Bringing this back because the old one's now far back enough in pages that it's not really worth bumping.

Basically just use this thread to vent out any frustrations or whatever that you feel you just need to say, even if you don't think anyone really "cares" what you have to say.

First vent from me for the new thread:

The Sonic 3 & Knuckles playthrough on the Game grumps channel is probably one of the few I can barely stand. Jirard himself is awesome in this series and does a great job playing the game, but oh my gosh shut the fuck up Arin and Ross, this game does NOT suck.

Like seriously just holy fucking shit, every day I find more and more reasons for me to just disregard everything Arin has to say about “GAME DESIGN” because he’s really coming off like a pretentious asshole who thinks he knows everything about game design when yet he’s never developed a single game in his life. Stick to making jokes or animating, those are the things you’re actually good at. As for Ross… okay I like Ross, he’s one of my favorite people on Grumps, but geez I think he basically bought into Arin’s bullshit, because he even makes it sound like he hasn’t even played a classic Sonic game since he was a kid.

What’s worse is I feel like there’s also some stupid double standards going on here, I bet you most of the shit Arin’s complaining about can be found in a Mega Man game.

My school starts next friday after the summer break and I don't really know how to feel about it, it's good that I have something to do again but then again I'm gonna be really tired all the time from all of the work.

Well, at least now I have a reason to go outside again.

@Fortune yeah that kind of shit is what lead me to unsubbing from grumps months ago
I'm not one of those "It went to shit instantly after Jon left" people, but I will say that while Danny is one of those guy's who's moreso along for the ride, Jon did have more of his own opinions and as such I feel he might've kept Arin in check back then, and now nothing's preventing him from spouting his bullshit.

To be honest I love Danny, if Game Grumps was composed of Danny and Barry, or Danny and…another Danny, I would watch that shit all the time. But Arin is the biggest detriment to watching Game Grumps. I just can't stand him anymore.

Danny and Arin both kinda suck at video games, but the difference is that Danny owns up to it and says he sucks, while Arin blames the game. At least that's how it was when I was still watching a long time ago, I don't know if Danny has changed. I hope not.

Pretty much, Danny is a pretty fun guy, and even one of my friends who hated grumps (along with Danny) the second Jon left, has now come to really enjoy Danny in his solo content,

My college is run by fucking robber barons. The amount of money they want you to spend on textbooks is outrageous. And you have to get them because they have the access codes you need to do the homework online.

Arin is the reason I stopped watching the grumps.

That said I could probably pick the show up again just for my love of Danny and Barry. I never was a fan of Arins wife forcing herself into the channel as well.

I didn't mean for this to be mostly Game Grumps related vents but hey I ain't complaining. Arin's one of those guys of guys who I feel is starting to live up to the "Ego" part of his Egoraptor username, as in he's really giving off this "my opinion's right and if you don't agree with me then you're wrong" attitude. He was doing this as early as Jontron era as well, calling Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 "just as bad as Sonic 06" and saying classic Devil May Cry is overrated because he thinks Dante's a "stupid wannabe cool guy." I also can't help but feel him constantly hating on games like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and Ocarina of Time is really just Arin wanting to be some kind of hipster contrarian who hates certain popular games because it'll make him more well liked among certain hipster circles.

And probably the most annoying thing about Arin is this: this dude constantly bitches about games like Ocarina of Time and the like having quite a bit of story… but yet one of his favorite game franchises is fucking Metal Gear Solid, a franchise famous for having tons of story, cutscenes, dialogue, and shit MGS4 is sometimes criticized for feeling more like a movie than a game. I'm sorry Arin but if you're someone who loves MGS then you frankly have no right to complain about any video game having a lot of story. Also I swear sometimes he plays badly on purpose just to make a game look bad. I think he even ADMITTED to never using his shield and always keeping the hover boots on during OoT because he wanted to be a dick to fans of the game.

I really want to get into a full-blown fight again. I haven't gotten into a real fight since high school which was years ago. and punching bullies who pick on you is like my core memory it feels great.
I want some douchebag to mess with me when I'm having a bad day so I can just punch his stupid face. I honestly don't care if I get my ass handed to me that's happened before I just want to go apeshit. Boxing feels good when you get to land good hits but you're not allowed to fucking pummel the guy to the ground, and they're not really assholes enough that I'd want to.
And now that I'm in a good college there isn't really a lot of douchebags and I'd be expelled asap if I do pick a fight. I want to fight.

Fuck you person1 who doesn't do anything for their friends when they're all feeling done but when you're down everyone comes to help you. It's also annoying as hell how you absolutely refuse to acknowledge anything bad has ever happened to anyone else other than you and just tell people to ignore it and not help them at all when they've done so much for you. Also it's not funny at all when you voice chat and make stupid noises as you smoke weed.

