Maybe I do have a moral aversion to making money because here goes. You could have continued doing this forever if you weren't trying to pin the blame on another user. I read your posts in the GBS thread and thought to myself "drat - who would be dumb enough to buy that avatar in response to those posts?" It seemed to good to be true from your perspective, and well, it was. Why the gently caress would you buy this avatar for yourself? I know you are aware of the ongoing discussion about avatar traceability. The part that has gone unsaid is that I can look up when someone buys an avatar for themselves, and that's what you did here. You log in to the forums to do so and they are associated with your account.

I guess I can see why you said this:

I wish I could say this is the first time you've done this, but it's not. You seem to have used the avatar system to direct death threats at yourself and tell yourself to kill yourself repeatedly and even said that you, yourself should "join the 41%". Why? Why the gently caress would you do that? Mirror universe Koala's March where she sockpuppets negative attention at herself instead isn't any more fun. I maybe get it a little bit up until the point where you start blaming other people for them and manipulatively pretending you don't know what they're referring to.

So yeah, I am averse to making money if it's from someone buying hateful avatars for themselves and trying to pin it on other people.

fake edit: lmfao I swear on my forums life I'm not responsible for that KM avatar - it wasn't there when I started typing this post. Someone else must have puzzled it out.

itd be one thing if youd just kept it at insults but the self-transphobia thing is disguting cause it A) exposes other users to transphobia and B) puts future accusations of transphobia in a shameful light

ive gone through it sometimes too so im sympathetic but theres a difference between sympathetic and excusing the behavior. sorry to ruin the lols by caring but as someone whos had stuff like that actually bought for me, gently caress you. and in a more sympathetic light, you really need to take a long break.

She directly bought multiple AV/Redtext and accused someone of buying it for her, in order to advocate foe their ban. She has proven without a doubt to be a manipulative liar. Why would she tell the truth if she felt she could manipulate and lie to get herself out of trouble?

as I understand it the RP wasn't written by the goon(s), which makes it even funnier because it means they found a a Riven: the sequel to Myst roleplay with player character sex dolls and went yeah, this is good stuff, this is the one
i think podima was involved in a LARP (yes, really) with these characters/plot but it fell apart before any kind of conclusion and he was so invested in the riven the sequel to myst sex RP that he and his friends corraled a bunch of goons into living out the RP podima never got to have

hence the complete refusal to let goons tweak any of it if they were put off by any of the concepts and the attempts to downplay/hide it from people they thought would be put off by it

which even if it was just a normal rp and not a weird sexdoll one would still be insanely weird behavior

I'd say both. Posting online a lot skews your perspective of things and how you socialize. Social media stuff like Facebook or Twitter are great at making it worse. This is a dramatic troll forum so it self-selects on top of that, but eh you could look over at reddit and see it's just as prone to petty tyranny, completely inane power tripping stuff, and bizarre drama.
i think a big thing that separates these forums from facebook or twitter is that its a large enough community that it feels like there's people but its a small enough one that becoming known to everyone on it is reasonably possible. combine that with the relatively 'buttoned up' rules (people on twitter only get banned for like, posting coordinates to a bomb) and accounts having an active cost/people being actively driven out of the community sometimes it really feeds into these sorts of weird social power fantasies.

I really enjoyed Tobal No. 1’s Story mode.
i saw the most loving insane bit about tobal number 2

quote:

According to Ken Kutaragi, when tested with a "performance analyzer" which Sony's engineers had developed to test how much of the PlayStation's potential a piece of software uses, Tobal 2 was shown to use 90%, while every other PlayStation game released up until that point measured at 50% or less.

what does this mean

Endorph
Jul 22, 2009

Well, for example, Formula One from Psygnosis is a great-looking game, but according to our performance analyzer it is only using 50% of PlayStation's potential. And this was, until very recently, the most advanced game. Tekken 2 uses only 30% to 40%. But now Tobal No. 2 uses 90% of PlayStation's potential. I was very surprised to see this
