Maybe they think they should branch out from playing Dungeons and Dragons with their mom every weekend? It sounds cute for the sake of the thread but if they're socially stunted in general that may be why they're getting signals from their peers.

Mirthless is worse but if you find yourself agreeing with Pick's trolling too much, do what I do: expose yourself to stories of men being kind, decent human beings. They exist.

its okay, I don't hate all men. Most men I know are actually fairly kind , decent humans. The problem is that they're all close and old friends who started as cheaty dumpster fires of human beings when we became friends, that are now okay, because being vain teens in a shithole scene ruins people idk? I promise I know good men exist I guess?

Sometimes Pick is on her meds when she posts, and has a good opinion. Everything's going to be okay.

Does pick actually take meds and go off them, is this a thing she said or is she just on her meds and right when you think shes right about poo poo?
...not trying to be a dick, just all I've seen is her being "normal" or normalish or doing the obviously troll character and I dont know where meds fit there. But thank you :)

Pick's posts are either (sometimes both) serious or trolling depending on the situation and the deadpan delivery can often make it hard to tell.

if you disagree with something Pick posts to the point where your knee starts to jerk, just assume she's trolling.

I'm sure they're out there, but the numbers have to be so few and far between that these guys have either:

a) self-selected this group of weirdos, or
b) there is more to the story they aren't telling us, or
c) they're actually giant man-babies and their friends are just busting their balls.

That would make sense. I could see joking around about it lightly, but he's acting like it's some serious thing to them.

His uncle sounds like a big dummy "take her somewhere she doesn't want to go so she can sit around doing something she doesn't want to do". Real great advice, champ.

Usually when I'm trolling it's because I want to hear someone else articulate the reasons I feel a certain way, and it's way easier to get someone to do that if you take the opposite stance. People put way more effort into telling you why you're wrong than why you're right, and you get good information for your own p.o.v. that way.

If you say, "Article ice is receding" people nod their heads because that's a fact. If you say "Arctic ice hasn't changed in 50 years" you'll get a slew of good info about arctic ice without having to google it, usually the most telling and profound ones (which you can then double-check).

I've never claimed it's a good game on purpose. It's a game that challenges your relationship with video games. It asks you hard questions about yourself and the narratives that appeal to you versus reality. Loot doesn't scale in the real world, hombre.

I think it just needed more than a year of dev time TBH. I like a lot of what they were aiming for in concept, but the execution felt a bit half-assed.

It could have been better, and needed some content it doesn't have, but it's easy to say it's the best video game of all time, because 99.9% of video games are 100% poo poo. So yeah, it's the best of the like maybe 10-15 good video games ever made.
