Topics that aren't worth a thread.

5. I like the rain. It is very soothing and relaxing.

6. Is Canada a nice place to live? Nowhere in particular, just the country in general.

If you like rain, Vancouver is pretty much the Seattle of Canada.

I've always wanted to poll and see how many people have attached earlobes vs. unattached.

Ponies. Fucking ponies.

Guilty Crown isn't living up to expectations, but I'm still finding enjoyable although everyone else is really disappointed.

I also happened to think Blood C wasn't that bad although everyone says it's like the worst thing of all time ever.

I watched AKIRA for the first time yesterday. Good stuff. Weird, but good. I've been taking baby steps into the world of Anime for around a year, and I have yet to step on any substantial landmines. So that's nice. But does anyone have some ideas of what I should watch next?

I've never been sure about this... Which is 12AM and which is 12PM? As in which is midday and which is midnight?

12PM is midday, 12AM is midnight.

It's easy to remember if you think about it this way: Would 12:01PM be in the day, or the night?

Ah thanks. That sorts that out then. Now I feel like slightly less of a moron.

Ghost in the Shell is another very influential cyberpunk anime like Akira. It's another one of those animes you have to watch if you are a fan. It's pretty good. It deals a lot with the future relationship humans will have with robots and A.I, and a lot of the plot focuses around the idea of the singularity and how far A.I can go and still be called "artificial". But I personally found the plot was a bit confusing and complicated and it only really started to make sense in the last 20 minutes or so. But it's still well worth a watch and probably lends itself well to the style of Akira.

"so I just [insert mundane]"
HATE it, I cannot express how much. I've actually closed the browser tab for more than one thread starting "So..."

Also, piracy threads. Escapists would get bans or warnings for admitting to doing it, therefore it is impossible to debate here. These threads should be banned.

Wow, what a rant. Sorry folks

TL;DR Aim assist is the bane of immersion and I hate ever developer that makes it permanent.

Aim assist has never bothered me, since I never knew it existed until I saw somebody mention it on here a year back.

I still doesn't bother me because I have never noticed it in action. I guess that is what being incredibly into the action of a game does, it masks the noticing of any possible slight movement of the aiming reticle.

On the RPG thing: Whatever floats your boat. I like both linear and non-linear. I've played and like most game types and genres.

But to me, your immersion point makes no sense. The reason most RPGs are non-linear, is because it is the best way to achieve immersion because it gives the player a whole world to sink into and be wrapped up in. The Elders Scrolls games like Skyrim wouldn't really work all that well, because the open and picturesque world is what makes the game, the lore and the stories of the Elder Scrolls games wouldn't work if it didn't have those great non-linear worlds.

Besides, the reason such RPGs are set up in the ways you don't like, it is how most RPG players want their RPGs to be. They don't want to be told exactly where to go and what to do, they want to play the game and experience it on their terms.

I was thinking of creating a thread about how awesome it would be to have Nicolas Cage modded into Skyrim complete with his classic movie lines but then realised this was...an obscure interest.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Well there has been some topics I could of make but likewise it hold little dicussion or little to none people posting in it (I'm aiming for that On Fire badge)-

"How does one end the cycle of hate?". (If you don't know what it mean I referring to certain war related media that use hate as the fuel for a war.)
"All things come to an end" (Not an emo thread, it more about which shows, books etc you would hate to see to end or dicuss which media would not died out e.g. DC recent reboot).
"How do you judge the valve of a product?"

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I'm thinking about trying to Justin Beiber myself onto the next Comedy Central Roast. Just post a video of myself on youtube as a sort of open plea to whom it may concern in Comedy Central. I've never done stand-up before but they put The Situation on the Donald Trump roast and that guy fucking BOMBED. I figure I have a better chance than that dude, all I need to do is post an appeal that nobody important will hear or, see.

 

[ElectricMegaHamstah]

I think Skyrim needs to be in this thread, somehow, too

... Don't even joke about it...

ooh, ooh, I know!

Carrots are WAY too rare compared to other foods in skyrim

Why are fantasy broadswords the equivalent of a real world Zweihander?

 

[Dango]

Wakamoto Norio appreciation.

I'm just kidding, that would be the best thread ever.

 

[rayen020]

is anyone else excited about the olympics? and am i wrong or is a baseball/softball no longer an olympic sport?

12PM is midday, 12AM is midnight.

It's easy to remember if you think about it this way: Would 12:01PM be in the day, or the night?

To be up after midnight and to go to bed then,
is early: so that to go to bed after midnight is to
go to bed betimes.

Isn't it obvious?
OP, how come ghosts/gods/dragons don't talk to people as much now as they used to?

Sheppard's Pie. I am currently eating it.

I'd like to talk about how awesome Sheppard's Pie is. But, I'm sure you already know that.

Now, I'm going to stop typing this, and go back to eating my delicious Sheppard's Pie.

Nom Nom Nom.

Actually, I didn't know how awesome it is, but thanks to looking into this thread I have now learned the true ways of the Sheppards.

Thank you <3

"How do you judge the valve of a product?"

#1. I would hate to see Star Wars go away. It's been with me all my life, and it defined my taste in music and fiction. Even with how bloated and flawed the newer material is, if the older films eventually degraded beyond repair, a part of me would die inside.

#2. Well, first we have to determine what practical application a valve system would have on a given product. Obviously a water system would be the ideal source for a valve, but for a television? I don't know. /idiot response.

I'd say that the value of an object is subjective. If someone feels they got their money's worth, then that justifies the value they bout the product with.

OP, how come ghosts/gods/dragons don't talk to people as much now as they used to?

Homogenization. The popular variations of all these supernatural, fantastical or religious figures have been distilled to the most monetarily valuable stereotype. The mad god. The western style Dragon. The "Paranormal Activity" ghost.

It comes down to a lack of imagination as a writer rips off another.
