Wow. I missed that because it looked boring….


Snarky

Recommended Posts

I do not read and post on every thread here.  It probably seems like i do.  I do not

 

i read about 2/3 of the stuff in general and peruse the Brutes forums and sometimes the Tanks, and rarely a few others when working on ideas.  
 

recently someone posted in general and the title looked both long winded and boring.  So….i never looked at it

 

it got locked so i looked.  Yowza.  Bit it is best I did not read earlier.  Sure, there was a lot if opportunities for Snarky comments.  Where to start?  Where to F-ing end?   But I like to raise the level a bit with my Snarking.   As the Devs wisely decided on locking, that thing was in the bottom of the toilet from the go and headed for the sewer at full steam.  Maybe that is what caused the DFB monsters to spawn???

I'm so glad you're still finding an outlet to share that shark with us, regardless of that thread being closed!

I was in the middle of translating it when it got locked.  I have an english as a second language co worker so i was treating it like that and making a post.  Today my co worker said 'his mind blew away' but he meant 'he was thinking about something else'.  So there can be a fair amount of difference in what was said and what was meant.  Probably for the best that it was shut down though.

I find it interesting what the mods lock and what they jut plain make disappear.  

 

Was OP mentally deranged?  Maybe.  Were they the victims of bad translating software?  Maybe.  But they weren't spamming viruses as far as I can tell.

Had to go look for it after reading this thread.  No idea what was going on, but it strongly reminded me of a time years ago when I saw some early A.I. trying to learn to compose meaningful conversation.  

 

Not knocking any human who may have been writing it, just observing the similarity.

But games? He used to pay his bills with games. (He's recovering well, thanks for asking!)

I don't know, a new AT based on a mishmash of wise men archtypes from all cultures sounds good on paper....wait. No it doesn't.

I think at first glance that thread seemed to be trolling or some sort of language issue. The more I think about it--I have seen weird manifestos like that pop up in different places. Often there is a characteristic connection with something mundane, local politics or the mechanics of a video game, with grandiose statements about conspiracies or the ultimate nature of reality. I think there is a decent possibility that someone is experiencing mental health issues and it's probably not a good vein for humor.

I can't tell you how many verbose diatribes on various issued I've wanted to spew forth on these forums in the guise of game topics. Somehow... I've always managed to avoid them regardless of inebriation status.

Yeah but you're evil not crazy. Also apologies about my terminology here, I don't mean to offend or mischaracterize evil people.

Wow! Thanks for the pointer, BillZ!

I, er, wonder if the Vatican knows this guy works for them?

I know people who have experienced and are experiencing serious mental health issues including delusions, paranoia, and schizophrenia.  This post rings of mental illness.  While it’s not possible to know that definitively from a forum post, I think it is wise to assume this person is Ill and to not make light of a possibly serious and /or tragic situation.

If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore.

(It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications)

Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case.

But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable.

Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them.
