Oh well they used to be thought of as AA, it at least III (lol these shorthands, man…).

They don’t really have a AAA aesthetic imho, as much as such a statement makes sense. Do you know what I mean? Like their game feels ambitious, yes, but it hasn’t been polished into a featureless sphere.

AA in the parlance

That’s a really unfortunate philosophy because at best it guarantees things never improve

I think if you could opt out of you really really didn’t want to do a particular job then it would be fine. Maybe if it’s a job that a lot of people dislike, like sanitation, you could provide an incentive to make it worthwhile - like you get the next season off.

Oh.

Well thanks anyway

Like you put the ram back in the other way - like flipping a toast halfway through toasting?

I’m still sore that column -nts, doesn’t work anymore. My mnemonic for remembering it was “unts, unts, unts” like a dance club beat.

Actually looking at the usage text I’m not sure how the -n flag ever worked for me… Maybe I’m misremembering.

Oooooo, happy for anyone experiencing it for the first time. Incredible atmosphere and style.

Yooooo. Very nice

Shit English speakers say lol

You and I have wildly different associations with this construct.

To me it sounds like silly phrasing. Just another version of “doth protest”

Pretentious though?

Good, but a fine seems like they got off easy. Someone made the decision. Where are their consequences?

Social stuff is hard for many people. I’d wager most people are not even consciously aware of social status, social transactions, etc. It’s not something that is really taught, so it’s no surprise when someone is blind to it.

But if you ever feel bad because of what someone said or did, it’s possible you’re subconsciously reacting to a threat to your status (import and safety within a group).

Why do you say you’re damaged?

It makes sense to me as a parenthetical comment

You’re probably a nice person and a decent hang. Really that’s what most people are looking for imho

Ouch. But also,

I once got angry and through a fit at a friend for buying me a surprise gift. I couldn’t even tell you why, but I was very upset.

Try not to put too much stock in the bubbling brew that is childhood emotions.

I think you’ve got a good approach. I’m not fully allosexual myself, but it seems to me the most painful part of this would be the loss of esteem. To be excluded from anything so blatantly…

People want to be liked. It means social safety, inclusion in a group. Sexuality is just one of its expressions.

I get you. It’s hard to think otherwise when all the world is a grey mist.

Nice. My partner is more of a movie person and I’m more a games person, so I’ll watch movies with her almost as a favour, and she’ll return it by playing games with me lol.

There’s an art to picking a movie or game for a choosie person, and we’ve both got pretty good at predicting eachothers’ tastes in media.
