I'm deeming this "stupid poo poo that's not going to happen in a fantastic way":

https://www.reddit.com/r/editthegame/comments/2tevp8/our_crazy_idea/

A reddit user & game dev has an idea to run a game company. Wow, zany right? Well actually it is, but only because he says this:

quote:

we've been working on a system to allow players to... I dunno the right word, co-own? A game company with the developers. In other words, you guys would vote in a subreddit for content you wanted to see in the game, and suggest stuff too, and also be in control of how the game and company and we are funded. We'd all run a game company together - us, the developers, and you, the players. We (meaning us and you) would be responsible for stuff like figuring out how to keep us (the developers) afloat during development.

quote:

Now imagine if there was a whole company that worked that way, top to bottom, everything from the design of the website, to whether the game is funded with ads or donations, to the shape of the main character's... lasso? Bow? ...To what platform should be prioritized for the next release.

My lovely wife to be seems to insanely difficult to kill and leaves a wake of bodies in her path. Sometimes intentional, usually not.

Okay, background: She served as a Marine, got attached to an infantry line platoon....twice, in order to handle female detainees.
She has been shot multiple times.
She has been stabbed.
She has been caught in two different explosions.
She has survived catastrophic injury as a result of a massive IED. (Skull fracture, nearly severed right leg, two broken vertebrae and numerous lacerations, muscular damage, and TBI)
She has been forced to kill.
She has had her friends' (sic) blood and brain matter spattered across her face.
She lost a fiance to an IED.
She has survived some the worse kind of men outside of combat.
She has been hit by cars.
She has attempted suicide several times and somehow her chosen method failed.
She has given birth to two children.
She has a knack for being on scene at horrible and usually fatal car wrecks where she acts as a first responder.
She just messaged me about a mustang that rammed into a traffic control box at about 45mph. She likely saved the woman's life by responding with the medical training she received from the Marine Corps nearly a decade ago.

I am proud of her, she has triumphed over the worst humanity has to offer.
She also makes me worry a lot.

I love her, and I'm going to marry her.
Thank you for reading, if you did.

Wait, my fiancee's dad is a legit ex-SEAL. Do I get a free play anywhere on the Bingo board?

He served in Vietnam as a 'frogman' (before they were the now-infamous SEALZZZ), and actually retired from the military as some stupid high Navy rank with his SEAL trident. Dude is probably the nicest, most unconfrontational guy I've ever met. No war stories, no threats to me about his precious baby girl, and you'd never know he's legit killed people (something he's NEVER bragged about) unless you were told.

This is why I laugh at the STDH stories about people who's dads/uncles/cousins are "SEALs" and like to start fights, and are super aggressive towards everyone. Uh, yeah. No.

Yeah I dunno, sounds to me like your fiancee's dad was probably a pussy then. I did some volunteer role-playing for some trainees when I was in (the navy), and occasionally I was able to sit around with the instructors while they were bullshitting and they were trashing Mack from future weapons (former seal) and the guys who knew him said he though of himself as a pretty boy and that he was a pussy too.

I worked with a guy who was special forces in Vietnam too and while he was the nicest guy ever, he would often tell us when he entered the room that we shouldn't sit around a table like we did: too easy to take us all out with a grenade. He brought in photo albums of some gory crap and radio recordings of him in firefights. Dude was awesome. unlike your pussy potential father-in-law.

So basically you cosplayed in the Navy? :waycool: And as far as your Vietnam guy, I can't remember the last time a random grenade was thrown through a window of my house, but hey, I also don't live in Fallujah. Matter of fact, you should buy him an account and direct him to this thread. Lifehack! Don't want everyone killed? Don't cluster around a table!

No reason to get so upset man. He was just joking obviously, its easy to misunderstand. Perhaps you also misheard your future father-in-law and what he meant was he did a lot of 'double frogman' stuff back in Nam.

Bully bullshit.

quote:

RANDOM STORY
ADD A STORY
Bullying The Bully Into Submission
SECONDARY SCHOOL | KENT, ENGLAND, UK | BAD BEHAVIOR, BULLY, TEACHERS
(During my first year of senior school there is a girl that doesn’t like me. She does things like hide my bag, take the band out of my hair, etc… Some teachers are good about it and punish her, but most tell me to ‘ignore her and she’ll stop.’ When we start school the next year my former head of year is with us again. He has been useless at sorting problems out and knows the situation with me. He is giving a talk about bullying and asks if there were any questions.)

Me: “What do you count as bullying?”

Teacher: “Anyone who hurts or upsets another pupil physically, emotionally, or verbally.”

Me: “And how will the bully be punished?”

Teacher: “That depends on the situation.”

(He tries to carry on the assembly but I’m not letting him off that easily.)

Me: “Let’s say, for example, someone did things like pull my hair, take my stuff, hide my books—”

(The girl starts crying but I just talked louder.)

Me: “—what if, for example, she wasn’t allowed to go to the toilet on her own during P.E because she would move my bag and uniform. If I told a teacher would she get in trouble and be punished?”

(The teacher glares at me, knowing full well what I am doing but also knowing that he didn’t do anything to help me last year.)

Teacher: “Of course. Anyone who bullies will be punished.”

(The girl is still crying, quite loudly now.)

Me: “By every teacher? No matter how many times she did it?”

Teacher: “Yes.”

Me: “I don’t suppose it’ll be a problem now though.”

(Neither the girl nor that teacher spoke to me for the whole year. Lots of other teachers and pupils thought what I had done was brilliant though!)

Yeah, those scars linked kind of don't really add up to the story. I've got much worse scars and that's just from being a kid who grew up in the country (including some sweet-rear end barbed wire scars on arms, my brother has four big lines from the same across his face). Somehow, I'd expect a Marine who survived getting a "nearly severed right leg" to be a bit more roughed up. And, uh, a bit more athletic looking.

A bully is someone who consistently hurts and abuses someone else, as well as threatening repercussion if they try to fight back (whether physically or trying to get help from third parties). :eng101:

A bully isn't just "someone who hurts someone else", with that lovely logic I was assuming the story would be him calling the teacher a bully or something because he gave him a F grade or something.

Meh, I could still buy the bully-teacher angle since I've seen my fair share of really lovely ones when checking out places for my kids. I'd change your definition of bullying to be coming from someone that holds power over someone else. Yes, that power usually comes from explicit/implicit threats of violence if the bully is a peer, but a kid can feel just as helpless against adults without there threat of violence (one of the big reasons statutory rape exists as a charge in the first place and can be applied to non-child victims)
