What's your pet peeve in RL?

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I always find it funny in games such as the Mass Effect series. You fight your way through a dungeon to get to the boss and defeat him. When he lays there at your mercy, after he has told you what he knows or given you what you want, you're given the choice to spare his life or slay him. Often, the decision to spare him is the "good" choice while killing him is the "bad" choice, no matter what a wretched person he may be.

More than that, however, you probably killed 30-40 henchmen just to get to him. But somehow just killing that one more is considered a blemish on your integrity.

It's also interesting that letting him live to do bad things again later isn't considered the "bad" option. Mercy is all well and good, but killing the villain so he doesn't try to commit genocide a second time seems prudent.

^ and this is why I detest Batman. Cool as he is (and Batman is fucking awesome) he's just as guilty if not MORE SO than all the assholes he goes after.

At least Frank Castle doesn't F around. Give him just 1 night and he'll have that city cleaned up like new.

Well, Battlevan will probably be doing the bulk of the work but still

I get really annoyed by people who ask me what's wrong or what has me upset, then when I tell them, they get mad at me for being angry. You fucking asked! I was totally fine with quietly seething but you had to know and now you're mad at me for telling you?

Bonus points if they're not even the target of my anger.

My PS4 is pissing me off a great deal lately.

I've lost at least 5 *amazing* stunts I've pulled off now in the Battlefield Hardline beta because of the damn system not recording shit when it's supposed to. Just last night I managed to gun down an entire enemy squad with just my side arm it was ridiculous O_O

And earlier in the evening, as I was running the loot to the rooftop drop-off point the damn cops crushed me with their helicopter. BUT! I had the self-revive gadget that somehow kicked in (not supposed to when you get run over lol...) got right back up - conveniently under the cover of said helicopter so the dumbasses didn't notice) picked up the loot again and took 1 step forward to score it. I then proceeded to shoot all their asses in the back with my suppressed P90.

But nope, damn PS4 didn't save it.

The PS4's video capture function is confusing and often seems to flat out not work.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Share Factory is a beautiful editing tool, though I wish they'd extend the maximum duration to at least 30 minutes - 20 sucks, and I have a lot of clips that are close to 15 min that I can't pull into my montage to edit and trim because I'm already up to around 9 min. I could probably just edit them separately in a new project and then add those to the montage, but then that creates a whole other problem of trying to keep all my clips organized so I know what I have and haven't used.

The whole thing could use some fine tuning, but it's a sweet tool. And yeah be nice of the video capture was more reliable...

So far though it seems like I have the most trouble with BF games lol. I had a couple of issues with Watch Dogs but not too many, and hardly any with Destiny.

Just now, in Journey to the West, two of the main characters dropped two innocent children out of the sky to their deaths outside a palace. The intent was to draw a demon from hiding within the palace. The description of this was rather flippant about how they were reduced to a mess of meat and shattered bone.

Suddenly, I don't want to read the story so much...

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

you sure it wasn't written by George RR Martin?

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Sudden new peeve: "George R. R. Martin kills scores of fictional characters who may or may not deserve it" is becoming a tired joke.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I am sick to fucking death of buying a game on one service and finding out it requires a completely separate service to play it. The whole point of Steam is to have a one stop shop for all my digital game distribution needs. If I wanted to set up accounts for a dozen proprietary store fronts and services I would have purchased my game there instead of on Steam.

Did you just purchase Watch Dogs?

Farcry 3 Blood Dragon, but yeah I got hit with Ubisoft's bullshit. Had I realized, I probably would have just skipped the game entirely.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

You know, I don't ask for a lot. I come to work and do my job every day, and I'm by no means one of those annoying people who can't run a computer to save her life and needs her hand held every day by the IT people (and I do have to wonder what those people are even doing here), so when I ask for a fucking new mouse because the one I have is on the brink of death, I don't think it's so much to ask that they fucking bring me one. I'll even hook it up myself.

Emailed the guy on Thursday, and just sent a follow up e-mail today, with his boss tagged on it. Don't fucking ignore people, it's rude. I get that you're busy but my complaint is just as valid as anyone else's, and I absolutely will not be able to do my job when this mouse does die. It will literally take less than two minutes.
