[QUOTE=Sector 7;50110074]"profiting off of a community and then refusing to put back in your fair share" is absolutely the wrong thing to do, illegal or not. If the law is what defines your morality, you are a psychopath. Not a single person today has become rich on their own; there is a vast and global infrastructure of roads, markets, money systems, ecologies and societies which they exploit to gain wealth. These systems require money to build and maintain. A person who doesn't pay their share of taxes is a leech.[/QUOTE] What is my 'fair share'? How do you define that?

[QUOTE=sb27;50110123]What is my 'fair share'? How do you define that?[/QUOTE] Tax rates and legal exemptions are set by the democratically elected government. That is your fair share, determined by the representatives that you elected. Because taxes are complicated, it is sometimes possible to find loopholes which, while not explicitly forbidden, are clearly a violation of the spirit of the institution and which negatively affect your country's financial health.

There is more than 1 good Matrix movie. In fact there are 4 good Matrix movies.

[QUOTE=ejonkou;50098485]Legend of Zelda is a terrible, overrated franchise with horrible gameplay. I have no clue why so many like LoZ.[/QUOTE] I think part of it is that there just aren't many games that go for what Zelda goes for. I wanna say [I]most[/I] fantasy series these days are firmly for adults, with blood, gore, swearing, and grim depictions of fantasy worlds that are very Game of Thrones influenced. Alternatively, they're Tolkien rip-offs. Which, as a side note, Zelda is pretty unique among the fantasy genre because it has so many elements that are unique to Zelda or at least depicted in a way that sets them apart. Like, I know about treeants but I've never seen shit like the Great Deku Tree, or Gorons. Anyway, I'm more interested than most in games, and if you were to ask me "Quick - what's a colorful lighthearted fantasy swordfighting game that's more concerned with a sense of adventure and wonder that appeals to any age than anything else", I couldn't name anything BUT Zelda. Hell, the first game unless you had the manual had almost no context and it was just about delving in to dungeons and going on adventures and shit and I think that's really easy to relate to, really timeless, and will always have a place, and yet nobody (besides some inevitable indie game a million people tops know about) is doing it. I don't even think it's Zelda so much as it is that Zelda fills a gap for people that nobody else will, but the fact that game after game they offer an immediately familiar world with immediately familiar characters, story elements, and basic plotline makes it very easy to slip in to. I kind of feel that way about all Nintendo games really. They are formulaic as hell, Zelda maybe more than any of them, but a lot of them offer something no one else is with games that require so much less commitment. You ever get tired of playing games where you're being asked to commit to 80 hours of this finely crafted world with 8 million fucking things in it and you're just like "I don't want to get to know anything new or any of that shit I just want to play a game ass game"? Well, tons of games are like that, but I still think Nintendo's the fuckin' frontrunner of who-needs-context fun. I do fault Nintendo for doing the same thing [I]over and over and over[/I] and getting a free pass when we criticize games like CoD for the same shit, but it's hard to deny that the same thing they're doing over and over and over remains fun even after decades. I've only ever played Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Windwaker, and Twilight Princess, and I was never the biggest fan of the series and hell, I don't even think I've ever finished a Zelda game once. But they just do something special that endears even passing fans like me. Plus, something is just nostalgic about the entire series, even the ones I was literally not alive to play, like the first one. And adding in that healthy dose of nostalgia I think helps to make it like a home in gaming for a lot of people.

Some songs sound better when you [I]don't[/I] understand the lyrics.

Pvp in rpgs is a mistake. Why should numbers matter more than skill?

[QUOTE=Sharker;50111548]Pvp in rpgs is a mistake. Why should numbers matter more than skill?[/QUOTE] There's the character building aspect that can work out very well in matches with multiple players, such as world of Warcraft during certain periods. Impossible to balance, but thats not necessarily the most important aspect.

[QUOTE=xZippy;50111031]Some songs sound better when you [I]don't[/I] understand the lyrics.[/QUOTE] This is me on a Rammstein binge right now

any candy or desserts that aren't chocolate suck

Most of the time I can't even listen to a song with lyrics, because I look too far into the meaning of them and forget to listen to the song.

[QUOTE=Sharker;50111548]Pvp in rpgs is a mistake. Why should numbers matter more than skill?[/QUOTE] RPG's are about character skill, not player skill.

[QUOTE=Sharker;50111548]Pvp in rpgs is a mistake. Why should numbers matter more than skill?[/QUOTE] It makes sense if it's part of a larger sandbox world (e.g. EVE Online) but if it's just hopping into an arena to 1v1 another character then yeah I don't really see the point.

[QUOTE=UnidentifiedFlyingTard;50112541]RPG's are about character skill, not player skill.[/QUOTE] Which is bad for pvp? Unless you enjoy being steamrolled by people with better stats and gear than you.

WRONG THREAD!

I can see how that's an unpopular opinion.

[QUOTE=kilerabv;50113310]I can see how that's an unpopular opinion.[/QUOTE] Wrong thread :shh:

[QUOTE=ColdAsRice;50112457]This is me on a Rammstein binge right now[/QUOTE] quite a lot of rammstein's lyrics are pretty cool though, see spieluhr for example

[QUOTE=RichyZ;50111678]The silver sword combat theme in the witcher 3 sounds awesome as someone who cant speak polish, but apparently the lyrics are about marriage or something[/QUOTE] All of the combat themes in Witcher 3 that have actual lyrics are folk songs from various parts of Eastern Europe. The theme you're thinking about is "Steel for Humans" because "Silver for Monsters" doesn't have word lyrics. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qck-tdJFe6o]Steel for Humans[/url] is a Bulgarian wedding (or festival or something) song, and [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUCgYaUGdNA&nohtml5=False]Song of the Sword-dancer[/url] is a Belarussian folk song.

A couple mods on this forum are so buttfuckingly terrible that there was no reason whatsoever to make them mod in the first place.

Cooking is very easy and simple. As long as you're not making some ultra fucking complex megadish that belongs in a five star restaurant, there's plenty you can make at home that requires little to no prior knowledge of cooking. Often it's literally just an assembly job then put on stove or in oven or whatever. If you genuinely, actually can't cook [I]something[/I] worth eating, I think you've got to have something wrong with you.

Extremely dry, crispy bacon is the worst kind.

I never like "stoner shows". The kind of shows that people say you have to be high or drunk to enjoy. Maybe it's because I don't drink or do drugs, but I don't see the appeal.

Like it's saying it came from the nonexistant drugs rather than the creative mind of the person who made it.
