Like if your goal is to get off without really caring what you have to do to manage it, there’s faster and easier ways to go about it that don’t involve being awful to other people. They can be more ethical and more efficient with their smut!
But the goal likely isn’t to get off without really caring what they have to do to manage it. It’s to get off with another person without really caring what they have to do to manage it. And just any person may not do. Cost, looks (in this medium, writing style), personality, etc. are potential qualifications for the other person. Rape would be much less of a thing if all rapists wanted was just an orgasm.

begging people to at least try a single keyword search in the extensive documentation of the thing they’re always asking about

As an extension to this, when giving help please link/direct people to the help documentation rather than/as well as providing the answer.

I bet if we all had a dollar for every situation that could have been resolved by someone taking even the most basic review of a game’s documentation, we’d all be way less financially desperate.

@Roz Why would I do that when someone always answers me tho

Tempted, now, to write some passive-aggressive code snippet that looks for the words ‘how do I’ on a game’s Help or Newbie channel and just pages with “have you tried fuckin’ lookin’ it up, champ?”

Shadowrun Denver has a great thing on the game itself: +document/find. It searches every +help or +policy file on the game, and in the past people have passive aggressively answered questions with ‘+document/find [word]’.
Sure is a shame about the other bits.

Make it even more passive aggressive and have it lock out all other commands until they type the exact command required to answer the question. So everytime they type anything, the game just responds with something like “Have you tried +help +desc yet?”.
-
@MisterBoring Either that or the game just produces the generic “Huh?” ‘I don’t understand’ message until you type it out.

I work somewhere that has the oddest files and search for work policies and forms they want. I stand beside the fact that I can search them and find them the quickest in the company is because of playing on games and looking for help files.
