Play both. One thing being great shouldn’t affect another great thing.

My dude, the patch just came out. It’s likely just a surge of traffic.

Joined! Let’s manage democracy together, brother!

Charlie Chaplin got done dirty. He was rocking that stache for decades earlier.

My dude, I agree with you. I’m just explaining how we get bullshit like this movie. Not actually supporting it or approving in any way. I can tell you right now that I have no intention of seeing this movie.

Also, everything is awesome.

I’m not disputing anything you’re saying, just trying to explain the logic of a movie production studio. If they’re trying to make a Minecraft movie, they’re going to gear it to maximize the revenue from their audience.

If they made it a kids movie, it’s because they thought that would make them the most money. Whatever kind of movie they made, it’s for monetary reasons.

That may be so, but that’s irrelevant to them. Their IP is Minecraft, not Roblox. They only need to appeal to the largest demographic of people who enjoy Minecraft (aka kids, not adults). The other interests of their target audience are hardly relevant. All that matters is that they’re interested in the topic though to see a movie.

Or more accurately, bug their parents to pay to see the movie. Because those are additional tickets, too.

Shout-out to his spiritual successor, Homey D. Clown.

Homey don’t play dat.

1. that’s freaking adorable.

2. where can I get that “welcome” mat?

“I felt like it.” Is all the reason the cat needs.

I can acknowledge that you’re partially correct. What I was suggesting was geared towards preventing people from acting in negative impulses. Basically, your brain thinking “no, don’t do creepy shit.”

But with your example, exercising rationality actually would help, because “the sadness that comes from seeing couples in public or among your friends and knowing that you’ll never experience what they’re doing” is actually an irrational thought.

There’s no reason to assume this is actually the case. It’s a self fulfilling prophecy that’s easily dispelled by recognizing that you’re actually capable of having that experience. Some proper therapy can help replace those intrusive thoughts with more empowering ones!

Edit: fixed an autocorrect issue that changed my intended meaning. Sorry.

I’m not saying to get rid of them, I’m saying to exercise self control so you don’t act on them. I dunno about resources on that, my dude. It’s just kind of a necessity to be a responsible adult.

Fair point, but there is a simple solution. Learn how to deal with it. Learn self control. Let that rational part of your mind do the driving.

OR we could teach people about respect and human decency…

Sorry, op. I’m locking this post because the discussions are getting out of hand.

Hey, op! I just wanted to thank you again for your contributions. You’ve cleaned up your posts a lot better, and I’m glad to see how much more traction they’ve been getting. Nicely done!

Easy there, Satan.

Sports games have been doing it faaaar longer. Madden started in 1988, released a sequel in 1990, then hasn’t missed a year ever since. The baseball and basketball counterparts existed just as long.

But WoW didn’t really do anything new, just bigger, better, with a lot more funding. Everquest and Ultima Online did everything first, they just didn’t have that Blizzard money.

Hate to break it to you, but this had been around for decades before those games came around.
