The Flood / Re: Seriously, fuck you if you're talking shit about X
« on: June 18, 2018, 10:33:51 PM »
Really fucked up some of yall out there celebrating the death of a 20 year old kid, as if you never did stupid shit when you were young. Mad respect for the guy's artistry, he was super fucking raw and his music was hugely reflective of today's youth.

yeah let's just chalk this up as stupid shit the average person does as a teenager

he was a product of the environment he grew up in. comparing the average teenager to people who grow up in that situation is a pretty ridiculous thing to do. not everyone has your priveleged life.


that's an explanation, not an excuse. a lot like those psychology articles that are like "germans during ww2/soldiers during the my lai massacre/soldiers during any war crime were just following orders"

i'm not trying to excuse him. i'm trying to contextualise the things he did in a way that would enrich your understanding of the situation, and maybe prompt you to have a more nuanced response to his death. this black-and-white worldview you have is pure nonsense.

Quote
just because he came from an underprivileged background doesnt make him a brainless robot that cant decide, "hmm, maybe i SHOULDN'T torture and rape my girlfriends (who, if he had known them for a while, probably came from the same sort of background as him)" among other things

it doesn't make him brainless, no. but you're assuming he has your level (and type) of intelligence. my brother is a very smart kid, but he's not introspective, so he doesn't realise why he's getting mad and how it's altering his actions. same could be said for X.

Quote
plenty of people from his background who wouldnt do that shit. there's a difference between doing drugs and stealing because underprivilige, and asking your girlfriend what kinda fork she'd like shoved up her vagina.

and plenty of people from his background do the exact same shit he did. it's almost like different people have different brains that work differently. who knew.

and yeah, some normal people do fucked up shit all the time. my little brother used to threaten me with a carving knife, but you'd never know that looking at him now. he was lashing out because he didn't have control over a situation and had no idea what to do to regain it.

In MGS3, you can watch a vulture attack a soldier and leave him be. Later, you'll find that vulture. If you kill and eat it, further down the story during the Sorrow boss fight, when you're confronted with the spirits of all the soldiers you've killed thus far, you'll see that vulture you ate and the man he was attacking. The soldier will yell, hauntingly, "You ate me! You ate me!"

Wolf being back is hype. I hope they speed Falco back up, though.

I lost my voice from screaming on discord while watching the Smash reveal. I'm super glad we have literally everyone from every Smash game, and the game itself looks faster than Smash 4 which is a really great thing. I don't really care for Ridley or anything but I guess if people really wanted it it's cool to be here. I'm hoping Snake's alternate costumes are his other outfits from MGS/MGS3/MGS4/MGSV, but that might be asking too much.

I can't help it if Nintendo claps cheeks every year.

Did they announce fortnite for switch?

Yeah, but that doesn't really impact my perception of the conference, as I already own and play the game on PC.

I forgot to mention that that Daemon game looked dope as fuck and was an excellent opening for this Direct.

One more cool announcement and I would have bumped this up to a 5/5.

I was looking forward to MGS ports, which probably would have bumped it to 5/5 for me.

What's wrong with people being excited and speculating about the game? It's good for business and creating hype around the product. Having unrealistic expectations is your own fault, not the developer's.

We know it's good for business

we're not talking about sales, we're talking about game quality

i don't really get why you're fighting me on this, i don't think it's that controversial a thought
I'm not fighting you dude lmao I just think there's nothing wrong with a CGI trailer if it's all they can show at the time and the game isn't presentable yet.

i didn't say there was anything wrong with it. there's just nothing right about it either, so i don't care for it.

Nintendo - 4/5

Excellent format, game after game after game. Just glourious. Snake being back in Smash is hype as fuck. Fighterz on Switch is dope.

I thought the Queen's brother died in TTK?
ever since then they've alluded to him being alive, just crashed on mars. his ship even showed up in warmind

Warmind is the Rasputin DLC?

Why are we not playing together on PC :weary:
yeah, it's the newest one about Rasputin

wish i could play on pc but i dont wanna spend even more money on this franchise than i need to

yeah it is a little ridiculous you need to spend like 200 bucks to play forsaken

we're getting destiny 3 on pc together though (granted forsaken is a step in the right direction and everything sort of follows that path from then on)
