  1. I’m finding some really good retro game tracks. Found one on the Amiga 500. Known as Elvira II: The Jaws of Cerberus. Soundtrack though limiting in quantity, make up for their quality.

    Personal favorite of mine is Drugged, Runaway, and Hideaway.

      Are you a fan of the old Nintendo SNES games? Donkey Kong's a great example of a SNES franchise that aged well, except perhaps DKC3. David Wise is a legend in gaming so much so that in Donkey Kong Country Returns ages later, they basically reused many of the old classics from Donkey Kong Country. Here's one a classic, Life in the Mines:

      Either way, it's good to know someone who appreciates old school game music and themes.

      Yeah I do occasionally listen to Super Nintendo tracks from time to time. David Wise does live up to his last name because some of the instrument samples on Super Nintendo are just awful. Most notably is the French Horn being the absolute worst instrument sample IMO that only Final Fantasy II (aka IV) and Final Fantasy III (aka VI) makes good use of that particular instrument sample.

       

      Personally I would much rather prefer Sega Genesis with its FM Synthesizer. To me there’s so much untapped potential out of the FM Synthesizer since there are no established instrument samples for it compared to The Super Nintendo’s soundchip. Instead the instrument samples have to be made from scratch on top of making music out of that which gives the FM Synthesizer more potential to create unique music. Of course you get the typical Banjo Guitar Twang that’s typical in most Sega Genesis games which is just as bad as the French Horn from Super Nintendo.

       

      I usually take more interest in games that come out of obscure consoles and PCs mostly. Which in return makes the games obscure by nature.

  2. I’m grateful and glad the more I live my Life. Why? Cause I’m making a lot of people around here who hate me for who I am and why I ponder to the point of pure zealotry. Why? Cause it’ll give me the motivation to get good and be a better person compared to my adversaries.

    I made many enemies not only online, but IRL as well. I’ve been, experienced, and witnessed such people who are willing to hate me with the intent of killing me outright. Scary I know, but that’s reality for me since I just want to to come across as an understandable and understanding individual.

    However, don’t take it as if I don’t have anything against people who wanna be cool and friendly with me. As I intend to be cool and friendly with them too and I mostly come across as such IRL who speaks my mind and say as a straightshooter. Somehow my presence alone with my personality IRL attracts mean-spirited, cynical, bigoted and misanthropic people to shit all over me.

    Respect? What’s that? Sounds as old and archaic as Chivalry.

      @JonasDarkmane See that’s the beauty behind people you don’t know for sure you’re dealing with online and IRL. While I will admit that my reasoning throughout this post comes across not only overreacting, but paranoid as well there’s a reason for that. You remember the last time we talked about me being a Shia Muslim? The kind of Muslim that are in a minority in the grand scheme of reality.

      People who are in the minority are in the minority for a reason. Because people like us are in grave danger of being ostracized, humiliated, bullied, ridiculed, and even worse. Killed for what we speak and stand for. Look it up. You’ll soon find out how horrific and brutal people like us get killed on a daily basis *cough* Saudi Arabia *cough* just for speaking our minds.

      I will also admit that I’m in a psychiatric hospital and seeking therapy to overcome my mental instabilities. So far my counselor and psychiatrist tells me that I’m making my way to a good recovery. Both physically and mentally. I wonder if my adversaries are?

      I just want people to tolerate my presence and who I am even if they disagree with me because unlike them I don’t intend to disrespect anyone who has a different opinion than me and do my best to understand and acknowledge their points. Do my adversaries (be they hidden or open) do?

      Again you can make your point that I need to draw a line when it comes to Real Life and Online, but Online is just as much of a part of Real Life as Real Life gets. Online is Virtual Reality while Real Life is Real Reality. However, both are intertwined to me IMO and both are necessary to understand Reality as a whole. People can hire a Hitman to assassinate people in real life with the Internet. People can hate online and in real life. People can cyberbully online which will inevitably translate to bullying that individual in Real Life thanks to the Internet. You see how intertwined both The Internet and Real Life actually are?

