Everyone whos saying they pulled a 5 hour long bait and switch on people just for the hl2vrai trailer. It wasn't just a bit for that it was so much more than that. Everyone is switching on a dime calling it such a good joke or staying stuck mad and pissy about it. Genuinely it was a fun stream. It was something the RTVS team clearly had a lot of fun making, they put 3 years of work and planning into it. There is more to them than HLVRAI. They never directly said it would be HL2VRAI.
But honestly though. I can't blame them for teasing it as such. If YOU put 3 years of effort into something would you allow it to just get ignored by everyone because it isn't what everyone cares about you for. Or would you want to make sure all the people started liking you for it initially would see how you grew.
BrBaVRAI was the same thing that HLVRAI was supposed to be. A fun stream with friends.
It isn't just for you man. It's supposed to be something fun and if you genuinely threw a shitfit about it or if you gave up on it called it unfunny, mid, or even bad. Only to turn around once you got what you Wanted.
You do not deserve what the RTVS crew will make.
You do not deserve HL2VRAI
EDIT: Honestly I don't care about most of the shit people are upset about. Yeah its fine for them to troll you they're known for that. Don't treat their work like it was always shit up until the point they gave you the shit you were waiting for. Just because you wanted a Twix doesnt mean a Snickers doesn't taste just as sweet. They aren't morally bad people for a prank that upset you.

Man since getting a new job my stress levels around basically everything have dropped and I don't want to hear any financial advice out of anyone who, when grocery shopping, wouldn't by anything over $3.50 MAX because everything is dummy expensive and milk and cheese are staples that cost and I'd rather skip on basically everything ELSE rather than sacrifice two ingredients I use frequently when cooking.
But like at the same time $3.50 was my fuckin limit and now $10 is my limit because my grocery budget has an extra 60-80$ involved, which is a massive stress reliever. Instead of being clean out of most food when I shop I'm just low on food and can, when pressed, wait up to a whole week past the 2 weeks I usually shop in and I'm fine. If I did that prior to my new job I'd HAVE to starve at least half those days to make that work, by the time I'd go grocery shopping on my old budget I'd already be scrimping by and had been for a good 3 days. Something tells me no one who thinks they know everything about poor people's finances would know what to do when they can't even buy anything above $3.50 because milk and cheese ate nearly a quarter of my budget alone if I needed both in one go. Also pretty sure no rich person has ever felt buyers remorse over some treat item that cost that $3.50 that I decided to splurge on only to feel bad 3 months later as if the three fuckin dollars will be useful to me in any way lmao

God loves you and Jesus died for our sins! God loves you whether or not you love Him back!
i'm the only one accountable for my actions, and i'm not interested in "love" from anyone who would threaten me with eternal suffering and have the solution be sacrificing someone who didn't do anything wrong.

return of the gay uncles? if u take seconds 🥰
Seconds are warmly welcomed and encouraged, thank you bestie (Quick context, let's pretend Bobby did not in fact kill Lucy, her death was a genuine accident and he had nothing to do with it)
<3
'It's just that I promised Lil I'd look after Charli for her while she went out with her mates,' Freddie called through.
'Well, it's' -Bobby winced at a unsettling noise from the back room but tried his best not to think about what might have just fallen as he checked his watch- 'almost one, so our lunch break isn't technically for another hour. But I don't mind if you take it early, I can look after this place on my own.'
He waited for his response, silently hoping he would say he could wait out the hour. While he was telling the truth and was perfectly capable of looking after the chippy on his own due it being completely dead, that was exactly why he hoped he'd stay. With Charli, and work, and Bobby's dad being back in town, they hadn't had a lot of time to hang out. This was the best he was going to get.
'Oh, Bob, I love ya, you know that?' He peeked his head back around the door to flash him a grin. 'You're the best boss ever. I mean, you're the only boss I've ever had but that don't change the facts. Promise I'll make it back up to ya.'
Bobby smiled, ignoring his sinking heart. 'That's okay. Really. It's fine.' He rolled his eyes. 'Go on, go look after Charli.'
Freddie disappeared momentarily then reappeared a second later, his face contorted with concern. 'Wait, if I go now, is your dad gonna dock my wages? It's just, I can't really afford...'
'No, course not,' Bobby assured him. 'I won't tell him.'
'Uh oh. I don't think your dad would be too happy if he heard that.'
Bobby startled. His head snapped up to stare at Christian, leaning in the doorway like a day hadn't passed since he last saw him. The only difference was a few more grey hairs and deeper lines around his lopsided smile. Other than that? It might as well have been yesterday when he last saw him rather than... six years? Seven? He couldn't even remember at this point, it had been so long already.
'Letting staff off early? That's one thing, but lying to your old man?' Christian tutted and shook his head. Then he stopped, and a grin split his face. 'I won't tell if you don't.'
Send me the title/number of a wip and make me write it!

Life was not better in the past. Or simpler.
It was actually harder to get basic stuff done, because we didn't have easier ways to do it until later - because those were invented by people fed up with doing things the hard way all the time.
The people everyone complains about on social media have always existed. They didn't just poof into existence from nowhere.
Humans always have and always will find different ways to express their shittiness. All the internet and smartphones are (among many good things), are new ways to do it where the world can see them instead of just their hometown.

Somewhere recently I got a lot of followers so just wanted to check in to make some things clear about where I stand on some things:
This is a space i keep open bc i like to share information about myself or knowledge in general bc knowledge is power and i want to empower you. This does not give you permission to be weird in the sense of invading my inbox with sexually forward stuff. Luckily has only happened a couple of times so I don't anticipate it but just as a preventative bc I don't like having to block anyone so something like that but I don't have a 3 strike rule for that it's a one and done.
I am very open tho about many topics including but not limited to sex bc I think the more repressed topics need to be talked about so we can find healthier places to exist bc where many people are at, at least in my country, it ain't healthy. What I post/repost isn't always about me. Just keep that in mind that you shouldn't assume anything about me unless I say it. If you chose to follow me you do so at your own discretion. While most sexual stuff i talk about is usually in an educational/informational vein, and I don't tend to make dirty jokes, I like to have the freedom to. So just be aware there can be mature material here so you follow at your own risk.
We do not condone any bigotry and to be clear here are some examples ( disclaimer for all these btw history matters, who holds the power matters, it isn't just about feelins):
Terfs/transphobia
Racism
Ace phobia (if unclear i am open for questions! I will not bite!)
Homophobia, ace phobia, or any bigotry towards one's sexual identity bc IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU
Xenophobia
Sexism
Bigotry towards unhoused or impoverished folks
Ableism
Antisemitism
Bigotry towards neurodivergent
Bigotry towards sex workers/sex work
And while ime sure I missed some i think you get the idea and if you don't anyone is welcome to message me! I'm happy to discuss anything so long as there is mutual respect. You're allowed to tell me if i go overboard just like i can to you bc we're both capable of flaw a d mistakes as well as learning and teaching and growth!
So that being said i know who I am and what i know about and I want to share that in what i consider to be a market of life experiences here on tumblr. I may not have many but i love to learn and if I can be some kinda buoy for anyone else out there I'm happy to be of service! If you just want to be another shadow that's fine too there are hundreds just like ya so you fit right in.
In any case welcome if you feel it, if ya don't then
Wishing you happy trails and may you find your way.
Ps: i post a lot of food bc i like food
