Gaming / Re: Would the new 3DS be worth getting over the regular 3DS?
« on: December 12, 2014, 04:15:29 PM »
I'm assuming that New 3DS is the DSI 2.0. There are a few games for it, but for the most part it was still mostly DS games that were released in that time period.

I think I also remember Nintendo saying that regular 3DS games wouldn't be improved by the new CPU, but I'm too lazy to find a source for that.

Shit, I just like hanging out with my family, trading gifts, and watching reruns of thirty and forty year old Christmas movies while drinking coffee/hot chocolate.

But all Christmas films are fucking terrible.
Fuck you, I love ACS, Rudolph, and Frosty.

I find the lyricism and vocals to be more prominent in most Punk music.
Lyricism is definitely very important in the Punk genre, but that's why I specified "at a glance". Strictly speaking on how it sounds in general.

Serious / Re: The Meyers-Briggs Personality Test

This time I got INFJ

26% Introverted
7% Intuitive
10% Feeling
14% Judging
43% Turbulent

Strengths:
Spoiler
    Creative - Combining a vivid imagination with a strong sense of compassion, INFJs use their creativity to resolve not technical challenges, but human ones. People with the INFJ personality type enjoy finding the perfect solution for someone they care about, and this strength makes them excellent counselors and advisors.
    Insightful - Seeing through dishonesty and disingenuous motives, INFJs step past manipulation and sales tactics and into a more honest discussion. INFJs see how people and events are connected, and are able to use that insight to get to the heart of the matter.
    Inspiring and Convincing - Speaking in human terms, not technical, INFJs have a fluid, inspirational writing style that appeals to the inner idealist in their audience. INFJs can even be astonishingly good orators, speaking with warmth and passion, if they are proud of what they are speaking for.
    Decisive - Their creativity, insight and inspiration are able to have a real impact on the world, as INFJs are able to follow through on their ideas with conviction, willpower, and the planning necessary to see complex projects through to the end. INFJs donโ€™t just see the way things ought to be, they act on those insights.
    Determined and Passionate - When INFJs come to believe that something is important, they pursue that goal with a conviction and energy that can catch even their friends and loved ones off guard. INFJs will rock the boat if they have to, something not everyone likes to see, but their passion for their chosen cause is an inseparable part of their personality.
    Altruistic - These strengths are used for good. INFJs have strong beliefs and take the actions that they do not because they are trying to advance themselves, but because they are trying to advance an idea that they truly believe will make the world a better place.

Weaknesses:
Spoiler
    Sensitive - When someone challenges or criticizes INFJsโ€™ principles or values, they are likely to receive an alarmingly strong response. People with the INFJ personality type are highly vulnerable to criticism and conflict, and questioning their motives is the quickest way to their bad side.
    Extremely Private - INFJs tend to present themselves as the culmination of an idea. This is partly because they believe in this idea, but also because INFJs are extremely private when it comes to their personal lives, using this image to keep themselves from having to truly open up, even to close friends. Trusting a new friend can be even more challenging for INFJs.
    Perfectionistic - INFJs are all but defined by their pursuit of ideals. While this is a wonderful quality in many ways, an ideal situation is not always possible โ€“ in politics, in business, in romance โ€“ and INFJs too often drop or ignore healthy and productive situations and relationships, always believing there might be a better option down the road.
    Always Need to Have a Cause - INFJs get so caught up in the passion of their pursuits that any of the cumbersome administrative or maintenance work that comes between them and the ideal they see on the horizon is deeply unwelcome. INFJs like to know that they are taking concrete steps towards their goals, and if routine tasks feel like they are getting in the way, or worse yet, there is no goal at all, they will feel restless and disappointed.
    Can Burn Out Easily - Their passion, poor patience for routine maintenance, tendency to present themselves as an ideal, and extreme privacy tend to leave INFJs with few options for letting off steam. People with this personality type are likely to exhaust themselves in short order if they donโ€™t find a way to balance their ideals with the realities of day-to-day living.

I don't really agree with the strengths very well, but the weaknesses seem accurate enough.

this might just be good old me being wrong again

but "pop punk" seems like an oxymoron, doesn't it
Punk's biggest characteristic, besides speed and harsh vocals, is the simple chord progression
EVERY rock band has a simple chord progression with the exception of some Jazz Fusion and Prog Rock.  And not all Punk has simple riffs, so that isn't true either.  Fugazi is punk, but they aren't very simple.
I'm not just saying simple, I mean three chord progressions are almost staple on that side of the music industry. I more mean that it isn't considered insane that, as an example, Green Day only used combinations of three or four chords over the course of an entire album.
That's true for the majority of music outside of Classical, Jazz, and Folk.
"Majority" makes it harder to respond. I can always say that, sans the bar chord/djent subgenres, metal can get pretty complex. At the same time, since you said "majority" and not "all", you're still technically right.

Either way, basic progressions and speed are the most notable things about punk at a glance. The progression is more notable because even if most music uses the same progression, there are other ways to change it up, like stroke patterns, which (again, speed) isn't really as utilized.

How do you not have a single 6th gen console? Did you sell yours at some point or did you somehow never own one?
Had a PS2, traded it in for an Xbox and Halo 2. Then traded that one in for a 360.
Uh huh. Well, I think Battle for Bikini Bottom might be backwards compatible on the 360.
...And then I traded the 360 in for a PS4.
Well, let's cross our fingers and hope that Sony decides to do another PS Classics for the PS4.

Punk's biggest characteristic, besides speed and harsh vocals, is the simple chord progression (because speed is prioritized, complexity his the back-burner). Throw in some clean singing or something more rhythmic in that department and less politically fueled lyrics and you basically have Pop Punk.
I guess I was thinking more culturally

because punk culture is all about, you know, nonconformity
and pop culture is the opposite

so putting them together seems weird to me
The most confusing thing about Pop Punk is actually the fact that it grew from Ramones-core bands in the late 80's being called "pop punk" because apparently they never heard the motherfucking Ramones in their entire lives (up and through that point). Then came bands like Green Day with "Second wave Pop Punk", and then the bands I gave as examples are third wavers, or the "Defend Pop Punk" bands. All because one pop punk band mentioned it in an interview or some shit and everybody jumped all over it.

Point being, Pop Punk isn't called that because it's Pop + Punk, but because people didn't give enough of a shit to listen to the inspiration.

meh

cringey lyrics
It's not my favorite because the lyrics are worth their weight in gold, mostly because I had it in a playlist I used to play during local MX vs ATV matches with friends. Nostalgia is fun.

If they have a vevo channel they're too mainstream for me.
Go back to listening to your Carrie Underwood albums you hoser
I don't own any of her albums... and you're not Canadian enough to call anyone a hoser.
So you only own her singles, vato?

« on: December 10, 2014, 09:09:03 PM »
It's just another port from the DS like DeSu: Overclocked. Not really a "new" game.
Yes, but I still want it though.
the starting price for the 3DS port is $50 from what I've seen.
bleh. $50 3DS games.
I can tolerate a $50 3DS game, I bought SMT IV and PQ afterall. But this is a three year old game, four buy the time the port is released. This should not be a full priced Atlus game.
Can't bring myself to pay $50 for any 3DS games. $40 is the most I'll accept on that platform.
Might end up biting on SMT IV instead of this then. Still haven't got around to it yet.
If you haven't already, I'd look into SMT Nocturne. You get kind of a doubled sense of awe if you play it before IV since it's a direct sequel.

I'd play the DS version, and if you still want it afterwards, wait until the price drops. It's a 3 year old game, and the starting price for the 3DS port is $50 from what I've seen.
