Yeah I figured, I just had that all typed up before you posted. You're some sort of beholderninja.

Dude's a cacodemon.

I saw this on Boing Boing. Sorta ROFL RAGE.
Rich people complaining about how little they can afford.

I'd be happy to relieve the stress of their money from them.

My favorite part is the very end.

“These people never dreamed they’d be making $500,000 a year,” he said, “and dreamed even less that they’d be broke.”

Heh... being forced to abandon petty luxuries that cost more than an average person's entire yearly salary is not the same as being broke.  To say such a thing is to admit being completely disconnected from reality.  I think the majority of today's upper class have no concept of their own gravity.

Mitt Romney as an example, is hilarious in his efforts to relate to people who haven't lived their entire lives rich.

This was pretty petty of me, but today I got mad at someone for saying that their religion was the one true religion.
I don't really believe in a faith myself and they were talking in class about "We believe" this and "we believe" that.
I was aggravated and told them it was only like that from their point of view and that even other
denominations of christians believed different things.
They said that those people weren't "real christians".
Like, ARRRGH! So frustrating!
Why must religious people discriminate against each other like that? It wouldn't kill them to actually accept others.

Some subjects get me kinda riled up.

[Bauglir]

Depending on their religion, some of them DO believe that accepting others would send them to hell. I'm not helping, am I?

So after putting up with and/or answering some of the easiest, stupidest questions I've ever had to answer about an online game for FOUR FUCKING HOURS today, I quit my Runescape clan. The last straw was when I logged on and the first thing I saw in the clan chatbox was "Jagex needs to find something to base their game on besides PvP." If you have played this game for ANY nontrivial amount of time you should know by now that 10-15% of the game, MAXIMUM, is PvP-oriented. Other complaints I had to listen to today included:

"If Jagex changes Bandos armour, I'm quitting." (this person not only does not have Bandos armour, but it has already been confirmed that the appearance will change this month - like nearly every other piece of armour in the game)
"Why does the bonus experience go down over 8 hours? That's fucking stupid." (every March and September there's a Bonus EXP weekend, during which most skill-based actions earn 2.7x the normal amount of experience, decreasing to 1.1x over the course of 8 hours logged in - can you figure out why this is a stupid complaint?)
"The 10M store credit prize is stupid. Why can't we just have 10M coins instead?" (a recent update introduced a daily prize wheel - one or two spins a day per player, one of the major prizes being 10 million gold; contrary to popular belief, this actually is 10 million gold, and NOT store credit)

So I quit in a blind screaming rage and am refusing to join a clan ever again unless I make one myself.

Also, I've come to the realization that while I can tolerate or even like individual persons, I hate people in general with a seething passion. Bay12 is the only large community I can have any degree of positive feelings towards at this point.

Quitting MMO's is the second healthiest thing you can do!

[TherosPherae]

cutting for scroll space - you're welcome, people with small screens

Oh man, Runescape. I'm... not sure if I should really go into this, since it's a fairly long and involved rant that may or may not devolve into utterly insane rambling incomprehensible to anyone who hasn't played that game.

For a tl;dr: Sturgeon's Law. 90% of the community is pretty much shit. Very, very loud shit. And, depending on your point of view, the law can also be applied to the devs and their near-weekly releases.

[Blargityblarg]

Yeah, I played Runescape for years; I quit when I realised I wasn't actually having any fun.

[SirAaronIII]

Same here.
The thing that really gets me was that once I went on the Gamefaqs reviews page for it and I saw a bunch of low scores and I thought "Wow how could anyone not like this game?"
Nowadays it's flipped turnways: "Wow how could anyone like this game?"
That's just me though, some people I know still play it. Mostly out of obligation to others.

[Tellemurius]

Oi bullshit body don't get sick today, im suppose to be happy today damnit.

Vladimir Putin is about to become God-Emperor President of Russia for the 3rd time.


"Look at your President, Russia. Now back at me. Now at Medvedev. Now me. Sadly, he's not me, but he can be once this election is over. Anything is possible when you vote Putin. I'm on a horse."

Vladimir Putin: Rule like a man, man.

GUAARRRRGH I HATE WHEN EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT WHAT THEY HATE AND WHEN GAMES ARE BEING BORING AND USELESS! RAAAARGH!
