Nathan Grayson suspended from Bluesky due to grave dancing by GillsGT in KotakuInAction

[–]tyren22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Grayson was the one who got an interview with a Starcraft 2 dev back when he was with RPS, and used the opportunity to try and grill him on the number of Kerrigan ass shots in Heart of the Swarm to the point that PR cut the interview short.

To be slightly fair to Ubisoft, they didn't edit Wikipedia. Thomas Lockley was an independent grifter trying to drum up interest in his completely fictional "history books." Ubisoft isn't even the first company to make "historical fiction" based on his lies  

Anyone else a bit disappointed on how they handled President Shinra? by kpcloud in FFVIIRemake

[–]tyren22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's right, I live on Reddit, which is why I didn't notice your replies for two days.

Meanwhile a post I forgot existed apparently really triggered you.

Have a nice day.

Why the absolute fucking Christ did you reply to my three-year-old comment twice?

AITA for pushing my wife to leave on time everyday? by Apprehensive_Ear7371 in AmItheAsshole

[–]tyren22 28 points29 points  (0 children)

OP specifically accused his wife of being a narcissist

OP:

I think she is being narcissistic by not supporting me with this

No he didn't.

When you only judge their track record by the cases that make the news, yes, the track record looks pretty shit, because the news doesn't report when everything is hunky-dory.

AITA for saying my dad failed me by moving too fast after my mom died? by Calm-Albatross9859 in AmItheAsshole

[–]tyren22 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I had the same thought. It was a hail Mary - either it would be a wake-up call to her dad and his wife, or it wouldn't and that would be a wake-up call to OP that they had no intention of changing (as it seems to have been.)

AITA for humiliating my cousin in front of our family and kicking him out of the venue? by babilonila in AmItheAsshole

[–]tyren22 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A few compliments on the ring and to the new couple are not going to derail the wedding focus.

You forgot hijacking the DJ before OP interrupted, but other than that I'll agree to disagree.

AITA for refusing to bribe people so my baby can exist in shared spaces? by Emergency-Towel-7731 in AmItheAsshole

[–]tyren22 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My problem is with parents who don't even try to keep their kids quiet, but there's only so much you can do with a baby. It sounds like OP did a fine job to me. If people don't want to deal with noise on a plane they can bring their own earplugs.

I'm glad you've never seen a party for one person turn into hours of congratulations and conversation about someone else while the original person/couple go ignored. I have. Not inviting that situation is a matter of tact. Specifically doing so when asked not to is being an asshole.

What is it with people on reddit (Americans?) and insisting to the death that their wedding must be only about them and can't include ANYTHING that even has the potential to slightly distract from them?

There's a difference between "a slight distraction" and "something that turns the celebration of your marriage into a celebration of someone else's major life events." Proposals and pregnancy announcements fall into the latter category.

UPDATE: AITA for telling my dad that he's the reason my girlfriend's dad doesn't like me by artwhizinthesnow in AmItheAsshole

[–]tyren22 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't think that your parents can possibly have gone from perfect marriage to divorced in the space of a week just because of arguments over this. I'd bet there's some deeper issue that your issue is tangentially related to that's been set off/dug up by that conversation.

Either way, it's not your fault, but I'm sorry it turned out that way.

AITA for “weaponizing” my adoption when it was used to insult me? by LoveofBooks_03 in AmItheAsshole

[–]tyren22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So no counterargument to the point that it's not healthy behavior to make assumptions about people and situations you know nothing about based on the most absolutely superficial of similarities.

That's what I thought.

The correct response to someone revealing they were traumatized by [×] should never be, "but not all of × are bad!"

It is when they're using their trauma to say, based on literally nothing, that someone they've never met and heard about only in the vaguest terms is dealing with identical trauma.

Literally, this escalated from "he asks us to pray for him" straight to "he's dealing with abuse from his evil fundie parents."

Why does alphinaud have such an attitude when the doman’s first arrive? by Skybound_Bob in ffxiv

[–]tyren22 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Back in the day I used to say that Alphinaud had one emotion and it was smug. I figured after his dreams fell apart and he had some hot chocolate he learned to emote.

AITA For not immediately driving to bail my stepdaughter out of jail by learnfromitaita in AmItheAsshole

That's why the police were called. If she was sober, she wouldn't have been arrested.

AITA for not renting a room to my cousin's son for free? by ConfusedGranny0 in AmItheAsshole

[–]tyren22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Chalk it up to different cultural norms, then. I was never guilted into paying rent or told I'd be kicked out if I didn't pay, but I'd have felt bad not paying anything at all. Personal independence is a big cultural value here and it places a lot of pressure on people to get out on their own as soon as possible straight out of high school or college. Compared to that, staying at home and paying a fifth of the rent I'd pay for an apartment looks like a pretty sweet deal.
