Also sounds like a thread that would take off and be great and eventually turn into a shitstorm, as per usual. Sweet, I'll try and whip one up then.

A few years ago I wrote some article about the grey market in Star Citizen and how its rather bad for people overall, and a few other articles highlighting some of the rather lovely/questionable behavior by CIG, the devs, that got people so mad a 40 page threadnought on their official forums happened, and a few people talked about finding me IRL because of the articles etc. People are super stupid when it comes to defending their terrible video games.

People will tell you they're going to kill you and/or you should kill yourself for pretty much anything these days, which is sad

FactsAreUseless posted:Yeah, but they won't actually kill you. Eventually, their powerlessness will destroy them and they'll shoot up a school or shopping mall. It is a bit unnerving that "you should kill yourself" has been overtaken by "i will kill you" in terms of demoralizing things to say to people, that's about the point where cyber-bullying stops being the kind where you can just ignore it because what if they're serious. there's like a 0.1% chance, but what if.

I was so upset when Re-shelled was not only ugly and based on the much inferior arcade version (instead of being a 4-player version of the SNES game), but also changed the mechanics just enough that it wasn't any fun.

I don't like Kotaku and think it's a poo poo website full of poo poo journalists but I dunno man, I think even in jest death threats/telling people to suicide is probably too much.

Anyways if there's a Brandsmart around your area (it might only be a South Florida thing I dunno) they have Uncharted 4 for $29 as a memorial day sale. If you walk into Best Buy they'll price match it. Cheap Uncharted 4 owns.

Please do not threaten to kill one another, or say that it is okay that other people threaten to kill other people when they are mad over really silly things that are not worth being angry about. Instead, let us all be friends and enjoy one another's company, or at least be tolerant and avoid those we do not like and be merry and gay

Agreed. If you told some random person on Facebook you were going to kill them people would rightly be a little freaked out unless you somehow conveyed it was a joke. The Internet isn't the anonymous nerd safe space it was in the Usenet days or even the early 2000's. Your grandma is on the Internet talking people up. People take that poo poo seriously now that our real life identities are wrapped up in this.