Fuck you person2, your tough act is fooling no one and everyone knows you're actually a bitch who has had meltdowns and can't talk to anyone because you've pushed everyone away with how toxic you are. Try not to choke on your tears at night or in the DMs of the only friend you have who for some reason still tolerates you (probably not for long).

Fuck you person3, I don't need to hear how special you are because you're asexual and you don't look at porn. Want a fucking medal? Also shaming other sexualities and putting people down because they like porn is an asshole thing to do (oops I said asshole that's a naughty part on the human body I hope you don't get scared). Every. Single. Fucking. Day. You have to announce to everyone you're asexual or say "ew gross" when even the littliest of things is brought up. Hope one day you hit the fucking International Space Station with how high of a horse you're riding and realize being asexual doesn't make you the king of the world.

Fuck you person4, you're such a cocksucker and butt buddy for your friend you deny anything and everything negative they've done even with concrete evidence you're small brain for some reason cannot comprehend your friend is actually an asshole. You're such a fucking hypocrite when it comes to other assholes you call out when your friend has done the exact same thing but you just shove everything under the rug and plug your ears screaming lalalalalala. Maybe one day you'll realize you're just being used as a tool by your friend just like he used everyone else he was "friends" with.

Fuck you person6, why don't you actually stand up by what you believe in and argue your beliefs instead of just dropping some political statement and then passing it off as a joke or "lol why do you care so much bro." Your abusing of powers is stupid and you only make the server we're in a toxic environment instead of making it more fun. Also no one wants to see anime girls being put through a woodchipper or being tazed, that's disgusting as shit and how you think we're all stupid for not appreciating makes me regret defending you when someone thought you were a psychopath.

Fuck you person7, did you know you can admit to be wrong on something? How you play devil's advocate for everything is so retarded and how you think you're above everyone for restating what people just said only makes you look like a dipshit and not an Einstein (who you are nowhere near as smart as despite how much you say you are). You can say "Oh I just misunderstood" instead of stumbling your words and trying to find a way to get the last laugh when you're obviously wrong, especially as something as simple as 1+1=2. You're such a sheltered little brat you take everything you have for granted, you have no idea what it's like to have horrible abusive parents when you basically have your own floor in a mansion that if you took a single step outside of without your parents holding your hand you'd probably have an emotional breakdown. Also by the way just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's horrible, and you should probably play/watch/learn about something before just hating it blindly because it's even remotely popular.

Fuck you person8, can you actually talk about something other than how horrible tumblr, 3rd wave feminism, or certain figures in said movement are? Thanks. You're almost as bad as person6 except you explain everything poorly and make up stories sometimes. There are also other jokes other than "triggered" and "#somethinglivesmatter" which are getting so stale everytime you say a repeated shitty joke I can't enjoy the 4-panel-triggered images anymore which are infinitely better in everyway than what you say. Although you probably have a shit version of midas' touch and will ruin that somehow.

Fuck you person9, dropping random racist, sexist, homophobic, (insert any religion here)-phobic terms and yelling them isn't funny. And me not liking them doesn't make me some censoring jackass when I actually have standards for my racist, sexist, homophobic, and religion-phobic jokes. Also you're a retarded hypocrite for not liking it when people called you slurs as a joke.

Fuck you person10, you are the reason why people like person8 exist. There might actually be a God because I'm thanking someone that you moved far as hell away from me as you possible can. Just because I was born a man doesn't mean the world now has more possible rapes in the world, how you can even say that makes me even question if you are a real person (Oh wait, but you're not a person because you kept bitching that everyone calls you "it" which is a term used for non-human objects). For some reason you call yourself the most progressive person you've ever known yet you say I'm not a real homosexual because I don't like pride parades and I find nothing wrong with the word "faggot," how progressive it is to deny someone's sexuality because they have a different opinion of you. Next time I see you I'm returning the favor and punching you in the gut like you did to me and got away with it because you lied out your ass to the teachers who questioned you (Maybe if I punch hard enough some organs could fly in to your empty brain and make you function like a normal human).

Fuck you person11, I would say something about you but that would imply you are actually worth something.

Might come back here to complain about more persons, and no one I complained about here is on KYM.

Someone recently directly told me straight to my face to stop being lazy and get my shit together ASAP.

It really woke me up.

I should take his advice one day.

I don't get what is wrong with Westerners today. Why are they trying to shove these ridiculously progressive values into everyone's throats? Have they forgot that one must be valued by it's merit instead of identity? What is this, the Victorian ages all over again? Why would anyone pick a whole group of women to run a column that would only complain how "oppressed" they are and how good Ghostbusters are where your last team were the spearhead for civil discussions?
Yeah I'm talking to you, TIME.

