i can never make it past the first two lines of any of your threads

I can read the whole thing but most of it gets lost in translation for me.

Fuckin' Desty doesn't even speak english as his native language and writes in shortcuts and I can make more sense of his stuff than monsieur Loaf's.

Not a clue, frankly.

Figured out how to use the fingers on my useless arm without straining the thing too much so that I can actually move it and use it a little bit. I still can't do any heavy lifting with it or move it around, but, hey, I can hold a coffee cup so that's a start.

I figured out how to move my fingers carefully without agitating my currently useless arm and can now enjoy me video gams.

Try to not mind the butchery of the English language. I got this off of a page run by spiks


3 weapons you'll probably never unlock due to the abominable rng gods.

A completely bugged and broken collection of the previous Halo games that they haven't fixed and basically dropped all support of.

Blue Team's first appearance in any Halo. One intro mission and two missions consisting of walking circles.

A gametype that's been native to basically every Halo at launch except for 4 and 5.

A character being slapped in at the last minute during game development, leaving him feeling out of place.

A poorly done Retcon: The Movie.

Didact being brought back for no reason after suppossedly being killed and put into a form of media that largely goes irrelevant to the games. To be killed again. But only "contained" so you know you'll see him some more later.

A gametype that's come waaaaaay too fucking late in the game's lifetime and once again, has been featured as a default mode in previous Halos.

So all that leaves is Arby, Halo Wars 2, Canned Spartan ops, the campaigns, and good concept art?

The Sangheilios missions were honest to god the best part of Halo 5 and Arby wasn't ruined as a character, thank god.

Halo Wars 2 is a long way off. Too early to put any kind of hope on it.

Canned Spartan Ops, in theory, could have been good if it was done well, so give or take it's either a loss or not.

You can play all the campaigns if you still have the originals, of which arguably probably play better since the Xbone is a malfunctioning piece of slag half the time.

And.....good concept art?

This is more like, "343 listens to fans and then butchers everything you previously loved" starter pack.

A john deer tractor,a plow, and all the gas cans and oil cans I could fit in there.

It's a one way trip which means I'll die.

But every time Nasa or some astronomer looks at mars, they'll forever see my elegant graffiti scrawled into the dirt and filled with timeless rocks that not even the sand could wear down.

The good Halo games don't have the M392 DMR in them
Fixed
Doesn't matter what the fuck its called. It's still the most broken and most bullshit gun to be introduced in Halo.

It should have never existed.
I'm glad you agree Reach is the only shit Halo.
Every Halo after 3 is basura. That's why I said the good Halo games don't have the DMR in them so stop getting all technical with the names you fucking nerd. It's the same gun no matter what.

As Kant said

Machines and humans can never be the same

We must remember that any emotion that machines display come from algorithms and code, not inherent qualities

So.

How about dem pre programed reactions and emotions in people.

Emotions can be predicted and manipulated

Like if I pushed you, you would most likely get mad

But that doesn't mean that it was preprogrammed into you to respond with anger with certain conditions are met

It does matey. It's hardwired into us. Flight or fight? It's an automatic reaction. All of our responses based off emotions and stimulation of nerves are automatic.

But if you're hungry, you can make the decision to not eat

Can a machine do that?

If it had the capability to modify itself beyond it's original programming?

Yes. But not yet, currently.

That's all humans are. Pre programmed organic routines and responses with the occasional ability to alter that base set of functions by choice.

Likewise, an intelligent machine could do it if it were capable of learning and changing its function beyond the basic set of automated routines it was programmed to start with.

Exactly like a human. Somebody could be born with and raised with a predisposition to a very quick temper. But, through their own reasoning and choice, they could choose to keep it under control.

But, robotics haven't reached that stage yet. But if they keep up the way they're going now, eventually, we'll see something.

Why should knowledge have an imaginary, meaningless, and completely fictitious price put on it?
Supply and demand; it's how efficient markets function. The degree to which other people value the skills you're willing to trade is the only real measure of value we can ascertain. It's all about revealed preferences, after all.

Supply and demand doesn't need a physically meaningless number value that's relative to what we assign it.

If there was a TV sitting in a shop right now, and it didn't cost any money for me to go in there and bring it back home with me, you can bet that I'd look for the swankiest fucking TV I could get my hands on. You can bet that other people, would look for the best TV they could get their hands on.

So at that point, there's your demand. How do fulfill the supply aspect then? If everybody has access to basically free shit, then who would want to work, apart from people who enjoyed their job?

The same reason people work now. They've got that carrot dangling over them that allows them access to the things they want. All you have to do is shift the carrot. Rather than work for that value that lets you access the things you want, you work for the system that allows you access to the things you want.

