Nah.  Instead I come here and complain about progressivism; I'm not here solely to get people to tell me I'm smart, you know.

I like it that people here treat me like a person.  Psychologists treat me like an experiment, and I can feel them trying to exert control, which drives me nuts because they don't tend to be very good at it.  Not looking like they're controlling people, I mean.  Not that I'm good at it.  I don't like the blunt psychical force method, though.

But, uh, thanks.

Subject appears to be developing feelings of attachment, with hallucinations of humane treatment.

Tried playing Ragnarok Online again.  It's still depressing :/  Dozens of max level, insanely glowy people sitting in guild hangouts, hardly anyone else around.  And leveling is just as slow as before.  I was getting .1% per kill at level 95 transcendent.  That's 1000 kills to get one level, and it will only take longer as time goes on...

I forget the actual calculations... but Runescape's leveling is even slower.
In order for me to get Lord Reudh (my player) from level 71 - 72 in Attack, Strength and Defense (where the max is 99, and one 'Combat Level' requires 4 of attack, defense, strength, constitution...) required something like 84,000exp per level... to get a combat level up i'd need 84k X 3, or 252,000 exp.

At the best possible place to train in Free to Play, Level 50 Giant Spiders in the Stronghold of Security on the Pestilence floor,
i would get 200exp per kill. I can usually kill a single giant spider in about 10-25 seconds.
So, 252,000 exp / 200 per spider = 1260 spiders. Assuming I'm on my own and am going as fast as possible, managing 10 second kills, that's 210 minutes straight, assuming I don't have to stop and heal and also make bank runs to restock my healing supplies.

Calculating this reminds me why I quit runescape.

Now, with the bots, i would be lucky to get 50 second kills because there are so many players there... that's 17.5 hours straight to level up one combat level.

Pay to play, all the way! 6 dollars a month isn't much for an MMO, and it's pretty much 3-5 times the content of Free to play.

I can't find a decent Space Station 13 server. I tried Goonstation but they make the AI call the shuttles the MOMENT something happens. Radiation belt that lasts for 20 seconds? "ZOMGZ, CALL TEH SHUTTAL!", captain dead? "ZOMGZ, CALL TEH SHUTTAL!", minor meteor storm that could EASILY be survived? "ZOMGZ CALL TEH SHUTTAL!"

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Yeah, I would, but the bots have made the game near worthless to me... plus much of the magic that it held once the pkers and 12 year olds had their own servers is gone again since Free Trade and Wilderness were brought back.

After a while when the only threat is a single stealthy changeling or something, the crew get bored and just want the round to end. but I know that feel bro, why is secshitcurity so unresponsive?

Generally, shitcurity is so unresponsive because nobody actually signs up as security. And if they do, they're usually griefers. At least that's what it's like in Goonstation.

I feel dirty. I just thumbs down'd Pantera to keep it off the Pandora station I'm listening to. I love ya, bros, but you don't belong on my Goth-Rock station.

My pseudo-girlfriend cancelled our plan for next week. Albeit TBH I was kind of expecting it.
