There could be a million reasons, but here’s one I’m familiar with - ‘task inertia’, resulting from ADHD, perfectionism, fear of failure etc

I feel like you are both making the same point but it sounds argumentative for some reason

I have to ask - did you read that entire comment and not detect any hint of sarcasm?

Just finished Echoes of the Eye (Outer Wilds DLC) last week, now trying Hollow Knight again. I’ve tried before, I love the game, I just don’t play many side-scrolling metroidvanias and even with the map and the pins I get lost and overwhelmed.

This time I’m trying to just go with the flow a bit more, not get too hung up on mentally mapping out every twist and turn, and so far I’m making much better progress (I think). Gonna stick with it.

You dropped a v… Oh. You little shirt

Oof, they bought you chutes and ladders (snakes and ladders where I grew up, I guess chutes makes a lot more sense) and never even played it with you…? Damn. I’m sorry

Some people are overly conscientious of people around them, and ask questions like these even though they are already being completely reasonable. It’s a huge jump to assume they must be being an asshole, yelling into their mic etc. Try asking next time: “are you concerned about it because you tend to get excited and loud while chatting? Or is it more just a normal phone-call conversation volume?”

…talking, in your own room, is being an asshole?

She hardly even took it back, just expressed regret that the word became ‘politicised’ since she said it…?? No, it was disgustingly incorrect when you said it

“some rude things”

Saw that video and never found any info on if he recovered. My first reaction was holy shit that’s going to hurt and be messy, but some comments were saying about the heat of the iron (it’s not supposed to still be glowing bright red, it was WAY too hot), length of time, pressure, and proximity to vital organs means that he likely wouldn’t survive it…

God I hope you meant to type ‘threat’
