I hope it doesn’t eat into devtime on Stationers, I love that game, even if I’m terrible at it.

That might be what the disagreement here is. The sentence is very ambiguous because its not literal, though it can be read literally as you did. The poster is saying “I’m the dumb one for being the only one working in valve who is reachable by the public directly through social media.” Your interpretation isn’t wrong, but without the wider context of shorthand speech patterns you get from English as a first language, it can be difficult to figure out the implied message. English has a funny habit of saying one thing, but meaning another thing.

Is English your first language?

What is Genesis?

I mean, I dont disagree that the concept is insanely idiotic but all they’ve done in the purge is take the concept of a pogrom and applied it to modern day america. The premise isn’t that rediculous. It has happened, in real life. Yeah they’ve leaned into it, and dialed up the crazy fevor a bit, but its not so removed from real life accounts of pogroms.

Oh you fucker, its been over ten years. i just lost The Game.

You’ll need to get WinAmp installed then my friend.

A Mob is a Mobile OBject!

I suppose it can’t build up enough speed by going in direct line out of the solar system as the falloff would mean there’s not enough “runway” so to speak. But I wonder if you could circle the sun and “tack” like a ship does sailing into the wind and build up more momentum that way?

I dont know where this OP is living but having a million Euros in savings is definitely NOT normal, nor is it “middle-class”. Yes the houses can cost that much, most are mortgaged and the owners saddles with half a million in debt, desperately hoping for the prices to rise to make a profit. And there’s a significant housing shortage in several western euro countries too.

Wow that’s an old one, I have seen that since probably 2005-2006? Did you have it to hand or go looking for it specifically?

I am once again asking you to have revelations about the nature and size of the universe, and your frightful place therein.

I had seen the hate before and foolishly just assumed he was deserving of it. Its a horrible situation he’s in and he is being cast in a bad light because he reached out for help.

I’m kind of in the same boat as you. My mainstay for the longest time was RockPaperShotgun, probably from 2008–2016 or thereabouts. Once the old guard left the quality of the site drastically changed, and it became significant shallower in terms of reviews. Not really sure where to get the same kind of journalism these days.

Me too. I laughed like a maniac at it and then felt bad I had no one to share the joke with.

Dublin-step

I went to a house party once that was a lot of different nationalities of Europeans. Two French guys got increasingly drunk and belligerent about the aesthetic quality of French churches versus Irish churches. To the point they had to he asked to leave because they were close to starting a fight. I’ve met several frenfh people over the years and theres always some spontaneous comparison between something in france vs here. OPs story is not so far fetched.

Hold up, tracking pixels? What the fuck is that and how do I disable it.

Microwave repair can actually be quite dangerous if I understand correctly, as they can hold a residual charge which can be very harmful if you short it.

Is that you Doug? Meep Meep!
