Jesus christ, if lifetime access to an 'exclusive' (requires membership) community that's provided you 84 days over 3 years isn't worth $20 to you, then you're the most frugal person I've ever met. 20 Big Macs would feed you for 10 days assuming you eat twice a day (frugal diet). 2-3 movie tickets provides you with 4-6 hours of entertainment, BL provided you 17x as much entertainment per dollar. $20 at an arcade will buy you 16 games at 75c a game, a game lasts ~5 minutes, for 80 minutes or 1.33 hours of fun. Assuming you'd bought basic cable TV instead for $30 a month, over the past 3 years you'd have spent $1,080 on TV for the same amount of access you had to Blockland for $20. Hell, even if you only bought 3 months (90 days, 6 more than you've spent online) and watched TV 24/7, it would cost you $90. If you'd played World of Warcraft 24/7 until you reached 3 months of play time, that'd cost $45, if you played at the same amount of time you've spent online, that'd be $540.

All of that is considering only the time you've spent on the forums, any time you've racked up actually playing the game only adds on to that 84 days of online time.

TL;DR Epicduke is the single most frugal person I've ever heard of, even though Blockland has provided him with the least expensive fun that he's ever had in his life, he still wishes he had spent that $20 on something else.

What part of that sounded aggressive? None of it was, it was all said in a "yeesh, really?" surprised tone.

There's no point in posting it if it's not your opinion. I don't really care if the OP said that you can post things that aren't your opinion, it makes no sense to do that.

Plus, Epicduke already said it was his opinion.
well i guess i'm the outlier

Really, I was just highlighting how worthwhile Blockland is by comparing it to other common routes of fun.

my little ponie is sooo cul breh.

im from the nsa ur now being tracked hands up
whoops better hide my castor plant farm

People mocking autism without having any clue what it actually is need to do some damn research

People who constantly engage in worthless arguments need a functioning brain but sensible arguments are fine

People that deliberately try to miss your point and make you look stupid are stupid themselves

Idk, I use the forum to sharpen my argument skills. I'd say that I 'constantly' engage in forum arguments (I wouldn't consider them worthless though as they provide entertainment and grounds to improve my formal argument skills) and I'd also be comfortable saying that on a purely quantitative level my brain functions on a higher level than yours.

I think anyone who was a part of/ laughing with the le epic 4chan intrenet warfare xd is an incredible sperglord.

So you're not here to discuss subjects and stuff with other people like a forum is meant to be, but instead you're saying that you're using this forum as a tool to improve your "argument skills" in a way as fighting other people?

Or perhaps did you miss my point?

oh look, you can rate people's IQ through forum posts. how nice.
