Maybe we could avoid using autistic as a pejorative. Except in cases where it seems to be both literally correct and pertinent, I guess, like that one conversation thread in D&D where the self-admitted autistic guy literally had trouble understanding why women would be bothered by restrictions on abortion. But that doesn't seem to be the case here, unless I've missed something.

I am totally on board with this, but I don't think our GBS-style friends are the sort to give a gently caress.

It's why I've been cropping out the end of the "joke's on you" comic, so I'm definitely backing this up.

the whole GW defenders thing is legit reminding me of the deterioration of a friend's marriage over the past year or so, where every so often they'd tell me about how they'd come to a new understanding over the most recent blowup, things weren't great but they were getting better, just look at [token gestures of improvement or short periods when things weren't so bad]

This is an interesting perspective. Occasionally the tone of this thread reminds me of individuals I have encountered who after a break up will obsess about their ex-partners rather than moving on. Often they have been on the receiving end of the shittier, less committed member of the relationship which is fair enough but really, rather than talking about what Stephanie is up to and why she will never survive at her new job because she is just hopeless with money and the next guy that goes out with her is going to have such a lovely time when he finds out what a bitch she is, just delete her number, unfriend her in facebook and move on chum. Stop talking about her for five minutes and you might find there are plenty more fish in the sea and you feel better and less bitter all the drat time.

It's really weird watching a game of 40k on the tabletop after I spent an afternoon playing Dawn of War 2. The game is fast paced and is pretty small in scale, meanwhile the tabletop game is slow, huge, and boring.

I feel like DoW 2 is closer to what the tabletop game should be.

I think you're a loving retard if you are surprised a video game plays faster than a physical tabletop game hth

I mean there's a grain of truth to this but for the metaphor to be complete you'd also need to be regularly encountering your ex out in public/social situations and them to still be doing 90% of the poo poo that made you (and plenty of others) fall out with them in the first place, which IMO makes it more reasonable to be thinking/gossiping about them

Gosh. A whole 46 posts in a near-100 page thread, and the majority of them since the 40k badposter invasion a day or two ago. Truly I am some kind of weirdo obsessive. Oh, what's this? You have over half as many posts as me, and I've been here from the start. So I guess this proves we both care?

I would still be telling that dude to sever...

Also to drag the analogy out it would also involve the guy telling other people who quite liked Stephanie that she was terrible and at times almost implying that they were mindless idiots for continuing to be her friend.

Also he starts an internet thread about when she is going to die and looking forward to that.... and that is the end of the metaphor.


I can also see your metaphor but wonder if it is more equivalent to a couple who are stuck in a relationship where things are comfortable to the point of stagnation. The relationship is chugging along, the sex happens, the routine is set up, the spark perhaps for many is gone and they are just going through the motions. Maybe you would be happier with someone else, someone sleeker, sexier and more exciting but you know what that is a big leap in the dark and is it really that bad where they are at and some are just too old to face the dating seen and all that wearing in of a relationship? And it can't be denied that it is still fun.
