Lack of humility

I realize I am sometimes guilty of this, and it's something I am trying to diminish in myself. But it really bugs me when people have that bragging/I'm-awesome attitude. I end up trying to avoid playing with such people.

Constantly getting stuck on stuff that I wouldnt have gotten stuck on previously because I dont have the same control over my character that I did before. (for example oranbega wall torches and sewer doorways come to mind) This has been bugging me more than anything else since resubbing a month ago. Since the controls I used in aion (using mouse for turning and camera and using auto run for going forward) were significantly different than what I used in CoH a year ago (never using mouse, using auto follow EXTENSIVELY and arrow keys for wenever i didnt have something to follow)which is again different from what I'm using now (using mouse for camera and auto run for forward most of the time, not using follow nearly as much as I'd like). :headdesk:

Something from a different thread brought this to my attention.

People who AFK in a base/mission or in a regular zone constantly but don't hide. So 90% of the time when you ask them to join a TF they never respond. And then they cry when you stop asking.

Oh and THAT bush at the beginning of the 3rd mission on the ITF.

My opinion makes perfect sense being this is a pet peeve thread. Your response perhaps should have been "People who hate on catgurls" which would have been on topic.

Back on topic.

People that take other people's opinions entirely too seriously. I wish I could make a toon named "IT IS A VIDEO GAME!"

I will say ^ this. However I would change it to "something small that happened in a game."

I understand being impacted in a video game by others actions, I have experienced that many times. However to make a huge deal over something out of your control that really wasn't a huge deal, makes no sense.

I feel sorry for some of the kids who come to your houses on Halloween.

"Trick or Treat!"

"Okay that costume makes no sense! No candy for you!"
My peeves are large and numerous.

And I can't make a costume to save my digital life, so I don't hold that against anyone.

A MILLION TIMES YES! I 'EFFIN HATE THAT!

Along the similar lines...you're on a blaster or corruptor, nice fat herd ready for a nuking. *clicks nuke, suddenly server rubberbands you and end up nuking one enemy* FFFFUUUUUUU-


I'll always be a "Champion" at heart. My server away from home.

If I had meant that, I would have said that.

Obviously one of my pet peeves is people who object to things for no apparent logical reason. Also knee-jerk responses. And generalizations.


'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.
'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.

People that have to have the last word in a forum fight, no matter how stupid that word is.


Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

People that are not as bored as me right now.

I was just using your pet peeve instead of calling a person out on blatant hypocrisy. It wasn't directed at you.

I'm definitely not taking sides here. I am curious, however, about the statement above. Isn't the implied assertion that there is an apparent logical reason for playing/liking a catgirl? If so, what is it?
