  • I played during beta and after too. The deck building aspect was one of the best parts. It was nice making different builds for runs, some for pistols only, some for headshot-bonuses and some for melees. :) Also it was nice to carry noobs with my refined builds.

    Also the characters had some casually heartwarming dialogue.

    But the paid DLCs and high price made me never actually buy the game (lisence). I think it doesn’t have support for community servers either, so when they stop supporting it, it’s dead.

    Yeah, Finnish.

    I don’t respect your hostility in the discussion. This comment reinforces that you and me merely have fundamentally differing opinions about the matter and there will be no conclusion.

    As for the rigidity of the discussion: I’m of the school of thought that strives for efficient communication and of the paradigm that things should argue, not people. I’m in this to learn stuff and learn about your opinion, not to clash with you.

    But I’ve come to realize that internet forums generally are filled with people who get empowered with argumentation errors and thus attempt at civilized discussion tends to be fools errand.

    You seem to have interesting opinions and so if you’d like to continue this discussion further, my Matrix handle is in the bio.

    According to social norms originating from bronze age mythology and oppressive edicts derived therefrom. Do try to keep up with modern society.

    Are you trying to claim that swearing is socially acceptable in modern society? You wouldn’t swear in your customer service profession and you wouldn’t swear to someone you respect.

    That makes no sense. The definition of successful use of language is expressing what you intend to express in the ideal manner for your specific purposes. A lack of versatility would hamper any efforts to achieve that goal.

    I would argue as someone who doesn’t natively speak english that words with double- or multimeanings (versatile) are hard to learn and interpret in language. They pave way to misunderstanding and by nature limit the richness of the language.

    Only when used improperly, like with any word.

    I would claim that using swear words are mostly if not always used inproperly.

    But writing this response I’m increasingly willing to blame cultural differences. My mother language is very hard to learn and in it you would add a suffix to add versatility to a word. I’d say we come from different places and respect different things in language.

    As per your suggestion:

    TL;DR: Shit happens, rally helps. Good talk, have a good one.

    This is incorrect.

    Swearing is undoubtedly poor language in the sense that it’s not socially all acceptable.

    Also it being versatile doesn’t make it any good, rather other way around. That swear word being used rather than other descriptive terms is use of poor language and sign of poor vocabulary.

    Also the study is about knowing many swear words rather than using them to fill in all gaps in sentences.
