Things a sportsman does does not necessarily constitute good sportsmanship, to put it simply.

So is nobody else confused that Neo claimed that 'Please' was falling to the wayside, or was it just me

Funny enough... looking this up to link an article got me two results back to back

One by a psychologist who Is basically saying: "STOP saying please and thank you so dang much!"

Another by someone with no qualifications saying: "ALWAYS SAY IT!!! ALWAYS!!!"

Kind of interesting.

I would ask you to cite your sources, but I imagine that that would be a lesson in futility.

He's citing this: which is a pretty interesting article.

Interesting and topical it may be, but Neo apparently read the title and based his argument off of that, while the article actually talks about it in an entirely different manner, having to do with debts and the repayments thereof. Or maybe it is what Neo meant. I've rather lost track.

EDIT FOR CLARIFICATIONS: the article made no mention of coercion, more confusion really.

I was just referencing how interesting it was to have two back to back articles with different views.

it was just a random tidbit. Not a dohnut.

Can you cite your source?

Do you think people would go insane if they suddenly like... understood how I thought? Like... if they had a part of my mind?

I don't mean this facetiously (WOW spelled right the first time)

Just wondering if being touched by my own mind is some sort of eldritch torture.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Well, I have no idea where you're going with anything half the time even though there seems to be some structure behind it, and unlike with most forumites my mental image of you is just your username, so yeah, pretty eldritch.

[FallacyofUrist]

As in, a tabletop game where you're a small, cold, and incredibly common star?

Hm... hm.

I'm trying to imagine Neonivek's hypothetical avatar and I think it'd probably be some random obscure kids cartoon character because that's the stuffs he watch and complain about all the time.

And I mean obscure, not like, Disney. Like some random Spanish cartoon that he complain about the fact that he can't udnerstand Spanish.

[TheBiggerFish]

Well this happened.  Again.

[Sirus]

Only one thing comes to mind when I try to picture Neonivek, and that is Lewis Carroll's Humpty Dumpty.

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less."

No, Kevin, we understand you. You're part of the DF gestalt now

If you like Dishonored (the video game), go read this, now.

It has long lists of weird little details that I never even imagined the game had, and I played it several times (making sure to poke my nose into every cranny possible).

I new Dishonored took "attention to detail" to new heights, but some of this stuff leaves you wondering "who would think of that?"

[Rolan7]

That's wonderful!  I thought the game was pretty good about changing based on morality, and I caught a couple of these special cases, but they thought of a lot more than I expected...  Wow.