      Oh, I know about the rift between Sunni Islam and Shia Islam and how truly brutal it is that is no laughing matter. As for religious marginalization, know about that as well, speaking as a Norse Heathen living in a Christian occupied country. 

       

      As for your adversaries tolerating you, that is for them to decide. It can be rather difficult if other peoples opinions on you matters greatly to you. It gets even more difficult when its strangers opinions on you that you start caring about, or even possible opinions that strangers may hold. Perhaps some things are best left to be unknown and unexplored. Maybe not interesting topics, but rather other peoples thoughts, especially personal ones. 

    4. ZethaPonderer

      ZethaPonderer

      Hmm... interesting point there @JonasDarkmane. One that I never thought of. Strangers may be strangers, but they are people too with hopes and dreams. Strangers reveal a part of their personality when they are interacting with you first time (both Online and IRL) even if they don’t think they are and think they’re being clever disguising their personality as they’re anonymous or some shit. I don’t think ALL Strangers are bad people. Some of them do come across as nice individuals. Take yourself for an example :). It all depends on consistency in terms of how they speak, what are their manners when they speak, and how they’re willing to come across as such to other people.

       

      But I understand what you mean. Human Nature is fickle and unpredictable. Expect the unexpected and all that. While I may not want to think or even tolerate the idea that Humanity has developed misanthropic ideals, I definitely agree with you there that I should expect the unexpected just as much.

  3. If people believe Humans are Animals according to Science, then the other way around has to hold just as much weight. So let me do my best to share my pondering of this matter,

    "Humans are Animals = Fact according to Science based on Biology.

    Animals are Humans = What? I have so many questions. So if Animals are Humans then is Pet Ownership Slavery and Bestiality is justified? Wait you're saying Bestiality is not justified because Animals are innocent? Then how are Animals Humans when Humans are not innocent at all? What does it mean to be innocent? What does it mean to be a Human and an Animal if both are the same thing? I'm confused RAAAAAHHHHHHHRRRR!!!"

     

    Humans are Animals. But are Animals Humans? YES???

    Still learning lol.

    I just think the definition of the term "Animal" is semantics according to Science and contradictory according to Philosophy. Plus, labeling someone or a Non-Plant Living Creature an "Animal", or a "Beast" which is synonymous to Animal, seems demeaning and derogatory just as much as using Racial Slurs as suitable labels to describe Humanity as a whole IMHO.

    So how about a different term that shares similarities to the term "Animal". I like the word "Flesh".

    So instead of Animal Kingdom, how about Fleshly Kingdom? Thus, Dogs and Cats are Fleshly Mammals. Chicken are Fleshly Birds. Alligators are Fleshly Reptiles. Frogs are Fleshly Amphibians. Salmon are Fleshly Fish.

    Therefore, Humans are Fleshly Mammals.

  5. Is anyone aware of this current dumpster fire going on the YouTube Gaming community with internet gamer celebrity Projared? I admit I like the guy’s content, but man will his videos won’t age well based on this recent scandal. I hate to bring in a cringy Roblox sound effect, but I think its appropriate given the current situation,

    Oof indeed. Oof indeed. Projared releasing his divorce info for the public to witness while his wife releasing info on him cheating with her on another YouTuber gamer Commander Holly.

    What a tragic dumpster fire. :( I thought he was a swell and chill guy. Guess I thought wrong. Idk if he has time to respond to all these allegations against him. By then it might be too late for him.

      Sigh... In this day in age, I like to subscribe to the notion of "innocent until proven guilty." Nowadays, the easiest way to ruin someone's reputation is to accuse them of sexual misconduct, leading to an often kneejerk response. Even if those accusations are proven to be false, the damage has already been done.

      As a fan of Projared, I hope these allegations are little more than slander resulting from his recent divorce, but if they are true... I don't know if I'll ever be able to watch his videos again...

