>Privacy is irrelevant
>Why the fuck would I tell you somebody's personal information, that's private, fuck off

t. Verdo

Just because I'm rational, and choose not to care about my privacy, doesn't mean that others have to feel the same way as I do. And I have to respect that.

In a perfect world, I would be able to divulge anyone's personal information, and it wouldn't be a problem--but since people are irrational, I am morally obligated to respect their wishes. It's that simple.

I am under NO obligation, however, to care about my OWN privacy.
So I don't, because I realize that it's a worthless right. There's no point in keeping secrets.

Fucking idiot.

I'll interject a moment and say that even you keep secrets.

Literally couldn't care less.

Except if they shut down Emo Kylo Ren's account.

Then, it'll get personal.

I just remembered something.

Going with Verb's particular philospies and that they tend to translate over into gameplay in some regards, I wanna see what he chooses at the end of the game.

"Dodge this."

"Okay."

Isn't Tom Bombadil supposed to be like plot device: the character?

No, he's Proffessor Overpowered: The Character.

Tom could mop the floor with superman.

Man is your country gonna get shaken up if Trump gets in. I guess Canada might have an influx of refugees akin to the draft dodgers in the 60's.

I like splattering people as I turn my tank cannon.

I actually don't mind the vehicle physics in this game. Like, every other game after CE, splattering somebody, anybody, or trying to, was rage inducing.

I fucking hated plowing through people in Halo 3 with the chopper and merely scratching them or just outright phasing through people with a ghost and dragging them with me so they could highjack me. Now I can actually run people over which satisfies me.

Remember when the Mongoose was flat out impossible to get a kill with, without the assistance of a few Fusion Coils/Plasma Batteries?

Yee. Now it still kind of is. If you're not on a flat surface going at full speed you'll just graze people and bounce off them. You've got better chances if they're running into you rather than away from them.

But then again I'm not a dumb pilot. I'm the asshole in the gungoose doing artilery volleys from the bottom of safe obstructing hills into the enemy base.

Or getting dozens of pineapple express medals as I sit in the passenger and chuck nades on base defense.

Dark Souls is a fitting sort of series for bleak endings, and this game really seems to set the tone that everything is finished, barely hanging on, and you're the arbiter of finally ending it all.

Arbiter is a Halo character you fucking imbecile.

Arbiter was a word before he was a halo character

OT:
I like the theme of ashes in DS. I almost always make an iteration of a character I call Arren, the Ashen man.
Now I can inhabit that role in a more literal sense.
I hope Fromsoft brings back the character arcs from the first game (you know, the good ones).

The trailer mentions that the lords of cinder will abandon their thrones if shown the truth. I'm assuming that their souls kind of stay inside of you along for the ride after you kill their mortal frames.

What if From pulls a feels trip out of nowhere?

Say, as the game is ending and you're faced with finally ending it all, being the sole bearer of all that weight, the souls you carry or the souls of the deceased join you for the last moments.

If there were good characters in the game it'd be a bit of a ride to have them come join you for the end.

I wouldn't be putting effort into anything if I felt like it meant nothing.

I might not see anything much in the way of meaningful fullfillment for myself, but that doesn't mean that I can't see it for other people. Or at the very least, do what I'm able to manage to make an effort on their behalf.

Well each time I try I keep on getting proved wrong at everything and I have nothing to back it up.

Proved wrong how? Give some context here.

Okay. Let's just take Sep7agon as an example since I'm on here right now. I'm trying to change myself for the better in terms to redeem myself after Star Wars Episode 7 spoilers. Now I know people would be skeptical, but one thing that makes it hard is when people tell me that I am wrong and I'm going to crack again, and I've been trying really hard not to give them what they want so far, I keep getting told that the cycle is just gonna repeat and that I'm going to lose, and the moment I try to counter argue and defend my side of things, I either get a slap on the wrist by the staff or I have people continue giving me the same shit saying that I'm wrong and I'm gonna crack up and go full retard again. "Oh sure Deci, of course you'll change. Right, you said that for like the 10th million time now, but you're still wrong"

This wasn't the best example, but its much worse in other situations regarding the issue, my problem is I have no real way to counter argue, hence I lose by default, and that in return makes me feel like a failure. I haven't won one argument in my life about anything, I have always been in the wrong and I've been told throughout my life that I am wrong and never right about anything, even at the age of 6.

And say when I am right about something, and it somehow bites people in the ass later, I get berated for it. At least that's how it was in the late 90s for me.

Did this make sense?

Yes and no. Sep7agon is a poor example because it doesn't matter. Any discourse you have on the internet doesn't mean fuck all unless it gets really physically personal to the point that somebody's life is affected, like some creep stalking somebody on their facebook or something and getting them fired over some comments made.