I'm getting fucking sick and tired of all the pressure I'm dealing with this year of school. I'm going to take SPM this year, one cert to rule them all if you need to get a decent job, but I can't even get my lazy ass off my bed, start and go do some homework. I had 3 weeks of homework overdue as I started having this really bad habit of not doing homework at home, but doing them in school days instead. Once I step into my house, it's basically "fuck off skool i need to slepp xD" mode: as much as I remind myself I have to do homework (if slapping myself isn't enough), I never even touched it. Someone please help.

On the bright side, I'm glad some people started to give Infinite Warfare a chance that it "might be good" instead to shitting all over it 4 months before it's even released.

Fuck you person5, you're so insignificant I actually forgot to rant about you. You're the biggest fucking snake and liar I have ever met. How you still have friends after your true colors were exposed is either proof you are so manipulative that SCP should have an article on you or everyone around you is a retard. You're a massive hypocrite on how you get so offended when someone says your "triggers" but you spew the nastiest shit out of your poor excuse for a mouth about someone because they have a different opinion than you or call you out on being an asshole. Also how low of a life do you have to have to go harass people on Miitomo or use alternate accounts to continually harass people? I've had shits that are nicer than you, maybe it's because shits don't try to act fake as hell and ask about someone's past to then twist it as an embarrassing lie.

Fuck you person12, you promised me you'd stay safe. Don't fucking say you can't think clearly, I know you're a lot better than that and you make me worry so fucking much. I've always looked up to you and seeing you say "I'm not strong" when you are disappoints and angers me.

Fuck you person13, the world does not revolve around you and how you used and manipulated me and others makes you the absolute scum of the earth. You've abused everyone and everything yet you wonder why your parents suddenly turned against you that you always complain about. You're the most spoiled brat I've ever met and no amount of showers can wash away your filth.

Fuck you person14, I honestly hope the FBI raids your house one day with how much you talk about hating America and want to go shoot up innocent people, cops, the military, politics, etc. You actually have no idea how anything in America or the world works and I could make up any story that somehow shits on America and you'd believe it because you're that stupid. Maybe if you went back to the shithole your family immigrated from you'd realize how better off things are here and it isn't the worst place ever. Try not to shoot yourself when you're cleaning your guns, you might actually be doing the world a favor if you did that unlike anything you've ever done.

Again none of these are of people on KYM, neither will none of the future rants so I'll just stop adding this disclaimer.

I really hate when people take out their anger on people who don't deserve it. Like if you're pissed off at some coworker don't take out that anger by yelling at your kids for no reason.

Also if I politely ask you to please repeat yourself because I didn't catch what you said, don't suddenly go "GOD DAMN IT, I'M NOT REPEATING MYSELF!" because now you're acting like I was ignoring you on purpose or I suddenly said something rude to you when I did NOT at all, so why are you getting so fucking mad over me asking you to please repeat what you just said?

Also I cannot stand it at all when someone accuses me of shit I don't do. I once had someone accuse me of "trying to guilt trip them into giving [me] money" because I was legitimately mad at them over something else that this person did, and my response was "how the flying fuck did you come to that conclusion?!"

I'm really, really fucking sick of dumbass conservatives who willfully ignore reason and facts so they can push all their blame onto people who aren't straight, white Christian men. I kind of just want to smash one's head against a fucking brick wall.

Twitchspeak is the the worst goddamn trend on the internet right now. If you're not on Twitch, nobody fucking cares about your 4WutPogKappaXDDDDDDFace nonsense, and every time someone comes up to me trying to force that shit I die a little inside. It just screams "LOOK AT ME I WATCH ESPORTS ON TWITCH THAT MAKES ME PART OF THE SUPER SPECIAL EBIN COMPETITIVE STREAMER CLUB!!!", as if that somehow makes their opinions on games more valid or something because "only Twitch members will get this XD", or that they're somehow a better human being just because they watch streams or something. Newsflash, nobody fucking cares whether you watch "competitive streams" or not, or, god forbid, actually stream your own gameplay thinking that automatically makes you a fucking celebrity. What do you want, a medal just for talking like fucking newspeak? Congratulations, you managed to combine two of the most vitriolic things spawned from the depths of the internet; emojis, and the fucking joke that is the esports community. How about you write your own goddamn sentences to express yourself rather than constantly churn out nonsense text-emojis just to differentiate yourself from others?
…I could go on for fucking hours about this, but at that point I think I'd start repeating myself.

