That was a lot of words about how serious Xcom and a partial-conversion mod for Xcom are.

Lol to be so invested in a game let alone a mod. And to self impose a bullshit requirement that is dumb as hell and so arbitrary. Like, what you think anyone gives a poo poo about YOU NOW NEED TO PLAY CHESS YP SAY ANYTHING IN THIS THREAD! IM NOT A MOD JUST DO IT. Literally just shoot me if I ever get my head stuck that far into my own rear end.

The Long War mod caused a lot of drama and constant slapfights over literal years in the xcom thread and coolguye had a stress breakdown over it at some point. I think he had the mindset of managing a Let's Play thread as opposed to just being the OP of a regular Games thread and was used to getting more hands-on support and backup from mods in the way they do over on LP. When really, it would've been better for him to just wash his hands of the stuff and peace out because, frankly, the Long War mod discourse was incredibly loving unbearable. Guess he still held a grudge about that.

I gotta admit, it's a rare occasion that I look at a wall'o'text post and literally think "nope, tl;dr", but that one got me. Also because I dont know wtf XCOM is, so I was lost from the get-go.

It came way more recently but one time coolguy got mad at me for saying theres no objectively best class in XCOM 2 and after posting several novels that I refused to read, tried to get me to settle it "the usual way". I never knew what that meant until now  He also confused me for being someone who rips on him all the time, which if you're at a point where people rip on you so constantly you cant tell them apart, maybe you should post better

The XCOM and XCOM 2 threads really did get terrible at times, so I understand being frustrated over a perceived lack of mod response to that, but goddamn coolguye needs to cool off. If I were in his position I woulda just stopped engaging with the threads.

It's been all day and I still havent managed to get over "mods are useless for not dropping everything to set up, referee, and enforce chess games in my thread, so instead I just poo poo it up so hard everyone stopped posting for a while. This is a victory" Like god drat I'm not creative enough to come up with that as a joke, and here it was with 100% sincerity I just cant deal with it

Speaking of chess...quote:A better analogy would be if someone walks into a championship tournament, says "GEE I THINK I MAY HAVE TRANSCENDED THE UNDERSTANDING OF SOME OF YOU GRANDMASTERS HERE, WANT TO JOIN MY NEW SCHOOL OF CHESS STRATEGY?", then loses by scholar's mate twice in the first round. Can't even remember who it was aimed at, but this is an all time classic for why it's pointless to engage a bad faith poster.

feel like i'm falling through some kind of time portal because i haven't thought about Victor the poster in like ten years and wow, now i'm remembering what a dumb piece of poo poo that dude was really one of the natural consequences of the effortpost era of d&d, folks with some wild belief systems but who could bang out pages of well formatted arguments got a lot more traction before they got smoked out and shunned

I think i say this in every version of the sagas thread, but its pretty amazing how much Helldump and LF changed the forum, and a big part of it was giving people a space to call out Debate Club Libertarian Contrarians as bigoted assholes. Specifically, a space where they weren't governed by debate club style rules and modded by other Debate Club Libertarians.

Was it the "imagine a marble" copy paste origin? I mostly remember a series of spheres with some meaning attached.

Who What Now posted:Eripsa? Man, I haven't thought about him in forever. I think so? Some people were able to glean some meaning after questioning him, but it was some advanced brain force stuff. Which, to be honest, plenty of philosophy was written by people whose brains just... worked on a different plane then the rest of society. The main difference was that they were able to explain it well.
