So my Shoes got Stolen yesterday

I've been keeping my shoes in the hallway of my apartment complex, in order to not track in snow. I've been doing this for three years now. Two years at another small complex, in which many other people did the same. I'll also leave my shoes outside in the hallway when I visit friends' apartments. Here no one does it. I guess I see why.
Some bastard took my shoooooooooes.

At first, I thought it might be my shoe prankster. You see, two weeks prior, someone locked the laces together with this big ass key lock. It forced me to actually untie my shoes to put them on, but I chuckled at this little joke. So at first, I assumed someone took them and just hid them. But to no avail, I could not find them anywhere.
And I'm still not completely sure what the deal is. I mean, I could see the $50 new balance shoes. They looked sexy and where quite comfortable. But why take the 10 year old nike's that were incredibly ratty? They were all but falling apart.
And what can you do with old shoes anyways? Sell them for a few dollars? What?

If I didn't have a 3rd pair stashed in my room, I would have had to call into work on the account of no shoes. ;o

Relatively ancient and inactive

It's a bad-crime spree! HIDE YOUR CRAPPY STUFF.

Also, why were your shoes ten years old?



None.

So, he took 2 pairs of shoes? Weird. Hey. They were only New Balances. :P

My shoes > your shoes. Asics ftw.

;o

Because I had a pair for when I was just going outside to take out the trash or if I was working on the car or whatever.
Why not keep older shoes? ;o

... and I didn't even pay for them to begin with. gf ftw.
But still, those NB shoes where the only ones I actually liked at the store. All the adidas and nike were all gayed out.

I have a pair that are just over 14 months that are basically so worn that I can't use them. The cushioning is falling out.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
[2026-6-19. : 9:57 am]
Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
[2026-6-19. : 9:57 am]
Oh_Man -- artosis dropped pretty interesting vid: https://youtu.be/EqZHB8Blra4
