This was quite the twist, I thought I was just in for innocent silliness, but I was then jumped by what was completely a surprise argument (so, more silliness, you could say)!
Often I find Nep unnecessarily aggressive and stubbornly opinionated, but this is certainly one instance where I found his comment (the "Job that sucks" joke) completely innocuous and without malice.
If I made an offensive joke about the Jews (which I won't) maybe some people on Stormfront or something would find it funny, but that doesn't mean it's OK to do it.
That itself doesn't make it okay, but that doesn't mean it isn't okay. It's fine. Make a joke about dead babies if you want. It's called a fucking joke.

FA, I've grown to like you since I came back, but Nep's right. That's just the kind of joke we make around here. Opportunistic, in the moment, silly, and offensive if you don't know that we do it in good fun, fully expecting to be the object of the same sort of jokes ourselves. Everyone take a breather, and hug this shit out.
Job, your analogy of "I only hit you if it hurt" works really well. So well, that I think you may not see how on the nose it actually is. That's just how we do things here. Also take a breather, enjoy the shitty fellowship that we shittily offer.
Nep, too often you get overly excited, and defensive, and angry, and angsty, and lash out, and that makes it harder for some people to accept when you aren't doing that. You've been better lately, though. So, smoke some crack, rape a Jewish prostitute, and cum on her dead mother, but for butt fuck's sake, everyone calm down.
Varrok, pirate less games, and stop being mad about the price that developer's think their effort is worth. It's their effort, they get to decide its worth. If it isn't worth that amount to you, your not buying it will speak more to the developer than any argument you may make about how much they suck.
I don't actually pirate games, since many years ago. There are few minor exceptions, but I for most of the time I just have money to buy them and support the companies. It wasn't always the case, as Poland still is a rather poor country. The games in Poland compared to an average salary are usually more expensive than in UK/US or other countries of greater economy. It makes me value the game and the money I spend on it even more.
Though I don't do it anymore, I'm still opposed to DRMs and other anti-piracy (and anti-customer) measures.
You can check out my Steam games list. I've bought a lot of games. Most of them cheaply, but I wouldn't even consider buying them / playing them at a higher price

You told me to do you! I just picked something at random, man.
