    Dark Souls

    Very first person that invaded my game used a hack to instantly kill me, curse me, put shit on my head and then max debuffs on me, all which persisted. Remember that being a hack that people were using in pvp. Restarting and going offline I guess heh.

    Path of Exile

    Haven't had much chance to play Flashback until last night due to end of semester crap. Had no red maps completed at all, about 60ish atlas completion. I go to check my map at some point, notice elder had spawned in Sunken Temple heh. Not a single red map completed, zero memory fragments done...

    You keep acting like loot dropping like crazy is a problem. I grant you that if there really was a league where everything dropped in the first few hours it might be boring. However, given the leagues that we have had, has there ever been a league that dropped too much loot? Perandus had lots of...

    This league seems like its gonna drop hella loot, with new zones and mechanics to explore. Should be a lot of fun for most people. Hopefully they have some really shitty rng-based crafting so Zombiewizardhawk has fun also.

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    Is it even possible to train a rooster not to crow? The only solution to that sounds like a "bark collar" but not sure those exist for chickens. I know in severe cases there exist with dogs some surgery to remove vocal cords. Yeah, avoided bringing that up, but it is also an obvious analogy...

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    No they do not. That is deeply disingenious to claim that, after coming up with a list that had nothing to do with good dogs and owners. My dog does not create noise pollution simply for existing. I collect his feces. He doesn't attack anyone. His existence doesn't mean the county has to pay...

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    These two things do not match. You go from wishing to ban large dogs in urban areas due to externalities of bad dogs, to wanting to ban the use of tires in urban areasas a fuel source for fires due to externalities of the bad use of tires. IE: Just for existing in an urban area, large dogs...

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    Claiming I am misrepresenting you, after I take the very analogy you came up with and point out how silly it is. That is the tell-tale sign of you losing an argument because its based on your disgust of dogs and not rationality. I am laying out your case exactly using the analogy you came up...

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    A dog when not doing anything to you is fine. A dog barking like mad or attacking someone is a problem. Your solution? Ban dogs. A tire on a car, fine. A tire burning is a problem. Your solution? Ban tires. You basically came up with the perfect analogy on why your solution is absurd. Good...

    Sure, go ahead and do that and someone will call the cops. That has a large externality. The solution isn't to ban fucking tires you dumb fuck.

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    My argument is that by default, people should be able to do what they want. In particular to this case, people should be able to have the type of companions they want, as long as they are taking care of them and their dogs are not attacking people. This is based on a deep history in the US of...

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    I agree, there should not be a distinction. If someone wants to have a donkey in their own yard and it has enough room and is taken care of, it should be allowed. If you want another answer, it is because the species of humans and dogs have existed together for millenium. For centuries, dogs...

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    See, thats the problem with you. Stop fucking caring what someone is doing in their own fucking yard. If you want a donkey, more power to you. As long as you take care of it and are cleaning up after it, go right ahead.

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    Thank you for revealing the real reasons. It has nothing to do with the externalities you mentioned, but that you find dogs "disgusting". Just because you do not like something or find it disgusting, is not a sufficient reason for a law. Your list is just an attempt to come up with a rational...

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    Your list was stupid, as I pointed out. It only applies to bad dog owners and there are also already laws that exist to stop people from doing stuff like that. You aren't coming at this from a rational point of you, are coming at it from someone on a crusade to get rid of "scary" dogs. Just...

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    No, I should be able to do what I want as long as it is not infringing on you. Me walking my dog is not infringing on you. If you are so scared of dogs that can't handle me walking my dog nearby you or taking him to the park, maybe you should just stay inside at all times.

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    The argument is that its my house and if I train my dog not to bark and I clean up his fece's, then passing laws to punish all dog owners based on bad ones is stupid as fuck.

    Thumbs up/thumbs down just reinforces echo chambers. I was hoping we would get away from such a system, but alas.

    Path of Exile

    You are. Just because GGG has a reputation of releasing buggy and unpolished shit and then fixing it in a few weeks does not mean that it is okay for them to do so. This league was also fucked up imo in a fundamentally different way than previous leagues. Bugs are understandable, emergent...

    Path of Exile

    Yeah, I'm playing the hell out of this league also. The ascendency changes, elder rings, some fun recipes on bestiary, the loot explosions from them now, it is fun. Just the list of shit that still needs fixing on bestiary is huge. On top of that list is how ridiculous it is that you still...

    Path of Exile

    Anyone defending how bestiary was when it launched is just a fucking idiot, not really worth debating the subject. Even GGG has admitted they fucked up bigtime. Got my first mirror this weekend, wee!

    With the info about 3.2 bestiary changes saying nets were taking up drops from the bosses and it was noticeable, that might have been hitting map drops. They really screwed the pooch 6 ways to sunday this league.

    Path of Exile

    Absolutely worst league mechanic that I can remember. 5 minutes into the league it felt completely clunky and unfun. Pretty crazy it got released in this form. Everything about it sucks, the hidden cooldown on recaptures, random chance governing captures, net interface being garbage, the mobs...

    Altered Carbon

    It really just ruins the ending. Even if Bancroft had killed someone just out of the blue, he would have an army of lawyers. It doesn't matter what the "people" would believe, it would be what a rigged judicial system would believe. When you add that he did it while drugged, which is a huge...

    Only ever had two transgender students in any of my classes, one of them was a goth when I had them as a student some years ago. This semester they show up to my class with their hair as a goth, lipstick, etc, but wearing fishnet stockings and heels and with a new name. So definitely seems to...

    It probably depends on what games you are used to. After playing a bunch of Souls games, I just could never get into Witcher 3 either because of the combat.

    Black Panther (2018)

    The tokenism going on with reviews for this is pretty silly. For example, TheYoungTurks movie review show, WhatTheFlick, posted some initial reactions. In it, they promise to include a black person for the full review. Not good enough to be part of your normal show, but hey, if you are watching...

    I absolutely would ridicule a gambler who said something like "its hit red 3 times in a row, time to start betting on black" while playing roulette.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    My guess is that people are mocking because in a market this volatile, it might as well be just gambling. All your talk of 8k walls, which you change to 5k walls, etc, it sounds like you really have no fucking idea what is happening. Also, gamblers are notorious for doing things like talking...

    Tanoomba's Toxic Tank of Traducement

    I like the rest of your post, but I think you are too sanguine about false positives here. For example, how would we know exactly how many false positives are we getting? I am unaware of any statistics on people changing their mind, other than maybe something to do with the suicide rate (which...

    If you are going to disable edits, at least do the right thing and ban @fanaskin also. It amounts to the same thing anyway.

    I think this is a fair criticism and it would be nice if Tanoomba would not reply to quite as many people. On the other hand, look at all the people coming out of the woodwork to attack every post he makes even when it is a reasonable one. As for the thread, I don't think the thread deserves to...

    Let me speak real slow for you, since you are a fucking idiot. You spamming in some attempt to turn this into a referendum on Araysar doesn't make it into that, no matter how many times you and the fellow whiners post the same drivel. Every time a mod has acted on this forum in any serious way...

    Only because a few of you won't shut the fuck up. Every time a mod does something, you have people come out of the woodworks to complain about it and try to turn it into it being about mod abuse. a_skeleton_03 knows more than anyone how little the spamming criers about mod abuse should matter...

    No it hasn't, that is your delusional take on it. You spamming a thread doesn't turn it into that thing. A bunch of low-information people being upset at a mod is literally what happens everytime a moderator does something. If you were a better person you would have had enough decency to fuck...
