The thing about MMOs being an escapist power fantasy reminds me of Anders Breivik, the self-radicalized Norwegian terrorist who took a year off from work & life to play World of Warcraft 16 hours a day.
if I spent a year playing wow for 16 hours a day, I'd probably murder some people too. and I *like* wow.

Well, nurse sharks are like sea-kitties. They just want naps and shrimp snacks. Blacktips are more like puppies, except for the chainsaw face.

Blacktips are my favorite shark these days. I've only ever got my hands on little bonnetheads/leopards (and rays, there's always rays). Sharks are the best :coolfish: :hfive:

the problem is it's difficult to get a timestamp because its set up to keep changing in relation to the size of the entire stream - and the stream is still live. When the stream finally ends it will be easy to put a timestamp up though.

Blacktips are super awesome! It's crazy how curious they are, and how skittish they can be around people, they really do act like dogs sometimes.

Nurse sharks are my favorite because look at that loving face.

I think the timestamp isn't locked since its a stream. But if you scroll back and keep an eye on the upper left.

I know this gets tossed around a lot but they seriously are just a lot of sad, pathetic middle aged nerds who are caught up in this fantasy of being a space god. Its like the people who buy really expensive poo poo they can't afford because they have no other positive qualities and they think by buying expensive things this will make up for that and people will like them. And it is why these type of people are unlikable and vicious when this fantasy is put into question.


Imagine they were the type of nerds bullied in high school. Imagine never leaving that ostracism/siege mentality and retreating inside of your mind for thirty years. Now you have your unwashed Star Citizen


Some of us who retreated into our minds managed to maintain a semblance of sanity. Its easier to live in your mind when everything else around you is terrible. I can speak on that point from personal experience due to quite a few tragic events in my childhood leading up to more tragic events through out most of my pre-adult life. Thankfully I managed to retain the ability to see reality and not live wholly within my own universe. Some people just cant adapt their coping mechanisms to accept actual reality and instead try to project their own mental picture of their "how it should be" on "how it actually is" which usually ends up making them further retreat into their own head/rear end when its arguably NOT happening the way they want.

Kind of interesting to really think about, but it falls into such a hard topic because its different for everyone. On one hand, i sympathize with many of the backers ive seen post. I know what its like to think a long those lines. On the other, ive never held those thoughts and decided "This is how it should be! SO IT IS AND WILL BE!" But i also have almost an entire life time of understanding that "retreating into the mind can help make things seem better than they are, but its not going to solve anything at all" so i may have an advantage there compared to some.

Effort post hurt head, time to get ready for work.

CPS may have something to say about that sort of abuse. However you can't know without trying, so go for it.

On one hand, nobody below 18 should have to experience the jankyness of SC current PTU.

But on the other hand, there is a high chance your going to ruin computer gaming for her forever, so that might be a good (if brutal) parenting technique to encourage more time spent in study and sports.

Decision, decision...
