Nothing right now. I might just read another Goosebumps book for the sake of entertainment value. I got some that I haven't even read yet.
Still, nothing else right now as far as books go grabs my interest.
Daily reminder that this post infers that Deci is more capable of appreciating literature than Verbatim is.
Honestly if it wasn't for Goosebumps back in the 90s when I was like 5-6 years old, I would have never been interested in reading everything. I would have never really learned, but Goosebumps encouraged me to read, it caught my eye with its artwork and it really wanted me to know what it was about.
I read other books as I got older such as Lord of The Flies, The Old Man and The Sea, hell I even got Of Mice and Men in my collection. The other 2 I borrowed.
One book that I read in high school and was actually a challenge to do a paper on it later was one flew over the cuckoo's nest, but I read it. The entire book.
And honestly I liked to book more than the movie. Same can be said with Lord of The Flies.
So when I feel disinterested, I fall back to my childhood roots on where I began reading.
It's nice having a nice easy read isn't it? I like going back to Harry Potter/ A Series of Unfortunate Events sometimes.
You know I never finished reading A Series of Unfortunate Events all the way through, but I plan to one of these days. That's the second book series that motivated me to keep reading. I still have The Bad Beginning and I own the movie. Oddly enough Harry Potter didn't really capture my interest as much. But Goosebumps, god I was obsessed with those as a child, and I partly still am from time to time. It became more than a book, more of a novelty. I don't know how other kids imagined how the story played out, but for me it was always a lot darker than intended, and fortunately there is one Goosebumps book that is that dark, at least too dark for a kid, that I proudly have in my collection. It never got reprinted so the first print version is all that exists. Its called I live in your basement. The way how I imagined it is what kept me reading.

I wish 343 had it set to how it was with Bungie. Where you download a map to your Xbox One.
I want that Sandtrap map but I have to follow the creator just to get it, and that shit feels awkward.

THE ENTIRE THING?
Sorry I don't speak sarcasm.

That's why I mainly try to do things that won't really bother anyone else, and mainly for my own entertainment or interest.
Isn't that itself just a challenge? I mean, what if it does bother someone?
Then they can fuck off
Oh.
But seriously though just do whatever you enjoy without thinking about others
You have a valid point there Boss.

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.
Wise words as always Sandtrap. You sure do know how to hit the nail in the head in the most badass way. Seriously, thank you. I'll try to keep that in mind that I can't get everyone to see what I see and that I need to not be biased and listen myself.

Kenny, where the hell do you find this shit?
I find it inside of my anus
liar, you'd never be able to find it under all that fat
lol
You should make your next avatar Mike Butters from Pepsiman. It kinda suits you.
Give me an avatar and I'll put it up on Dubtrack and Skype.
How is this one? If its too big I can resize it for you.
Seems good to me.
Now if only I could find a way you get you to play the game. Oh its a sell out game obviously, so its gonna be bad, but its so damn hard I'm stuck on the 3rd stage atm.
Give me a link to a good emulator and I'll think about it.
From what I heard this is a pretty good PS1 emulator.
http://www.emuparadise.me/Sony_Playstation_Emulators/Windows/ePSXe/20
However the game itself might not run with audio on it for some reason on emulators. Someone made a PSP port for PSPs with custom firmware like mine so I run it natively on that.
You don't have to play the game its okay.
Since it's apparently a really hard and cringey game you should do a livestream of it.
Eh. Maybe.
Why not? It would be entertaining to watch.
That isn't it. Its how would I be able to adapt to a crappy PS1 emulator when I'm use to it on PSP already, and then that would leave how do I stream something on a PSP?

Nope. If something is something I feel is a waste of my time, I won't do it.
What if you don't know that it will waste you time?
I don't do much. Go to college, play vidya and write basically sums up what I do, so there's not much to really know.
The closest really is buying a new game, but I'm generally pretty spot on with the games I buy and it's rare I buy a game I thoroughly dislike - Halo 5 being the only one in recent memory i can think of. Though it might be down to the fact I tend to operate on a limited budget and rarely get more than two games a year, so I like to know what I'm getting is probably something I'll like.
In terms of interacting with people irl, I tend to pick my words/ think about whther the person I'm talking to will actually care about what I'm saying.
That is exactly what I'm missing. My autism fucks me over thanks to one critical component. If people will care or not.

Hey SecondClass, I found Kenny. Spoiler Real talk though Mike Butters is actually a nice guy. He felt like crap in this because he had to drink so much of that crap, but at least he got a free Japanese PS1 for it. I talked to him today actually.

Well said actually. I wish that could be explained to my own brother-in-law. He's dense as hell and he believes whatever he says is right. Just had an argument with him actually, not too long ago.
I tend to just stop responding to people when they get like that. They eventually get the point that I'm not interested in conversations like that, but it takes an exhausting amount of patience for me. I get it, it's totally frustrating.
My brother-in-law has known me since I was 8 years old and he'll do anything to get me butthurt. I'm glad I'm not alone in that at least. He's quite extreme on his decisions btw. Its either one way or the other for him. No compromising.
