Legends die but anime is forever.

RIP The Lost Otakus.

It was a game where you could directly trade in game currency for cash and vice versa so people were flying around internet spaceships worth thousands of dollars. If your spaceship blew up, that was thousands of dollars gone in an instant. Goons in large numbers played to gently caress with others and in some cases lose thousands of dollars effectively gambling on a spaceship spreadsheet simulator.

Goons losing insane amounts of money in stupid ways and forcing other people to do the same always tends to be entertaining. gently caress actually playing that game though, it looked boring as hell.

Wasn't there a guy who drove to the house of a rival guild leader or something during a war and knocked out their power?

Clinton won by three million votes in the primary. I'll never understand what people like this dude wanted the Democrats to do, say "Nah, actually we'll give it to the loser because some people tweeted a lot"? It doesn't matter what happened in the general, she won the primary, and she won it by a lot. Clinton had a stronger claim to the Democratic nomination than Donald did to the Republican one, for that matter.

lol this is why policy absolutely does not loving matter. The man made it very clear that he hates Muslims, and views them as less than human. He did this many times. He still got Muslim votes. To win an election you need to be 1) Loud 2) Funny 3) Somewhat charismatic. It doesn't actually matter what you believe.

the big problem with 'we need to reach out to middle america' or whatever is that it doesn't take into account that american voters are like dogs in that they kind of just do things for no reason
Dogs are more rational.

I cannot possibly imagine any way or story where EVE Online is/was fun. If I want space laffs, I'll pop over to the SS13 thread.
EVE is probably one of the best games of all time, but holy poo poo does it need a few massive content updates. I feel like CCP has been coasting for years.

japan is still ridiculously elitist-xenophobic after all this time and it's really funny to watch the cognitive dissonance meltdown when other countries do well with their stuff

their response is usually to Japan even harder, which causes worldwide gamers to get alienated and sales to drop

which then leads to them blaming american gamers because they didn't understand it lol

it's literally what happened with Other M although that's more on their director than the rest of the dev team (he was real real bad)

Japan still is hella xenophobic though and it's kind of sad. It cuts both ways though, if you're moderately respectful and speak even a little bit of proper Japanese it's all like whaaaaaaaaaaat

You can't (legitimately) trade EVE's currency into real currency (though obviously there's tons of illegitimate ways around that). You can't even really trade real currency into EVE's currency. You buy game time and then trade that game time for EVE currency. The difference is that the developer of EVE doesn't sell the video game currency, so it's all generated, somewhere, by player activity.
