The Letting Off Steam Thread - Page 27

Fuck the police.

Fuck Google for adding their toolbar at the top of every Google service. I am seriously going to stop using them.

Also fuck that guy who insulted by dead grandma after I killed four of his probes with my first zealot.

And fuck the "GROWTH GROWTH GROWTH GROWTH GROWTH" business mantra that is used to defend stupid decisions.

VIKINGS. SCREW VIKINGS. WHY DID BLIZZ DECIDE TO MAKE AN AERIAL UNIT WITH 9 FRIGGIN' RANGE AND MINI NUKES FOR MISSILES? HEY GUYS LETS MAKE A RETARDEDLY SLOW UNIT THAT DOES 800000 DAMAGE PER SHOT. LET'S DO THIS FOR ALL OUR UNITS? MAKE 20 OF THEM AND WATCH THEM UNLEASH A BRICK WALL OF MISSILES. I'M SURE THAT WILL MAKE ALL OF OUR CASUAL FANS HAPPY COZ OBVIOUSLY 80% OF THEM WILL STILL BE PLAYING SC2 AFTER FRIGGIN CATACLYSM COMES OUT.

OH, IN BW WE HAD A UNIT THAT COULD SHOOT AIR AND LAND AND COULD CLOAK? WELLLLLLLLLLL INEVERPLAYEDBW COZ I'M DUSTIN BROWDER AND I LIKE MARAUDERS AND STUFF AND I THINK BLINK STALKERS CAN KILL THEM WITH GOOD MICRO EVEN THOUGH ONE SIDE A MOVES AND THE OTHER HAS TO SPEND 80 APM EXTRA TO DO IT IT'S FINE AND BALANCED. YES ZERGLINGS KILL HIGH TEMPLAR DEAL WITH IT COZ WE PLAY IN A UNIVERSE IN WHICH HTS FIGHT ZLINGS ONE ON ONE.

NO WE DON'T LIKE LURKERS COZ BANELINGS FILL THIS ROLE EVEN THOUGH LURKERS SHOOT IN A LINE AND CAN DO SOME DAMAGE BEFORE DYING TO TERRANS THAT CAN USE 20 APM TO STUTTER STEP. YEAH LETS NOT ADD ANY UNITS THAT ARE GOOD IN WHICH THE GAME REQUIRES YOU TO GET DETECTION EVEN THOUGH GAINING MAP CONTROL AND CONTAIN YOUR OPPONENT AND BEING AGGRO ARE GOOD THINGS FOR THE ZERG. TOO MANY NOOBS DYING TO DTS AND ITS OBVIOUS THAT NOOBS MAKE UP THE MAJORITY OF THE STARCRAFT UNIVERSE.

HEY I KNOW LETS MAKE A THING CALLED A XELNAGA TOWER THAT ESSENTIALLY LETS PEOPLE CAMP THEIR UNITS AT ONE PLACE AND NOT MOVE THE ENTIRE FRIGGIN GAME. LET'S NOT INVOLVE BACKSTABS, FAKE THREAT OR MAP CONTROL AT ALL. YEAHYEAHYEAH LETS DO THAT. MOVING UNITS AROUND THE MAP IS OVERATED ANYWAYS.

WHILE WE'RE AT IT LETS ADD SKILLS IN THE GAME THAT ARE PASSIVE AND INVOLVE NO SKILL TO USE. LET'S NOT MAKE OUR PLAYERS HAVE TO MULTITASK AND INSTEAD HAVE THEIR VULTURES SPOUT BLUE FLAME AND OUR MARINES HAVE EXTRA HP AND OUR DRAGOONS ABSORB EXTRA DAMAGE.

YEP AND LETS CATER SOME MORE TO THE CASUAL PLAYERS BY MAKING THE MOTHERSHIP WHICH IS BASICALLY AN ARBITER BUT YOU CAN ONLY MAKE ONE OF THEM NOW. SURELY YOU CAN MAKE UNITS THAT ACTUALLY HAVE A PURPOSE AND CAN BE USED BY ACTUAL PROGAMERS? HEY BLIZZ BY THAT LOGIC IF 1 MOTHERSHIP = CASUAL PLAYERS THEN BW MUST BE THE MOST CASUAL GAME IN THE WORLD SINCE YOU CAN MAKE AS MANY ARBITERS AS YOU WANT

You know what really fucking PISSES ME OFF. To no end??? Fucking Blizzard ruining the credibility of the ONLY TRUE choice for real men: Terran. In the old days we were as hard as fuck to play, but the best because if you were a true rocker you would overcome the horrendous difficulty of playing Terran and take advantage of the epic siege tank and vulture and marine medic. Now they got rid of vultures WTF, got rid of foot medics WTF, got rid of all the good units. Replaced them with retarded shit.

And what's worse, they suddenly turned TERRAN into the 1a2a3a race. When everyone knows it should be Protoss.