  6. Is VRChat good? It’s a VR Headset game chat where you talk to people from around the world in a virtual reality.

  7. It's kinda funny, poetic, and bizarre on my end. That I would choose and consider the thought of Suffering as the lesser of evil than Death outright, while I believe that I have no reason to fear Death due to my religious upbringing. However, I respect and treat my adversaries who are NOT religious as my equal who some of them I encountered both IRL and Online that maintain their stance that they would much rather Suffer (as long as its temporary and not permanent) from the hands of an individual than their Life taken away by them succumbing to Death.

    So a moral quandary arises. Which is the worst of two evils you can commit to any living creature: Making them Suffer or Taking their Life away entirely?

    Here's an interesting debate from Quora that talks about if Death is worse or Suffering is,

    https://www.quora.com/Which-is-worse-death-or-suffering

    And here's a Christian blogspot when does Suffering become worse than Death which while not relevant is interesting nonetheless,

    https://pastoralmeanderings.blogspot.com/2017/01/when-does-suffering-become-worse-than.html

    However, I'm being for real here that taking away someone's Life will always be the worst decision a person can ever make and IMO the last decision I ever want to make. However, I’ve come to realize FINALLY from what my adversaries were implying for why they perceive Suffering to be worse than Death. Because there exists Permanent Suffering which I will argue that is much worse than Giving Death so if I were given the choice to do Permanent Suffering or Giving Death I would choose to Give Death. But Temporary Suffering is not that bad compared to Giving Death. So an option can be exercised for Humanity whether Suffering should be Definite or Indefinite.

    So basically,

    Temporary Suffering < Giving Death < Permanent Suffering.

    Under a realism standpoint based on utilitarianism I would unquestionably choose to Suffer (as long as its temporary) from someone's hands because while I don't fear Dying from someone's hands or even the thought that I should have any reason to fear Death, I fear how I will be judged by the God of Abraham whom I worship currently speaking. So I want to live longer in order to struggle more with my Life in hopes of pleasing The God of Abraham. I'm not perfect. I'm a sinner in the eyes of The God of Abraham. I made mistakes in my Life and I hope to rectify most of them as long as I live. I know I made many enemies (both IRL and Online). And I know I will NEVER be forgiven from my enemies. But I never intend to wrong them and do my best to understand where they're coming from. It's only when they start to wrong me that I take relentless action to seek and bring them to Justice. So I'll seek refuge from The God of Abraham in hopes that He forgives me more so than my enemies will NEVER dream of. Cause at the end of the day, I don't expect my adversaries to forgive me. It's their choice ultimately. They don't have to. Like how they don't have to tolerate where I'm coming from. This is my biggest lesson for the day. Thank you my adversaries.

    I know I went off on a weird tangent, but ultimately what I stand by is that it doesn't matter if it's an animal, insect, or a human. All living creatures have a right to live their life to their fullest. I would not choose Suffering nor Death towards any living creature. But, if somebody pointed a gun at me from behind to choose the two: I don't want to do it, but I'll make you Suffer instead of Killing you outright.

  9. Just watched this video recently about ProJared clearing his name. For 3 months, the man patiently made this video to clear his name against the cancel-culture mob. I unfortunately was part of that mob, though I had doubts about ProJared's serious accusations (especially the pedo ones) but never thought too hard about it. Therefore, I apologize, subbed to ProJared, and begin watching his content since I miss them. So far he cleared his name with all the accusations on the video.

      I always strongly felt that he was innocent but I feared so much that this cancel culture completely ruined him. I am happy to see him come back and I hope everything can move forward, as he is one of my favorite Youtubers ever. 

  10. LOL watched a video about nothing for 10 minutes. It’s 10 hours of black screen. Over 500k+ views on YouTube. Quality Content right here ladies and gentlemen. :muffins:

    People making jokes about the concept of nothing is funny to me.

    Would be even funnier if these videos were monetized. That would be the funniest and ironic way to make some quick cash. *sigh* I have a very dry sense of humor.