Or vice versa. Somebody affects your life positively. An argument and banter means nothing.

I was asking about a meaningful example. Something grounded in real life and not attached to the computer screen.

Okay, I wasn't going to bring a family member into this, but since it recently happened and I argued and lost that argument, by getting interrupted constantly, losing my train of thought, here is how it all went down.

My brother-in-law and I started talking about accents. His argument is that everyone from California speaks the English language correctly and the way everyone else speaks it, even the Brits, is completely wrong. I told him you can't just jump to that conclusion because this isn't about proper grammar anymore, its about accents of one language and it varies, I tired telling him what constitutes that the way Californians speak is 100% the right way meaning everyone else is wrong. My point is that no one is wrong or right and its how they are raised, but he kept sticking to his point repeating what he already said, and I'm wrong if I think otherwise.

And that's fucking stupid because there is no right or wrong with accents, its how you were born and raised, and telling someone that they are wrong for speaking British English if they are born and raised there is fucking insulting and insensitive.

So yeah, I didn't win this argument at all tonight.

Does this count? This happened in real life, in the fucking living room, about 4 hours ago.

Well you know otherwise don't you? You know enough about accents and how they work to have a decent enough grasp to understand that they're trivial and there's no right accent to have. You just have it.

So you haven't been proven wrong whatsoever. There's only so far anybody can feasibly say something and prove that something is right. Then, it's up to the second party to take their head out of their fucking ass and listen.

Take Dinosaurs and some instances of Christians. You could present them with all the evidence we have about dinosaurs and explain to them that they didn't walk the earth with humans, they actually existed so many billions of years ago, and so on.

And they won't listen. At that point, you actually have no options left to take to get your point across.

But that isn't the main point here. Just a part of it. You know where you stand and you know what you know. Past that, there's nothing else you can really do.

Life is full of fuckwits that will tell you you're wrong no matter how hard you try. No matter how good you are. There will always be somebody at your back saying that you're wrong. Think about it. Take any person on the planet, especially somebody of note who's well known or famous, and sure as shit, there will be a crowd of people opposed to them.

Whether or not they're actually wrong is irrelevant. What matters is that you can't get away from people trying to dump their perspective down your throat not matter how well your play yourself off as. Hell, you take the respectful road and keep it civil? You're a goody two shoes. Get upset? You're an overreacting asshole.

You can't win. You can't please everybody.

And so that leaves only one option. Trust in yourself. You know what you know, based off facts and your particular understanding of certain subjects you're versed in. You like what you like, because that's you. You do what you do, because that's you.

The people who agree or like you for it are welcome additions. The people who don't? They're not relevant. Brush them aside and continue on. Just remember though. Don't let your own head get stuck up your ass. It's a balancing act. Sometimes it pays to listen to people and realize that you don't know everything. Nothing wrong with not knowing something.

A rule of thumb with me is never to engage in discussion around contraversy in public with people unless I am directly asked for my opinion. Even family or friends. If they want to know what I'm thinking then they can ask me. Otherwise, I let them talk amongst themselves.

The only time I ever bother getting into an argument is if something is getting too heavy and the respective parties are missing a detail. But even then, I don't pursue it. Arguing with walls who don't want to listen is a pointless endevour and a waste of my time.

So in some way, you're right, if only to a degree. Arguing with people who just want to be argumentative for the sake of it is a waste of time. And so, all you have to do is not bother. Don't play the stupid games that people play. I know I don't.

Complete with only the minor side effect of death™

because tylenol is well-known for its high death toll

it's easy to get dependent on that shit and then destroy your liver

I avoid pain pills for that exact reason

You nailed it slick. That's the same reason why I avoid painkillers unless I absolutely have to. Although tylenol doesn't come with heaping side effects of death, it does come with the corrosion of your stomach lining.

That's why they tell you to eat something usually before you take stuff like tylenol. The food helps limit the damage to your stomach.

The real irony about most medicines these days, is that their side effects can actually cause the shit you're trying to avoid. My mother recently got put on blood pressure pills to reduce her blood pressure. Long story short, she got a bad reaction to the pills.

Which damaged something in her, which in turn rose her blood pressure.

GO FUCKING FIGURE.

Same story with my sister. The meds she was given to treat her eyes actually worsened her eyes and are what made her go blind.

So, sorry Verb, I don't really buy into conventional medicine that much. Even the tame shit like tylenol.

A whole lot of nothing happening. Like, absolute boring. If boring was a physical object, it'd be the center of a black hole.

Since gravity warps space time, and a black hole is so fucked, in theory, time ends inside of a black hole.

But I'll get inventive charlie.

Cats. Fucking cats. Everywhere.
