Got the sense Doctor Who ran into a problem many shows for children do: they forgot to appeal to children in favor of the tumblr and reddit adults. That’s what Torchwood was for.

Genocide mad Labour about to force the BBC to silence another marginalized voice against fascism on Joanne's orders.

Remember when Joanne said Hermione was black and they all cheered for her?

Honestly the older I get the more I wish I could just purchase a game to support the studio, and not actually have to play it to experience the story.

I don’t mean like, I want to watch the cutscenes only, because a lot of important world building and moments happen in conversations and dialogue while you walk through the game.

Wish there was a mode where you play the game without any actual gameplay or enemies, all QTE and let me digest The Last of Us Part II as a 5 hour interactive experience where I just walk and listen to pretty music and relax instead of having to spend 25 hours repeating the same actions and fighting the same enemies for 80% of the experience.

Just watch someone else play it on YouTube like Nepenthe did with Need for Speed: Heat?

I did this with Mortal Kombat 9-11 cutscenes and it was so much more entertaining than any of the Marvel stuff since Endgame. Legit fun as fuck and impressive amount of story stuff for what's just a fighting game.

I have never in my life had an issue with anyone I have ever worked with but this guy at my job is really starting to bug me.

I'm pretty friendly with everyone. When I first started to work here, I introduced myself and everything. I overheard him talking about a movie that I wanted to see (The Substance).

I joined the conversation and said that I was looking forward to seeing it. I tried to get him to talk about it more but he wasn't very receptive so whatever.

So over the weekend I believe, I saw the movie. At work I told him I saw the movie and loved it, but I told him I thought the end was weird. And he was like, "That's because you're a man!"

Dafuq. Last time I checked, he was a man as well.

Then today, I made my lunch….the SAME lunch I've been making since I started working here in January. I just warmed it up in the microwave.

He came up to my door and said, "Your food smells like trash. Can I close your door?"

Omg 🤣 Are you fucking serious

For the record, it's literally chicken breast from a slow cooker with some seasoning.

I've tried to be friendly with him but for whatever reason, he has been cold to me during most of our interactions. I say good morning to him and everyone every morning, and his response is always a cold "good morning" with the flattest tone ever. He always asks everyone else what their weekend plans are, or what they're doing later in the evening, but never me.

As it turns out, we're both gay (I over heard him talking to another coworker), but he doesn't know I am (we were talking about something and he asked if I had a girlfriend and I say no). I thought we had some commonality there but I guess not.

He doesn't have to be my friend or whatever but I've always been on friendly terms with my coworkers. At my last job, we all went to the beach. I definitely don't see that here.

OP, don't retaliate. Don't say anything back. Nod and smile, and go about your day…

…and then quietly open a .word document and log every hostile interaction immediately after it happens. Include the time, the day, where it happened, what was said, and who witnessed it (if anyone).

Let the number of infractions get to 5 or so, then put them in an email with the subject line "History of hostile workplace interactions with X" and send it to your supervisor with an HR supervisor CC'd.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/this-guy-at-my-job-is-getting-on-my-nerves.1155558/#post-138052761

Ironically, he is always complaining about "toxic work environments" and how people are rude. Like seriously. 🙄

I've only had to report a coworker once (she literally came into my office cursing at me).

https://www.resetera.com/threads/this-guy-at-my-job-is-getting-on-my-nerves.1155558/#post-138055857

The only thing even remotely reportable here is the "food smells like trash" comment. HR would laugh you out of the room if you complained a coworker didn't say hello in a jovial enough tone.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/this-guy-at-my-job-is-getting-on-my-nerves.1155558/page-2#post-138068046

I honestly feel targeted. He has been this way with me since day one. And he is soooooo nice to everyone else.

I tried to smooth things over with our last conversation (when he asked me if I had a girlfriend; we were talking about a variety of topics and that came up). But today? Fuck it. I'm done. I have been nothing but nice to him. I don't deserve his attitude.

If he does that food shit next week, there WILL be a problem. Thinking about it on the drive home just pissed me off even more.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/this-guy-at-my-job-is-getting-on-my-nerves.1155558/page-2#post-138073380

OP you've always got a problem with people lol.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/this-guy-at-my-job-is-getting-on-my-nerves.1155558/page-3#post-138090639

Lmao. Situations like these remind me of elementary school. A girl was really into me and always pushed me and got me into trouble and was very mean to me. I told my parents and the teacher and turns out she liked me.

