luci actually recommended me spice & wolf a long time ago but i never bothered

also ossku recommended me psycho-pass even further back, but i also never bothered

i don't know how people commit to watching shows these days--i just don't get it

how do you have the time
It takes me ages to watch anything these days

It's kinda like watching TV really, you just stick an episode on when you feel like watching it and work your way through a series.

I'd double recommend psycho-pass though

As much as I hate to say this, Islam IS the problem. Not in what is written (though there are some passages that raise eyebrows) but in how it's been interpreted from the start. Some follow strictly Mohammed. Others some family member (Sunni/Shia.) that alone has been enough for wholesale slaughter. While yes, Christianity has had its share, the conflict has been nowhere near what it's been in the ME.

I know that 99.999999% of the people just want to live their lives. The problem is that they also don't want to stand up for any peace in their lives either. This is weird coming from me, an atheist, but one massive thing Christianity has over Islam is that the ONLY way to heaven in Christianity is by having faith in Jesus. In Islam there are many other ways, including martyrdom. Dying for Allah is enough. It always has been. Erase your sins by dying in some spectacular manner.

I have no idea how this could be fixed. More war and killing isn't the answer. Spreading secularism also isn't, simply because we aren't willing to put up with the attacks from the fundamentalists until it takes root. It's a tough one.

Terraform Mars, let the Muslims name it and ship it there? I dunno
Dude why do your solutions always make the problem 10 million times worse?

Islam is a problem so let's give them a planet all to themselves so they can fucking invade us and start an interplanetary crusade?

That's easy. We eliminate the Martian sandworms before they get there.

But seriously, I have no solution. The only real one is to plant the seeds of secularism and put up with the attacks until they take root. Islam has some serious problems before it can be incorporated into world culture. Shit, colonialism was better than this
tbh if we could turn the kebabs into fremen, the universe would be a much better place

but for that to happen you'd need zen buddhism and sunni islam to make some weird bastard child
and like that's ever gonna happen

Perhaps we should just expand our memetic perspectives a bit. All of this navy seal posting is really starting to get to me. My mom even came into my room to bring me a plate of chicken nuggets and I literally screamed at her and hit the plate of chicken nuggets out of her hand. She started yelling and swearing at me and I slammed the door on her. I'm so distressed right now I don't know what to do. I didn't mean to do that to my mom but I'm literally in shock from the results tonight. I feel like I'm going to explode. Why the fucking fuck is he losing? This can't be happening. I'm having a fucking breakdown. I don't want to believe the world is so corrupt. I want a future to believe in. I want Bernie to be president and fix this broken country. I cannot fucking deal with this right now. It wasn't supposed to be like this, I thought he was polling well for California???? This is so fucked.

http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17470919.2016.1188851

Found the two studies I was thinking of

Study 1
Provides an overview of what ASMR is and what people experience it from/through, it also looks at rates of synaethesia in conjunction with ASMR-experiencing people and I think the rate was significiantly higher than general population

Study 2
This one is an FMRI thingummyjig that looks at what parts of the brain are activated during ASMR and what the neurological differences are between people who do and don't experience it.

i don't have ASMR but i think it's funny when people try to convince me it's not a sexual thing

it's totally a sexual thing
(a bit like computerised CBT)

They have computerized cock and ball torture?

If I remember it right, the current best-scientific-guess with the root of asmr is as an evolutionary leftover from grooming in monkey-men.

'Close' proximity, pseudo-touch (a bit like mirror boxes and out of body VR experiments) and the soothing voice aspect is a sort of mimicry of proto-humans/current higher apes and how they groom each other within the troop.

So you could argue that it is, and there would appear to be enough lewd asmr to indicate that it certainly is for a lot of people, but there is definitely a 'platonic' (couldn't think of a more fitting word) aspect more akin to parent-child bonding, to use a modern parallel because you probably don't just start checking the guy on the bus next to you for fleas and mites.

It's a fairly interesting phenomenon either way and if I ever have to go into psychology research I'm fairly sure I'd look at something like clinical applications of ASMR (a bit like computerised CBT) because a lot of people swear blind that it helps them with their insomnia/anxiety/depression and the like.

I do know of a few studies currently investigating it too but the names elude me.

Either way, it's not a purely sexual thing but there is an aspect of that to it.

I'm going in and listening to this, first thing I hear is mention of white privilege.

"Publicly funded white privilege, is that how you'd describe the royal family?"

Oh it's actually about some republican who yelled at the three year old prince and they discuss that.
roundheads ought to be rounded up and hung from tower bridge like the good old days

There is nothing wrong with the idea of a Dictatorship.
Power does not corrupt, it simply attracts the corruptible.

A power-vacuum on the other hand, it usually ends in a bloodbath like syria or lybia.

Gats on the raptor we tamed tonight

So primitive plus has been delayed courtesy of QA on the Xbone, which means it'll probably be a week or two at best before that's out.


1311
I've done the first live-test of the server and it works!

So currently it's just a matter of waiting for the primitive plus patch to release, hopefully in the next few hours and then the server will be going live.

I've removed most of the more acerbic posts/moderation chat ones from this thread, I've left a couple intact so that Earning's objection is still present and not swept under the rug. However moving forwards with the thread it would be a good idea to keep it on-topic and to direct any meta-posts/arguments to the GMs for this game.

Remember that it is just a forum game, don't take it too seriously and also remember that the standing forum rules on derailing, flaming and the like still apply ITT.

1314
cause this is the actual thread, that one was to gauge interest

1315
You can ride dire wolves!?!? I'm sold. I think I'll pick it up Sunday night or Monday morning.
yes

Very good, Sunday night is probably gonna be when we get on for a big play of it.
Hoping to get it up tomorrow (as i said in the other thread ayy lmao) so we might have the basic base going by the time you join us
I didn't even realize there was two threads >.>
Yeah i'm gonna lock the other one

make things a little less confusing

Wait fuck my roommate said he bought this game but it was just the free trial
ayy lmao

So would that mean you aren't able to play it for a while/at all?
I'm gunna watch some YouTube videos of it then either buy it or convince him to buy it
YouTube


I'd recommend this video, dunno if you've ever watched battlefield friends but it's those guys.
The place they go to in this video is pretty breathtaking
this game looks cool as fuck
It really is, it's been incredibly frustrating trying to play the game on public servers because of all the GTA online tier players but the group of us actually getting to explore and enjoy the game is gonna be 10/10

Good news is the server is going up early too, hopefully by tomorrow lunchtime EST
So if you do want to get it, and can do so, i'd get that DLing overnight because there is a patch due for it tomorrow as well >_>