Terran are clearly the best in theory, who the fuck doesn't want to be humans? We are fucking awesome, who cares about dumb aliens with no fucking mouths. Who the fuck cares about overgrown cock-a-roaches. Fuck their shit. Human or die. Fuck all you traitor humans playing any race BUT Terran. But sadly it now seems that if you want to play Terran for the proper reason (you are not a faggot from a different planet), you get retards crying IMBA IMBA when in the old days if you announced you played Terran pretty much the whole room just fell silent and bowed down to your superiority and korean girls lined up and the men who played zerg and protoss just basically ran out of the room in floods of tears. I'm talking the days when B+ Protoss players could barely achieve D+ in Terran. The days where, in order to play Terran, in order to be allowed to play Terran, you had to bench press your bodyweight AT LEAST 10 times, and you had to have competed in at least one no-holds barred test of combat against a big cat or bear. Fuck what Blizzard did to the master race of Starcraft

I absolutely despise this talk of imbalance, this constant annoying fucking talk where the one word everyone knows, in any language is "imba or ba?" fuck that. This game is what we have right now, stop bitching about every fucking thing, pvz is hard? piss off, get better. If you made 1 macro mistake, its your own fucking fault you lost, stop crying. Unless you are some perfect, non mistake absolute dominating person who never made a single error and still lost, then AND ONLY then can you fucking complain about imbalance.

If someone decided to use a composition that yours cant beat, FUCKING CHANGE making only roaches with upgrades and burrow ISNT an EVERYTHING composition, you cant just mass roaches, lose then say "noob using templar and blink" or "noob using anything" BECUASE YOU FUCKING ONLY MADE 1 FUCKING TYPE OF UNIT. Later in the game comes, ope here we go you made roaches, AND infestorsssssssssss omg you are fucking GOOD omfg, this shit pisses me off, I have an army, split into 4 control groups completely diverse and ready to be microed to its strongsuits and he goes, well... i'll 1a2a3a4a burrow 1a2a3a4a and if i lose, its his fault for choosing NO ITS URS BECAUSE YOU MADE 1 FUCKING UNIT and you dont KNOW HOW TO FUCKING PLAY THE AGME period. Idra? Idra is a fucking whiny bitch, he cries and blames everything but himself. Never could he be doing something wrong, its always imba, bullshit. Man up, and fucking play if your going to call it your sport. Look at what saviour did in BW when Z was getting stomped, he manned up and now Z started topping everyone. Fucking crybaby bitches all following him too, buncha fucking whiny cunts. Pisses me off

Yeah and these fucking american TL admins who see any "anti" american thoughts by anyone from northern europe to asia or canada. Basically EVERYTIME there is a anti-american discussion on something america is fucking up, oh wait THE WHOLE FUCKING WORLD, then we have a TL admin comein and close it, but it isnt an admin from another country, it is a biased american admin, everytime. A fucking joke

Holy shit, I hate icecream that has bits of frozen fruit bricks in it, they are torture to fucking eat, just stick to the damn ice cream, leave that shit out.

Ugh, have you ever had the ice cream with BUBBLEGUM in them? Talk about fucking disgusting. One time the ice cream place here was short on deliveries, and for an entire month they just. Had. Bubblegum. Icecream. And it was also about 2 years old, if I remember. Who invents that shit? Who EATS that shit?

Fuck that, bubblegum icecream is delcious, omfg its good dont get mat about bubblegum ICECREAM!

Getting rejected is the shit. But 5 times in a row? Yeah, that is awesome. Really fucking awesome and encouraging. My "relationship" life has been just constant rejection even though I can't really see any reason for it. THEN SOME OF MY FRIENDS ARE LIKE HERP DERP IT IS SO EASY Y U NO TRY MORE JUST GOING INSANELY LUCKY AND NOT DOING ANYTHING TO DESERVE THEIR HAPPINESS. I know this sounds childish, and it kinda is, but I can't help the feeling. Guess I just gotta try more, and not go for the Idra gg timing. That is all.

don't let the past pull you down bro, gg gl hf

Reading a lot of forums I realized I'm just fuckin' sick of generalization and factionism (no idea if this is a word). And I almost feel bad myself for being offended by it sometimes. I'm not sure if I ever saw a forum where instances of this did not happen. Especially if it's a forum focusing on topics where "factions" are involved.

For example in gaming forums there are PC, Xbox, Playstation, Wii, whatever gamers and then you read stuff like "omg you sonies are fucking stupid", "xboxkiddies", "game xy is better on console xy, so you're a fuckin' idiot for getting the other one". Why can't we all just enjoy the games and be gamers without having to piss on the other? Some people seem to really enjoy this pissing mentality and I just can't understand why...

In MMOs you have PvP (player vs player, not protoss vs protoss) and PvE players. PvE players are always the carebears that are afraid of a challenge and PvPs are the dumb stupid brutes with foul language and pissing.. and they're probably only 14 years old.

Same with TL sometimes... "omg zergs stop crying... zergs are a bunch of crybabies", "all terrans a move and lololol to victory", blah blah blah. I remember doing a statistics thread about tournament results... and just because zerg had unfavourable results and I had a zerg avatar I get pissed on for crying... even though I didn't and I was trying to be objective. I just like statistics and raw numbers since they're not opinionated (as long as you don't just pick results that you like yourself).

