I was putting my daughter to bed last night, told her I loved her, and realized that never everything has to be a discussion. Some things just need to be said even though they are brief. Too often we get caught up in trying to be clever or look smart and we don't say the simplest, most important things. Playing CoH is fun. Everything else about the game is secondary. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abraxus Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) I agree. But, sometimes, some minimal context is useful, so that others to understand the inspiration for the sentiment. When I read it, the first thing that came to mind was another player who loved the game, only just realized that CoH was back, after being gone for so long, and was telling us he was home at last. Then I looked at your post count, and deduced that you were a player who has been around for a bit since the revival, and was still quite happy the game was back, and that it was there to play whenever the opportunity presented itself. So, in that context, it was a statement of contentment, and satisfaction. So, while my thoughts on your post lack the brevity, and simplicity initially expressed, I feel like it could be a somewhat accurate interpretation. In any case, I share your feelings on the game, and the contentment of knowing it is there when I can find the opportunity. 😀😎 Edited January 25, 2020 by Abraxus What was no more, is REBORN!

Rathulfr Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) I read this as: "Well that was fun, I was playing City of Heroes [but now the fun's over and I'm outta here]." Some see the glass half full, others half empty. I guess I'm a pessimist.

Some see the glass half full, others half empty. I guess I'm a pessimist. Well I did post it when I logged off and went to bed. So you are right in that the fun was over. But just for the night. Which isn't terrible on Friday, knowing I have a weekend of playing to look forward too. But is harder on a work night when I know I won't play for 16+ hours.

It is just some oddly formatted text saying never a lot. Maybe I'm not evolved enough to understand the humor. But frankly I'm just lost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please YouTube Rick Astley, "never gonna give you up" and proceed to Rick Roll yourself. Shortly thereafter, proceed to appreciate pun. Highly recommended.

Clever. 🙂 Hopefully weaving the connection to the lost and rikti was intentional and not me reading too much into it but I smiled when I saw that and seemed too well crafted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until you mentioned this, I was all set to explain the joke. It still wasn't a funny joke. But then again rick rolling was never funny to begin with.
