Off Topic Discussion Megathread

Man i hate cockroach, i know how you feel. Just knowing that they are in there droves me crazy and irrational.

One day i saw one in my living room, then another the next day and i knew i was doomed.
I used to put baking soda with sugar in bowls that i would put alongside walls near places i saw them. They were attracted by the sugar and would just die in there.
But after a 1 or 2 days there were only a few or small ones that would fell for it. And i could still see a big one from time to time.

At that point i honestly just had called the exterminator because i couldn't stop thinking about these nuisances.
I probably didn't have that much of them because after 10 days or so i didn't saw any living ones anymore. Still got 1 month of treatment though.

I hate all pests. Any creepy crawlies, any of the small reptiles like lizards, any critters that birth in dirt like mice or rats. The house next to ours is fully abandoned, and that place is a complete breeding ground for all such things. Nearly every month there's a house lizard spotting, we've had roaches before, and some years ago rats also made an appearance here and there at the lowest floor. Funny because my mom keeps our home super clean. We both have a borderline irrational fear of these creatures.

No way the scary phyrexian phase will last for Ajani. They hinted it was possible to revert it. They also know he's really popular with kids. He's even the mascot for their Extra Life charity events, killing him off like that would be real dark.
Also Jaya died the same set and they made it a big deal, if he was truly gone forever I'd expect them to milk it much harder.

Just me or the forums are getting more and more unreadable by the day? Everyone is just so darn angry. Snark, sarcasm and personal insults everywhere.

I just try to pay them no mind. Now if they get into one of their heated arguments I just stay out of it cause my opinion may as well be thrown up against a wall for all it does.

I've been trying my best to stay out of Gen Discussion because I've been personally attacked twice already but I unfortunately am morbidly curious sometimes. It's a bad habit to have in this day and age.

People get mad over the most insignificant and vacuous of things.

Somehow...somewhere...after I had spent 6 years in college and 3 years looking for work, I come back to a time where snark remarks and sarcasm are a form of humor instead of a type of insult. -waves old cane- back in my day! It used to be the other way around!

I wonder if anyone knows what an actual joke is anymore? I sure as hell don't anymore since a lot of what people find funny are constantly synonymous with insults.

I think it is just this forum in general.

There is a small contingent of people on this forum that are unreasonably angry at absolutely everything. They post 24/7 too, which makes this website seem incredibly toxic.

I wouldn't worry about it. I stepped away for a couple of days as there was a couple of people following me from thread to thread just to attack me. Apparently, any negative comments about the game are 'trolling' in their eyes, and they will hammer you down with non-sensical arguments and abuse.

I actually suggest that you stick around and ignore them.

Seriously buddy anything FireMage says you just need to throw right out the door and not take him seriously. You raised some good points and he is just moron.

Was it that different before ? I joined the forum in July this year, but the high level of "unpleasantness" seems constant to me.

I imagine it was might have been different before Endwalker thought.

I joined a little before Shadowbringers ended, and lurked for a month or so before making my first post. IDK. Maybe you're right, maybe it's always been there. It just came off like it's more prevalent and accepted now? Dunno. I guess it's a result of there being more people as a whole posting.
