I haven't been on WoT for a couple months, but from my observation the time of day heavily affects whether you'll be playing with jerks or not.  I only really play late at night, or early in the afternoon, and generally I don't see too many attitudes (other than the ubiquitous 'team' rage), the weekends are always full of those jerks too.

Unless you say "GG scrubs"

Yes, but that's actually derogatory. If the other guys are only saying "gg", it's more like shaking hands after a game of football. On its own it's basically meaningless.

To be fair, I know piss all about the WoT community, but I can't imagine why you'd want to go so far out of your way to assume malice.

Imagine if it was routine for a soccer player to start screaming bile at his own team while kicking his side's goalie in the head until he was dead. That is the sort of toxicity that the WoT has as a baseline.

... I thought that was standard practice?

I'm not going to say schoolchildren, but schoolchildren.

Also, in my experience the end-of-game GGs are usually sincere -- if the game was a stomp, it's probably someone who felt bad about it. MOBA and WoT players usually aren't subtle enough for anything more than "gg ez" when it comes to victory screen smack-talk.

I read a headline about a student getting in trouble for doing PHP. I spent entirely too long wondering how they got in trouble for using a programming language.

I shall second that.  What was it actually?

@GG

I just say it out of instinct when a round finishes on TF2. Not sure if the connotations and hidden meanings are the same though

@Dream

I chuckled at the last little bit. Besides that, yeah. Surprisingly coherent XD

This external hard drive has noticeable gyroscopic effects when spun up.

I just heard a set of lines in Postal 2 that I can't find mention of anywhere on the internet, somehow. They're lines that the Postal Guy says after kills and come consecutively, being:

• First kill: "One for mom,"
• Second kill: "One for Stephen Hawing,"
• Third kill: "And one for Jimmy the Flipper Baby."

It just seems really weird that I couldn't find mention of them, since in general anything even remotely popular has its entire contents done to death somewhere.

I'm fairly ok with the banter in MOBAs and other competitive games, it's part of the fun to me. Calling out allies mistakes is fine too up to a point, you don't have to take it personally. Eating in the microphone however is criminal.

Had several crazy dreams last night, and at one point I woke up to go to the bathroom and found my bedsheet had somehow gotten from the bed to the floor and was stretched out toward the door of my room. Like it got dragged off the bed toward the door. No idea how that happened. I'm fairly certain I don't sleepwalk.

Randimg.net is said to have malware according to chrome, not gonna take my chances. Changed to a static avatar for now until things hopefully clear up.

Still odd, though.

I didn't get that notification, but okay then.

Meh. Whatever. Might as well be more safe then sorry
