I sometimes notice the same mindset that we see in those overpowered game mods - people would be obsessed with finding the strongest items in a RPG, in order to become unstoppable killing machines, and at some point they can't play the game normally anymore (unless they have this godly gear). The challenge and the thrill of advancing from a weakling to a true hero are gone...

Oh, there is worse - adding some nice new content to a game, but restricting it only for online players. It's like a big middle finger in the faces of solo players like myself. With the April Fools joke at least I know no one would ever get to fight this monster, so I don't feel so ripped off.

"I want to love you, but that's not dramatic enough, so now I'll spend a few hours looking for reasons to hate you. And if I don't find any, I'll just do something incredibly rash and stupid, so that you would start hating me instead." Go realism!

WASD... that would be УьЯА (in standard BG typeset) or ВАСД (in the Phonetic one). It's really frustrating when I have to retype a whole long thing because it was in the wrong alphabet and I didn't notice. But that's what it's like to be bilingual... good thing I don't also use a third alphabet - that would have been a royal mess! And then there's also Macedonians and Serbs, whose alphabets combine BOTH Cyrillic and Latin letters. Or Romanian, which has stuff like à, á, â, ã, ä, å and so on. Damn vampires!

"Needs more detail" - a popular joke among the PWAD makers. As source ports and editors have advanced, standards have increased too. Thus, you can't really hope to have your map taken seriously unless you spend a lot of time just adding detail and decorations. Yay.

It's kind of sad when leveling up is seen as a nuisance... even though it's like 90% of the game. But hey, you must rush to the endgame content! No time to waste, go faster!

Something I saw on Facebook today - a mod that adds sarcastic hints to Skyrim's loading screens. I should gather them and show them to you sometime.

Consent?!? Ugh, what are you, a a liberal? :P

Fun trivia - you motivated me to try and beat the floppy version of X-wing (at some point in the near future). Yeah, I still dread the inferior controls, but then I thought "Hey, if Deathstalker could go so far (considering his dark history with simulators as a whole), I have no excuse not to try it." I could even go all in and play it with the two mission packs thrown in as well. Anyway, there were some really fun moments back in the day, like that hour-long Maulotaur fight in Heretic. I actually went out, grabbed something for lunch, ate it, and came back... and you were still fighting the big horned freak. I also have a couple of ideas for insane new games you could try out some day (insane players need insane games, right?).
