[knock]

knock, machinarium, nice find, just spent half an hour with me son puzzling our way through the 3 part demo.... got the ful version?

have you got the ful version?

I have, it's good! I got it as part of this but I see that's finished, they never run for long, those bundles (there's a new one every few weeks at that website).

Because you can't have negative without positive. It's all relative Einstein. (Cue Rockshit apoplexy at that last line)

Yours.

Mr Anti-Censorship.

What is your actual problem? Maybe if you didn't drag me into your snidey crack constantly I wouldn't have to respond and reiterate the fact you are a grumpy old tosser.

In other news I've injured my shoulder, feels pretty bad just now and I've got a cash in hand plastering tomorrow and sunday, can't really dingy it. Letting a mate down would be bad, plus the money, can tell it's not going to help this or my gyming though doing anything on this shoulder.

Flake seems to have appeared again locally at £10 a point, debating a half gram and a few cans with mates, possibly not wise but it is friday..

OK Effie,i know you have been through a lot lately,so i'll try my best to answer in a polite,coherent manner.As far as i'm concerned,moderators on here are very cliquey,so i'm not even gonna bother. My feelings between the mod in question remain the same. I,m not on here 24/7,just see my post count whereas others who have joined at a later are into the thousands though that's irrelevant really. I only come on here because it is a goldmine of information,i know many of my posts can be irrelevant drivel and i have'nt been well lately (mentally). I apologise to you Effie.

your first line to Effie is nothing short of patronising. [edit] and totally un-fucking-called for

the rest of your post just highlights the totally unfounded nature of your grudge.

you're emotionally all over the place, and irrational and talking in a wildly flippant and irresponsible manner

personally if I were you, I'd log out, stop posting, stop reading, spend some time getting yourself sorted and stop succumbing to your paranoid urges to blame others for your unhappiness

What is your actual problem? Maybe if you didn't drag me into your shite constantly I wouldn't think you're such a grumpy old tosser.

A) I don't drag you anywhere, constantly, but maybe I'd like to. By the hair. Screaming.

B) Oh look it's another 'young' person using age as an insult.

C) Why aren't you dead yet?

D) Bring back Andy2g - that was a good laugh.

Aye the full game is taxing for me! It could well test the patience of a six year old.

The humble bundle site isn't demos, it's full games released on a pay what you like, give something to charity basis. They're from lots of different games producers. So some of the humble bundle games don't have demos. But the producer of Machinarium has other stuff here:

^^^ scrooloose, you don't need to apologise to me, do you? I'm sorry you've been having a hard time lately, I did try to PM you about it but I think you have them disabled..

I don't think the mods are cliquey, that is unfair; when you work closely with people as a team it's natural that you become friends, but I have treated this the same as I would if it was targetted against a BLer not another mod. In fact, thinking about it, I may have left it a bit longer than usual because it's aimed at a mod and I am very conscious that this is a difficult issue and I don't want people to think we're just looking out for our own, and because it does become more of a transparency issue when it is relating to a staff member who is able to edit/remove/infract etc.

You are still very welcome to post in here and take advantage of all the info on BL, it's just this one issue of abusive posts in here that I am asking you to stop. You're very welcome to PM myself or another mod to talk about any aspect of this if you want to as well, I just don't want to see abusive posts like that in here so I would really appreciate it if you could stop. Thanks for coming back to discuss this. I do think taking a break might be the best idea ey?

 

[rockstar 69]

I think you did just above Oh Great One!

Anyway...... it is time!

Thanks , really, my boy is really into this, he's gone to bed now and he keeps shouting downstairs about new plans for tackling the game, really inspired him , he'll be well pleased with finding more in a similar vein.

grumpiness is what happens when you don't succumb to complacency & the majority surrounding you does. the two factors can never be parted.

^ true story

grumpiness is insanely underrated

 

[Arnold]

I'm the PLUR on this page

 

[knock]

So yeah, an eighth of immodium and I think I've got some Bazooka gel too.

Cool, glad to be of service

PS I'm also against censorship but I had my rant the other day so I'm all spent :D

To be fair to RS, maybe he expects someone old enough to be his dad not to take the piss out of his dead friends and one of the most harrowing experiences of his life at every possible opportunity?

 

[effie]

I could go for some Bazooka gel knock, or maybe some E45 if you have any? I hear it's great smoked on foil :D

edit: also, I don't think SHM was taking the piss out of rockstar's dead friend at all, but it is a sensitive topic. I really don't want to have to do any more <snip>ing today, thanks guys I understand why you both feel how you do but again I don't think Gibberings is really the place for it to be rehashed again..

How was that patronising? I'm not blaming anyone for my unhappiness. How on earth was that response wildly flippant and irresponsible? WTF are you on about? Some of your postings are about as nonsensicle as mine.butt out of it.

and tbf to SHM, he originally didn't do that. that was a misinterpretation & unfortunate coincidence [unless SHM has confirmed otherwise]

the enstein comment is a staple for many, in the same vein as 'no shit sherlock' or whatever.

SHM is referring to the situation that resulted out of that misinterpretation.

if I'm wrong, then I'm sure those that know will put my interpretation straight

A) I didn't. I used a well-worn phrase "it's all relative Einstein' - RS seems to think he owns the TM.

B) Fuck off. Pretty please.

i have no desire to take up your personal cause since you're clearly talking nonsense and what you actually post isn't relevant to me. hope that's clear.

I will however, exercise my opinion on some of the fundamentals it crosses. so no, I wont butt out of that.

 

[effie]

^ that's my interpretation too Marmz

I guess with something like that it's natural for it to have the potential to upset even if not intended - I know I am very oversensitive about Dave - but that's not SHM's fault at all, neither is it rockstar's. I understand the nature of the grievance between them but it's been discussed a lot already and I just made a big deal over someone else's abusive posts, I really don't want it to descend into that here. Got a lot of time for both parties and they know it but that doesn't mean I won't approach it like I would whoever was involved..

edit: okay ninja'd, this was to Marmz's prev post. Moving fast in Gibberings today!