At that point everything still functions as it does now, with a few exceptions. Consumption rate goes up then, since more people have access to things they want, which, would create more demand, wouldn't it?

No morals or buzzwords eh? Gee, you're really trying to phase out reasonable arguments there aren't ya?

Well, I'll be honest. You got me there. Without appealing to morals or writing up something lest I be called your new favorite buzzword, I can't come up with a reasonable answer.

But I can ask you a question.

Why should knowledge have an imaginary, meaningless, and completely fictitious price put on it?

Also, no moral arguments please. We're looking at it in cold logic here. Knowledge and the capability of being able to perform something physical and tangible with said knowledge. Essentially being hidden behind an imaginary number wall that has no real meaning or value.

Think of it as the number 0 standing in the way of the number 1. Now, why should that be allowed to exist?

Think carefully now, lest I call you my favorite buzzword, a capitalist shill.

« on: February 25, 2016, 11:52:51 AM »
Looks too much like Dark Souls 2. Too much grey and character looks as light as a feather.

Nothing will ever recapture the magic of Dark Souls.
...It looks nothing like Dark Souls 2. If anything it looks more like Bloodborne.

Character is also light because his weight.
What are you talking about it looks just like Dark Souls 2 with the lack of color and paper character models. Even if you were light in Dark Souls your character still had that weight to him.

Just doesn't look good.

Roll with it chally. Paper weight character?

That means it's time to dress naked and fuck people up with speed roll zweihander.

The Flood / Re: Ever come up with your own methods to do math?
« on: February 25, 2016, 11:35:11 AM »
Oh shit, wait, I did do something neat. I had a lot of trouble with memorizing my multiplication tables as a kid. So, I had an idea one day. I had this catchy song stuck in my head. I didn't even like it. But it gave me the idea about making something stick in my head.

I started singing my multiplication tables in little tunes, and I'd practice it every day after school. And damn did that ever work.

I can still hear the tune and remember the numbers even now.

« on: February 25, 2016, 11:28:17 AM »
Yeah. I had a teacher like that. Was really strict in the method. But his methods were really poor. So I'd go home with homework I didn't know what the fuck to do with. My mother showed me alternative methods for figuring things out that actually made sense to me.

But when I ended up using those methods in school, good ole' teach marked them wrong because I wasn't using the established formula.

I was never good with math to begin with, so I never really came up with stuff on my own. But boy oh boy did those grades plummet when I was forced to use the stuff being taught rather than the alternatives I could have used.

If you don't feel up to talking about that whole deal then I'll cut to the chase. I'd be willing to lend a hand if you need it. If you've got a bank account and something on paypal I'll help as much as I can.

I can't do anything right now, but when I get less expenses hitting me in march I'll have a little more breathing room with my money. I can't give much, not enough to cover for anything grand, but if you need food money or anything I could help.
Oh man, I appreciate that but I really don't need it.

You're living in your car and you don't have anywhere to live but said car. And no job either. Bank accounts don't last forever. I'm not saying I could full on fund you. But I could try and help. With money, dude, don't wait until you need it. Never let it get that far.

You got any plans for fixing your current issue?

It costs like a dollar a day ao yeah.

Having a working phone is possibly the highest priority.

If you can't communicate with others, then you're truly 100% fucked.

You got anybody helping you out on your end of things?
Not really.

My dad does nice things every now and again, but its hit or miss with him.

One day he might put me up in a hotel with points he's earned through frequent stays, and the very next he might tell me to stay away from him and his family.

I don't really feel like I need it though.

Mind if I ask why you're living in your car though?

You dumb fucks this is canadian law we're dealing with here.

Not a chance that a minor in possession of cp would get a harsh sentance. For real here. Canadian courts are 98% of the time really, really fucking soft.

You know what happened to my father when he got drunk, beat up up my mother and smashed her jaw up until it was broken?

He got a 150 dollar fine. That was it. I'm telling you folks.

The sentance ain't gonna be harsh.

« on: February 24, 2016, 10:39:35 PM »
Question.

Did anybody notice the colour shift in the update? It seems like they turned up or down the saturation on the colours. I noticed it right away because my emblem was originally coloured eye rape level shades of bright colour but since the update hit the colour seems washed out.

And I notice that the full colour black now exists as well.

Also red team looks fucking horrible because all the white marks on them was replaced with pink when standing in any kind of lighting.

It's a small nitpick. But it was off putting. Like walking into a room where somebody shifted every object five feet out of place.

I have a question for you, Flee. What about gun rights for people who live somewhere like Alaska or somewhere else that has lots of dangerous animals and times when people need to hunt for themselves?

I'm not flee but I can say two things.

1. The dangerous critters argument is a really poor one.

2. Bows and crossbows. Actually there's a lot of people up here who still hunt with bows rather than firearms.
