If it makes you feel any better, I do see your point. And now discussing this further requires nuance, and arguing either side will get you labeled anti-semetic or pro-exclusionism. The nuance will be lost and the label applied. You indeed turned the controversy to 11. Well done.
My only statement is that there’s clearly a power imbalance going on. Shining light on that isn’t a bad thing.
The grind to get those depends on whether the player is being farmed for money. If it feels good to play, and you unlock content at a reasonable rate, that’s just called progression, not farming. But if the task is repetitive, unfun, and designed to frustrate players into paying, that’s farming.
That’s why people shit on EA for BF2. They did the math of the grind and loot boxes, and it came out so something ridiculous, like multiple hundreds of hours to unlock stuff. I used to play R6 Siege and never spent a penny. After a week or so of playing with my friends, we’d have enough in-game currency to buy a new operator. We’d all unlock new characters and try them out. Week after week, it was fun.
Paying, imo would have ruined that experience because the gameplay is what made it fun. Forcing us to use the ops we chose rather than having a full roster to pick whatever we wanted. Felt almost like deck-building. We were progressing, not farming.
The caveat is that the new ops tended to be OP. I think the devs probably do it intentionally. This is the P2W part. People could pay day 1 and get the operator with the overtuned kit. They paid to save time, because they want to be the first to use the shiny new toy.
But again, like I said. I’ll never spend money on either, but at least that person paying is gaining something, an advantage, time saved, instant gratification, more time learning the op. The person buying a pink gun gets … a digital pink gun?
Preach. So many people are fine, in fact, better than fine, paying money for cosmetics. I think p2w games are scum but at least the player gets something from that, whether it be time saved, better gun, or whatever.
Paying for a skin (which is essentially what this mount is) Nahhhhh. I’ve never spent a dime on either of those, but at least the former has some value imo.
Spending $90 to look cool in a videogame is something people need to get therapy for. But they’re still playing on official WoW servers, so we already knew that. (Shoutouts to Whitemane and TurtleWow. Neither costs a cent monthly and both respect your time)

Bethesda didn’t do NV
Guns Hurricanes don’t kill people.
The pose was copied from Dresden Venus. Where it’s much more obvious that she’s touching herself. Likely whoever commissioned it requested her to be like that.
Art History courses I’ve taken seem to gloss over the fact that most famous artwork is commissioned. The patrons of 1000 years ago are the same as the patrons of today. They’re down bad and want titties & ass.
Maybe in 1000 years ahegao catgirls will “represent fertility”
They should have a support chopper that you can call in
Shift done. You no longer exist in my head. Bye bye.
Hope Liam or whatever gets the same treatment in yours someday.
100% Yeah you’re right. I was imagining a public apology An edit is appropriate. Still, this dude puts socker players to shame with how he cries foul.
I didn’t think I needed to restate the facts this far in the thread.
Does it bother you that someone sees through your story?
Afraid of others forming an opinion against yours?
3 minutes…
Yes I am mercilessly abusing you. My harrassment knows no bounds. You are subject to my will and must continue to engage with me. The badman who disagrees with you on the internet.
My shift ends in 10 minutes. After that I promise not to think of you ever again. You will be safe from me.
They sarcastically replied to you and then removed the whole thread. Not just your reply
3 months ago.
Toughen up.

You just can’t help being pedantic. They’re both correct.
The moderator got tired of this platform because it enables people who feel they were slighted to critique their every move. Mod logs don’t have to be public. I think it’s fine to disagree with that as a moderator. Mod abuse has been caught for decades without it, none of your argument hinged on the public mod logs other than the mastadon post where he shared annoyance that you were bothering him with them. Moderators are free to moderate with the tools and platform they want. He resigned, so fucking what.
He was snarky back at you. Big whoop.
This is an insular 1st world problem you are experiencing. Stemming from a bruised ego. This guy is not manipulative or toxic. You’re overreacting.
Looking through your comments you do plenty of “dishing it out”. But this is how you react when someone sarcastically replies to you then nukes the thread? You must have paper skin.
Sure, based on that logic, I’m harrassing you…for a day.
Not the 3 months you’ve been going for.
No. The facts are not facts because they’re opinions. You present your “facts” through the lens of a neutral party, and you are clearly anything but neutral.
You make a claim hoping to get the hivemind on your side. You dump screenshots showing your embarrassing behavior and count on the fact that 60+ people won’t even stop to verify or form their own opinion.
The sad part is that you’re right. You can say anything and if it aligns with their preconceived narrative, they’ll upvote and keep scrolling.
Which is exactly why you bury the lead, because if you said outright from the beginning that it was against you, well then people would be alerted to your inherent bias and actually form their own opinions.
My argument is that you first appear to be a nuetral reporter when, in reality, you are a biased participant.
Also… This is night 1 of me thinking about this.
There won’t be a night 2.
This is night 80 for you.
Don’t project.
Caffeine pills gave me heart arrhythmia for like 2 months. I had to wear a monitor and everything.
Pill form is so much more potent, and I was splitting them, effectively bypassing the coating that helps it dissolve slowly. Your body is just not meant to absorb 150mg of caffeine instantaneously. Crazy I know.
