[QUOTE=greeley;49726141]No, not "I'd like to see you better" but if they could come up with a better idea and stop bitching about how shit something is without thinking of how it could be better. Like a TV show that is following on from the original, if somebody is bitching that the storyline is shit but yet they can't think of what a better storyline could be, then i believe they should stop bitching. The writers tried an approach, it might have worked for other people but not you.
TLDR: What i mean is "don't comment unless you come up with something constructive that could help."[/QUOTE]
but "i'd like to see you write a better plot" and "i'd like to see you think of a better plot" are basically the same thing??

See i don't see it like that.
Because somebody can be creative with ideas, but they fall flat when they write it out or they haven't possibly fully thought it through with the written aspect. What im saying is they haven't fully thought through the amount of stuff that goes into writing a script or scope for a game/tv series/movie concept from start to end.
Like its easy to say "Oh that film would have been so much better if that person did that cool thing" but yet they didn't think about the bit before like "How did they learn to do that, does it really fit into the style of the whole thing, will it conflict with things further along the story or before the story etc..."
[QUOTE=The bird Man;49722314]It was all a hoax[/QUOTE]
The Holocaust has been greatly exaggerated by the allied powers.
Millions of people still died and Hitler still intentionally tried purge certain groups from his country but shit like human-skin lamps just has no basis.

i use the same logic to think the opposite
i think it's easier for the average viewer to recognize mistakes than it is for them to fix them. movie feels too long? pacing problem. but "how would you fix the pacing in this feature length movie" is quite the escalation because you have to take into account all of the millions of other aspects of storytelling/filmmaking. but that doesn't mean there isn't a pacing problem, know what i'm saying?

Ok i get you, and you're right. Its difficult to obviously have a happy medium and there will always be bitching by people regardless of what it is.
I think Rayman 2 has shit mechanics as a platformer and its only saving grace is the atmosphere and visuals.
I played this game a shitton as a kid but I never liked the gameplay, only the cool locations and art style.
Post quality on Facepunch is better than it's ever been because of the aging userbase.
I'm serious, go look at any 2009-era thread. The post quality isn't that great at all.

I wouldn't really say that, I mean there is that "WAYT" which is pretty much a breeding ground for shit posting experts and every now and then they leak into other threads.
The delusion that being into traps and prison rape is somehow about social status and not homosexuality is fucking stupid.
If you and the other person share the same set of chromosomes, it is homosexual.

could you provide a little more context for this? what do you mean by social status?
the original teen titans had some cool moments but overall was an overly dramatic, "omg so serious!!" cartoon
i don't get why people flip their lid about it, it was only amazing if you watched it as an 11 year old. teen titans go didn't ruin anything honestly. the original show is still there.
and that's what i don't get about the new powerpuff girls, everyone says it's bad because it doesn't look like the old one, and that they didn't use the original VAs. you can watch the old one! it still exists and it's on netflix, i'm pretty sure

I don't think people were talking about how it didn't look like the old one, just some of the newer designed characters clash with the artstyle of the old ones.
dogs are stupid, hyper, and do nothing but bark and shit in the house.

This is literally objectively false

like not a single word of how you described dogs is true
You probably shouldn't make blanket statements about [I]an entire species,[/I] especially one as genetically diverse as dogs.
[QUOTE=A Sock Accnt;49733933]dogs are stupid, hyper, and do nothing but bark and shit in the house.[/QUOTE]
sounds like you're just shit at dog ownership
Anything can be stupid/hyper/etc if they are taught and enabled to be so, doesn't matter was it dog or any animal or even human.
dogs are the best animal species on earth
they are happy, friendly, energetic, active, helpful, and practical as hell in a variety of ways
like if dogs aren't your thing thats your opinion but calling them useless is like calling a screwdriver with replaceable heads useless

I wonder why people get so worked up over whether that shit makes them gay or not
Just accept that sexuality is a spectrum and that you're somewhere on that spectrum and omg people are attractive

it's funny though because I can safely say as a straight guy that nothing is gayer than a group of straight guys

Don't tell them about XX male syndrome, or they'll have finally found the perfect excuse to do gay things without being gay. Rather than [URL="http://www.queerty.com/more-and-more-straight-guys-are-giving-each-other-bro-jobs-20150803"]the usual [/URL]

Seriously, is it just me or do the people who complain most about dogs always tend to be the ones who never do anything with their dog and just kind of expect to buy it and have it just exist around when you want to pet something?
It's like they've never taken seriously the message "owning a pet is a major responsibility", because it actually is. You have an actual living creature that is yours now, you have to actually take care of it and in the case of dogs, train it. And you have to put up with things that you might not like like barking, because again, this is an actual creature, it's not there to be something cute you pet now and then.
And dogs aren't stupid. I mean, all animals tend to be dumbass goofballs in an endearing way, but if you mean actually dumb, there are a number of dogs out there that can prove you wrong. Seeing eye dogs, police dogs, hell, dogs have been used on farms for hundreds of years. And they can be trained to do a [I]looooooot[/I] of shit, including not barking. Maybe if your dog is 'stupid' and it can't do anything, maybe it's because you didn't train it to? Which is what I'm guessing if your dog is shitting in the house, since that probably means you haven't even bothered to potty train it.

You know, animals (thus dogs and cats too) have different personalities like you. They are [I]lifetime friends[/I] if you treat them well.

I think that everyone has the large potential to be bisexual mainly because it seems to have been so common in earlier civilizations. It seems like we just have this mental barriers, and they weren't put there by us. They were put there because people like to categorize, and at early ages it's not very apparent that we have the potential to have homosexual urges. We don't even entertain the thought. This forms a cycle of reaffirmation that we're straight, when in reality we're just letting ourselves only be straight.

I think insects are stupid.
I think most insects are gross. I'm ok with a few of them.
Like Mantis and Grasshoppers are all dandy on my book.
Dawn of War 3's heroes should play out as a third person shooter, with the rest of the game being an RTS (that's assuming the game ever happens at all.)

I think i'm a bit biased due to having played Warshift recently, an early access RTS with a pretty good mech sim built into it