I wish I was more comfortable with stating my own opinions or with just saying anything and not regretting it like a day later

I really need to stop procrastinating and work on my youtube videos when I get home

I swear, sometimes I feel like a lot of people love to label themselves part of a group just to have an excuse to act like a complete retard or c*nt towards others with a different lifestyle/opinion/what have you. No matter if it's sports, a fandom, a political or religious ideology, evolution vs creation, meat eaters vs vegans… I mean, humanity was a clusterf*ck long before the internet was created, but the internet made it very clear in the past years that humanity's never going to solve any problems in the long run if they're already acting hostile to each other because someone liked a movie they hated. Because they whine over the stupidest sh*t in the most obnoxious way, that which social media made almost unbearable over time.
"Oh, you like or dislike something that I personally in my own entirely subjective opinion don't? Well, let me explain how you are sh*t, your entire family deserves to be raped, your parents need to die, your pet is gay and your entire existence is worthless, you scumbag!"
"Oh, you don't like to consider yourself feminist? Then you're a racist, sexist and hate-mongering man baby, and in case you're female, it must be internalized misogyny and you're part of the patriarchal problem, you slut!"
"Oh, you like to play Undertale? You must be one of those retarded fanboys/girls who love to ship anything with everything. Also, you're a Tumblr DeviantArt furfaggot who only likes overrated games. Play a real game, like Battlefield. Also, Nintendo is a kiddy factory!"
"Libtard!" "Conservative prick!" "Trump is literally Hitler, durr!"
"Muslims ruin everything!" "Muslims can do no wrong!"
/insert Facebook flag filter whenever something horrendous happens, then pat yourself on the back for being such a good and nice human being/
It's this kind of insanity that continues driving me nuts. This is why I deleted/deactivated all my social media accounts. There are so many people that spout absolute nonsense in the name of what they believe in, and the media even gives them a platform so the radicals and extremists among them can be either celebrated or crushed under their heels, depending on what's popular just then.
I'm saddened that we fail in the most basic things, like finding common ground and respecting and tolerating each other. If we don't share an opinion, especially on such mundane subjects like entertainment or likes/dislikes and preferences, we could also just look elsewhere and move on, there's enough room for everybody.
No, it's whine whine whine all the damn time! It's as if people don't have anything to do. Someone plays Pokémon Go which you despise? Go somewhere else! Is someone being an a**hole and a condescending prick who likes to boast about how he likes better movies or games than you? Ignore and move on!
Sometimes, I'm about done with the internet and its ignorant whiteknights and willful haters. I know it's a very generalizing thing to say, I still love my favorite pastime, always will. It's just getting to me a lot these past months.
You could say that I should probably follow my own advice, and that is entirely correct. But it's mostly the attention boost of people who just don't deserve any that is at fault. Prolonged exposure of negativity / mudslinging campaigns like with the presidential election, the Ghostbusters controversy which could very well be called GamerGate 2: Electric Boogaloo, the public shaming of opinions (especially on foreign affairs), tirades against the eebul manchildren, suppression of freedom of speech, "political correctness"…
Something related which makes me kind of feel like crap is that lately, I get more and more upset with my own gender. The things women are willing to break down just because they're spiteful and emotionally unstable, whatever women fought for then gets destroyed because OMG!!!! A sexy woman in an ad for champagne?? This must be the work of an enemy sta--- I mean, the patriarchy™!!! (true story btw, I'm from Luxembourg. This is what happened.)
Good God, I feel like the more these radfems talk about misogyny, the more I get sick of the female gender…

I fucking hate the whole "which gaming plataform is better" shit.
It's just a dick measuring contest: trivial, a waste of time and no one fucking cares. While I understand that people do this for shitposting but I'm talking about gamers that do take this seriously. This is the main reason I avoid Steam forums like the plague, that place is pure cancer.
And these people have the balls to whine that gamers still have the "basement dwelling man-children" outside the gaming community.

I couldn't get a fucking real job over the whole summer, and now I have to take out loans again for my next semester of college. All the places I went to for employment advertised the shit out of "needing summer help", but apparently what they meant was "need help for the summer (and the next five years if you actually want to get this job)." I live in the middle of Podunk, Nowhere, so the options available are slim. The only other job people kept telling me about was at a local restaurant I've worked at before, whose owner hates his employees, unless they're female and relatively attractive. The owner "temporarily" laid me off in January of 2014, saying he'd let me work again when they need help again. Over two years and three building expansions later, I still haven't heard back.

And with the return to college, I have to re-pack all my stuff, then get up before the sun rises so I can drive out and make the eight 'o' clock move-in time. I don't even know who my roommate is; the one I chose unceremoniously changed dorms/dropped out and they gave me a new one who doesn't even have an active social media profile (their last Facebook post was in March 2011). On top of that, when my chosen roommate left, they changed my room to throw me in with that other person, who lives on the fucking third floor; third floor is for the noisy crowd (not me) who routinely get in trouble for having alcohol and not being smart enough to hide it properly.

