One time I posted my ass on a forum. A woman was posting her tits and I said my ass had more cleavage than her. She called me out. I posted. She deleted her account after being made fun of by everyone in the subreddit.

It then got reposted on reddit best of. So at least 2 separate groups of people laughed at my ass/that woman.

Even got my own thirsty message which was different.

I appreciated the confidence boost this gave me. But now my ass is out there. Maybe you’ve seen it?

What’s a dumb thing you did online?

No ragrets tho

    I was one of the fucking idiots that preordered No Man’s Sky. The devs have done a lot to make up for it, so I don’t really regret it anymore as it’s a decent game now, but at release it was so drastically bare-bones compared to what they advertised that if the legal system actually gave a shit about consumer protection, the staff of Hello Games would have served jail time.

    But Sean was a charismatic little con artist, and he cut right past my defense. bUt ThiS gUy’S diFfeReNt!! Bruh I fuckin knew better than that!

      Don’t feel bad I put money into star citizen early on and I still don’t have a stable playable game.

        Star Citizen, Yooka-Laylee, Broken Age, A Hat in Time, The Good Life.

        At least A Hat in Time was a solid W.

        It’s not for launching a bad product. It’s for lying about what the product is. It’s fraud. There’s no excuse for that.

        If I sell you a 2025 Ferrari then give you a 2011 Honda Civic, I broke the law and you got scammed.

        Even if I take the unexpected step of sending you a civic-to-Ferrari conversion kit after the fact that makes the car I delivered somewhat comparable to the one I advertised, that doesn’t excuse the initial deception.

        What they did was deliberate and dishonest - it’s awesome that they’ve taken (a shit ton of) steps since to make it right, but it’ll never be right.

        Holding them accountable is not psychotic.
