Joke-but-not-really entry: after several years the efforts of the mod community have polished SKYRIM VR into the product it should have been at launch, its still a gently caress on to get it set up but its one of the only true open worlds out there in VR even now. I love dipping into it and just enjoying being there.

I don't think anyone was saying that but Shame Boy knew it was because of the previous time it happened and given that he knows it's from that it doesn't seem like it's unreasonable to be unhappy about it so I'm not sure you're helping anything by saying something that sounds a lot like saying they must be overreacting because you couldn't identify that image?

huh? given the context of the previous time someone bought them that avatar with red text and the photo it's from why would you say that?

nah it was a different avatar previously, that's just the only thing i can think of that might be related.

anyway i'm mostly just confused and this was the last thread i had done significant talking in so i figured i might have offended or creeped out someone in here and i would like to think i am a Nice Poaster :shrug:

to be clear i didn't actually know it, i ran a reverse-gis on it and the first thing to come up was "jerry seinfeld dated a 17 year old" and i went "... oh"

it's not plot-critical but it is way more powerful than you should be able to, there's a unique gun behind the highest-level lock in the game right in the starting area and you're supposed to come back later but can just grab it in vr

product managers are fine if they do their job right because they make it so i don't have to talk to customers and that's great

IME product managers are more there to talk to their own execs and fill their minds with visions of how wonderful the product could be with a bunch of new features that just have good vibes, not existing user demand

why would you talk to the existing customers, they're just gonna tell you to improve the existing (horribly broken) product, but they've already paid for it and don't matter. you can't disrupt the market with such blaise incremental improvements!

using a red text av so obscure it derails a thread for 2 pages as people try to ascertain its true meaning is a great way to maximize the use of your $5 to be honest.

the main thing is that rando made a really dumb avatar purchase that would've been pretty funny in that they wasted their money on the lamest dunk of all time. but all the hand wringing has 100% vindicated their purchase, which is probably not the best outcome.

and that's the part of my post that you keep not getting

who cares if it's "vindicated their purchase". It's a lovely thing to do and if they keep doing it they should be banned or something.

and again it's very annoying that you assume I'm not understanding what you're saying just because I disagree with it

half the reason i loved fallout as a kid was that i got the random encounter that gives you the alien blaster and it made the beginning and mid game basically trivial. which was great for me - even as a kid i was bad at video games

a couple of years back i worked on a project where they thought like this, but actually they hadn't paid yet. just smashing the betray button over and over despite this.

as a result the predicted revenue chart became very much like the intel itanium chart :v:

Mods please change my name to "Tooter Skeleton" TIA.


I don't think I'd have recommended dating 17 year old me at all because I was a massive (but skinny) nerd, but when i stopped being so terribly nerdy my wife tells me that the main problem was/is that I am totally oblivious to any attention I was getting from members of the opposite (or in fact same) sex.

just as well we met tbh because wow does dating sound like it sucks! Sorry you all had to try so hard to not be lonely, maybe try getting drunk and taking your shirt off and then stealing someone else's girlfriend by accident? it worked for me!
