Welcome, Friend, to our little circus of misfits! Don't just drive by and snipe at us; tell us how we're "terrible."

Ideological extremists--separatist militias, religious radicals of any faith, neo-Nazis and other racial supremacists of any kind, and especially SJWs--piss me off. I don't care what they have to say! Quit shoving your views on me and leave me alone already!

 

They also worry me because when they feel like their particular "message" is not getting through, or they feel they have something to gain from such, or their "leader" or another figurehead tells them to, it's not a huge leap into using terrorist tactics.

These are dangerous on period regardless what they follow or how "beneficial" they seems to you, never trust them.

 

Close minded zealots, who only care about a very limited world view.

 

We have way too many and even the ones seems harmless are dangerous as the mainstream ones.

Last weekend i couldnt decide which one of my 40 installed games i should play... so i just wasted two fucking days, shitposted on 4chan, looked at shitty vids on Youtube and just let the two days go by.... 

I fucking hate that i cant decide and focus on few of those games because i have a fucking ocd or some shit... 

[Ernest Lemmingway]

People who decide they dislike me and then go out of their way to harass me, often publicly, who won't agree to just stay out of each other's way and ignore each other, and won't (or can't) answer why they're acting that way. This isn't directed at anyone specific but at a long line of people I've dealt with since Kindergarten. Everyone encounters one or two people like this, I know. But we aspies seem to draw them like flies to honey. Maybe it's something we say, or (don't) do, and someone takes that as a personal affront and focuses solely on the things they don't like about us.

 

My therapist tells me it's just a reaction some people have when folks don't respond to subtle social cues like body language or group signals. "Don't" isn't the right verb, really. People with autism spectrum disorders can't pick up on such. We literally lack the ability to perceive such. It's not personal, it's not that we don't like these people before we even get to know them, it's just how we work.

 

It really makes things harder when the issue extends even to written communications. Aspies especially are prone to misunderstanding what people mean based on their choice of words, and vice versa. And then the very people I mentioned above twist our words further if/when we try to explain ourselves. It's a lose-lose situation for us.

 

Get it through your heads, folks that don't like us: We say what we literally mean! Look at the literal meanings of the words we use! We do not infer or insinuate!

 

Okay, I've finished venting. Feel better now.

They just do it for no other reason just to picking anything what different from their tiny simple world view and not align with it and justify by any reason they can think of it, no matter what is it.

 

Miserable mavolent folks, who only can be feel less shit of their life when they harass someone, otherwise they are failure of human being.

 

Not sure on the therapist, but these folks just looking reasons to pick on what they think "weak" and can't fight back, if it can they just bitch out cause in the core they are cowards.

[Clea Strange]

about the people automatically deciding not liking someone and then even going out of their way to cause trouble for the person they dislike, that thing happens. I don't know if happens alot or not but it does happen.

 

 

I've heard this through friends who have a girlfriend/wife where the guys girlfriend cheats and blames it on the boyfriend/wife. That "they are the reason their girl cheated" Or another one an old friend told me is that he walked in on his wife cheating f***** another guy and she immediately says "Its not what it looks like" 

 

I'll never understand why their are some girls and even guys who can't stay loyal faithful to who they are with, I mean do those who cheat get a kick out of the fact that they are hurting/betraying the one they are with.

 

 

Thankfully I've never had that problem I just have "friends with benefits" solves all of that problem for me

how do you think i grew my misanthropy 

its not as bad now as it once wher but keeping mainly to your own for 15-20 years do have a calming effect so now i can be arround ppl for a full day whitout doing something stupid and it onely takes 2-3 day to calm down after now insted of 2-3 months  so yay i am improving or sumthing 

 

[NitroHamlin]

I hate that feeling I get when I think someone may have misinterpreted something I said. It's kind of the same feeling you get when you do something that you know is going to bite you on the ass later on.

 

This feeling might be why I barely say things with certainty as well.

It happens much more often for people with Asperger Syndrome. As @Resdayn put it, some people just perceive us as being easier targets than others. Sometimes we are, sometimes we're not.

I've been there. I'm still there to a certain extent. I'm also convinced it's the same kinds of assholes picking on others, now using sociopathic media to make it worse, that are responsible for the uptick in school shootings. Along with the idea of "safetyism" and its maladaptive consequences but I've already discussed that in a previous post in this thread.

[serPomiz]

today a bill has been passed; this bills is pretty much a carbon copy of the laws about self defense, but it makes martial artists at similia a bit less strict about the need to apply " the right force and not more" when assaulted. has no real motication not to become the effective new law in a few weeks

 

which in theory, is good for me on pretty much all sides regardless of political creed, as I'm a martial artist with the "bad habit" of "guardbreaking" when going all out, especially in a dangerous situation

 

 

cut then to the political cultists fuckwards that believe the rules on firearms are now completelly lifted and is now easier to obtain a gun here than in a stereotypical american black market, and refuse to believe the contrary when slapped in the face with a official copy of the bill (in some cases litterally, is not long and printing exactly fot this reason seemed fun in the beginning)

 

is it YOUR elected official that YOU elected into office, with OFFICIAL papers from YOUR GOVERNMENT you VOTED for, you cant claim it's the system that prevented you from getting what you wanted, he IS more than half of THE SYSTEM!