I wish people would actually act like I'm there in conversations instead of interrupting halfway through what I'm saying constantly.

I honestly have so much to say about others here, how it works here, and the general attitude of this site that it'd be a week to get all of it out. I've said it time and time again, and lots of them just don't care about how it is. I won't be saying it again, as to not fill up this thread.

sigh the first game I ever published through this Chinese distributor had over 85,000 freed downloads, and netted a decent ad-revenue. So I spent over two years and tons of heart ache creating a second game within the context of how ad-revenue works, and the same company's poor promotion of it only had 470 free downloads.

It sucks having put so much time and energy into a game to see it do worse than your original bullshit title.

I'm really getting tired of people within fandoms I'm a part of that have a stupidly high sense of entitlement. Whether it's shit like the bad side of the Steven Universe fandom basically harassing one of the show's writers for hinting that a certain specific ship might be canon, or Metroid fans who made and signed that stupid petition to try and cancel Federation Force or got all "butthurt" that Retro Studios decided to work on something that's not Metroid after they finished the Prime trilogy, I think people within some fandoms need to stop acting like they're more important than they think they are.

The fandom thing Fortune mentioned bothers me a lot, mainly the Metroid example. Even after reviews began coming out about how good both the spin-offs are and how they should be seen objectively without the cloud of hate and passion, the trailers still get downvote raided and spammed with "YOU BETRAYED US NINTENDO WAHHHHHHHH".

It's the most childish thing I've seen from any fandom I've been a part of. Period. The petition upon announcement was the worst of it though luckily.

I hate the fact that I want to make a GMOD/SFM poster, but I don't have any motivation and ideas to do so.

I dislike people who use shortened words slang in everyday speech, serious columns or articles. For example, why the hell people can't use the word "protein"? It's a perfectly good word the way it is. Why do these idiots need to bastardize it by shortening it? I refuse to go into details, you don't want to know how this word can be butchered. These people are smug, pretentious, self righteous assholes. Thousand curses upon you.

Fuck cyclists. You're still riding a goddamn vehicle so respect the fucking lights. Why do I have to wait for one of you asshats to pass by a RED FUCKING LIGHT before I can cross the street? Learn to brake jackasses.

For once, I love how we as humans never get along with each other. I like to watch the world burn.
But the world right now burnt to a crisp. I just wish we could get along once again.
Just once please?

My dad is either gaychecking me or forcing sexuality on me, if that makes any sense.

Whenever we go to a restaurant, and my dad notices a cute waiter, he points it out for me. I politely refuse to look, and he keeps trying to say "it's ok to look". Bitch, I'm trying to eat and you're over here trying to get me to gawk at someone's ass. If I wanted to mingle sexy with food, I would have become one of those "foodplay" folk.

Also, stop asking if I'm going to get a girlfriend in highschool. I really don't feel like I can trust any of the folk at my school save for my closest friends. Not because I'm cynical, but because half of the people at my school are either "ghetto-azz" hoes who will get pregnant at age 15 or just downright repulsive. I'll get my mate when I'm ready, and I don't need help in order to do so.

So there's this big politcal-ish drama going on involving this bitch called "Blaire White". She's trans and does like the typical Youtube rant shtick like amazing atheist where you just stare at a camera and talk about current issues. At first I liked her, but more and more I've grown to loathe her presence on the blogosphere or whatever.

She's really ignorant on a lot of things but people treat her like she's a genius scholar because she agrees with them. That's all it takes really. She's really ignorant about a lot of stuff though, namely trans things. She basically dismisses anyone at all who didn't experience exactly what she did it's almost like she lacks any ability to put herself in the shoes of others. Like she's openly said things like how some trans people just should never transition because "they'll kill themselves" which is something I see people spout time after time in youtube comments, which is what I'll lead into as my biggest problem with her: pandering.

She's said stuff like "why are some trans people so ugly why can't they all be hot like me they're probably just lazy". It makes her seem really really stupid to other trans people. Hell her entire fandom is just basically those annoying people you see in youtube comments they cloud around her. She's not overly right wing a person but she attracts basically /pol/ in its entirety. All she ever gets is "wow you're hot".

She is exactly what these kind of people have wanted for years and I'm sure she knows it. Like I mentioned earlier, it's the pandering. She knows she's pandering and who she's attracting and the potential for this opportunity, it's just no one managed to snatch it up until her. "A trans person who's hot and says they should all be hot or they might as well just ignore their disorder? Hell yeah I agree with that 100%!" All the shitty radio stations like alex jones can have her on as a guest star all they want. "Look anything you have to say about trans people is wrong because we have one too!"

