Why the **** did you have to force this christmas crap on me? I don't want it, let me turn it off.
Every ******* year you get this **** cramped down your throat. And now I can't even play MW:o without being bothered with it.

Please say you are kidding... If this is some sort of religious thing let me state as a full blown atheist, lighten up and Merry Christmas.

While he was busy working on the new map, Krazzdaxx found a bit of time to add some holiday cheer to the MechLab, a first for MechWarrior Online!

Listen mate. If you celebrate christmas, I hope you enjoy it.

I do not enjoy it. I want to be left alone with it and not have it pushed on me every corner I turn. But every time I express my anoyance at it someone like you comes along and tells me I should shut up about wanting to be left alone with it.

Have your consumerism fest. Just leave me the **** alone with it. Thats all I ask.

This Xmass stuff has barely anything to do with religion anymore, I don't see jesus or angels around.

Do you think making angry posts about it will change the situation?

No, but venting makes me feel better briefly.

It seems to me that this Christmas clutter slows down the loading process of my Mechbay game assets.

Well he's not wrong in theory. Not everybody celebrates Saturnalia. A toggle to disable the holiday makeover would be a nice touch. Or mod it by replacing some file names, but that takes some know-how.

Or simply ignore the complainers.

Elsewhere in the world, there are wars happening, human misery at it's worst.Yet here you are whining about something someone did for a bit of light hearted fun.
I am speechless.

im not a big fan of any holiday that makes you spend egregious quantities of money on stuff you think other people want, while receiving stuff you don't want. followed by a day of gluttony. one day of gluttony a year is enough i think. fine with thanksgiving being a day of turkey (just the bird, stuffing, and one type of potato please, and no pie, no salads composed out of 90% mayo), beer and football. i wish we could just go back to holidays being a day off work with no baggage attached.

christmas itself doesnt really bother me anymore. almost every major christian holiday is an appropriated pagan holiday. and much of the pagan fluff is part of those celebrations still (no free prostitutes unfortunately). being primarily of scotch irish origin im fine with a holiday that ultimately goes back to my pagan (primarily celtic) roots despite being a total nihilist.

Yeah, and for that matter, why are you playing video games when you could be volunteering at a food pantry!?

I get that a lot of people look forward to christmas because its a time for them to get together with their family or otherwise loved ones and that is perfectly fine. But there are also people out there for whom christmas is a time for profound loneliness because they do not have or are far away from their family.
Its rather short sighted to just shove it into everyones face all the time.

Yep, same. Returning from a match takes a really long time now. I hope this gets fixed

The more appropriate phrase would be happy holidays to be least offensive and covers all bases.

But there are places with evergreens, lights to allow one to see what is around them, and people are always leaving things laying around on the ground. I do not see a Claus, even a sexy Claus nor elves, etc.

No, but come to think of it, if some talented modder wants to make a bacchanal version complete with wine and frolicking nymphs... I have cash!
