@philipdrobar thanks for this. if there is a happy ending here, its that despite avoiding this place the last couple of months to avoid the fallout, this was an excellent response and i see that i worried for nothing
raising a dispute and not ending in the classic 'ally mad they didnt get seen as ally' thats so common on twt/threads may actually bring me back here
appreciate it ♥
@philipdrobar i appreciate that you didn't intend this to be disrespectful but shrugging about getting treated poorly is not and will never be my response. it feels bad to have that hand-waved away as "smartasses" and excused because its "not elon"
who owns something is immaterial to my user experience
also no i'll be out of town
@philipdrobar @ben tbh i dont remember why i stopped coming here but my vague recollection was somewhere between 'more sexism than twitter' and 'more unnecessary bad faith pedantry than twitter' which were very low bars to be tripped over lmao
if another person who has never actually released a game explains gamedev to me i will spit
