Kojima convinced me with marketing to pay €60 to be an amazon delivery man

Not faulting whoever likes it but it ain’t for me

yeah, you do kind of have to be in a specific frame of mind to enjoy it—it's very difficult to describe the appeal when it's much easier to put the game down on the basis of what you do in it—but for me at least, it's always been more about the experience

like, i pay nintendo $60 on a regular basis so i can be a fat italian plumber, but of course, there's more to it than that

but if the core gameplay experience isn't doing anything for you, that's fair—i found it interesting and uniquely relaxing

I don't  know if I'll ever understand how disagreeable opinions are supposed to be "unsafe."

because you're taking the term "safe space" too literally, although it's not a difficult concept

it's about finding comfort and peace-of-mind in a place where you don't have to put up with people's bullshit

the specific sort of "disagreeable opinions" that you're vaguely alluding to aren't intrinsically "unsafe," but they do get annoying, and some people don't have the energy to put up with them, so they'd rather be in a place where they don't constantly feel like they're on the defensive

since not everybody has the luxury of having a place like this, they have to be created manually

I had the expectation that this thread would make me look fantastic, yes. And it did.

eh

If it was delivered in a clinical way, and the person had actual evidence to back it up, then it would be allowed. I've said that even people arguing for phrenology can go into volcano. It's marked as a NSFW channel for a reason.

is this a popular section of the server, or does it rarely get posted in

It's the third channel down. It's in the main chats. This is how my server is laid out:

Spoiler

so did you not see anything like this coming or what

there's no reason to ban anybody for having stupid opinions, but if the server really had been advertised as a "safe space" for these weak, weak people who so desperately need attention, or want to cling to the notion that they're special, or whatever the fuck is going on in their developing prepubescent minds, then it's not shock that they'd leave once the illusion that they're trying to maintain is shattered

Well, that's how it is advertised

I guess it's about TV shows. If I to believe to the description "Television connects us all" it's an open, wide... umm discord server. I don't think there is a one defined community in there, so things like that is bound to happen quite often until some sort of community will take a shape.

you're right, the description is so vague that you can project anything you want

what it should probably say instead is "a modest server with a focus on freedom of expression" because that's clearly the most important ideal to secondclass

empathy is a good thing to emphasize, but not if it's going to foster that stereotypical snowflake mentality where no one's allowed to have conversations about gender in a way that makes you uncomfortable

I take issue with this. At no point did I advertise my server as a safe space. People assumed it was a "safe space" because it was an LGBT/trans server that had strict rules against slurs, harassment, etc.

i would have to be stupid to take your word for it 100%, so i'm naturally going to assume that you're leaving out details because you're sick of looking bad

And you absoluitely can have LGBT people in a designated debate/free speech room. We aren't lesser minded just because of being LGBT lol. The sensitive ones don't speak for all of us.

wanting a drama-free safe space doesn't make you lesser minded, and it's weird that you think otherwise

edit:
don't you love when you accidentally leave out an important word like DOESN'T

given that you haven't provided the full story, i'm inclined to side with the people leaving

there's no reason to ban anybody for having stupid opinions, but if the server really had been advertised as a "safe space" for these weak, weak people who so desperately need attention, or want to cling to the notion that they're special, or whatever the fuck is going on in their developing prepubescent minds, then it's not shock that they'd leave once the illusion that they're trying to maintain is shattered

having a designated debate room where free speech absolutism is a cornerstone in what's been advertised as a safe space for LGBT+ people is a very poor mixture, and you really can't have both

it also sounds like some people left not because of the decision not to ban that person, but because you personally made it a much bigger thing than it needed to be by going on and on about it, to a point where you had people saying "okay fine, can we just drop it now" at the very beginning of the logs (clearly showing this went on for a much longer time than was shown)

no one wants to be part of a channel that's led by some raving druggie, despite the fact that you will never accept that that's what you are

i certainly think it's cool that you won't ban someone for having incendiary opinions, but perhaps if you made the intentions of the server clearer, you wouldn't be having this mass exodus of people who thought this was a drama-less server

this is also why nobody here is going to join, ever, because you're the one running it, and you've consistently proven that you don't know the first thing about how to run something like this

fun times, but i wish some more QoL things had been implemented

the fact that manila clams don't stack, and that they have to be crafted one by one, is kinda horseshit

i love all my neighbors, and filling up the museum is pretty much my end goal

although i haven't seen one, the existence of a "feminine" penis is not wholly inconceivable to me

it helps when you don't find yourself attracted to either sex organ

a man can take a dick right in the ass, enjoy it, and still not necessarily be gay

You're skipping May and going into June with Spongebob: Battle For Bikini Bottom Rehydrated

i hesitate to count remasters and shit, but i might just get this anyway, if only because it's really cool that it's happening at all, and it was never part of my childhood

Do you play multiplayer games?

yeah, but i'm about as picky as you would imagine

i was thinking about going for Ninjala just because it's free even though it looks dumb

>using weapons

well you're obviously a huge fag who's not epic enough for this internet

Rolling is much better and Anor Londo snipers aren’t hard but bonewheels are

Even the weakest greatshield in the game completely invalidates bonewheels.

Rolling is better, but why limit yourself to that when you don't have to? You're just risking death for no reason.

>dex build

Just kidding I don’t know why people hate dex so much

I think it's because poking enemies with a spear behind a shield is considered lame/cheesy, but the same people who feel that way also think that two-handing a greatsword for the entire game is the only way to play, even though that could also be seen as boring and cheesy.
