Oh, interesting. That's like the one feature I don't really use it for. It's weird how subtle differences in what you were around for can make such big differences in what stuff you use. Like literally everyone I know or knew my age is on Discord. It's our primary social platform. I'm in like 30 servers and active in 10 of them. I'm in the discord for every game I actively play. And every game has one, I just assumed that was a common thing to do.

But seeing peoples comments about negativity and other stuff, I have never seen that on discord. So I guess it makes sense why I didn't get pushed away from it. It's all been incredibly positive and great gaming communities for hanging out in. I can help so many people, usually when I play a game, I get pretty into it. So I tend to know alot about it, and it's nice to be able to help out people with questions about it. I don't know where else people that aren't in a games discord go to ask those questions, usually the discords are pretty huge.

In a game where you are playing a role you define with your playstyle, that makes alot more sense. Here, you are playing an established story. No matter what choices you make in your gameplay, the character in this game will always react how they would react in that situation. It's not really intended to be that style of immersive, it's an immersive storyline, but you are not playing an avatar that is intended to represent you, or your imagined character.

Tomb raider games managed to be best sellers in an age where it was "wrong" to have a female protagonist. I think this game will do ok.

I think the point was more that despite their personal experiences, they are still supporting this mindset. So even if it was more widespread, it wouldn't be preventing whatever is causing this "movement".

Yeah, people in real life won't be morons, so that would never happen to us. I'm sure the company giving us the lowest bid has probably found some heretofore unknown innovation in efficiency. The end result will be just as good, but way cheaper...

Yeah, we need more conflict. We'll create the ultimate "them" for us to "us" against. Contact with them is literally lethal! Can't get more conflict than that... yet.

Just so anyone that had to suffer through this knows, the company that makes them, that you have to order them through, always makes sure to remind buyers that they will likely need at least 10% left handed ones too. Because, of course, they made left-handed ones. If your school didn't have left-handed ones or didn't have enough, that was a choice they made.

That sentiment they manufactured is exactly what I was, apparently inexpertly, lampooning.

I'm thinking I got a couple copies of the dna that makes these, and a dna gap of whatever was supposed to be next in line. My virtual copy of the world around me is detailed down to the milimeter, which, according to everyone else I know, is "not normal". Comes in real handy when parking a car in a tight spot or cluttered garage. Or navigating a crowd while reading a book. But I definitely suck to a similar degree at lots of other things, lol.

My particular gaps and duplicates worked out to still be kind of useful, but I work with alot of people who got a different result from their grab bag of assorted dna sequencing mishaps. My job is basically to make sure they can still enjoy as many aspects of their life as possible, and luckily, that is pretty enjoyable for me.

Hehe yeah, "Sure, you could buy perfect diamonds grown in lab conditions that are way prettier than anything we could offer for way cheaper, or you could buy our authentically dirty or broken diamonds to -prove- you paid way more money to anyone that looks close enough to notice. Won't they be jealous of how rich you were".