This shit is everywhere and if people would just pull their heads out of their asses and be nicer and more considerate of other people we would have just a fuckin' awesome society.

But no... we have
- political differences
- racial differences
- religious differences
- class differences
- even differences in the things we own and like

Differences are good and it would be boring if everybody would like the same. Do we really need to proselytize people and force our beliefs onto them? There are even a lot of instances where people got/get killed over these differences... because humans are just fuckin' stupid and egoistical (yes, generalization)!

This also brings me to another point I hate... that I sometimes just feel small and unimportant, and whatever I do, it doesn't matter...so I can't change anything in the world. But would this actually make me a hypocrite to force people into living, what I consider, a better life for everyone?

Fucking law paper I have to write is killing me. Can't concentrate at all. I have University Soccer-league quarter-finals in 3 hours and suddenly this super cute girl talks to me all the time and we are meeting again on friday. BUT FIRST I HAVE TO FINISH THIS STUPID PAPER AND I MISSED CAPS LOCK DAY BECAUSE OF IT!

I hate whining about whining. Someone posts and annoying whine post about XY being overpowered and needing a nerf AND THEN PEOPLE REPLY TO IT TO SAY HOW STUPID THAT IDEA IS AND HOW WHINING IN GENERAL IS BAD TO ENCOURAGE THE ORIGINAL WHINER TO REPLY and then the whole thread gets derailed by 20+ posts of people exchanging their philosophical opinions about whining and the definition of balance. It always makes me sad when someone replies to a whiner in a manner that can cause a reply, why would you do that? t.t

i wonder who will notice that i don't have a rant

x2

I've been there slightly over six months, and to be perfectly frank I am already one of the baddest mother fuckers in that kitchen. It's been said repeatedly by managers and staff who rely on kitchen; they're most comfortable when I'm running it. Multiple managers are putting pressure on for me to be promoted, maybe even become a manager myself.

I've stayed late every day, for at least an hour, for the last couple months. I'm the fastest in the kitchen. I ran kitchen during 2 £1000 hours (which basically means incredibly, unrelentingly busy) and I did it WELL. I'm the only crew member who doesn't leave on evening shifts until all the jobs are done.

My reward? The biggest bullshit schedule every written. On one day they expect me to work 12-8 and then 11pm-7am. On another I am expected to be in 2 places at once, 3 miles apart. The next 3 days after at I have 3 overnight shifts, an hour longer than usual, with the shittest manager in existence who does fucking NOTHING. Why he hasn't been fired is a fucking mystery.

I know why this is. The higher up managers (salaried) only work morning shifts. It's against the rules of the company, but they are never there beyond 4pm (excluding the business manager, head honcho). And I'm always on close shifts; 4pm-1am, 5pm-3am etc. Half because I'm the best at it, half because I'm not one of the salaried managers' favourites who, shock horror, are always given morning and lunch shifts as well. So the salaried don't see my hard work. They hear occasionally from other managers, but they don't know how far I've come since I started.

Well the next time I am begged to stay long after my shift ends, next time I'm asked to come in on my day off, I'll be bringing this bullshit schedule up. And the fact that I'm owed £500 of holiday pay. Fucking useless bellends.

So tonight after playing WoW with my girlfriend for a couple hours she decides to go to bed, and I decide I want to play some good ol' SC2. So she goes to bed and I log on, I win my first game as a platinum Zerg against a Terran who went banshee marine tank. GOOD START RIGHT!??!!.

After this game I decide that I want to play Protoss for a couple of games (I switch alot between Z/P) and one game I got cannon rushed, LOSS, second game korean 4 gated, LOSE, Cannon rush, lose, and etc for 14 games straight. Now tell me why I'm playing PVP 14 games straight, and why every single time it's a silly cheesy build. I dont understand what happened to SC2. IT WAS A GOOD GAME, but now it fucking sucks. No scouting options for Z make it impossible to know whats going even though we are supposed to be the "counter" race, and protoss can do any build and fucking still win a game. Terran still gets to do anything they want with marines and still win a game.

On top of it all there is a shit done of drama going in the household cause my sister is having an affair and wants a divorce from her current husband, what the fuck happened to people and morals. Jesus fucking christ.

Another day, another rough night on the ladder. not mad, but sad. i dont know why this stupid game has to hurt when u lose. its like, i try my ass off for 30 mins, and turns out i suck at the game or something. Godamn, i will beat all you fucking scrubs, if its the last thing i do

What's the deal with these almost religious people who go on about talking how something will hurt e-sports', as as if e-sports is some kind of a sacred fragile entity.

"E-sports needs to grow",
"We need to spread the word of e-sports"
"For the sake of e-sports"

No, fuck you. E-sports will remain small in comparison to other major sports, but what's the problem? We enjoy it, fine, but you don't have to force it upon others. If other people start to like e-sports, fine, but we can't force it to happen. You sound exactly like those ignorant religious faggots who try to spread something just because they like it. Most people just don't care about the idea of playing video games competitively, and will probably laugh about it. Problem? No, we have our own community where we enjoy taking part in. We don't have to fucking spread e-sports like a bunch of crusaders.

Sometimes I really hate people