At first, that's actually what I liked about her, she was different and I was fed up of left trans people for years now wondering why I could never find more centrist trans people advocating out there. Caitlyn Jenner doesn't count for anything really she's just there and got away with manslaughter nothing much. But I quickly realized Blaire is the other side of the same coin as the SJW hug-box trans people. Blaire and the shows that use her as an Uncle Tom claim she doesn't claim to represent the community, but it's very clear she does claim that. Like she's said about the bathroom issue that it's something "trans people don't really want". And that's not claiming to be a representation how?

And that brings me to the biggest problem of all with all this drama, idols and representation. For trans people it all started with Caitlyn Jenner being the trans person. Before her it was Laverne Cox and that one controversial tween, Jazz. It's an infinite cycle that will never really end and I'm realizing how petty it all is.

No one can represent a minority since people are individuals, nothing can represent. Before Blaire and Caitlyn people thought trans people were incapable of being anything but SJWs. Milo brings up the same problem in the LGB community by doing what Blaire does and saying "hey I'm okay with this thing so that means everyone else should too".

This whole debacle almost makes me want to start up a vlog rant channel so I can get my point of view out there, but it'd be more of the same wouldn't it? There's no real way out of this and I have no ideas, which is why this is just a vent, I needed to get this out even if no one reads it all the way.

I'm just really pissed off the way she can do serious damage with some of her rhetoric. The thing that bothers me the most as I said is the way she just casually insults everyone's appearance and blames them for it, which is one of my least favorite things about some alt-right circles (even if Blaire says she's not alt-right) which is that they despise political correctness gone rampant so much (which is reasonable) that they go out of their way to insult everything they can and pretend like human emotion isn't important at all because they numbed theirs (or so they think) a long time ago. News flash: not everyone on the fucking earth is as numb as you nor should they be. Sure people shouldn't be overly sensitive but numbness has its own problems. As someone who's pretty numb to insults, I should know. It's not as fun as it sounds.

Deliberately hiding any relevant identifying information about myself is the only way I will ever feel safe posting my opinions on this site, or anywhere on the internet really; yet, for whatever reason, I constantly find myself in arguments with every other person I meet. So when someone just assumes they know things about me just because of something I said, or attacks me as a person, I don't feel like I can even respond or defend myself without being remembered as "that guy that thinks ________". I don't want to be that controversial voice that chimes in to ruin everyone's fun, and I fucking hate it when people try to associate me with "the enemy" just because I pointed out something they missed. I just want to make sure everyone interested has all the relevant information before they make their verdict on something. But the way people handle words they don't like and retaliate at anything they don't agree with, makes me feel more and more like I'm being forced into this role I'm not even trying to be, because people want someone to blame for the things they don't like. But I feel like this goes beyond people assigning me an identity based on their perceptions of who I am, because all this has taught me is that people in general are bafflingly unwilling to accept reality when it doesn't fall into their perceptions of what "should" happen. I notice this in myself, too, and frankly, I hate myself for it. I want to be a more accepting person, but I just can't when all that means in today's world is agreeing with whatever anyone says to me unconditionally. Because if I don't, I'm "one of them". Nobody questions anything anymore, and whoever does gets punished by their peers for not falling into the societal code of passive acceptance that's quickly killed off any legitimate concern with the places our world is going. I'm sick of people trying to pick fights with me just because I throw out relevant information they don't like, even if I couldn't bring myself to express my own thoughts on it. It's like they're blaming me for causing something to happen, even though all I did was report it's existence.
Whether this is an issue with me feeling unsafe to defend myself around other people of the internet, or a problem with the way information is twisted and spun to match the wishes of those that see it, I can't help but consistently feel awful about posting anything that isn't a joke. Any time I write something serious for once, it feels like a million eyes are watching, looking for something I did wrong to hate me for. And if anyone here knew anything about me besides a name and a picture, I can only imagine it would be so much worse. Sometimes I wonder why I still stick around here, if all I feel comfortable doing anymore is cracking bad jokes and pointing out the obvious to avoid having 5+ people jump down my throat for something I said that was apparently "wrong". But here I am, even after deactivating once already and fully knowing that most people that recognize me, do so out of hatred for something I must have done to deserve it, but won't tell me. I suppose in the end it'll just result in another "Why are you taking internet reputations so seriously?", but it's not like anyone would listen to a legitimate response to that question, let alone not immediately attack my morals as soon as I explain them.

I'm sick of people who get a beta release of a game and then bitch about bugs.

You were explicitly told you were getting an incomplete game when you got the game, you entitled dipshit! If you want a finished product, wait for the full release!

Guys, why do relationships hurt people so much?

