Yeah, I definitely have some issues...

edit: "GOG Bear's" name is Theodore Fourofourski.

MeowCanuck: I was on mobile at the time. And everything I listed was Googleable.
You realise that if I had used search engine then I wouldn't have asked here on forums? Right?

Using search engine on ANSWERS would be quite ridiculous indeed. Or what's the point of such cryptic "answer" that I would have to do research on? You are funny but you have some really peculiar sense of humour.
You really want to get into a battle of nitpicking and straw grasping with me?

That shows a lack of research and poor execution on your part. When I type in "GOG mascot" into Google, the first results I get are GOG-chan on Twitter and even another GOG topic exactly on this topic. Clearly, by making another repeated topic about this and wasting everyone's time, it shows how you put very little thought into such a simple task.

Please explain to me how my answer is "cryptic" and how my answer was trolling. Each mascot was briefly described with when they are used. The reason why you got so many troll and joke answers was because I already answered it correctly the first time and people just wanted to shitpost afterwards since my answer was already comprehensive enough. Not only that, nowhere in your OP did you request for links for these mascots. Not only that, but I almost never troll on these forums if you've even been noticing my posts in the past six months.

Now by marking a joke post as the answer (that isn't even true), other people are going to come across this thread and be misled if they're not going to be bothered to read through the entire thread for clarifying responses. Thus, in essence, you've misused the question function and therefore are contributing to its abuse. If you're so entitled that you expect answers to be spoonfed to you, it's your responsibility to ask clarifying questions so you fully understand an answer instead of erroneously dismissing things. Conclusively, showing multiple failures on your part to even judge what is a good answer, who is trolling or not, and your general common sense.

Not really. While you attempt to nitpick I make reasonable arguments. I don't know what you are trying to do but I wouldn't call it a battle.

Yes, of course. I must admit that trying to engage with actual humans on this forum rather than feeding greedy, spying, biased and inaccurate search engine is really poor execution. What can I say? I'm not that rich and I enjoy communicating with fellow plebs (sometimes). And yes, that includes you.

Clearly, by making another repeated topic about this and wasting everyone's time, it shows how you put very little thought into such a simple task.
Wait, are you accusing me of wasting other people's'z time? Or putting little thought into my post. That's ironic.
This might surprise you but if I didn't know anything about the mascot then I clearly didn't know anything about the previous thread. If that makes any sense to you since you seem to know everything. But believe me if I say that there are people (like me) who doesn't know everything.

Please explain to me how my answer is "cryptic" and how my answer was trolling.
I didn't say that your post WAS trolling, I said that I THOUGHT it was. That's different. Last I checked everyone still had the right for their own thoughts and opinions without having to explain themselves to anyone. But just maybe your post might have looked unhelpful and uninformative for the uninitiated. And as you said yourself, if you would have written something like "just google it" would have been more practical than what you originally wrote. You try to make it into big deal now and like I would be the one with poor execution. Really?

Each mascot was briefly described with when they are used. The reason why you got so many troll and joke answers was because I already answered it correctly the first time and people just wanted to shitpost afterwards since my answer was already comprehensive enough.
IF your post would have been comprehensive then I would have surely marked your answer right away and there wouldn't have been any further posts.

Not only that, nowhere in your OP did you request for links for these mascots. Not only that, but I almost never troll on these forums if you've even been noticing my posts in the past six months.
Oh, I have noticed you. You are absolutely correct when you say that I never requested links. It's you who thought that search engines and links would have been great idea but at the same time never provided them. While some people might think of it as cognitive dissonance I personally think of it as another case of your quirky sense of homour.

Now by marking a joke post as the answer (that isn't even true), other people are going to come across this thread and be misled if they're not going to be bothered to read through the entire thread for clarifying responses.
Actually you have proven with your line of dialogue that the "joke post" was spot on and accurate and by continuing with your chosen direction you are only driving the point home even further.

Thus, in essence, you've misused the question function and therefore are contributing to its abuse.
I'm glad that it's not you who make such judgements around here. I had a question and I asked it publicly clearly marking it as such. If anyone was abusing or misusing the system it must have been someone with their unhelpful reply. Or someone who likes to have nitpicking fights with random strangers. Anyway, if you like to make baseless accusations then maybe this thread is for you:

If you're so entitled that you expect answers to be spoonfed to you, it's your responsibility to ask clarifying questions so you fully understand an answer instead of erroneously dismissing things.
If someone asks a question then it's only natural to presume that they lack information on the topic or they wouldn't be asking in the first place. And that the person who tries to answer would have not only knowledge on the topic but capability to express that information in clear and understandable manner. Obviously you can post whatever answers YOU like but don't be surprised if you are ignored. Afterall, people mark answers THEY like.

Conclusively, showing multiple failures on your part to even judge what is a good answer, who is trolling or not, and your general common sense.
I'm glad that while it took some time you eventually came to the right conclusion. Then again, I already knew that when I was writing the first post in this thread.
