Out of Pod Experience

I really hope that the last day's gift is "BANHAMMER!!!" for everyone that griped about the gifts.

I don't care what the people who didn't complain get, because I maintain that I don't expect anything. If I get an awesome gift... cool. It'll go in my collection of one-time-only gifts in Oursulaert. If I get a mundane gift... just as well. It'll prolly get bolted to one of my ships, and eventually be available to be scooped from my wreck by the man or woman who kills me.

I'm pretty sure that was actually a thing. I have never seen one, and I don't remember what it was called.

Also, there were Hellhound Drones... gods, those things were uber.

This is why with gifts, even for kids, you should only buy what you would like. That way if they reply with "Don't like it", which tbf kids do a lot just to see what you'll do - you can snatch it back and yell, "Fine! I was hoping you'd say that!" You do have to talk to children on their own level sometimes. Release your inner child!

Lots of phrases I keep seeing floating on GD at the moment like juvenile, childish, entitled, whiny. Uhuh, yeah people can be like that, what a shocker. It's not even just here; they are like this everywhere. What I find slightly immature is the inability to rise above it and ignore those sentiments, it's almost like a whole group of digital parents are flailing about in GD. Probably at people a similar age.

Really, when children start behaving like this, does bellowing "GOOD GOOD YOU ARE BEING SO CHILDISH, GROW UP!" actually work? I thought "good parenting" and/or maturity was rising above it, ignoring them, maybe demonstrating by setting an example. Continually slapping other people down and playing the old "do you know how old I am" seems. Well, odd.

Stretch your mind back to when you were 15 say. Parents try this tactic. Disdaining all forms of logic, because pffft god how boring, you reply: "Well FINE! I hate you too!! Whateveeeeer." *slam door* etc and flounce about. Really this is so much more fun than "Oh, yeah I see your point. You are completely right. I feel bad now. I'll try to be a better, more logical person in future. I feel more mature already just by saying that."

You came to a forum on an internet spaceship game and seem to expect a sensible debate from everyone. What's wrong with a bit of variety?? The ragiest posters are absolutely hilarious. Honestly, all this maturity stuff. It's like being at an orgy with your parents standing and pointing going "Ohhh, that's disgusting. They're doing it all wrong, hang on I'll go correct that." Cringe.

I haven't received any gifts yet. Because I've not bothered to go to a station to claim them.

Yes, I do get that you are aged. Basically the same age as me. And are now almost pontificating on an internet forum about the immaturity of people whining about gifts from CCP Troll Devs on a spaceship game. I mean, they quite literally dressed up and rubbed mud on faces, how obvious do they have to make it. Bahaha. Never stop trying with the moral lessons tho, bless.

I do agree about appreciating gifts but. BUT. When they are bad, and some are, ahaha the response. I know 'people' who received irons, hoovers, pans, cutlery ~ basically domestic slavery equipment ~ from their 'better halves'. THE RAGE. They never forget, or forgive, or stop ranting about it. Troll gifts are always awesome, and you should be able to detect them ~at your age~. You can always rewrap them and pass em on to people you don't rly like and watch them splutter. What's not to like.

CCP are naughty. Very naughty. Super trolls of eve. I don't know why people feel the urge to defend them because tbh, when they do stuff and people rage - some of them are giggling. Maybe even firing up their alts to stir up more outrage. LOOK AT WHAT WE DID, BE OUTRAGED. Don't spoil their 'gifts' with your ~logic~ and ewww, being all nice and stuff.

Watch this anyway, pretty much sums up eve, teenagers, men (not many pass beyond this stage), women (stroppy is an accolade, not an insult, remember) life in general. You have all this to look forward to with your kids!

Harry Potter gave Nobby clothes !!!!

I'm enjoying just reading about the Yule Lads.

Wacky tradition....but still makes more sense then a fat guy going through chimneys to get into peoples houses.

Well that kind of tradition I have it on pretty good authority originated in the far snowy north where the houses are buried in snow and the chimney is the easiest way for the village shaman to get in. His reindeer just park on the roof which is ground level from the snow.

No flying needed.

So your kids pay $15 a month to live at your home?

TLDR, and you opinion and butt kissing is meaningless in this game...

Wot?