Another dumb little Game Grumps related one:

I'm getting tired of Arin's "hurr durr I'm Sonic and I'm all hip and cool" voice he always uses that sounds like him trying to imitate either Ryan Drummond or Roger Craig Smith. It's become overtly clear through Arin's constant bitching over Sonic games (including him even bitching about good ones like the Genesis games) and classic Devil May Cry that Arin seems to just simply hate characters who have "witty and charismatic" as a primary character trait. Like I can't help but feel he'd probably end up hating Bayonetta or Travis Touchdown for the same reasons most people like them.

I'm a bit late to this but I I'm beginning to agree with Sam's issues regarding Blaire White. After she actually appeared on Alex Jones' show I began to feel like she's starting to just turn into another Milo, and I'm starting to understand what some people mean by using "Uncle Tom" as a phrase to refer to a person of a minority group who would gladly throw their own minority group under the bus if it means they'll stay in favor with "non minorities" by pandering to them.

Fucking christ she was actually on Alex Jones? I think I mentioned him in my post but only because that's the first thing that comes to mind when you think of like the worst of the worst hyper-conservative radio shows I honestly didn't think she'd go that low. That's absolutely disgusting. She's a genius for finding and then milking this niche role, but a scummy genius at that.

I've already like unfollowed her on all social medias and now knowing this I have no regrets doing so I'm never watching a video of that bitch's again. And I'm sure she knows that there's a significant portion of her fans don't even respect her as a woman let alone a human being for some of them but she doesn't care. Like I said she's a tough one I'll give her that but she spews rhetoric that spits on everyone else for not being an emotional rock.

I'm working hard to learn programming and hopefully to make a video game one day, but it doesn't exactly bring my hopes up when I hear that people send death threats to developers and a lot of fanbases are full of whiners and complainers.

I think I'm going to need a fallback career in case shit goes bad in my end too…

Best suggestion armesi is to make your fallback plan your main plan, it's complicated sounding but it's not. Like going into college or whatever make your major something really generic and productive you know something that makes you big money if you have the degree and the connections. Something your family or whatever would applaud you for. Hopefully this is something you don't hate or even like even if it's not your main dream so you can do it for the rest of your life safely.

But, on the side, work on your dream. Maybe even minor in it if you're doing the college thing. Take some classes in it if your college has it. Majoring in the dream is completely worthless usually but gaining a little knowledge and experience in school while you're trying is not useless. Have a degree that matters on paper as your backup and be trying towards your true dream on the side. Remember to not get too upset though or put your hopes up too far obviously. But hell yeah you should definitely try.

Like for example I'm doing psychology in college (might change that who knows) but I'm going to pursue acting in some of my free time. I'm keeping my standards low and honestly being in like really lame roles would make me kind of happy I feel like bad things would be hilarious to be in so you can put your own imprint in it and maybe move up if you stuck out of something. Like the thing that inspired me to be an actress was actually seeing one of those intentionally bad shark movies on syfy lol. I actually dream to be in really cheesy bad stuff. It seems fun.

People who blast music loud out of their crappy, distorted speakers without care of nearby personal. Worse is when it's neighbors/room-mates.

Get a fucking headset or GTFO.

Struggling to accept the fact that my grandmother has Alzheimer and is living isolated from her family with the care of my uncle.

My grandma always lived in poor conditions, I used to visit her house weekly when I was a munchkin and it was always fun to see her, but we found out she had Alzheimer a year ago. I wasn't aware of this after 6 months they found out about it, and when I did, it almost felt like being hit by a truck on high speed.

My dad went to visit her two months ago to take administrative responsibility on her bank account and stuff like that (since she can't make decisions of her own), and he told us that she couldn't remember who he was for some moments, she sometimes confused him with her grandpa, hell she couldn't even remember who she was. It's like a robot turning on and off all the time, losing and gaining memory back. Basically, she lost the capability to rationalize, she can't make her own food, she can't be autonomous to go to the bathroom or go to sleep, she can't do anything, she stopped being a human being.

I can't bear the thought of someone living in a condition like this, and I was thinking about raising a funding plan to support research on the cure of Alzheimer in the future, in homage of my grandmother. For now, I'm trying not to fall under a state of depression for this misfortune, and it's kind of difficult when you keep thinking about it.

i cant take much more of this fucking shit, i fucking wish i could take the cowards way out, there's too much fucking going on and i have no idea who i can trust. i cant believe so many people around me who were under the guise of being my friends were the absolute scum of the earth. nothing's getting done and shit just keeps getting fucking worse. the fact that i share the same air with some of these totally awesome human beings makes my fucking skin crawl. i dont know what to fucking do now and there's jackshit being done to make anything fucking better and history repeats itself again because i trusted the wrong fucking people.

