Post What's on Your Mind

[Juan J. Sánchez]

I know the United States (America, as you guys call it) has many faults, but I absolutely love the country and its people. That's why I want to go live there one day. And I'll keep trying until I do.

Costa Rica is supposed to be some sort of tropical paradise where everyone is happy, but people over here are real assholes. I can't stand people in my country.

American logic:
Shoot up an airport full of people in a game = Okay. Perfectly fine.
Big tits and Asses in a game = Everyone loses their shit. Censor everything!!

Burn innocent people with flamethrowers in games = A Okay.
Having sex in games = We can't have that. Outrage time.

Sex and tits is worse than murder according to America. Perfectly okay with you killing people, just don't fuck anyone. That's a no no, we gotta cancel your game.

I think the difference is how they are executed. (pardon the pun)
You can depict something, but glorifying it is a different matter. You can kill people in games because it's part of the narrative or part of the Milieu.

With hypersexualized women, it's ok when it's a depiction of that character. You know, femme-fatale use their sexuality. Dominatrix wear leather and wield whips. The goddess Aphrodite wants you to praise her beauty.

It's not ok when it's a do-right high-school heroine or Catholic nun. Putting them in revealing costumes is not part of their character. That's glorification. That's why people will cause a commotion when Supergirl is dress in anything skimpier than a cheerleader outfit; But Alien StarFire (comic version) can wear bikini armor and get overly frisky, because her people are uber passionate and also meant to contrast her emotions with Raven's stoic personality.
Teen titans (and a lot of other cap shit) themes usually worked in pairs.
Nature & Science, Water & Electricity, Authority & Anarchy;
that cartoons don't really touch on that.
Sorry, I started to derail.

For the past few days my internet has been really bad when I play games. Been super laggy and just refused to connect at some points. I've tried games on my PC and a Tablet and they both have been pretty bad.
But then I've done connection tests that say my internet it good:

Spoiler: connection test

I really don't know what's up but it's really annoying...

You shouldn't equate ping and speed to network performance. Packet loss is the probably the first thing you should be checking as with a well-designed network game will survive latencies up to 300ms (that's pretty much the baseline these days) and download/upload speed means nothing when each packet is less than 1500 bytes in size.

The primary cause of packet loss is that people insist on using WiFi - and worse yet some people are still on 2.4GHz WiFi.

Use ethernet if you can, if you can't then consider a power-line network. If you absolutely must use WiFi then make sure you're using the 5GHz band. If that's not available on your machine but your WiFi-AP definitely supports 5GHz then buy a 5GHz WiFi card/dongle and go via that.


If none of that applies to you, then blame the game.

TLDR; Speed-test for gaming you need a ping below 300ms and speeds of over 1500 bytes/sec (0.012 Mbps).

Something like that. I didn't buy xenoblade chronicles X because Nintendo decided to remove a boob slider at the last minute for the US/UK versions. Small stupidity pisses me off quickly. Japan is the most disgusting place on earth backed by facts. I think America can handle D cup breasts... I could understand if it were women shooting high velocity turds from their ass as a weapon. Only people like me would be okay with that.

However, Star Trek and EVE online is rated T, but they have boob sliders for women. I don't see why everyone is being such a bitch lately. Those games have no complaints.

Also because of the movie 'deadpool' America isn't afraid of rated R movies anymore. Thanks Deadpool. Hopefully America can go back to the 80's. Rated R was nothing back then, and kids loved it. RoboCop and Terminator.

Seems like it's gonna be hard to do anything without offending someone. As we all know I don't give a shit about offending anyone, and I never retract statements or apologize for my actions.

I can't stand people who say what they really feel, then apologize later. I just wanna gut them slowly and rip out their small intestine. Maybe play jump rope with it while they slowly die. Uhhh. Uhh.. Mmmmm ... Ohh, yeah... ( I'm getting excited ).

"I didn't mean it" popular people like to say. Yes you did, it's why you said it in the 1st place. Cowards, stand by your words. Death to back tracking cowards!

I love me :heart:

Fake confidence, i say. It takes a bigger person to admit they were wrong. Egos are stupid. Or is it pride? Also worthless.

This.

Opionions, everyone has them... I don't care for them myself. Facts are what I love. Having power is all that matters in this world. Everything else is nonsense.

Being the best & backing all said actions is the greatest feeling a real competitive man can have. That feeling of power without caring what others think of you. That feeling of not depending on others to accomplish goals. The reward of vast wealth from the hard independent work.

Elite of the Elite. Then again I don't expect much people to experience that in their lifetime.

Reminds me of my Star Trek Online days. Defeated the #1 PVP player on my first encounter. Everyone said I would die in zone chat. Called me a noob and everything. The chat went dead silent when I killed the best player 9 times in a row. I went on to being to the #1 player for 2 years straight (until the Delta Rising expansion ). RIP Star Trek PvP.

Of course it was 2 years of hell for everyone else. No one would fight me, even when I call them out publicly on the main forums. The freedom to say whatever I wanted because I knew I could defeat anyone. A true superior Elite.

Real life is no different. No one in their right mind would have a conflict with me. I'm psychotic and egotistical.

It's really fun.
I have some complaints. I think it's - for the most part - easier than the previous games. But it is fun.

I did notice the change in difficulty. I had trouble in areas with it anyway though 'cus I'm bad.

I'll disagree entirely on this.
This is the hardest Dark Souls game, just we have came so used to the From formula; we can see ambushes and enemy patterns before they even begin to telegraph, etc.

There are two things you could argue that makes Dark Souls 3 easier:

• It is more accessible; streamlined crafting and locations are more linear in progression.
• It does not have gimmicky / badly designed areas. (Primarily, Crystal Cave's unseen, tapering pathways. The Skeleton beasts that can attack you out of sight, and those toxic darters in Blight-town, and of course and that silly Anor Londo ledge dragonbow knockback thing they got going on.)

A lot of things also make DS3 harder; Estus is more limited until late game. Everything has been given that Bloodborn combat design; faster and harder hitting. Even the tutorial boss is harder.

Though I also agree on the complaints front. My main issues with it, are...

• Every boss has a second stage, and annoyingly, a lot of these bosses go from extremely easy to infuriatingly hard. Plus the fact that every boss essentially has this, leaves less in terms of the individuality of each boss.
• Not getting summoned for Covenants like Darkmoon, Farron Watchdog's etc.
• Invasions are like buses. You either get none, or two come along within the space of 10-30 seconds.
• NG+ is extremely disappointing. Upgraded Rings are not worth it alone.
• It is shorter.
• How many boss' second stage, is essentially Roll: The Rhythm Game.

I miss the cogwheels. :sad:

Man, my schedule is really killing me. Going to the hospital in the mornings, 10-hour study marathons, tomorrow I have an all-day course. I just thank the heavens for coffee and red bull.

Happy mother's day to any mothers here. I strongly doubt any exist here. Just young people trying to find their way in life ( and failing miserably according to what I read. Ha!)

However, I'm making my goddess Lyra breakfast and carrying her around the house all day today (Rest in peace to my back). As for my mother, I'll give her a Skype call and transfer cash via something.

Other than that, it's just another day.

I mean, most people would probably agree that I'm relatively successful. It's more of not meeting my own standards.
