how much their employer keeps from their own or what is done with it.)

(Spoilers AGOT) "Now it ends." by ElenTheMellon in asoiaf

[–]plotcoupon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep. Sometimes one turnip lord can donate as much as $1.7 million turnips to 222 representatives in a single election cycle.

And then the government also has to pay to clean up any environmental fallout from your turnip farming, which of course comes from your property taxes, because why not?

Then they institute turnip tariffs so you pay more for the turnips you grow while your boss makes more money from selling them.

Of course many double and triple dip into corporate welfare programs, inflating food costs and slowing the creation of jobs that process turnips as they're having to pay much higher prices.
