If I have misread this thread please let me know so I can offer a concrete apology rather than a conjectural one.

I've genuinely never seen criticism for not using hashtags, only for using inappropriate ones. Based on that I leapt to a conclusion. If not using hashtags is what you're talking about, you're entirely justified and I was out of line.

We may be talking at cross purposes here and if so I apologise. By all means don't use hashtags, that doesn't affect anyone else.

2025-12-29 22:46:38 UTC

- reply

I use the ability to subscribe to hashtags to see content that I'm interested in from people who aren't in my social circles. I regularly see spam in those hashtags: people who tag content that isn't remotely related or is in a different language but the only hashtags they use are in English. That last one is very common.

HOAs aren't a thing where I am. We rely on the idea that you can point out how something negatively affects other people and only a total cunt would ignore that and carry on with what they're doing.

That's a very well reasoned response and totally not reminiscent of a toddler tantrum.

2025-12-29 22:29:56 UTC

Hashtags and the ability to subscribe to them are one of those social contract things. Yes, you can piss in the communal pool, there's no law against it but don't expect people to sympathise with you when someone points out you're spoiling it for everyone else.

Dammit, need a second toot. Just then the manager comes over, and Patricia starts filling him in.
"Mr Jagger here would like to take out a loan for £100k, and all he has for security is this china ornament." The manager stops to consider this for a second, then says "It's a knick knack Patty Whack, give the frog a loan - his old man's a Rolling Stone."

I'm fighting a character limit here, so I won't make it as long as it really should be. One Tuesday afternoon a frog walks into a bank, sits down and says "I'd like to take out a £100k loan".
The teller says "That's quite a large amount, I'll need my manager to okay it. Do you have any security?"
The frog pulls out a small Dresden china shepherdess figurine and says "Will this do? Miss Whack - may I call you Patricia? I assure you I'm good for it, my dad's Mick Jagger."

Just as I was about to tell the "frog walks into a bank" joke too.

Good news! I'm offering you the once in a lifetime opportunity to feature your game in front of a massive audience of... about 3 viewers. Obviously you'd be a fool to pass up on such a solid gold marketing opportunity.

It gets a bit jarring when cutscene Lara is a sobbing mess, sandwiched between gameplay Lara casually depopulating the island.

I mean, it sounds like moving is the real issue. How long have you been over there? You might find the energy bill a bit eye watering no matter how much you downsize the lab.

Betteridge's Law applies. The entire concept of loving a corporation is demented. The most they should get is conditional approval, and they have to earn it product by product.

Weirdly unhelpful number too. If it was a power of 2 it might point you in the right direction, the fact that it's not suggests that it's a second order effect of whatever the actual limit is.

The USA used to market itself as standing for freedom and democracy, it was never the utopia it made itself out to be. Ask any of the countries where it toppled democracies and installed pro-trade dictators. Anyone who believed their marketing is breathtakingly naive.
