Absolutely disgusted that in 5 hours I am ONLY at 67 million prestige smh!!!
Also no, I DONT have 600 Yous. I don't even have 600 Prisms.

I am at the stage in Cookie Clicker where in order to get what I need for Ascensions, I have in fact rationalized that letting it idle while I get my hair braided will in fact, bring the big gains. I have two auras going and butter stonks is hittin.

It's this but almost any fandom.
All it takes is that one pocket of Fucking Weirdos™ to make the entire fandom/IP/hobby an unbearable cesspool.
What do you mean you pushed a child over cards? You sent death threats over a design? You stalked a worker's IG?

Honestly, if anything, those same exact folks are what is ruining it for everyone. Between the scalping and vilification, they take something meant to be enjoyed by everyone and turn it into trash. I have a niece that’s in to Pokemon and she gets frustrated that she has to ask the folks at

Y'all know how much I love Sonic, Breath of Fire, Sailor Moon, Klonoa-theres a few things that when I see something new for them I'm irrationally happy.
I am never.....uh.....this happy.
Loser behavior.

Loser behavior.
One of my most vivid and ugly memories from tabling Archie Comics’ booth at San Diego Comic Con way back when, was watching the floor open on Sat & seeing a tidal wave of grown neckbeard men rush for the Hasbro (MLP) and Funko (Pop) booths specifically. One of them actually pushed aside a child.
They used to do this with action figures, especially Star Wars. One Target punched little holes in the backer cards to stop it. I heard a story of a KB Toys opening to a crowd of grown men, some rolling under the gate like Indiana Jones.

this is a wild take not just because it's incredibly fucking weird, but as an aging millennial I can assure you we are not all wholesome and most of us fucking hate you.
brother this sounds like you didn't even try to find your people and I don't think those people are 'aging millennials'.

I've long theorized now that every viral "Bluesky is boring" Twitter post is made by those who are addicted to being rage baited.
I finally found someone basically admitting to it.
Also OP only lasted 2 days 💀

I will say though it has been interesting to learn about the processes of actual development in the concept stages
But yeah... It all reeks of ineptitude. And it's not even doing what it's advertised it should be (supposedly)
