You aren't as insecure as these people.

I don't think my experience is too far out of line with everyone elses (that isn't that insecure) but anything anywhere that involves money will have someone like Clifford AKA Mikku or Wesha involved.

I used to see it in school. Donation drives would have the really insecure kids do whatever they could to donate the most to be recognized. Sales would have kids buying their own products to be recognized as the best salesman. A "Coin Collection" drive would have a kid turn $100 from their parents into pennies to get recognized for bringing the most coins.

Translate that to adult paychecks and work and you have people buying their whole office donuts or breakfast every day / on a regular basis.

Translate that to manchild disability / crazy checks and video games and you have furries and anime girl kin desperately emptying their bank accounts so that someone gives them any kind of attention.

I've been that insecure before but I grew as a person. It's incredibly transparent and even irritating to me. Looking at that Squadron 42 guys twitter, it's nonstop tweets where someone is sending them thousands of dollars of food and alcohol. Clifford AKA Mikku does that with the LA office.

Someone mentioned in this thread that the air lock might be bullshit, so I said I'd go make a video, a few minutes later I posted that vid, there was no time to mess with cfg files or whatever, even if I know which files to open, which I don't.

I've never once messed with any files, that'd be like using a WoW private server to give yourself all the best gear, there's no point.

The fat people making video games enters when you have social media, "Backer levels," and a community with an unofficial hierarchy based on how much you have spent. Any game where you can directly pay to win will have these sadbrains paying to win. I've played F2P phone strategy games where the guys at the top have like $9,000 worth of units and poo poo. Goons used to troll a flash based browser trivia game that had microtransactions for some reason, so you'd run into people with $600 in terribly drawn flash animated Hats. That IMVU thing? It started out as a 3D messenger system and you have people with thousands of dollars of clothes, hats, and decorations that serve no purpose other than to elevate them socially in a community based on money.

Here is a good example of what I'm talking about

http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3571910&pagenumber=28&perpage=40#post419923362

The goldmined doobie thread where they guy (a goon Clifford AKA Mikku) kept upping his donation. The core idea behind these people is that he was really buying the compliments and reaction from the thread for $1000, and not actually giving a gently caress about donating $1000 to a hot dog stand. It's pathetic insecurity.

I guess if I were a more evil person I'd come up with some kind of venture than min/maxes the whole "desperate, insecure sadbrains empty their wallets for validation" thing but my name isn't Chris Roberts.
