I believe Trump is a troll. When a troll is able to gain as much influence over the democratic process as he has, it is a sign things have ceased to function a long, long time ago.

If I could have one wish is if every thing that has happened to me has not happened. If I could like go back when I was a kid, I would devote myself to learning languages. Learning new things is fun. Talking to people is fun. Being the dude who just tells what the other person said. I do not know what could be better.
I prefer Brawlhalla over Super Smash Bros
fighting games suck including smesh
they're all exhaustingly repetitive and they're caustic to friendships

I've solidified more friendships over smash than I've ever lost (which is zero, because my friends and I don't get petty over games like that)
I can enjoy pretty much any game genre so long as the game is either well made or just something I personally enjoy.
D.Va is probably the most unpleasant video game character I can think of. I don't understand how people can like her, let alone not hate her.

Actually, this might be a common opinion here, but I haven't read this thread in like two months.

Yep. She's more of the more transparent attempts at waifu bait, has a really grating voice and personality, and is probably the weakest character ingame.

Throw Tracer in that mix too. I've never been so incredibly annoyed at a characters voice, it's like audible torture.
i dont really understand why people go out of their way to hate a music genre. im capable of listening to pretty much anything if it sounds nice. i mostly judge things for the techniques behind it, in that sense. a good example is football. i dont really care about the game itself, i dont give a shit who wins, as long as both teams play well, ill enjoy watching it. back to music, the same applies there. i dont care who plays what instrument, i just enjoy the music for the impressive techniques behind it. its crazy to me that through a couple of seemingly random and disconnected sounds people are able to combine it and create a rythm, a melody and all that. mongolian throat singing is neat for that reason because the only instrukent they have is their voice i mean wow
i don't see the appeal in anal at all

I've personally been that kind of guy who judges every song on its own merits instead of blindly liking or disliking songs just because I liked or disliked the genre, artist, or group that performed them. Blindly disliking something for the sake of disliking it is kind of dumb under any circumstance, but then we cant expect folks to not have some biases.
The threads in SH that are just "someone in someplace got murdered" are pointless.

I don't care for Overwatch it's good but it's being treated like the second coming of chirst and having played it i dont see why.
And all the charecters looks like they belong in their own seperate games, not one together.
I normally wouldnt care but i keep getting spammed by friends to go get it and 'i'm not interested' doesnt seem to get through.

IIRC the single bannana packaging was to 'help' stop brazillian wandering spiders from getting through, also scorpions and some other deadly hell spawn.
there's no excuse for that damn orange though

Like it or not: Political violence has and will probably continue to be effective if used in the "right way" with enough luck and "smartly applied force." This goes for both sides of the political spectrum.
Think of how different things would've been if Hitler's brownshirts did not not go around intimidating politicians and voters.
Think of how different things would've been if all kinds of leftists did not show neo-nazis they weren't welcome in various cities around the western hemisphere.
Look at how effective violent anti-abortionists have been in their pursuit of denying women the right to self-autonomy alongside the "peaceful" deception and manipulation of right-wing politicians.
Look at how John Brown's raid riled people the fuck up and put fear in the hearts of slave owners.
Look at how devestating the Homestead Strike were for unions.
Look at how the American Nazi Party became a shadow of itself after George Rockwell got shot down.
What I'm saying in short is that sometimes political violence can work despite its well-earned reputation of being vile and evil. Sadly, no amount of liberal platitudes can change this fact because reality can be a real bitch sometimes.
The entire "culture" around Twitch is so cringeworthy and terrible in general. Almost every streamer has a horrible gimmick and it's always some sort of "WELCOME TO THE BROFORCE ARMY XDXD:)" whenever someone subscribes. I'm watching a streamer, one of the few streaming Hearts of Iron 4. He seems like a cool dude, but then whenever someone subscribes he has some sort of pirate gimmick where he's wearing a jolly rogers hat and the you are a pirate meme song comes on and he starts talking with a broken, "pirate accent". I feel like they alienate random people who are not in to old memes, 9gag or are 14 years old.
I just want to watch the game. If you provide informative, interesting commentary it's just the cherry on top. People who have a popup, maybe a low key sound notification and say a simple thank you are fine, but don't go all over the top with it.

I might be a little biased here (see avatar) but I think that just completely overblowing the twitch culture to the point of absurdity is hilarious, streams that are just unhinged chaos are great

counterpoint: political violence is a symptom of change and not a cause
People seriously need to get over furries and anime fans (or weaboos or whatever) already. I've been hearing people bitch about them for like 10 years or longer now, and look at that, they're still here and show no signs of vanishing. They're not going away, and honestly they're not even that annoying to begin with since they keep pretty much entirely to themselves and do their own thing. If seeing someone with an anime avatar actually upsets you or makes you think less of them, and you're still going on about how terrible they are after all this time, you're more annoying to me than they are by far.

People on this website get far more upset about anime than they have any reason to be.

BioShock 2 is a good game if you enjoy lazy/unfocused game design and shooting airsoft guns
[QUOTE=Primigenes;50459982]Whenever people on the Internet try to goad me or anyone else into thinking jokes about 9/11 are the funniest shit and totally alright I am physically disgusted.[/QUOTE]
there is nothing wrong with making 9/11 jokes
the plane truth is that most of them just aren't funny; they count on on being edgy instead of being clever.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;50460472]its like the most worn out meme ever
i mean do what u want idc but at this point theres no shock to it, its like somebody making dead baby jokes[/QUOTE]
this is one of my favorite jokes ever
[media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkSMSbFV_q0[/media]
in true Norm fashion it's got a false start and a misleading delivery
but the punchline isn't that 9/11 is offensive, the punchline is that [sp]northern canada is one of the safest places on Earth, and his family lives there anyway, so it wouldn't have even come as a surprise[/sp]
your problem is not with 9/11 jokes, your problem is with bad jokes and people who don't have tact

Smash and MK bring people together, Street Fighter tears them apart.

Pretty much this. I wonder why we have a sub-thread in the Fast Threads when we should have one in the General discussion where all of the TV and movie sub-threads are.
Speaking of movies, I liked The Wolverine, and Hugh Jackman plays an amazing Wolverine.
