People are wild.

I'm reading that Ancient Rome fanboy posting that was linked in here a bit ago now and lolAgesilaus posted:Academic and professional institutions have waned where law schools exist and are often necessary to become a lawyer. The schools simply waste three years of your life and place you in an immense amount of debt, despite having very little to do with the practice of law, very little to do with the formation and support of gentlemanly practitioners, and ultimately very little to do with anything of value at all. Law schools are a black mark on academia and the legal profession, and allowing such dreadful institutions to serve as gatekeepers is really a harmful regression from better days. Okay I see where you're starting off detecting some baseline issues with modern societies... Agesilaus posted:Politically, culturally, economically, and socially, many modern societies are flawed in certain respects compared to ancient societies like that of Sparta. Modern America, for example, is oppressed by the nobility clause, does not have an explicit class-based society, and in many ways is governed and controlled by low class people given over to money. Importantly, the institutions are designed to be vulgar and are beholden to lower class interests. I guess the rot at the root of American democracy is actually the poors? Unlike the completely un-stratified ancient Greeks, especially Sparta. Then someone posts a lot of ancient Roman dick carvings.... Agesilaus posted:If you lot can't respond to what I've said, then just move on. There's no need to trot out the same, tired joke about ancient graffiti. I never said ancients were better or worse at graffiti, in case you're legitimately wondering, so give it a rest. Agesilaus posted:I'm seriously laughing right now over how ridiculous and close-minded you lot are being[...]

Remembering a mod for original Skyrim that was on the workshop. Because it was on the workshop it updated automatically to everyone who subscribed to it when the author had a weird meltdown and changed the description of every item in the game to '[Guy critical of the mod] SHOULD TAKE HIS OWN ADVICE'. Lots of frustrated comments from people who had no idea what the gently caress that was about whose game was suddenly ruined.

This reminds me of when I was reading a bunch of WoW drama about Blizzard re-releasing some "prestige" mounts (that you used to only be able to get from codes on trading cards or something?) and decided to actually look up the mounts, and all of them looked about this stupid or much stupider I mean, I love stupid MMO mounts as much as anyone, but it was amazing to look at this poo poo that people paid hundreds of real dollars for and were outraged that other people could now pay tens of real dollars for

the guy who created etherium and led the development on NFTs and all they have wrought did so primarily motivated because blizzard nerfed the poo poo out of Siphon Life during Wrath of the Lich King. "I saw everything to do with either government regulation or corporate control as just being plain evil. And I assumed that people in those institutions were kind of like Mr. Burns, sitting behind their desks saying, ‘Excellent. How can I screw a thousand people over this time." lol

You've had years to be the special little guy with the shiny sword or whatever, why give a poo poo now that it probably looks worse than regular stuff due to being a 10 year old+ model?

Deki posted:I don't get the rage about giving people another shot at old prestige armors or mounts or whatever. I can almost understand it if it's prestige stuff you previously had to earn via gameplay achievements -- like, it's still pretty sad to be hung up on, but I can sort of get the logic of "what the gently caress, I spent weeks beating the Challenge of the Fartlord to get this cosmetic, and now any random dipshit can buy it for $20?" -- but I think the stuff I was looking at was never even gated by anything but money, by buying trading cards or whatever? So it was purely "people who pay less for the same thing I have are stealing from me and devaluing my purchase."

They just gradually readded them into the game in various ways for players.
