    Life in this system is like a everlasting grind session in a MMORPG without actually leveling up.

        Having the time and resources to pursue new skills is a privilege that a whole shitload of people do not have.

          Bullshit. Whatever you are doing, you are getting better at it. Even if those skills only apply at work, or begging on the street.

          Edit: fine. New skills.

          I still think a person can learn new skills anywhere, but I will pull back on volume.

        Yup. It is really odd when one notices they have leveled up in a skill. Some task is suddenly far easier than one remembers it being.

        these fucking PKrs and pay-to-play assholes are making it really hard to want to keep playing this stupid fucking game.

        someone should report this shit to the mods, not like they’d do anything though.

          Yeah it’s like two movies in one and has some pretty good acting, I wonder if there is a directors cut out there

            Why would there need to be? It doesn’t sound like there was any studio interference or that the film makers were unhappy with the final cut.

            I didn’t know about this:

            Sean Bobbitt served as cinematographer, who preferred using handheld cameras and natural lighting. Cianfrance saw Bobbitt’s experience as a war photographer as an advantage, and was impressed with his process and sense of composition, which proved useful for a scene in the beginning which featured a tracking shot towards the globe of death. Bobbitt initially stood inside the globe to capture footage of the motorcyclists, but a bike hit his head and he suffered a concussion. As a result, the director did not allow him inside again.

    Ah yes. The relentless march of time grinds on. It’ll be Christmas again soon.
