top zozzle, here's hoping for a disastrous IPO

I would say what's next is preemptively decrying death threats, but they already do that when they preemptively fabricate the death threats.

That's because you can still go outside. I grew too large for the basement door and am terminally online as a result.

RuneScape has become two games. Regular RuneScape is colloquially called RS3. The developer, Jagex, also maintains Old School RuneScape, which is a based on a version of the game from of a server backup made back in 2007. Both versions of RuneScape are free to play, but have much more content only available to paying subscribers, termed "members". Membership Bonds are a token redeemable for two weeks worth of membership, but you can also buy them from other players, meaning you can just buy them to sell for cold or you can get your membership by accumulating in-game money without spending IRL money. This is the only form of microtransaction in OSRS, but RS3 has a shitload, to the point that you can effectively buy skill progression instead of training it. RS3 is Jagex's cash cow, but OldSchool is more popular and has more active players. If RS3 died, the devs would likely try to railroad microtransactions into OSRS, so people like me see RS3's player base (especially the whales) as sacrificial lambs. "Paypig" is a term from the financial domination kink community, and I used it because like most RuneScape players I am a gross misanthrope.

I love the people who still play RS3 more than they love themselves, which is not at all. OSRS has zero MTX outside of bonds and it's all bankrolled by Jagex's income from the paypigs who keep "RuneScape" on life support.

Still waiting on that update-sized update

Gotta love regional pricing. My city has a bunch of GFS locations and that gallon of pickles is just under $15 at walmart because our local Walmarts have inflated prices on everything.

Which technically means Michael Caine, Orson Welles, Marlon Brando, James Doohan, and Cameron Mitchell all had the same career arc

Milton is the authority on Lucifer whether you like it or not, because he effectively created the character. Also, you're employing circular logic to sidestep the actual issue, which was the hypocrisy. Literary analysis is not about arguing backwards from a point of view you're emotionally attached to.

Why? Where I come from, we don’t worry about these fruity-tuity California style buds, okay? I’m from Scranton. What I’m smoking is dirt. So let's get that straight, Jack. Pure brick. Ass, okay? Americans are wanting to smoke that dirt, okay? You go up to someone and say, "Hey, I’m gonna give you a big bag of this heady bud, but I’m taking your stash of mids," they’re gonna say "C’mon, man! Get out of here!" That’s right, get the hell out of here! We like stems where I come from.

That's a really bad read of Milton, which is unfortunate because Satan, being barely in the actual Bible at all, is effectively a Milton character. In Paradise Lost, Lucifer wages a war against God for the unfairness of God making himself king of heaven and earth, but then upon his defeat he sets himself up as the absolute king of Hell. He loathes humanity because he sees himself as a superior being who should rule them by right, but also demands equal footing with the omnipotent being who created him. It's summed up in the fact that one of his primary stated goals is to try to show the hypocrisy of God, because he actually demonstrates massively hypocritical behavior at almost every conceivable opportunity. Lucifer wasn't the first to demand equality, he was the first to demand social classes.

You don't need a membership to shop at GFS and I doubt you're getting yours for $9 per gallon
