ActiBlizzard is a lootbox.

Can’t say I know either. It’s definitely tongue-in-cheek and I don’t believe ActiBlizzard has managed to make their game fun on purpose for a second. That said, patching out the fun would imply they know what they’re doing when I’m unconvinced they’re good enough at game to purposely make a game tedious.

Must have been an accident. Next patch will get right on fixing that
- Comment on Should naming your children stupid names be illegal? 1 week ago:
Bet he learned to pronounce that with a hard H very quickly.
- Comment on Should naming your children stupid names be illegal? 1 week ago:
Despite having heard the name Siobhan (pronounced Sheh-vaugn), I never saw it written until many years later and in an unrelated circumstance so I assumed it was pronounced “Sigh-Oh-Ban”. Irish names are insanely confusing for anyone who isn’t Irish and I’ll eternally argue there’s no shame in getting one wrong.
- Comment on Who can I ask or where can I find help in moving to a new country? 2 weeks ago:
Things have changed a lot since those days. The recruiter part is still decently accurate but the hoops to jump through are far more plentiful and costly these days, if they’re even open in the first place.

Ironically, that would be treason.
- Comment on What vacuum should I buy for 66% carpets in 140sqft condo? Sub $500 3 weeks ago:
Shark is an American brand
I don’t get this. Are we boycotting American products now?
- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 4 weeks ago:
Let’s put it this way, the market price for the Switch 2 is roughly the same converted price in the UK. Now, to my knowledge, the UK hasn’t also introduced these tariffs quietly so I can’t, in good conscience, blame ol’ Delusional Donald for this one.
- Comment on Why Do Sites Keep Shoving Features We Don’t Want Down Our Throats? 4 weeks ago:
Because they’re delusional enough to think if they cater to the audiences of other sites they’ll tempt that audience to scrape off to their site instead of the site that came up with the thing and do it better.
- Comment on How to get rid of Whatsapp? 4 weeks ago:
Install something like GBWhatsapp. Whatsapp seems to do ban waves every now and again so there’s no guarantee on the time frame you’ll get banned (it took about 4 years for them to catch up with me) but it’ll more than likely happen eventually.
- Comment on Should a movie released in 1995 be considered an "old" movie? 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think this is what Einstein had in mind when he spoke of relativity.

Yup. Armchair experts are just the best.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
People with far too much time on their hands, a desire to label everything and a tendency toward negativity. My personal gripe lately is weaponised psychoanalysis terms.

What’s your next fishing attempt going to be? Calling me chicken?
- Comment on Is this working? 5 weeks ago:
Why would I do such a thing when you’ve done a thorough job of proving you’re the sort of person none of us want in there?
- Comment on Is this working? 5 weeks ago:
Not true, they’re just usually private servers specifically to keep the annoying children out.

- Comment on HP are interested in making a SteamOS handheld as the Windows experience sucks 5 weeks ago:
It’s a bold assumption that parts would even be available to buy.
- Comment on Has modern technology made espionage easier or more difficult? 1 month ago:
I know it’s made it harder for me to get into my own accounts.

Precisely
- Comment on I have tried to look it up but has Trump done anything to combat Internet Piracy? Asking for a friend. Like going as far as Obama did? 1 month ago:
You think he’d make it double illegal?
- Comment on Why are Maries Sues hated while Gary Stus are loved? 1 month ago:
It’s not that they aren’t an example, but a bad example. Even as a fan of isekai and someone who doesn’t mind the trope, I know how much hate Gary Stus get. Mention Kirito to anyone other than an unapologetic SAO lover and watch them convulse.
- Comment on Are old people usually attracted to other old people? 1 month ago:
I’m sure that holds up well in court
- Comment on Meaning of the phrase “Hang dead.”? 1 month ago:
Given the context, I highly doubt this is the intent. Would love it if it were though.
- Comment on What was the 'bear vs man' controversy? 1 month ago:
Sadly, the reverse has come to be true for a lot of men.
- Comment on How come in most school in the USA (at least mine) they teach Spain Spanish instead of Mexico Spanish? Would not Mexico Spanish be an obvious choice to teach? 1 month ago:
France French people say wayh too. It’s the same difference between saying “yes” and “yeah”.

A staple of modern journalism.
- Comment on How do you think smartphone manufacturers will comply with EU's replaceable battery regulation? 1 month ago:
Routine updates. Until recently hardware was getting better at such a rate they’d upgrade before software became an issue. The power increase curve has mostly plateau’d over the past several years so the incentive to upgrade is significantly lower so people are keeping their older hardware for longer and suddenly seeing the problems. That and the average user is now getting more aware of security updates.
- Comment on How do you think smartphone manufacturers will comply with EU's replaceable battery regulation? 1 month ago:
Both of which have proven to be lies by the likes of the Sony Xperia phones which still do nearly everything right. I say nearly because they’re plagued with bad fingerprint sensors which is the only reason I had to stop using my 1 III.
