Remember how much I complained about YAF, the forums I (along with Feld0 himself and Viscra) used to frequent before coming here? Yeah, they did that a lot, too.

Got me angry, then blamed everything on me, and me alone; when I suggested to at least share the responsibility, they refused even that. Also accused me of causing drama - while specifically searching for my past posts just to mock them, and continuing to spite me for over 6 pages after my last message (15 posts/page, that's nearly a hundred posts without a word from me).

 

---- WARNING: LONG RANT ----

 

There was one particular asshole who'd flame everyone who disagreed with his opinions. Many of the older members took a liking to this habit he called his "pimp hand".

His bitches (not afraid to call them that because of how much they sucked up to him), called his targets "thin-skinned" for getting offended after persistent flaming and harassment.

And wouldn't you know, every time he caused another member to lash out and return the favor for once, that member was banned and not him (despite forum rules overtly stating both parties were responsible in case of flame wars).

 

I was pretty much the only one who ever had the courage to call him out more than once in a blue moon. For that, I became a "smug dick" and a "drama queen".

Which is pretty hypocritical, because one time when I reported his obnoxiousness again, one mod told me "You think [username] would ignore you?" That was a pretty good giveaway of their double standard right there - he gets away with anything because it's "him" all the time, but I'm guilty for saying "enough is enough" and deciding to take action.

I know that feeling all to well, one shithole I was on as a teen had mods so dickish that they'd openly side with the trolls and trouble makers just because it entertained them and they didn't like "new blood" unless they came in kissing ass.

My issue here is not as violent though, this user just seems to want to disregard all the constructive things I've done on the wiki and act like the few things I've complained about are all I've ever done on there just because one of the things I called useless(the beckel test, for reference) was apparently a pet trope of hers. Nevermind the fact a mod sided with here and closed the Trope Repair Shop thread I started even though several people were in it agreeing something needed done about how the trope was being used on wiki pages.

If you just drew that to reply with, 1000+ bonus points to you my good sir. 

I'm fine with it aside from the way they screwed with the notification system. It seems like it could work pretty well once you get used to it. 

I have long thought about starting a thread in the debate pit about something similar to that, it seems like a lot of people are raised to believe certain things and often don't question them to such an extent that they just espouse them without even realizing the true implications of them. I used to a hard core liberal but then became a libertarian when I realized that mainstream liberal policies as well as mainstream conservative policies completely and totally contradicted the values I held most dear.

I feel somewhat the same way, as someone who supports human rights in general(including free speech) the concept of creating artificial peace by banning everything you find offensive or scary(which is what many liberal polices steam from) rubs me the wrong way.

I also hate the concept of "privilege" and telling people that should feel bad just because that happen to be born into a majority of some kind, it completely derails the message of not being ashamed of how your were born.    

What do you use for converting?

AVS video converter.

Nice commentary! You keep a good pace at speaking, not too slow, not too fast, only thing I'd recommend is getting a HD mic, the only thing that's annoying is background noise. Other then that nice LP!

That's the issue, it sounds fine on the raw file from FRAPS, but it goes to hell when I convert and compress it into a MKV file.

Nice haul!

 

Out Of This World (the version I had was 'Another World' for the Atari ST) drove me loco in the coco! I lived in constant fear that a spooky black beast would start chasing me or that I'd get my head stove in by a rock the moment I walked on to a new screen.

 

*Very* stressful game... ah but when I finally figured out how to trick the beast in to getting its head stove in... i swear i victory danced for an hour!

Sounds like an interesting game.

Which Dell models are those? I used to have a 170GL that I bought on eBay for $70 some six years ago or so... never failed me once. Sadly, it was left behind at my old apartment when I moved two months ago.

There's like three different ones between them. I haven't gotten far enough into the system to read any manufacture info yet so I just know that this one is a 2.6GHz Pentium 4 system

Aww, I love your kitty. <3

 

Sorry, I'm a cat freak.

No problem, I'm used to that reaction XD.

Aww yeah going to play some ultra bf3 on that?

No, he's gonna play some Crysis 3 on Ultra in 2560x1600 on it.

Even better, I found my copy of Doom, crank that bad-boy up and turn on all the particle effects

You are loved as well even though we have never talked!!

 

also; if you ever need to vent hit me up

Thanks, man

learn to Gamma and brightness settings.

This one doesn't have any(or barely graphics settings at all, for that matter)

Indie Horror Games are all to much the same, there plot-lines are those weird metaphorical stories. They have lots of jump scares in dark places. They basically look like they were made at home over a weekend. Which is why I like Big Budget Horror games over Indie Horror.

True, but I have a soft-spot for cheaply made free/budget games and all their little quirks and flaws.  

Pitch darkness and jump scares are effective, but the game makers starting to rely too much on only that. SCP: Containment Breach, for example, pulls off both rather well, because the jump scares are because of the monsters' unique methods of chasing you, but there are a number of other games where every time you travel twenty meters the game's scripted to flash a bright image on your screen.

The issue is that you can see something in games like that, when it's so black you can't even navigate there's a problem.

I love let's plays. 

That, but I meant what lead to that comment in the first place(I thought I made a typo XD)

Mine is right.

I feel like I'm missing something...

lel ur onion is rong

?

You know, As far away as she seems I bet she's up there listening, smiling and regretting what she left behind.

Just remember, no goodbye is forever, at least that's what I believe.  

Beautiful post man. 

I got plenty of room in the Batcave if it's looking for a place to stay.  Always happy to add another bat to the the family.

Then come visit my attic, I'm pretty sure there's a whole flock up there somewhere, finding this many bats in the middle of town isn't normal XD.

If you'd make a Gamer Luna one I'd used it though. 

I'm really impartial to the blog(I like gamer luna and I've seen a couple funny panels from it floating around).

Even though I won't use the sig thing, I'll throw my hat in just to support freedom of speech and because Luna.

And JJ makes awesome art outside the blog and I wouldn't want him to get discouraged. 

I thought they were for the ones who already brought CS2 only.

Not that I've seen, they're letting anyone download it and not asking for any key-codes they haven't provided on the page.

I think that bit in the info may have just been ass-cover of some kind so no-one could deem it abandonware, since it's been like this for months and they haven't bothered to fix it or take steps to restrict downloads.  

does CS2 have lesser system requirements? it might be a good alternative for people with low-end computers to use, though i'm unsure what services CS2 had back then (if Premiere, Illustrator, AND Photoshop is free, then a poor man's computer might find some use for them!).

Yeah, ALL the CS2 era stuff is free. 

I'm kinda glad DA doesn't notify you of everything via e-mail, I get enough spam as it is. They only reason that like keep it up to date is to send you ads and newsletters.

Also, I have never had a store ask me for e zipcode, where the heck do you shop?