While I initially found him interesting with his retrospective of the Thief series, I can no longer stand The Rageholic/Razorfist and his generally angry attitude. Be it the fact he's constantly saying things like "fuck Kojima, that hack was never good and anyone who likes his stuff is just sucking his fucking cock" or how he seems to constantly shit on anyone that seems to enjoy things he doesn't, he's just such a generally unlikable person.

I absolutely hate when people judge me for my hobbies. Yeah, I still play videogames Yeah, I still read comics. Yeah, I STILL WATCH CARTOONS.
So what? I can't like certain things because they're childish or nerdy? I prefer spending by saturday nights playing GTA Online, Wasteland 2 or Skyrim than going to a night club where they gouge out your wallet, has shitty electro or house music, the bathrooms are full of piss; shit and vomit and there's nothing to drink outside of beer.
I hate beer! I just hate when I say what I do on my weekends and everyone just goes "You're 21 and still play video games? What a man child."

(moved this from "Unpopular Opinions" to here because this is honestly more of a vent anyway)

If you’re really talented enough to make fan games along the lines of AM2R or Pokemon Uranium, remove the copyrighted materials and turn it into an original product you could possibly sell without worry of takedowns. Toby Fox did start with an Earthbound ROM hack, yes, but guess what, he’s said the hack is now an embarrassment to him, but he is proud of his original work, Undertale.

Also lets face it, no one would have given a shit about the aforementioned fan games had they been of a quality equal to that of App Store rip-offs. The only reason anyone cared was because the quality turned out to be much better than expected, but had they been bad App Store rip-off games people would have gone “finally, less cancer plaguing the internet.” Like people keep saying “but-but Sega lets Sonic fan games slide!” Answer me this: how many of those fan games are ACTUALLY good? Out of all the people who did Sonic fan stuff one of the only people Sega ever hired was Christian Whitehead, because he’s one of the only ones who had talent. Most Sonic fan games are frankly shit and no one would care if Sega issued takedowns on them as it’d be seen as “less cancer from the Sonic fandom.”

Stop being so sensitive, America.
Please.

I've ranted a lot on this website, so I'm going to do more of a lament than a vent.

I found this cartoon pilot called "3 Dog Band", and I kind of enjoyed it, so I wanted to find out more about it. But I can't. The man who created it isn't online and hasn't said a word about it, and the studio that animated it closed down right after it was made. The short itself wasn't even that amazing (the characters and designs were cool, but the plot had no stakes or structure and I couldn't understand one of the voice actors).

Yet somehow the lack of information is driving me absolutely crazy. It came from the same group of shorts as "Regular Show", and it's got a little bit of a cult following, so it's a mystery as to why there's no info on its production or crew. It's a little like "A Day with SpongeBob SquarePants": it's more the mystery that's driving me insane than the actual thing itself.

A little weird, but I figure that it's better to say it at KYM than most other places.

I found out I failed my first quiz of the semester when I thought I did really good on that quiz. That totally just ruined my day.

I totally agree with your first statement. There are a ton of stellar musicians on YouTube… who make songs about My Little Pony and Five Nights at Freddy's. There are a ton of stellar writers on the Internet… who write stories about My Little Pony and Five Nights at Freddy's. You can apply this to any art form on the Internet.

I mean, more power to them doing what they want to. But I can't help but feel that they're wasting their talent on things that most people won't take them seriously for. And a great song with amazing instrumentation can easily be ruined with some random lyrics about ponies or robots that could easily be exchanged for broader lyrics that more than a single fandom can relate to.

I saw when this thread first got posted up but wasn't share if i should vent out or not. however right now i feel very angry, very tired, and very shaky.

I HATE my heart i don;t know what's wrong with it. For this entire year i have been going to my doctor and cardiologist after going to the ER for some chest pain. no one knows what is wrong with me other than that my resting heart rate is at 150. i;ve been through multiple test all having none or similar results and each one just stacks up on my medical bill.

because my heart rate is so high i have been feeling like shit this entire year. i can;t sleep and can;t even think right. i had to drop out of college for the spring and summer semesters, and i still feel like shit this fall semester. my head is always pounding and it feels like there is so much pressure in the right side of my head and body that i feel like i can;t walk normally anymore.

the worst of all of this is the shaking and twitching, i just want them to stop. every time it happens i always hope that it;s an earthquake and not me. i hate it when i shake since it feels like i am no longer having full control of my body. the doctors only response to this is just to take magnesium pill which i do, but don't even fuckin help.

i have been felling better since mid-july, but all the feeling still come up and i hate each second of it. i'm barley making it day by day, and i have only broken down crying 4 times through this whole ordeal. the only reasin i havn;t offed myself is because of my family and maybe a more better future.

i'm tired but i cant sleep
i hope it blows over by 2017
my heart is starting to hurt again
