Ask/tell me about legal cannibalism

I played warframe briefly, wasn't there already a cyst-like thing that you got afflicted with at the start of the game, and the beginning questline was to remove it? Why would it upset people that they have one again?

It's like how when Blizzard did a prelaunch event for Wrath of the Lich King expansion where there was an undead plague going around infecting players and turning them into ghouls, they had to end it early because people whined about it so much.

Unlike the Ascaris which is removed with a cheap crafted item you can make infinity of, the Helminth Cyst is (currently) only removable via draining for creating a Helminth Charger. This requires a Kubrow Egg, which is a RNG drop from a limited number of entities that can only spawn on Earth Missions, and an available pet Stasis Slot. Stasis Slots are limited(2 free ones) unless you spend real money or trade items to other players for Platinum to unlock additional ones. It also can only be done a real life week after getting it.


I do think the people whining about it are silly. But some people play the game to play cosmetic dress up, and it does kind of ruin that aspect even if it has no bearing on gameplay.

Think about all the time we've wasted on writing and reading novels. If we had only dedicated all that brain energy to science we might have ethical vat-grown meat by now. What a loving tragedy that Steven King didn't do anything more important with his time...

Yeah, I can't say I'm a fan of it visually. Granted, you can barely see it during gameplay, and I'm more excited about what will come since I swear I'm one of the few who actually like the plot and characterization in Warframe.

Throwing a tantrum, claiming the developers must fulfill your every whim, and saying that it's somehow illegal just makes you look like a spoiled brat.

There are many reasons why Chet Hanks is a loser but this will never be one of them. And I'm sure the article writer and commenter are physically shining examples of their race. The little girl is adorable, the Hanks family probably embrace her and her mother with loving arms, and I'm glad it pisses these pieces of garbage off.

This has to be parody. Come on.

Welcome to 2012!

Fashionable Jorts posted:

So popular free-to-play game Warframe added some new content, including a "cyst" that you can get through a certain plot mission, or from interacting with other players who have a cyst. It's a tiny pink blob on the character's neck that you can't even see 99% of the time. It can be removed after it's fully grown, which takes seven days real time to do.

Apparently it's the worst thing to ever happen to videogames.




For those not familiar with the game, Prime frames are one of the items in the game that require a lot of time and effort to acquire, or you can purchase one from another player for a fair amount of the in-game currency (which essentially means you can pay another player 2-15 real dollars to do the work for you).


Dude sounds like he's being physically assaulted by a tiny bit of content in a videogame.


The developers of a free-to-play game are literally my servant and must do my every whim! I won't have fun unless the game cowers to me!


Video games must fill out and have me sign a new contract every time they decide to patch it. My lawyers must be present during this.

TL:DR tiny babby is mad about videogames.

seems like a troll. maybe don't take the bait next time.

This is basically the response to any Warframe update because most of the time, they're actually really bad :shrug:. This is a game that once made the first level nearly impossible to beat and then the dev team personally berated anyone who pointed this out on their forums and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

that was an entirely different thing that someone planted on you and it made you take more damage or something stupid and took actual in-game resources to clear up. And if you lost against certain surprise bosses you'd get another one stuck on you.

See now, this on its own is amusing because it is absolutely true. Between period interviews with players in the NHL are absolutely hilarious because they're athletes, not actors. The majority of them don't know how to talk to a camera, and now you're coming up and talking to them after they've busted their rear end for forty minutes. So yeah, funny picture.

But then you get the assholes who post it along with their fifty paragraph manifesto about why they are superior to the plebs for not following sports.

It's not all astrophysics. He also spared some brainpower to make a rap song refuting that the world was flat

Which I would normally give him credit for if not for his judgemental view on how people spend their past time.
