People who mix up your/you're and the people that know the difference and rub it in other people's faces in a weird passive-aggressive act of cyber-bullying.

See also "there/their/they're" and "definitely". I mean I'm not a grammar Nazi, but why the fuck can't anyone on the internets spell "definitely" right?

While it's not quite as annoying as your/you're and their/there/they're, mixing up "its" and "it's" can seriously get on my nerves if the piece of writing isn't casual, like chat or forums. And it's not even that big of a deal in terms of general grammar Nazi annoyance, but I read things very literally, and if I see "its" and "it's" mixed up, I'll read it how it's written and I will be confused and take a few seconds to realize what the writer was trying to say.

Trying to decide a name for the personal website where I'll collect all my art and game projects and will be making a devlog etc. And no, my real name isn't cool enough

Germany's irrational fear/hatred of games sucks.

The current trend in mainstream gaming that "games have to be interactive movies". You can't have a single-player action game without some bullshit cliche plot and lots of boring cutscenes and dialog to make sure the player can't just ignore it.

The really annoying trend to have loads of particle and smoke effects in fps games: 1) it's just a lazy way to hide a lack of content in the edges of the map, 2) it makes them unplayable on my computer

What's the name of the game? I possibly might be able to hook you up. Uh, not having a significant other has been bothering me for some reason lately. I'm 20, so everyone my age is either off at college or is a complete tramp by now. I get random play here and there, but I never actively search for it and it's ultimately not that fulfilling. Yarg.

losing grandmother is bad but i think with when they are old it is excusable. when my father left the my family was of shock for weeks and still we don't get over it we never saw him again. s my mother the worst she would never really recover she was often abused, was unsure whether loss was of sadness or relief. to this day i am unsure of whether i truly love my father. also it sucks when you borrow a video from store and you cannot watch because it is scratched or it works but is not good.

This. Also extended into whole game design. Now weh nI look into my archives I find that in 2007 I seemed to get lot of things done. I wonder if game making is losing it's meaning for me, which is kinda scary/sad since I don't want that happen. Sounds weird yeah but still...

What I was referring to was when you've been enthusiastically coding away for hours, when suddenly your mind and motivation just hit a brick wall and it becomes unbearable to accomplish even the simplest of algorithms. But yeah, yours is even worse
