Yes, I'm Still Alive,

and really have nothing to say. Nothing interesting has happened, my life still is(and always will be) sub-par and...


Yeah, I'm going to rant now.


I've been posting on Gamefaqs(yes I have an account and an urge to interact with morons, apparently) and I've been seeing a lot of arguments about priced DLC and how most of the time it's "locked on disc". Normally, this wouldn't be a major thing to me, but the majority of the people posting about it are fucking idiots. It's pretty much common knowledge that Microsoft set a requirement for all dlc to be priced and has been known to refuse to let free dlc be released and any free dlc that is released was either the result of a drawn out battle between MS and the publisher(s)/devs or a game doing so damned well it wouldn't really be a big hit to release some free dlc. Apparently, people don't understand this has been a normal practice in gaming for quite a while now and how similar tactics have been a part of business as a whole since like, forever. They'd much rather call the devs and publishers evil, bitch about it on a forum they most likely don't monitor and then call anyone who calls them on their stupidity mindless sheep and 'white knights' because apparently; presenting even a semi logical counter argument means you're blindly defending the publishers/devs.

Apparently people also don't understand that they're not being forced to buy optional dlc and that even though ten bucks is overpriced for a pack of skins/new models; it's still not a lot of money, even in this economy. Even when three dlc packs containing skins/new models cost ten bucks each it's still not that much; even for someone who's poor especially if you have a basic understanding of how to budget your money. Even then, you can go out and mow a few lawns and earn sixty bucks. But no, people want to bitch about how optional content is priced and can't seem to grasp that gaming is big business these days and that's how business works.



Fucking people these days have no grasp of hard work, it's all about goofin' off; playing with their damned cell phones instead of working and feeling entitled to free stuff instead of paying for it or earning it.

I didn't just make a joke, that was serious. I'm a lazy bastard myself, but I don't act like I'm entitled to free shit unless it was guaranteed as free with a purchase of something else or for signing up for some service or unless I actually earned it; in which case it's not really free.



Thank you internet, you have managed to make me feel old; again. Seriously, I swear I'm not old; sure I am a couple of years away from hittin' thirty but that's not old, no matter what those brightly colored JRPGS say. Mentally, I may be a bit like a crotchety old man, but that's personal preference, not age. I've never liked raging parties, I can't stand techno(You'll forgive an old man if he's misinformed about what's big in music these days, won't you?) and I'm not "hip" to what's in style, but I'm young at heart; I think.
