General Discussion - Tencent & Charan - Forum

I lived in China for 7 years and I'm married to a Chinese. Educated Chinese people know that Tencent is an organization that is - behind the curtain of course - run by government. They help to collect data on citizens and foreigners alike. Wechat is just one of the most successful tools with which they do it. “Human decency is not derived from religion.

Like I said. I believe Chris believes. I also believe a company like Tencent has enough money to legally squish Chris, should a dispute over contract ever arise, like a flea. Fleas are actually surprisingly durable for their size, it's nigh on impossible to squish one. That's what fire is for. Now presenting!

Fair enough I might... but through a 3rd party key reseller based in some obscure place with good reviews. I figure it'd be through steam. I'm okay doing it that way. Because I am supremely fucking lazy. :) The idea and/or approach would be to keep as much of what I might spend out of the hands of people or people's I do not want it to go to and still get the product. Seems a futile effort. Might as well give most to GabeN the dark lord we know and trust, then let him pay the Orwellian's. Saved by proxy? Now presenting!

I remember becoming very adept at catching them between my nails and ending their shitty little jumpy bitey lives...and I imagine Tencent's legal army are equally adept if not more so at their own form of squishing. I don't know, I quite like his idea of fire. I can see it already, Phoenix armour set, Fire Wings, Infernal footprints and character effect, Fiery visage, Fire and Phoenix weapon effects. Leap slamming through the room on wings of glory. Fleas won't stand a chance against such sheer support packery. Carry on my waypoint son, there'll be peace when maps are done. Lay your portal gem to rest, don't you die no more. 'Cause it's a bitter sweet symphony this league. Try to make maps meet, you're a slave to the meta, then you leave.

it'd be a good timing for a "small indie studio with good values" to pop up out-of-nowhere. The spot is ripe for the taking apparently.	Posted by teksuoPOE#2987 on May 22, 2018, 10:40:55 AM Quote this Post

Yeah, they don't even need to actually believe in those values either, just say they do. To Kickstarter! Now presenting! Venom ink; malice in the pen, poison on the paper, anger in the mind.
