His name is actually John Francis Bongiovi and at the time that's what he went by. It was 3 years later he formed Bon Jovi.
Only because I hate the "that guys name was ..." format.
Also fun fact, Bon Jovi is named such because John Bongiovi wanted people to pronounce his surname correctly, the exact same thing Chef "Boy-ar-Dee" Boiardi did decades prior.
You never had such a conversation, no doctor ever said anything like that to you, and I'm fairly certain that all happened in your head during a shower.
Why do people make up such unbelievably bad stories to tell on social media? Like if you're 16 or 17 I get it but you're not are you? You're an adult. Making up stories for brownie points from strangers.
How many times have you had that conversation?
Methinks zero.
When someone says a thing and you deliberately interpret anger where there was none (especially after they've said it, "I'm not angry") and insist they "calm down" rather than addressing any valid criticism or complaint they actually bring up, that's quite gaslighty. It's intentionally presenting a false reality and insisting I adhere to it "or he's just wild, he won't calm down".
Or "he's just a troll not worthy of consideration" as you put it. Which is definitively dehumanizing as well, but you don't see me whining about it. It is ironic though. Me calling childish arguments childish, whoa! You calling someone a troll, that's perfectly reasonable. You calm down.
It's not strictly the same as gaslighting but that's why I said "gaslighty". But go off about the hypothetical strangers I belittled, please, whatever gets you going down there.
It's pretty fucking immature (and gaslighty) to respond to valid criticism with "chill out bro".
Go ahead and ban me, you don't need to make passive-aggressive threats. You can just power-trip away. Don't forget to leave a comment that reads "user was banned" so everyone knows how calm and collected you are with your ban hammer.
And I'll say it again. *Deep breath, peaceful mind, thoughtful spirit*: That user is an entitled child who made a stupid argument.
I'm calm as shit man. Relaxing on a Sunday. It's just that I'm not wrong. He is self-entitled. He wants game developers to spend their money publishing DVDs for the one-off collectors -- nevermind the environment, nevermind that they're going to be downloading day 1 updates the size of the game anyway, nevermind all of the ridiculous arguments about "oh poor me, they won't let me easily copy and distribute their product to my friends". Nope -- "I'm a collector, and game developers are awful people for not giving me my CD and this should be illegal and society should make laws to satisfy my collector quirk."
Are you fucking for real. Go back and read this fuckin' thread, dude, that's what people are fucking saying. "Make laws against this".
That's self-entitlement defined. It's not a charge, it's an observation made by an adult living in a society of law regarding another publicly made comment. I offered scrutiny from the apparently rare perspective of being a grown up.
And this is very much a childish argument. Like whining your dinner at the restaurant didn't come in a colorful box with a toy inside, or that the book you have to read has no pictures in it. They're not even complaining about the product, they're complaining about the package it's delivered in. Literally the same as saying "that meal is gonna suck because it didn't come in a McDonalds box". Six year olds think like that.
Gamers are the most entitled group of brats on the planet and this is just one tiny example it. Literally demanding useless plastic trash, not even a toy or anything you look at - no, just a useless blu-ray disc that the hardware all but ignores anyway.
And again - I'm calm as shit. Don't make the mistake of thinking a few paragraphs means I'm angry. That's just being lazy, you can read. Hell, you can even read criticism. And if you can't, get the hell off social media.
There are no solutions to climate change that are contingent on a particular party being in power in a single nation when the problem isn't confined to a single nation. Making the environment about Democrats over Republicans is wildly dangerous because it breeds contentment: people think they did their part in electing the "right" person and stop giving a damn. Politics isn't going to offer a solution to climate change, but they'll certainly tell you they've got em.
Tell me you're okay with being lied to in order to be made afraid, tell me you're okay with science being misrepresented for political brownie points, and I'll tell you you're no better than a grubby politician yourself, because that's all that standpoint serves. Political brownie points. It's "ends justify the means" logic. "Its fine to fear monger and lie and misrepresent facts as long as you're doing so on support of the right ideology" is wildly stupid and dangerous reasoning.
You have a problem with packaging. The product is the software. Software. Soft. Media is irrelevant. You may as well be insisting games be provided on floppy disks for your own contentedness.
It isn't false advertising. You're just self-entitled and want companies to cater to you specifically and not the masses. Gamers are really the most entitled group of folks on the planet. You may as well demand Netflix provide VHS copies of every new show they make. Same stupid argument. If you don't like your arguments being called stupid, don't publicize your stupid arguments.
This doesn't at all line up with the rumored initial plans of it being a Sony exclusive ...
Because brick and mortar retail isn't entirely dead. Impulse buys, Christmas gifts, etc etc etc etc. All the reasons to have a product for sale in a store. The product was never the CD or DVD or floppy disks, and gamers who make a fuss about it are just crotchety for the sake of it. There's no reason to print physical media. I haven't even owned an optical drive in my pc for well over a decade. Still bought some "physical copies" of games that were just codes. I'm not upset.
You're old grandpa, go back inside and stop yelling at The Cloud.
Counter point: Fallout 4 has you searching for your kidnapped son. I'm a father, in actuality. So to me that's an imperative too, but it didn't stop me from building skyscrapers in the interim. There was no real death clock, so I really don't get your criticism there.
Shit, final fantasy 7 is one of the greatest games of all time and that asteroid will sit there in the sky as long as you let it. You're reaching hard. The more I think on it, nearly every open world game has some imperative story point and they'll happily wait for you to get there. You get tuberculosis in RDR2 and you will live forever as long as you avoid the last mission. This isn't uncommon at all.
