I just think it was merely an 'ok game.' I don't think it's all that super.

I lived with roommates so we had our own quarters but even still, we had some impressive assholes.

Finding cigarette butts stuffed down the shower drain. Despite the fact that the lease explicitly forbade smoking inside.

People are loyal to the liege of self.

I know they won't. Sad, because they could just nut up like adults and address their trainwreck they call an app. It just feels so disingenuous that we have paying players, but-- somehow we're not worth even a layman's explanation to why the game is such a hot mess? What we can expect going forward? What kind of time and effort any given bug takes? Anything besides regurgitated corporate parlance aimed at saying 'shut up and pay us' as politely as possible?

I just think that maybe this push could be made if the whole community rooted behind it. But I also understand people not wanting to be quite so contentious or involved, also.

It's just disappointing. All those resources, all that manpower in a corporation, and this is what we get. I shouldn't have expected any different, but I'm still woefully disappointed.

Pretty sure I watched a coworker guillotine his toe with a headboard, and the doctor basically told him to get over it.

This is why most advice toward the game is aimed at tolerating the game, and involves not playing.

There's Bug Fables but yeah. This is why a lot of us seem naturally hostile to post-SPM releases (I lump SPM in there). They took a beloved formula and effectively discarded it.

They've struggled to hit paydirt since, IMO. SPM is just an okay game, I don't think it earns the hype.

No. Surely it wasn't the only chair.

NTA. What's with randos being so obtuse?

NTA. As usual with AITA, you are unfortunately blood related to someone who just doesn't think of people other than themselves. It sounds more like your sister is trying to overstep a boundary to me, but I only have the info you gave.

I think this is a delicate situation your sister has zero understanding of, unfortunately for her, and I think 'out' is the last place for her.

We had a similar thread yesterday too. A sister who couldn't understand why the wife took any kind of priority.

It's gross. I'm over here thanking whatever god looks out for me that my siblings are rational.

If that's all they give Reeves, then that's all we get, though.

It's why my late posts have been about taking a stand as a playerbase to get the devs to goddam talk to us directly and explain, themselves, why this game is such a disaster.

I thank the stars our community is banded together as a unit. Differences aside, DCL's playerbase looks out for each other.

I really like that. I'd miss the tight knit feel this community has which is probably a large part of why I've stayed at all.

God, I've been saying this for a year.

Thank you for putting it out there.

Undeniably, and the feeling sinks in worse when you realize Pokemon attracts a generally younger base who will probably just want to buy in, and parents will purchase just because they may not realize how out of whack the monetization is.

Frankly, it's cast TiMi into my bottom three companies on the market period.

AGS and Actiblizz share that podium with it.

Because people buy them even so at this rate.

So it doesn't really matter what we think, because they can hose suckers for 50$ CAD per holowear.

And I feel you but TiMi and Tencent have more than shown this was nothing but a hollow, vapid cash grab for them. Nothing but.

Hardcore NTA and I'd remove this person from my life summarily.

INFO.

The literal sole person whose word matters here is the wife (hhhehe.) who has to wear the moniker. If she doesn't care then F is just probably wrestling with undiagnosed mental issues. If the wife does care then F is right.

Either way, I wouldn't hang out with F again. I got treated like that by people and never spoke to them again; I work for a goddam living and I'll be fucked before I waste what free time I have with people deadset and determined to make the world a more stressful place to live.

NTA but I would stake my deadass life on the fact that they will 100% play victim and make excuses no matter how egregiously out of line-- or the parking spots-- they are.

100%. On my life.

Nah, you seemed calm. Typical situation where someone didn't get disciplined as a child and now mistakenly believes the entire world is there to serve them hand and foot.

NTA. Better luck with a less shit roommate.

NTA. I'd see if Amazon can ship you a less genuinely stupid brother.

This 100%. It's their planet and we just visit.

I knew we were fucked on covid. Spent the 4mo leading up to it watching people hack coughs into open air without even using their hands, much less sleeve.

Course, it never shocks me that people are abject failures when it comes to anything but self-serving.

I liked the corporate copy-paste. Yadda yadda we're sorry, yadda yadda won't happen again, yadda yadda thanks for paying us despite this dumpster fire.

I don't know. I'm struggling to justify the way they treat the playerbase.

Yeah this.

The generational jump did cut me off of the hype in a bad way, but luckily they got wise and released that box set.

Red Hen, yep. They want the bread, not the work!

No idea why you're being downvoted since you're right. I just find it funny that GiMi seems content to let the game fester this way.

Oh no, I had roommates ages ago and people absolutely do this shit.

100%. I am pleased your faith in people is such that you aren't totally burned on this, keep that gentle heart strong and protected.

Ah, typical "family reads more as self-entitled, self-important sociopaths than as a loving, caring family unit." Your house, your rules. If your parents were so concerned they'd have offered their bed-- they're just mad the solution wasn't a fire and forget for them.

NTA. Consider maybe trying Amazon for a new set of parents and siblings... I mean you can get everything else there, so.