[MrTholian]

Otherwise excellent Skyrim mods that make presumptions about your character and how he or she behaves as the dovahkiin.

 

Oh, you're a murderer. (Nope, never killed anyone that wasn't in self defense, and yes that means that none of my main toons do the daedric quests, but I have done all of them on my one "evil" toon.

Oh, you don't want to be the dovahkiin, so you resist the gods. (Nope, it's my destiny and I embrace it)

Oh, all you do is attack everything without thinking. (Anyone who has ever watched me play knows this to not be true. I sometimes take an hour to clear small "dungeons", like the bandit mine outside of Whiterun.)

 

But, the icing on the cake is when they lock out player controls to "move the story" along, even if the situation you are locked into is in complete opposition of everything they have been saying about your character.

 

1 Confront evil hench-person, who is known to be a powerful vampire and mage, prior to a boss fight, who initiates a conversation as soon as you enter the room.

2 Only given three versions of the same dialogue option to go speak to her, despite your companions warnings not to. No option to attack.

3 Go up to talk to her, and regardless of dialogue options, you are forced into a scene where she kisses you. Again, no option to attack.

4 You then kill her, but it's too late as she has "stolen" your ability to shout.

5 Fight the boss and ultimately win thanks to a deus ex machina inserted by the mod author.

 

In reality, and based on the constant dialogue from the mod's NPC's, including the primary one, AND based upon the style of that character, this is how it would have gone.

 

1 Confront evil hench-person, whos is known to be a powerful vampire and mage, prior to a boss fight.

2 Drive a 4 foot ebondragonsbane arrow, from a fully levelled dragonslayer bow, right through her putrid heart before she utters more than two words.

3 Skip to 5

 

All of my dovahkiins are paranoid SOB's/DOB's, so when I position myself so that no one can get behind me, I get a little torqued when the mod script forces me to walk forward and let myself get surrounded. That's pure BS.

 

BTW, should a shield spell, like dragonhide, protect from sapping? Unlike a ward, it is 360.

 

And don't get me started on running into many mod mages who are "far more powerful" than my Arch-Mage level 100+ PC, but the only way to prove it is mod author scripting to lock out player controls.

 

Now, I am sure I will get the usual, well don't play them, and I agree. However, I had to take the time to download them and install them without knowing that the mod was so heavy handed. And, for the most part, these mods have excellent dialogue and good stories. It is shame that they are damaged by mod author preconceptions based upon their own biases and interpretations of the Skyrim story.

 

PS: Mod authors need to keep their personal politics out of mods... PERIOD.

Semi-related, I really hate it when mods use protagonists from the previous games as any sort of plot point.  It almost always ends up with either the author trying to "canon-ise" certain events or the protagonist's personality from the previous game, or being part of an insultingly stupid twist.  Or both.

[Ernest Lemmingway]

SJWs are actually bitching about getting the government to censor negative Captain Marvel reviews. I honestly can't see it happening, not unless they secretly have billions of dollars to bribe "lobby" with. And the worst part is, the movie hasn't even been released to public yet! What are these radicals going to do when the people they claim to be representing agree with the "trolls?"

[MrEsturk]

Trying to update my MAME collection only to have my search engine always recommend EmuParadise: a ROM site that doesn't actually host ROMs anymore. It would be like typing in "Restaurants near me" and the first set of results always being "restaurants" that have pictures of food but don't actually serve any food.

Oh that's just Brianna Wu being Brianna Wu again. She's always been completely mental. She's also only a "Congressional Candidate" in the same sense any obscure, third party nutcase that has run for Congress is a congressional candidate. She'd be more likely to win the candidacy of if there's ever a "first trans person to be lynched by trans people" ?

No, they don't.

 

I would prefer that game studios keep contemporary politics out of their content (Looking at YOU, BioWare and Gearbox.) Injecting contemporary political sentiments/memes into actual retail games will ultimately relegate them to the dustbin of history... I wish some studios would realize this. They're rendering their products unmarketable down the road.

 

In 2029, who is going to want to purchase a game bundle that's riddled with "woke" references from now?

 

Mods are a different story. Mod authors don't owe you a damn thing, when they're doing it for free. Make a reference save before you explore their content. If you don't like it, then revert.

 

If you feel like they've wasted your time by not pointing out the bias contained in their work, drop them a comment. They may not care, but others may see it before downloading.

A game without politics is just pong unless you question the ethics of smacking a white pixel around in slow motion. Creative freedom is here to stay. If you are saying that games are over saturated with meme culture I would agree but if you are saying politics make a bad game then I would have to disagree with you. People take inspiration from real world things and down the road there will be another political movement and the creative teams will be on that shit like moths to a flame.

By the same token games can be used for political propaganda purposes. You get dished up a distinct ideology under the guise of what attracts you. In the 40-year Cold War that came before this one it was rock music and political propaganda in-between. Today it is Facebook. In a game I'd look at the main plot, the favored presentation of certain characters (gender policy etc.) and the level of violence for example, to figure out who is behind...

No. I'm not trying to say that entertainment media should never, ever approach topics such as racism, sexism, et al. FFS, Skyrim confronts racism between Men and Mer (and "beast" races) on the regular. But it's a corollary.

 

The day that TES attempts to tackle oh, let's say, "Whiteness," for example, is the day I close the book on it and toss it into the trash.

 

That's what I'm trying to get at.