  11. Manga. Manhwa. What’s the difference? :muffins:

      Yeah you got me @Twiggy. I was just being funny here. I know there are different types of *comic books* (otakus and weebs triggered) named differently depending on which country from Asia. People say Manga, others say Manhwa.

      My preference is Comic Books from *insert country from Asia here* (intensified triggering from both otakus and weebs). That or Graphic Novels.

      Lol I hear that. There are even Westaboos in Japan that get pissed when people call comics manga.

  13. Me and my family gonna go watch Aladdin (2019 Disney Live Action Remake). Will Smith Genie will never compare to Robin Williams Genie IMO, but I’ll see his performance for myself.

    Since my computer is HP and using Zoom Cloud to attend my courses, my whole computer performance plummets to 15 frames per second. My computer has become so l-a-a-a-g-g-g-y-y-y and ssslllloooowwww. Stupid HP.

    Oh I can tell this is gonna be good uptil April 6th. :P

  19. People who debate to only question and cherry pick the opposer's viewpoints is a horrible way to debate IMO since they haven't proved anything on their end alongside questioning and only proven how narrow-minded and ignorant they are in terms of understanding. At least the opposer has a viewpoint. So what if you don't agree with it?

  20. So far I’m having fun with the Battle Network games from 1-6. Unfortunately I didn’t enjoy the first Battle Network game which is pretty rough around the edges and surprisingly buggy to the point of game breaking. It’s no wonder why most Mega Man fans couldn’t appreciate the Battle Network games. Because the first game in the series is not good gameplay-wise and leaves a bad impression. First impressions mean a lot for some people. I’m just glad the series gets better after this.

    1. PoisonClaw

      PoisonClaw

      I think the series really hit its stride by the third game. 1 and 4 are both pretty rough and buggy. If I had to rank them from best to worst, it would be: 5, 3, 6, 2, 1, and finally 4.

       

    2. ZethaPonderer

      ZethaPonderer

      @PoisonClaw

      Fair enough on your part. In my opinion, I'm all about the game play when it comes to the Battle Network series so 1 doesn't do much for me compared to 4 which FINALLY implemented the Full Synchro feature making the game play awesome IMO. It was something I feel like the game designers intended for that to be prominent in the first three games, aside from the Woodman Bug from Blue Moon. Instead Full Synchro from the first three MMBN games wasn't entirely emphasized completely as a game play feature IMO. It was treated more or less as a plot device IMHO and no I don't count the Hub Patch on the Navi Customizer from 3-6 nor the Hub Style from MMBN2 as Megaman.EXE going Full Synchro. 4, 5, and 6 really got the whole Full Synchro shtick down IMO.

      So my personal ranking with respect to the Hub/Saito trilogy (1-3) goes in this order: 2 > 3 > 1. The third game is more in the middle for me in terms of enjoyment. I didn't like the idea how they got rid of the PowerUPs feature that was prominent in the first two MMBN games and replaced it with the Navi Customizer. I really think they should've kept that feature alongside the Navi Customizer because it kinda limits the player's options for building Megaman.EXE. You either make Megaman.EXE strong or give him support abilities through the Navi Customizer which is lame. I can't have it both ways? Lame.

      2 is essentially 1 but better in every way and what 1 should've been right from the get go LOL.

  21. So many purty jewels being awarded to me. Why? :derp:

  22. Sup y’all. Not gonna bother posting anymore on Debate Pit section since I now realize there’s no point to it. Ahh don’t worry there are more interesting topics to discover on other sections. 

    I’m just gonna sleep. In Canada currently.

  23. Thanks for following me. I follow you back as part of my motto. Usually back then I wouldn't have followed anyone even if they followed me since personally I just don't like this whole Follow the Person system and the fact that I embraced Loneliness back then. But, hey Life doesn't care what I think so its neither fair nor unfair. Out of curiosity I want to know why you follow me if this is a fair question on your part? :)
