But then they wouldn't get so many clicks and reactions.

Everyone's malding over spoilers and not realizing this isn't an actual ending that's coded into the game, it's just a funny side effect of a spell that malfunctioned during the end boss.

Again with the fixation on the OP. Let me be more direct: I didn't ask you.

Everyone has given good advice, but I just want to remind you:

it’s kinda dusty and feels like a bad place for babies

They evolved to do this without much human intervention in all kinds of outdoor conditions. Have their lives been improved by domestication and human watchfulness, yes, absolutely... but they'll be okay. A little dust will not be a serious hazard.

It's kind of you to care so much.

Sure, but that was just additional context for my question, which was what this poster feels is the difference between changing owners and buying out a company.

What is the difference, in your mind, between changing owners and buying out a company?

To me they're the same thing and this is an appropriate reply for OP. Is it just a matter of scale for you? (I think we'd all like bigger examples, but this still works)

Huh. I guess you're one of those that waits for people to tell you things in the comments, makes weird extrapolations about it, and jumps to conclusions rather than just clicking the OP link and absorbing the information there?

How did you even get that from what I said?

And literally the second tweet the dev made was "they've never sent any replies to me" so he's clearly been trying?

I'm usually more understanding of people missing information, but it took you more time and effort to jump to these conclusions and write a totally incorrect defense of Epic than it would have to just see that the info is right there.

No, there was absolutely no claim that it was an innocent mistake, I'm not sure why that was written there. It's just a promise to look into it, no more no less.

The procedural content especially is, like, antithetical to the formula.

Agreed; I don't even understand why procedural generation is popular anymore. It was novel in its first uses, but where devs see convenient shortcuts and marketers see "infinite replayability," I see "this shit is all going to feel identical after like 5 tries tops."

Oh look, it's the skybox from 3 planets ago with the ruin from 2 planets ago and the enemy selection from 5 planets ago. And I think this might be a new shade of blue in the grass, or is that just the skybox casting a weird hue over everything?

Much refreshing, very discover, wow.

Right?! I was a teen at the time in an area where people were really into this guy. This and B.I.G. were huge events around then. It's a shock seeing it suddenly dredged up again, let alone in this way.

I initially had concerns about how they were going to prove anything after so long, but after reading the article, it sounds like the guy has basically confessed dozens of times over in great detail and would have to fall back on the "haha I was kidding" defense to avoid consequences.

Guessing you didn't see the recent news about Epic doing a big layoff and shedding properties recently?

More like "Owner is convinced the new blanket is not for Rocket."

It's a pokemon reference, fainted was correct.

Usually yeah, at least twice, but with Fight Club you can't even get that since the two central characters were so... divided.

At best you get to re-contextualize the reactions of the characters around them, but that alone was never enough for me, so that's why this is my pick.

Fight Club. Really good, but just hasn't ever had the same impact on repeat watches.

With a lot of other "plot twist" movies, you can at least enjoy repeat viewings because you see and enjoy all the signs, and maybe even pick up new ones. But Fight Club, despite being excellent, doesn't really execute the repeat view appeal very well at all imo.

Yeah, I was just thinking while typing that I've got a super soft beanie I'm going to break out before winter sets in.

I've never seen one of those hats used IRL, but I get it.

If my room gets really cold, I can burrow in blankets, but since I'm not one of those weirdos who can sleep with a covered nose/mouth, my head has to stay stuck out and will still be cold.

I usually find a clean sweatshirt to hide the top of my head under or, in desperate times, origami my blankets up from behind my shoulders to tuck it in.

I haven't had the new vaccine yet, but after evading the old strain and catching the new one before vaccines were available, I can say... the original Moderna vaccine kicked my ass about equally as hard as covid's first day did.

(The cough is by far the worst part, but for me that didn't start until later, so the covid fever day felt completely identical to the post-vaccine day.)

none of the self cleaning ones really work properly, do they?

Uh, yes they do?

Or do you neglect your appliances as much as you neglect your animals? They do still require some human intervention to empty their waste, so you still can't ignore them even if you're dealing with it less.

You accepted this responsibility when you took in a cat. I hate it too, no one likes playing in poop. You aren't special or alone in this. We all find a way to suck it up and get it done because we love our pets, and if you can't, you aren't fit to be a pet owner.

weirdly antisocial

Completely forgets (or ignores) the fact that some people just don't like their lives and avoiding thinking about it is what helps them get through the day. And that others legitimately have nothing new going on that they can discuss with those outside their inner circles. Like, I'm not going to tell someone I haven't seen in a couple years all about the adult novel I'm looking forward to releasing in December, or that time I moved and nothing about it went well to the point it was mildly traumatic, so yeah, they're going to get a "meh, not much. keeping busy. work and stuff. you?" at the most generous.