But this guy? Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't. But we're adults now. I'm taking his actions at face value. I'm not saying good morning to him anymore. I'm not acknowledging him outside of work-related matters.

I heard him gossiping with another coworker about how he thinks it's disrespectful to not say good morning when you see someone. And that's true and I feel the same way.

If he didn't like me before, he's in for a treat.

Remember, this is the fucking psychopath that was hammering on the door of his female neighbour (that had a baby) at 4am because they were apparently too noisy.

That seems like a whole lot of assuming gender going on here….also how are you checking he’s a man? A bit of cock and bum fun in the toilet? Or sneaking a look at his trouser snake whilst taking a piss?

[Snoopy]

Of course Fatlord advises him to write down any "infractions" so he can snitch on the guy. Once a rat, always a rat.

[Potato]

Can you imagine being the kind of cunt that submits a dossier to HR of complaints that includes such hard hitting statements as: 

• He always asks everyone else what their weekend plans are, or what they're doing later in the evening, but never me.
  
• I say good morning to him and everyone every morning, and his response is always a cold "good morning" with the flattest tone ever.
  
• I heard him gossiping with another coworker about how he thinks it's disrespectful to not say good morning when you see someone.

Dear HR. 

I would like to lodge a complaint about Gavin. He has been very unprofessional. Here are some recent incidents

Mon 24th Feb. 9am. I had ten boxes of business cards in my drawer and at some point Gavin replaced the title on them from Ted PlanetSmasher, Paper Salesman. To Ted Bundy, Gay Horse Whisperer. This is a waste of company time and unprofessional.

Wed 2 Apr. 10am. I heard Gavin answering his phone saying, Hello this is Ted PlanetSmasher. I can't come to the phone right now because it's nap and cookie time. This is unprofessional and makes me look bad to clients

Friday 4th Apr. 1340. I came back from lunch and discovered Gavin had photo-shopped JK Rowling's face onto my bus pass. After work the driver wouldn't let me on because he thought I was being a transphobe.

Monday 15th Apr. 1400. While I was in a meeting Gavin painted my IPhone white with liquid paper. I know it was him because I'd told him I really wanted the latest white IPhone. This is the 3rd time he has done this.

Thursday 23 Apr. 1100. During break Gavin moved my desk and all my stuff into the kitchen. Then moved the water cooler and bookshelf to where my desk was. He also replaced the photo of my wife Karen with a photo of the fridge. I had to move it all back by myself because he said he was to busy researching wasps to help.

Wednesday 4th May. 9am. Sometime last night Gavin super glued pictures of his face onto the members of the Nickleback poster I have above my desk. This is damaging personal property. I suspect he also put super glue on my desk because my arms stick to it when I try to use my computer.

Please fire Gavin. Yours Ted PlanetSmasher.

Meanwhile, in Important Rules for Community Safety:
https://www.resetera.com/threads/on-ccu-threads-guidelines-prefixes-and-moderation.1162248/

These threads should not be created until a game has been *officially* released for at least 24 hours. Games that have a premium release window prior to the game's normal release do not qualify for a CCU thread until the game has officially released. Only one CCU thread will be allowed per game. The title can be updated with new milestone numbers on a reasonable basis (no more than once a day). The OP of a CCU thread is expected to be complete with:

Data in a readable format
Data source (with links)
Links to the game's OT / review thread

Additionally, if a game is available as part of a subscription service (Game Pass, PlayStation Plus, etc), that must be mentioned as part of the OP to prevent potential misinformation.

No videogame discussion on the videogame discussion forum!

[malfoyking]

They legitimately think so much of themselves...

[DavidCroquet]

New rule: every post that mentions a game title must also include (GOTY) in parenthesis. Since every game was released in some year, it is therefore a game "of the year", so this appellation is accurate.

This will reduce poster friction in the forum by demonstrating sensitivity to posters who are nonconsensually forced to perceive that games that they enjoy play feel vague affinity toward are either critically or commercially unsuccessful differently successful. 

All games are games of the year, and this should be respected by all posters. Violations will be harshly actioned.

The cope.  

Is impressive and hopefully runs the games that run badly at PS4 better… but a Nintendrone saying that is PS5 level.

Given that nearly every single PS5 game is STILL a cross-platform game, he's pretty much on the money.

What games (jap games don't count) are still cross platform ?

For the record your post is still wrong either way and it's just more Nintendrone cope
