Some of the kids were grousing about a recent Rev2 Intermediate tournament and the cutoff point for 'intermediate' is and how it's discouraging to get bopped by experienced players in a lower skill setting.

You're missing out!!!

I hate this phrase. Like okay not all the time -- sometimes you can legitimately miss out on something. A party, a convention, an MMO that died, a super secret limited Movie Screening. But most media isn't so time sensitive and... even if it was?

I hate that I can't even turn the notification off. I hate that, if I google "how to turn off Steam Trading Cards" real, living, breathing motherfuck...
