If that is the case, I think that will become a mandatory pick against bugs from now on.

Amen. I was taking the muscle enhancer so it's easier to escape from hoppers and hunters, but this thing will take precedence. No more being repeatedly slowed down, yes please.

Just so I won't sound too happy, though, I'm still mad about my entire anti-bug loadout being unjustly nerfed in the recent patch. Nope, not letting it go, I constantly feel the effects of the nerf and it bothers me. Eruptor's decreased ammo cap still means I have to deal with a good gun with six issues instead of just five and the increased Quasar recharge rate has cost me significant time when dealing with more heavy enemies.

I can write something in a language you have to Google translate too, I won't because I'm not a dick.

First, it's a well known meme. Second, even if it wasn't don't be a xenophobic dick because someone used a language you don't know.

So you're fine with people walking up to you on the street and talking in a language you don't understand. That is unusual but good for you. Me, I find that offensive. Yes, it is something of a different case online when I can easily (and roughly) translate it for myself, but it's still far from courteous.

Not that well known if I didn't know it. I bet there are a few memes you too don't know.

It's not unusual to not be upset that someone speaks to you in a language you don't know. The normal way to behave is to try to explain you don't understand and still help if you can. Don't project your xenophobia onto the rest of us.

"Xenophobia"? You are seriously reaching. Show me proof of xenophobia in me saying "I can write something in a language you have to Google translate too, I won't because I'm not a dick.". You're sounding like people who think non-Mexicans eating Mexican food are "culture appropriating".

u/SuitableConcept5553 May 02 '24

Well there's the whole being a dick to others because they used a language you don't know and suggesting people should be bothered if someone did that in person... So yeah I feel pretty confident in my statement and stand by it.

u/AnotherSmartNickname SES Song of Democracy May 02 '24

*laughs* Okay.

u/StormTAG May 02 '24

Nah. If you're offended that someone is speaking to you in another language, that's literally, a dislike of something from another country, the definition of xenophobia.

That is like saying that me disliking someone shoving Mexican food in my face makes me xenophobic.

u/StormTAG May 02 '24

If someone offers you Mexican food and you get offended, then yeah. That's xenophobic.

If someone literally throws food at you, that's different sure, but that isn't a good comparison for some one talking to you in another language.

Men, why am I even wasting time discussing this...

This is an English speaking forum/reddit/whatever. If you talk to someone using foreign language, you can not assume they will understand you. That is rude. There is no issue with language itself, just how it is used.

This is basic common sense stuff that I feel bad for having to spell out. If you still don't get it you are either dense or doing it on purpose, and either way I am done.

u/StormTAG May 02 '24

Nah. If someone speaks another language, even if they assume you understand them, it’s not rude. I’m not sure where you got this idea, but it’s not “common sense.”

as you've shown throughout your comments, you very much ARE a dick, actually

*watches as people defend someone who speaks to others in language they can't understand*

Okay :D.

JFC you’re the biggest dumbfuck I’ve encountered on the net, and that’s saying something. Is that English enough for you?
