    What to understand in a video game? Grab a controller and you can feel if your fate intertwined.

    If you like this kinds of video then check out tierzoo YouTube channel. He describes the different species in terms of life/game meta relevance

    So it's okay to talk about RNGesus but then when you mention certain properties irl and someone takes offense you get moderated even though no rule was broken and you didn't deviate from topic more than the initial post you replied to? Welcome to Nazi Update Forums , where you get butthurt people to moderate you and the only message you get is >_> without an explanation on why you get moderated. Good job Mod. And yes, i know that's probably you again, because it's always you when there's barely a reason to moderate and all you get is that smiley. @Parth37955

    Well, RNGesus is part of the gaming religion. You pray to get a good drop or roll (like that dice game we played in NUF a while back)

    Seriously though, if you want to explain RNG to someone, the whole environment you are born in, your parents' wealth, genetic disposition, body size and aptitude are all things related to random factors and thus can be used to compare to RNG in a game. But someone got upset because it was 'harsh' and i get moderated for that.
    Yet it's alright for a specific someone to have massive swastikas on his signature on each and every post. Yes, that's not offensive at all.

    So we delete when people report, without reading the actual content? I can tell you this now, i compared RNG to random NUMBER generator being the amount of inches one has below the belt and he reported that for being harsh.
    I joked and asked if he didn't get a good 'roll' which is a pun on the same subject.

    Basically , someone with a tiny p*nis got offended by a pun and i get reported and deleted. Might've been below the belt but i wasn't that offensive. :blobpeek:

    Still the same thing, you didn't read the whole post. You just saw this one word , oh he must be offensive because it's Daoist Ninefaps. Still a poor excuse for neglectful moderating.
    If you had mentioned to be less 'colourful' in my speech i would've altered that, but that was very tame compared to most posts people make. Not to mention the second post that had zero obscenities within it.

    Pretty sure i could connect penis to gaming about a thousand ways, beginning with hard mode. :hmm:
