Gets more and more bothered by "You lost a customer you gained last night" thread, as "last night" gets more inaccurate by 24h each day and gives a totally wrong impression that FD are gaining and losing one more user per day. Considers reporting thread so that a moderator rota be established to update the thread title each day at midnight, replacing "last night" with "2 weeks ago", "15 days ago", "3.2 moon cycles ago", "21 days before the Germany-Hungary football match", etc.

Can I add "two period cycles ago"? You could also have "15 tampons ago" but I suspect there might be questions about the degree of saturation.

Still broken here...

you dont just skip that sissy drink method and put the beans directly in your butt like an adult?

Your intestines have as many nerve endings as your spine and has a massive and poorly understood role in your mood and drives and it's all driven by organisms that aren't human. They crave fresh, organic, locally sourced free-range food that hasn't been blasted with stomach acid and bile. do it the right way and put those coffee beans in from the other side.

Caffeine suppositories?

Why'd I never think of that?

The time it takes to complete an insignificant proportion of the solar system's orbit around the galactic centre later, FD lost a customer. A customer they would have lost an equally insignificant time later, as we all in the end turn to dust.

I wrote something like this in a good bye letter.
To a sex worker girl I hired met a few hours earlier.
I didn't want her to make herself any deluded hopes,
so I made up some service quality issues and made the usual "you have been served" ritual.
She started to cry, so I promised to forget about this traumatic experience, if she gives me all my money back.
And a freebee as compensation.

I like such win-win resolutions.

I'm just fair like that.

Can I scream male privilege!? That's a manufactured win-win... It's really a win-lose. 🙃

Funny story though.

dont pretend like i started you on this journey of butt exploration. you know the kind of videos that supercruise has driven you to start watching since you ran out of all your normal ones. This was going to happen.

Very true. Although I have to say that I blame the YouTube recommendation algorithm.

The things I've SEEN. The horror of it!

And I thought that Space Madness had something to do with Space. Turned out it was the algorithm all along.

It's basic respect for statistics. If you are going to attack FD through numbers, at least have the decency to make them accurate and meaningful. A +1/-1 retention score is useless without its proper time window context. "Last night" simply doesn't cut it. What do they even mean by night by the way? Between sunset and sunrise in the UK where the ED servers are located? I suspect not, and they mean their own local timezone. And should we really believe that the customer was gained and lost past sunset but before sunrise? Again, I suspect this is more of a vague expression. But then, the numerical nature of the attack is discredited by the sloppiness of the burden-of-proof. Which means that FD gets away with it again. And it's all the fault of an obviously lazy disgruntled poster that couldn't be bothered to get his facts straight. This is why we keep failing to beat The Machine.

Not really. know full well, better than anyone actually, the stunt they pulled on the ED community!

The reason it perpetuates is that people still play along, even if they grumble about it. People like me that vote with our feet just aren't numerous enough to make a difference.

I hope that the individuals who posted a 'lost another player last night' thread did actually walk. Unlikely because it takes more than 2 hours to setup the bindings to still be able to get a refund on Steam!

Again, only know the truth of this, and they obviously aren't talking!

Edit : perhaps that is why the bindings setup is such a mess... So that it does take you hours to setup the game!
