    New question...

    Why is Jadakiss as hard as it gets?

    I feel it is because instead of riding the beat, he parallel parks on the track

    Also the MMO legend part (it's in my twitter profile) was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek

    Ray: Yeah that's kind of the conclusion that I was coming to. It's not so much the elitist mindset that people dislike, it's just the attitude. If it weren't for elitists, we'd never feel the push to test our limits.

    im with you monkeys on this one. the term elitist seems to carry the stigma that they dont interact, respect, fuck boys that they feel are "below" them.

    hi ryko, i did not know you in final fantasy eleven and i did not really consort with you on final fantasy eleven topics on these here interbutts. i do not think you are an elitist. i think you are someone that enjoys success and is not afraid to work hard to achieve it. you seem very grounded in other aspects such as being black and also being broke. you did once describe yourself as an MMO legend which i thought was cute and i like to bring it up every once in a while. I think that maybe your addictive personality might make people think you are elitist, i mean who the fuck else plays that much borderlands 2 and then goes around tearing one of the characters to shit. I dont think that is your elitism, i just think it is the natural depth you reach with most things you are interested in.

    hold any doors open at shake shack lately?
    They couldn't come out and say that straight?

    I think more to the point, the word "elitist" is often used with a negative connotation. This was the case long before collecting shinies on the internet was ever a thing. What people take offense to, and therefor liberally use the term because of, is that players who do want to test their limits only test their limits with others who are elite. It is a matter of respecting your time and the time of others. It is a matter of wanting to do a certain activity as quickly and efficiently as possible because time is valuable, even when that time is being spent in an environment that can best be described as "wasted".

    You can release step by step guides and be as helpful as you want, but you'll never overcome the stigma that because you "have" you are elitist and the have-nots are somehow more legitimate gamers or just don't have enough time to dedicate to an event as you. (This is by far my favorite dismissal because the people I play with now are only on for 3 hours a day as a group)

    I only agree with elitism in cases of certain persons or members of certain classes or groups deserve favored treatment by virtue of their perceived superiority, as in intellect, social status, or financial resources

    Well, you were Kind Of A Big Deal on Gamefaqs for being a melee wizard, black, and significantly more able to hold your shit better than Naygor.

    I still remember Beckwin's QQ storm for being booted from TG. God you're such an elitist prick.
