I keep having this thought and it just baffles me.

The only somewhat reasonable explanation I can come up with is that there are poor people out these that can only afford one console and wrap too much of their identity around it.

...but then again, if nothing is being taken away (like the Horzion PC port) then getting upset means you have the biggest of brain worms.

Wait, so he's buying a $500 gaming PC just so he can play the game again? Surely he's already played it on PS4, right? He could play it again on PS4.

His brother who he hasn't seen in ages takes him aside, walking forward while surreptitiously drawing a pistol from behind his back. Fighting back tears he says "Tell me about the hedgehog Lennie*, tell me about the hedgehog."

Nothing is over! Nothing! You just don't turn it off! It wasn't my war! You asked me, I didn't ask you! And I did what I had to do to win! But somebody wouldn't let us win! And I come back to the world and I see all those maggots on the forum, protesting me, spitting. Calling me noob and all kinds of vile crap! Who are they to protest me? Who are they? Unless they've been me and been there and know what the hell they're yelling about!

Yuji Naka is flown out to relieve the man of his duty, to end his fighting. The man surrenders with his fighting spirit unbroken, he may no longer posses his Justifier or his Batter Up Bat, but he chants the teachings of Segata Sanshiro to cheering crowds when he lands.

Have you heard of Fermat's principle?
Stolar sagged miserably. "It's no use. Let's cut it out. Let's stop kidding
ourselves."

"What do you mean?"

"Face it! We're not going to win, not this time. We went too far. Our time's come."

There was silence.

Segata sat up a little. "When did you know?"

"I've known a long time. We're here because we've got more bits. But now we don't. We're being beaten."

"They know blast processing isn't real. Like any other marketing buzzword." Bernie Stolar's face was gray and flabby. "We took their gamers away from them. Now they're taking them back. It'll be a while, of course. We'll retreat slowly. It'll be another few years going back. There's a lot of upgrades we can add to the Genesis between now and then to keep it going."

Segata shook his head, still uncomprehending. "Even Sony and Microsoft. All of them. Waiting for their time to come. For us to lose and go away again. Where we came from."

Bernie Stolar paced back and forth. "Yeah, we'll be retreating from now on. Giving ground, instead of taking it. It'll be like this today--losing fights, draws. Stalemates and worse."

He raised his feverish eyes toward the ceiling of the little metal housing unit, face wild with passion and misery.

"But, by God, we'll give them a run for their money. All the way back! Every last bit!"

Her classic costume is more like her outfit in the original game, but has shorts instead of a miniskirt.

I never verified whether this particular guy was joking or not, but the sheer quantity of people echoing the sentiment in that thread makes me struggle to believe all were joking. Also a lot of 'my children are INCAPABLE of sharing and I REFUSE to attempt to teach them'

It's even worse than that. They turned it into a skort, so it looks the same as the original miniskirt, unless you try to look up it.

Aeschylus is talking nonsense when he says that it was Achilles who was in love with Patroclus, because Achilles was more beautiful not only than Patroclus, but than all the heroes, and his beard was not yet grown, moreover he was much younger, as Homer says.

Yes, that's one of the Great Thinkers and Founders of Western Philosophy taking time in the Symposium to drop shade about *fandom drama* over which member of their OTP was the bottom.

I'll agree with the very angry anime about it being extremely hard to go near the ac fan community without having spoilers and walk-throughs shoved in your face, I even have had to tell my own friends not to send me checklists of the content that changes when the month does so I can discover it for myself, but that's like... So trivial, just don't go near that community :shrug:

The easy mode gatekeeping comes down to bigotry because men who tow the party line of gatekeeping believe non-white/non-cis/non-straight people are lesser. That’s all.

While not quite a meltdown, I think this is a related topic: The Ballad of Msscribe breaks down a massive drama of early 00s Harry Potter fandom in which one person created a dozen-plus sockpuppet accounts with the purpose of getting attention and becoming a “BNF” - big name fan - among Harry Potter fanfiction writers. All those involved were adults.
