“Master Yoda, surely you did not track me down for a mere report. Especially when my Padawan has been so diligent in filing his own.”
I’M CRYING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I COULD NOT HAVE ASKED FOR ANYTHING FUNNIER THAN YOU KNOW OBI-WAN WAS BEING SUPER FUCKING PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE WITH HIS REPORT FILING.
HE’S MAKING SURE QUI-GON KNOWS HE IS UTTERLY SHIT AT IT
QUI-GON PROBABLY NOT CARING THAT HE’S UTTERLY SHIT AT IT
OBI-WAN PROBABLY WRITING TWENTY PAGES OF THE MOST BORING SHIT IN THOSE REPORTS JUST BECAUSE, BY GOD, IF HE HAS TO DO THIS (BECAUSE HIS MASTER IS SUCH UTTER SHIT AT DOING IT), HE’S GOING TO MAKE SURE THE PERSON READING THEM HAS TO SUFFER AS WELL
YES, MASTER SINBUE, YOU WILL HAVE TO READ THIRTY PAGES OF REPORT ABOUT THE LOCAL FLORA THAT I COPIED AND PASTED + SLIGHTLY REWORDED SO YOU CAN’T SAY I JUST COPIED AND PASTED IT FROM SPACE WOOKIEEPEDIA, BECAUSE IT’S VERY IMPORTANT TO THE MISSION
VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU KNOW THE EXACT SPECIES OF PLANT THAT MASTER QUI-GON TRIPPED OVER WHEN HE WAS RESCUING THE PRIESTESS OF WOOD AND THE EXACT NUMBER OF CORUN THORNS HE GOT TANGLED IN HIS HAIR AND THE HOUR AND A HALF HE SPENT TRYING TO COMB THEM OUT
AND IT’S NOT AT ALL THAT HE’S JUST RATTING HIS MASTER OUT
know what I hate? how uni’s have all of these “de-stress events” and preaching about mental health around exams but don’t actual want to fucking do anything about the shitty system of education they’ve created that literally makes kids have anxiety attacks and suicidal thoughts. yes education should be challenging, but it should not compromise your wellbeing for it. it’s like saying “yeah we realize the system is horrible, but here have free hot chocolate, it’ll make everything better”. the education system is flawed and broken and they know it, but they could care less.
let autistic people infodump about their special interests without laughing at them or telling them they’re annoying. that kinda shit is what wrecks someone’s self-esteem and makes it even harder for them to form relationships bc everyone has told them they’re annoying and that their interests are stupid. don’t do it
forgot to add: this goes for ppl w adhd / add that have hyperfixations as well
as an autistic person w add i approve this message but i’d also like to add that this doesn’t mean you can never ask someone who is infodumping on you to slow down or if you could talk about something else or that you don’t have the time to talk right now or whatever, just don’t be an asshole about it.
great addition!!!!!!!!! very good addition that i honestly shoulda put in the original post, thank you for stating it!
Duuuuude I still totally don’t understand it BUT. I made a wordpress account and in the settings page there is an “import blog” thing. There are a ton of options of websites where you can import content from and waaaay down you can find the tumblr option.
Then… well it’s taking forever to me bc I have roughly 69.000 posts so I can’t say it works bc I haven’t seen the process through just yet, but if it does work I’ll let you all know!
Sorry I can’t help more than that! I’ll keep you posted on how it goes!
long story short bethesda accidentally doxxed people who complained
in case you missed it, the chain of events is roughly as follows:
1. fallout 76 launches. it is entirely online. there are a lot of bugs. a whole lot of bugs. people report countless bugs, many of which are game-breaking. bethesda’s communication leaves a lot to be desired. fallout 76 officially has a no refund policy, but due to the large number of people requesting refunds, many refunds are issued.
throughout the following events, they are largely vague in regards to patches, support, outreach, and the fallout community is split between defending or criticizing their actions.
2. people begin to realize that the $200 collector’s edition, which promised a canvas bag, came with a low-quality nylon bag. bethesda claims it was too expensive to make the canvas bags and that they cannot possibly honor their $200 bundle, despite promotional material listing the canvas bag as part of the bundle up until release and until shortly after.
3. bethesda offers 500 in-game atoms (game currency) to individuals who purchased the collector’s edition. to receive the atoms, players must submit a support ticket with personal information, images, and proof of purchase. it is worth noting that these 500 atoms are worth approximately $5 USD, and cannot even purchase an in-game canvas bag.
4. after significant backlash, bethesda begins producing the promised canvas bags. to get the bag, people have until january 31st to submit a support ticket proving they purchased the collector’s edition. again, this requires submitting a ticket with ample personal information.
5. at some point, everyone’s support tickets became viewable to people who submit their own support tickets. meaning, the full names, usernames, addresses, phone numbers, emails, proof of purchases, and partial credit card details of everyone who submit a support ticket for any bethesda product were viewable. it also allowed anyone to open or close anyone else’s support tickets. bethesda effectively doxxed the most hardcore of their fanbase – the ones who spent the most money and were most likely long time fans. the long time fans who may have been inclined to defend bethesda up until this point. following this leak, a huge chunk of even the most hardcore fans have stopped defending bethesda.
the status of the leaked data is currently unknown. it is also unknown how long the leaked information was visible. several people took screenshots, meaning that it was possible for all of the leaked personal information to have been collected, scraped, or otherwise saved with nefarious intent.
