Paypal is the most Parasitic creature on the internet
So when you give money to Western Union for a money order it's legally theirs and they could keep it instead of sending it to the person to whom you are sending it? Bullshit. And in order to have monetary balances that you can send to yourself or anybody else that isn't Paypal, Paypal is subject to banking laws. Period. That's why all the games that have in-game currency never let you exchange it back for your own money: they'd be subject to the extremely complicated banking regulations and they don't want to have to have lawyers on staff to manage it. That's a good thing, by the way. Buying and selling unregulated in-game currencies is a great way to launder money and scam people. And by the way, do you think the feds have no right to ensure Paypal can't be used to launder money? Hell no! Paypal has to keep detailed transaction histories available for investigation.
The defining feature of a bank isn't complicated. A bank is an entity which keeps money for you and lets you get it back out. The details of what they do with that money, what incentives you have to store it there at all, or how easy they make it to send your money to other people don't change whether it is or is not a bank.
As for what happened on your end, it sounds like there's probably something really weird happening. The bank is just telling you what they saw happen. Paypal is speculating why it isn't their fault. They're lying arrogant assholes and they're lazy and incompetent too. But that still doesn't explain why the transfer won't go through.

I kinda forgot about this. It's been so long since we had a vote and all. Anyway I agree with TangledLion and I vote Nay.

[Done] The Great RMN Migration
Congratulations Anklyo on a successful migration! I know these things can easily go wrong but thanks to your planning and execution there seem to have been no problems. At least no problems that took too long to fix ;)
Incidentally, CDT? Are there many of us in that time zone?

Paypal is notorious for freezing peoples' money for idiotic reasons or no given reasons at all. Obviously it can't happen ALL the time or else there'd be no reason to use Paypal. And in this case, they relented because it was the "stupid reasons" version combined with public outcry. But it's not a good place to have a lot of money.

What are you thinking about? (game development edition)
Skimming your post Max, but don't feel too old. I've been involved with RPG Maker for the last 12 years myself. Even when I started though, there were people around the community older than we are now. The only reason to be ashamed is if your 15 years of RPG Making haven't resulted in anything worth sharing.
...I feel like my 12 years has resulted in far too little. I need to make something. I want it to be my dream project but the scope for it has settled with too many art assets for me to finish any time soon and I'm afraid of botching it anyway. I think I need to "level up by making lots of shitty games first" but do I have the time for that? Am I even capable of having simple throwaway ideas I could work with? Somebody help I don't know what I'm doing and what scares me most is realizing that I never have.

What does your writing style say about your personality?
Watson thinks I don't care about art. I think. The problem with this thing is that Watson spits out vague traits that only Watson understands, and it is humans that named those traits and decided how they are described in the summary.
Anyway the rest of it was pretty accurate, at least for the story I gave it, but because of the art thing now I'm offended.
