Whoa guy, you gotta calm down. Ease up friend.

"eased up"

now there's something i haven't felt in six months

Don't you think that might have something to do with just your current job? I know that jobs don't grow on trees and that some here are just doing it temporarily or to build a CV for later, but still. If I didn't have to work then I wouldn't, but I still like my job. It's challenging and engaging, but also rewarding and at times even fun. It wasn't easy to get and it does sometimes does suck, but maybe you're just not in the right place now.

career =/= job

True that, but I don't see the point you're trying to make?

i'm absolutely delighted to hear that you enjoy your career that you've spent years building the credentials for

but don't you think it's a little bit glib to say things like that to me when you've never really struggled this hard to find a single entry-level job

It'll be ok. School + work is never fun for anyone. When's your next break?

may 6

or, more aptly, approximately 35 years according to this old-ass website

most food

110 some odd applications over the course of 2 years, literally seeking out misery, and people start getting upset at you for being miserable and being honest about it

hahahaha fuck you cunt

oh wait back to smiles a customer is here

sapphire is ok with having a child be trans at a young age and think its child abuse to not let them do that. it cant be worse tbh

i mean like if a little boy wants to do girly stuff and dress like a girl and the parents support that how is that in any way abuse

i meant they want the child to DO hormone therapy and iirc, sex change. and if youre against that then youre worse than hitler.

i mean full-on biological treatment before puberty, that's pretty...iffy, do they really think that?

technically speaking, that's the "best" time to transition if you want to avoid developing certain irreversible characteristics

but i agree, it's still iffy

it can mean either

but no mandy isn't a mary sue in any way, but she IS kinda boring

verb stop profiling members you fucking stalker smh

?

and people forget

So how does that make it more of a scam than Doom, Street Fighter 4, or any of the other thousands of games that don't offer free post game content?

Well, it's less of a scam in SFV's case because that game does offer free post-game content in the form of the aforementioned patches and updates. It's not the best example I could've used, sure, but the fact of the matter is, you're paying less for SFV updates than you are for a roster update of any sports game, and you're ultimately getting more content.

Extra characters in SFV can be paid for, but you can also unlock them for free by grinding in-game currency--which is tedious, but I have the entire game's roster (8+ DLC characters) and Capcom never got a penny from me, and they never will. Give me an opportunity to get something for free and I'm taking it.

Stages and costumes do have to be paid for, unfortunately. I'm not interested in that stuff, but if someone were, they'd ultimately be paying less for all that stuff than they would be if they purchased an MLB game every year.

And balance updates are, of course, free. That's what matters most. If characters and balance patches aren't behind a pay wall, that's the most important thing.

That said, DLC is a scam no matter what--it's just a matter of what's scammier. SF4 was pretty scammy, but it was still less scammy than a sports game franchise, because every update of the game--Super SF4, SSF4 Arcade Edition, and Ultra SF4--were all priced under $60. Every subsequent update was only $40, if I recall correctly.

Can the same be said of any sports game franchise ever?

You're not wrong in saying it's a scam, but what's the bigger scam?

The Show games offer zero DLC

Yeah, they just charge you $60 a year for the same game with minimal updates. That's almost worse than DLC.

New players in a sports game isn't really comparable to new characters in a fighting game, but I don't wanna get too deep into the intricacies. At the end of the day, the discussion is about what you personally think is worth shelling out extra money for, which I think is more subjective than the discussion meaningfully allows.

also
>actually buying every single update of a sports game

im laffin, the updates are always much cooler when you have two years between them on average. Only reason I'm getting 17 is because the players look like Oblivion characters and because this iteration fixes 90% of my issues with 16. I probably won't buy another installment until 2019 or 2020.

Of course, but aren't you kinda shooting yourself in the foot there?

You basically just admitted that sports games aren't worth purchasing every single year, because it takes three or four years for the incremental changes to feel at all substantial. And I agree with you.

Whereas I can give you ten franchises where you can purchase their games every single year, and I'll promise you that, even if you don't like the games in question, they offer substantially more content than you would expect to be in a simple patch or DLC update.

Verbatim, District 12

use whatever you want

and street fighter v isn't even good

That's a pretty huge patch.

i've seen bigger

not joking

fuck working

yeah

also, pissing off reactionaries is cool, but i value artistic integrity a little bit more

that said, i know jack shit about iron fist except that he was in Marvel vs. Capcom 3

if he was asian, he should've stayed asian
