Dyskolos

Which isn’t better than Google these days? They dropped immensly in quality.

Murica. Dunno if any other country does censor such trivialities too. And to the deeper why: religious hipocrisy i guess.

The currency-selling started way before wow too. In one mmo the money-spiral went so far the drain that people who played 8 or more accounts simultaneously were the tits. You had to buy a 2nd acc at the very least to be half-way competitive. It disgusted me so bad that i ultimately quit this otherwise beautiful game (dark age of camelot).

As to cheats. I love cheats and use them to my hearts desire. Be it to see everything on the first run (there are too many games in my backlog nowadays) or to make a fun 2nd run, or just to skip things i don’t enjoy (like carryweight in an rpg, me being a hoarder). I never cheated in online games of course. That would beat the purpose. Using denuvo anticheat on a singleplayergame just to make cheating impossible so that people buy their cheats… That’s where they can really suck my schlong and I’ll just pirate.

But it was the “beginning” with the most exposure to the average gamer. Everyone hated it, nobody wanted it, yet seemingly more than enough still bought it, which ultimately lead us here.

Yet, which game exactly started it, isn’t important for my point being. It somewhere started, and we still purchased and decided with our moneyz if such practices are fine with us. And obviously it was fine or else this thread Wouldn’t be there.

Well. We, the gamers, get what we deserve. Did we purchase shit like this before? Yes.

Did we buy Skyrim’s horse-armour and started it all? Yes.

Do we now pay for cheat-codes in a 70-moneyz single-player-game? Also Yes.

Obviously, or companies would stop to come up with such turds coz it wouldn’t sell.

I will wait for a crack even though i couldn’t await this game. But this? Nooooo. It hurts my fefes.

How dare you? It won Steam’s innovation-award! And it was surely full of innov…never mind. I’ll show myself out.

Seriously, who still cares what those “totally independent” sites say? The ratio-graph between site-size and trustworthyness is converging to zero.

Not to say the game isn’t great. It most likely is.

Based on the lack of evidence for the latter, my money would be on the prior 😁

Lol, yeah kinda like him 😂

Oh man. I should’ve used the word homosexual to be precise.

Well, don’t ask me…I won’t argue about the beauty of tatas 😊

Dude, i honestly don’t know if a guy liking an mtf-trans with a dong is considered gay. I would prefer said mtf-trans-with-dong over a manly-man-with-vayajay. I consider myself straight. If i HAD to choose which of those only 2 alternatives would be more attractive. So I’d guess it’s more the person/gender than the primary genital. But what do i know :-)

Not judging or anything, i never cared who wanted to make love to whatever.

But he really wanted dudes. Women were “disgusting”. whatever floats ones boat, but this is simply the definition of gay, if you like the term or not. It’s just a word describing a preference. A dude just liking cocks on a dude’s body and person and gender, then it’s plain gay.

Guess in his case (my generation, we both being genx) it was just the typical upbringing that said gay=bad. Guess the shit stucks deeply, hence his cognitive dissonance and extreme adversity to gayness.

Spectrum is fine and all, but gay is gay. If gay would mean many things, the word would be useless. It already became useless for its original meaning, let’s not kill it again :-)

Nah, he disliked woman in general, the vagina was just the “most disgusting” part beside the tatas :-)

Well in his case it wasn’t just the dick itself. Women were “disgusting”. So the dick needed to be attached to a manly man.

What exactly is gay? To me it’s when a manly man likes manly men. If you’d fall in love with a woman and THEN see her male genitals, it wouldn’t be gay. She just was an ass to not tell you earlier 😁 If you’d see both genitals or none, it wouldn’t be either. And yes, there always have been those with both or none.

It would be the logical thing to do. Be consistent!

I can’t. We didn’t recover from me somehow voicing his gayness might be a teeny bit gay.

I knew this guy. He always wanted to suck my Schlong or f with me. Told him i ain’t gay. He replied he neither, he just finds vaginas disgusting (Women in general, Vaginas just being the “most disgusting” part) and schlongs beautiful, hence it’s not gay at all. He just prefers guys coz they have said dingdongs.

Told him that was somehow very gay. He got really really really pissed at me for hinting he might be gay. He hates gays and find them repulsive. It was at this point that i realized, he verbally held me hostage. How to reply to that? I didn’t know.

EDIT: That wasn’t a joke or satire, he was dead-serious about it. That level of cognitive dissonance is hard to find, even in religious people :-)

I’d say it’s a difference between being good which benefits myself too and basing a life on it. If you do something just to do good, you might be doing good, but aren’t good. As said, that mindset might quickly turn around if there’s suddenly no benefit to being good anymore. Sure, you could argue that the motivation to do good doesn’t matter as long as good is done. But, as said, it’s just so very volatile and setting no example for others.

As to charities…i had consulted two very big ones here and i said fuck-them and left after some days. Having access to their complete data made me puke. Up to that point I always thought charities were cool. But just to point out one:

• 2 CEOs driving fat company-cars, on “company”-trip every week (london for a nice dinner etc)
• The cellar was full of assets of old people’s inheritance. At least double-digit millions of paintings, gold, jewelry, motorbikes, cars…
• “charity” moved for the 3rd time in 2yrs, buying the third multi-million-building.
• a whole division of lawyers to threaten people
• a whole division of marketing-gurus to talk old people into leaving their inheritance to them. And boy you would be wondering how good that works.
• tons of things more, nobody gave a fuck about anyway

Yes, they also did good things with their “income”. But literally >95% was for the “overhead”. The only good thing was that employees are basically non-fire-able. They even keep alcoholics who rarely show up, just to avoid negative publicity. Most of the people working there don’t even do anything anymore. They just spend the day surfing. Salaries were shit though. But if you got a job there, you would essentially be set for life.

The other “charity” wasn’t much different, i left even earlier with a “fuck you, i won’t work for you”. Sure, maybe there ARE good charities, who spend >80% for the charity not the “overhead”, but I don’t have to time to find out, hence i never donated a single cent anymore except tiny local associations i know (and work with/for).
