GU 107 - More rehashed trash.

I had to look up <that word>

I guess you can either find it funny that I didn't know the word or you can find it sad that you do.

 

I didnt know what that word meant either.

Of course, my assistant had to execute an elaborate ruse so she could replace my flip phone with a smart phone.

Note: She openly declares to pretty much everyone that i need strong parenting.

 

I know the term because I follow comic and game news online, though the majority of the 'social media' terminology is an alien language. I don't snap-chat, twatter, facebook, Instagram - most of those I don't even have an account for. Discord I have solely to keep in touch with friends. My phone is smart-ish, and is for making phone calls if I need to, not documenting every second of my life.

It was a term used in irritation. Next time I'll use a series of descriptors to indicate she's bad at her job and random to the point of being comical.

And I honestly do appreciate Shmogre's reminder - If you use elegant rather than base language, even if it means the same thing, it tends to get less of a reaction.

Also that I should be better than that. I'm not, but I should try.


(RadarX could be a jerk, but he was a consistent jerk that would tell you - sometimes in great detail - what you did wrong, so you knew what you were getting warned/suspended *for*. Who knew we would look back at that as 'better days'?)

 

Can't really argue (though I can hope). But I try to live to my own standards, not others...I want to be able to look at my handsome ogre face reflected in my shield and be okay with what I see.

 

Agreed, and also part of my own credo. I feel the stealth deletions and edits are counter to good community (and corporate) management...if you edit something, you should leave a marker and a reason in its place ("Edited due to personal attacks", "Post removed - Violates community standards: Non-constructive", and so on).

There is room to improve, if they give the community manager(s?) and mods the power to do so.

 

I think we all started out trying to be civil, reasonable, and respectful with our feedback. I know for a long time I tried to take the high road, but after realizing that I wasn't valued as a paying customer over a period of years, I felt that I had emotionally reached the end of my rope.

I appreciate being able to express myself here without fear of being censored or banned and knowing that I am with like minded people with regard to our shared experiences and feelings. For me my concerns have always been from a business stand point if you will, rather than any personal grudge.

I finally realized that the most effective way to express my displeasure was to stop paying, playing, and for the most part stop posting on the official forums. However, it will always pain me to see the very visible disregard for the game and the players by DBG.

 

I try to keep in mind that she's young and inexperienced.

Still, she can learn a lot if she can find her own voice. I see glimpses of it, but then she seems to regress back into Kander/Caith mode.

This is not going to help her career, and I hope for her sake she learns to stand up for customers and push back against people who take them for granted.

 

And she very young.. I'm pretty sure she "behaves" like a marionette.. It's not really the girl fault...

Eq2 Discord channels is not manage by Roxxlyy (i think), but the result are very similar..

 

She is likely doing the job the company wants. Its a rough job, considering the job the company is doing to us customers...

 

I have about as much respect for her as I do a magpie spewing out sounds that resemble words. They're both just regurgitating what they've absorbed with no real clue what any of it means. She only holds slightly more blame because she's supposed to have more agency than a bird.

 

I had to look that term up. I feel old. Also, I feel like contributors to Urban Dictionary should be dropped off in the middle of the Gobi with a crappy map and broken compass.

Yeah, not feelin' great about humanity today.

 

I'm travelling at the moment, and missed the word completely. I can make a couple of guesses, but suspect they are New Zealand vernacular so unlikely to be the culprit.

 

It's probably used on the mean streets of your capital city ... Canberra!

 

Nah, we decided early in the 20th century that we didn't want to take over the Aussies as they were too much trouble

(For non-Antipodeans, Canberra is the capital of 'Straya, while Wellington is the capital of NZ)

 

If anyone wants to experience terror first hand, try flying into Wellington Airport.

Air NZ pilots........are freakin curazy

 

Now that's an interesting word! I actually work for an Australian, so I'll have to figure out a way to work it into conversation.

 

Kai Tak Hong Kong 1984, I thought my young life was over ! It was night and it went from beautiful scene to... surely were not going to land there! There are buildings everywhere on the approach, all lit up and boats in the harbor lit like christmas trees. The runway ended in the ocean. You could see peoples tv's in the buildings as you flew past!
I'm glad I have that memory but at the time I was scared. I believe it's closed down now.
