The more info I see about this dude, the less any of it makes sense.

It's fuckin sandy hook all over again, except this time people actually died. Guess the anti-gun lobby decided they actually needed to one-up the Port Arthur massacre this time. GG Sarah Brady, your people finally did it.
I mean, yeah, no shit the FBI is behind this.

Tell me about the shooter.
Spoiler
Why does he wear the mask?

Also that artstyle makes me want to throw up. It's stylised and animated well but now I know how people feel regarding Warframe.
But Warframe is a shit game though that tried to cash in on the Destiny hype

>cash-in
>free to play
They're making money somehow.

they cant cash in on another game's hype if its free
Just because you aren't paying doesn't mean they aren't making money.

I don't know how much more clear that can be made, and frankly I don't think repeating myself is going to help you figure it out.

they only make money if you're enjoying the game via buying platinum -- something you wouldn't do if you're just waiting for destiny to be released. if you spent money on warframe during that time, i'd say the game transitioned from riding on the rails of destiny to forming its own source of interest within players.

the point i'm trying to make is that warframe, especially in its early days, was so distinctly different from what it is today that it could hardly be called a destiny lookalike. today's game could be, but not 1.0
Buddy, I don't know shit about shit, but people often ask me why I play Destiny when I could just play Warframe.

Alls I sees is two similar games that are both making money, and which you've just told me one changed to emulate the other.

If that's not cashing in, I'm not sure I know what cashing in is.

Yeah, let's politicize the insane.

While we're at it, how about we sacralize the secular?

I'm a fan of Canon.

The T3i is a little older, but it won't break the bank, and is a great camera.

You'll want to buy a new lens, because stock lenses are crap.

Why?
seems pointless
People like personalization.

it baffles me how after years of conversing and observing verbatim people still say stuff like this to him as if their likes make things less pointless to him
If everything is pointless and you have to do something, you might as well do anything.

For a long time in Halo I would never fire my gun and just melee everything to save ammo.

There is literally nothing hypocritical or asinine about it.

You don't need video games, so you shouldn't get them for free.

You need food, so you should get it for free. Not complicated.
Self actualization is the apex of Mazlow's hierarchy of needs, though.
the idea behind the hierarchy of needs is that you can only achieve self-actualization once all the other needs have been fulfilled, starting with basic physiological needs (food clothing shelter) at the very bottom, not because they're the least important, but because they're the most important

but i'm sure you understand that, which makes your response confusing

Yeah I'm pretty tired and just meant it to be smarmy. I concur that video games should not be free; I'm more concerned with the compensation of the creator than the payment of the user, if that makes sense at all.
When it comes down to it though, the vast majority of pirates would sooner go without altogether than pay for what they're downloading.

So, from a material standpoint, the result nets zero.

But is that because they already have the luxury of easy access to that free content? It's easy to say, "I only pirate what I wouldn't buy", but if you removed piracy as a means to get games, how many do you think would fall back to finding deals online, like CD keys, steam, Humble Bundle, etc.? How many do you think would outright just accept paying full price to continue their favorite hobby? Probably a large percentage.
I don't know about that.
The torrenting community is strange, to say the least.

There's almost something lackadaisical to their consumption of media. It's a lot like shopping at the dollar store. Like, "I'm here for whatever's getting seeded today, mainly because I'm bored."

At the end of the day there's an ocean of content that's free by design, and pirates would probably just turn there.

A large number never actually money to spend anyway, so they're not buying anything.

I'm not saying piracy is positive, but it's often altogether benign.

« on: October 02, 2017, 05:18:02 AM »
Probably nothing but if Trump were to take out North Korea now then globalists couldn't use North Korea to start WWIII in the future.
>takes out NK
>ignite a Pacific war
Nah, China isn't ready nor willing to start a war against the US over North Korea.
Who's talking about China?
It wouldn't be a Pacific war then.
It is if Japan and South Korea are involved.

I mainly meant that in reference to China going to war with the US, anyway; and out of curiousity, why would China not be willing to risk intervention in the face of millions of refugees entering the country due to a conflict instigated by the US? Not to say China would immediately retaliate, but I'd say intervening in the conflict would make sense from the Chinese perspective.
It doesn't matter.

People talk frivolously of war, but scarcely of peace.

The ultimate resolution in the Koreas is opening communication and trade between the sovereign pair, and slowly but surely conditions will become better for Northern  citizens.

Unification is a distant dream and an unlikely outcome at this point, the best we can hope for is the reinstatement of trust.

I never spend money on anything no matter how much easier it would make doing things or how much I already have, because I'm more focused on filling my coffers than getting cool loot.

« on: October 02, 2017, 03:45:17 AM »
The Spanish government had declared it illegal beforehand, meaning only the people who want independence will show up. They could have just used that to justify not accepting the results; but no, instead they send in the men in green to confiscate ballot boxes and beat the voters bloody. Regardless of whether Catalonia should or shouldn't gain independence (I'm not really informed enough on that to have an opinion), this just wasn't a good look for Spain and it won't help their case in the slightest.
At that point they're not voters, they're rebel conspirators committing treason.

There's nothing wrong with that often enough (look at the rebellions and revolutions remembered fondly), but the government they oppose is certainly in its right place to take arms against them.

Democracy is not an excuse for rebellion, it just moves the blame from the leaders to the people.

I've read that NK is using old Soviet mobile launchers. Some have decoy missiles on them. If we use nukes on every site, the fallout would effectively kill SK.
