[QUOTE=utilitron;46321802]No. You are using a plural in a singular case. Being satisfied indciates you no longer have a need, want or desire for whatever the specific thing that you needed, wanted or desired..[/QUOTE] This is nitty. [QUOTE]No, satisfied is not a global state of being, unless directly specified as the subject.[/QUOTE] Exactly. I'm satisfied with rust. [QUOTE]But there are 2 aspects at play here, there is the gameplay aspect, and there is the customization aspect. You can be satisfied with the way the game is played and still want to modify it.[/QUOTE] Goal post shift. You can not say you are satisfied with rust then pretend you are talking another specific aspect of the game at a later time. If you are not satisfied with the in game content alone and want to get more stuff to customize, you are not satisfied with rust, you are only partially satisfied. [QUOTE]By saying adding the ability to customize your experience makes it bad design, you would then have to include any other modification [B]from outside the created game environment[/B] [B](FYP). [/B][/QUOTE] That is correct with my amendment. [QUOTE]The fact they are adding an API to customize individual servers means the game was badly designed, the fact you can change settings would mean the settings were badly designed. [/QUOTE] No, the rules and mechanics of the game allow you to adjust the settings. This kind of getting into the weeds. [QUOTE]Customizability is actually a caveat of [B]good[/B] design.[/QUOTE] If i have to go outside the game to customize the game.... [QUOTE]Wow, so you think because some test showed you have a high level of understanding of vocabulary and comprehension means you are somehow the end-all be-all here?[/QUOTE] Wow, so you and intrepidenigm post a bunch of stupid arguments then claim I'm wrong like you are both the end-all be-all in this here? . [QUOTE]I have proved your arguments wrong using your own stated definitions.[/QUOTE] Wow, so you and intrepidenigm post a bunch of stupid arguments then claim I'm wrong like you are both the end-all be-all in this here? You only think you've proven me wrong. Your preception of whats "wrong" and whats "correct" is something to be desired. ----------- . [editline]24th October 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=intrepidenigm;46322071]Um, okay. That doesn't mean anything to me in the context of this argument, even if it is true. I have my own "authority" resume that I could certainly type out too, but I won't, because it doesn't actually matter. I'm starting to think you're actually a troll. "I'm right and your wrong."* Really? You type something as ghastly as that and still think you have some greater authority in the subjects you mentioned? You're either a troll or delusional. *For those who didn't understand why that statement was so horrible in the context of this discussion, it's because billy79 committed the cardinal sin of using 'your' where he should have used 'you're'.[/QUOTE] Stop stone walling...or STFU. Yes or no, when you are satisfied, all your needs, desires and wants have been met. **for those of you who do not understand, my grammar and spelling is shit and has no relevance to the issue of context and disucssion. My aguments are entirely coherent. (entirely being added for ephasis)
[QUOTE=billy79;46322102]Wow, so you and intrepidenigm post a bunch of stupid arguments then claim I'm wrong like you are both the end-all be-all in this here?[/QUOTE] No. Only you have created that impression throughout this thread, and especially when you cited your "authority" as a reason for why you are right and we are wrong (which, incidentally, is an argument flaw). Utilitron (correct me if I'm wrong) and I have let our arguments stand for themselves, and we cite only them as to why we are right and you are wrong.

I can say, in terms of eating cheesecake, I'm satisfied. I'll have that piece of chocolate cake though. I can also say, in terms of playing Rust (to be more specific, playing Rust in-game) I'm satisfied. I'll go buy something on the Steam Market though.

[editline]24th October 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=intrepidenigm;46322316] What's not correct?[/QUOTE] As I told you before, being satisfied about something indicates all your needs, wants and desires have been met concerning that paricular concept/object. You disagree with this definition, which is the commonly accepted meaning of satisfied. Common synomnyms. Fufilled, contented, completed, etc, etc. Satisfied the requirements....means there are no more requirements.
[QUOTE=billy79;46322321]You ever hear of circular reasoning? You are deicding that your arguments have met the criteria of it being proven.[/QUOTE] Yes, I have decided that. It's my opinion. Saying "I have proven you wrong" implies that it is what I think, not an objective fact.

[QUOTE=billy79;46322435]Has no relevance to the context we are dicussing. We are dicussing satisfcation levels. The top being satisfied, the bottom being not satisfied.[/QUOTE] It has always been relevant...lol. You just refused to consider it until now for some unknown reason. If Rust satisfies me in the sense that it causes me to be happy or pleased, then it has satisfied me, regardless of other needs or desires. That is an acceptable way to use those words.
what a dick size comparing contest this has become. seriously, i'm all for a logical debate, but this is becoming pathetic guys. not only are you no longer on topic, you have spent the last 3 days spamming this thread with opinionated crap about the way your "opponent" has structured his argument. nobody cares how "smart" you are. proof is not as subjective as "i said this, and i am right". it requires testing, experimentation. and even then it is just a proposal/hypothesis about a specific situation.

If I've satisfied the requirements and come to find out there are more, I've no longer satisfied the requirements, I've only thought I did.

Who says you can't be satisfied if you still want something else? That is only one way to use that word. Read my example again, it illustrates my point rather well.
FYI: You do not tell a fighter "i'm going to kick your ass", just as you do not tell a guy who likes to debate, he's "wrong". If, intrepidenigm wanted to simply disagree with an opinion, he should say that instead of saying stuff like "you are wrong" or "I've proven you wrong". It seems this is what he intended to do in the first place and has backed himself in a corner where he is contridicting himself and making some foolish arugments. If you say I'm wrong and use poor logic, I'm going to troll the fuck out of you.

If you played rust and came away with the imrpession that you were satisfied and later found out that something existed that would increase your satisfaction level, you were never satisfied but maybe partially satisfied even though with all the available information you had at the time it seemed to indicate you were. My use of "requirements" in my previous post demonstrates this. You would have to qualify your satisfaction level...i.e. "with what we had yesterday, I [I]was[/I] satisfied (which means you are not satisfied anymore given new the information) but knowing this, its going to make it so much better" .

Again, if Rust caused me to feel happy or pleased, then it satisfied me. It doesn't have to be partial, it can just be 'satisfied.' Anything that happens later will not change that fact. Even when I want to go to the market, in that moment, I can still feel as if Rust satisfies me, because it causes me to feel happy or pleased. I can use the word that way according to the definition of says one is satisfied if one has been made happy or pleased by something.
[QUOTE=intrepidenigm;46322691]Just because you might end up being more satisfied later, does NOT mean that you were not satisfied to begin with.[/QUOTE] I have satisfied the requirements. I find out later there are more requirements. Are the requirements still satisfied? Were they ever satisfied? This first sentence is an incorrect statement becasue there are more unknown requirements. Comically, intrepidenigm would insist the requirements were satsified upon learning of the new requirments, despite the requirement not being satisfied. You continue to equivocate "satisfying, satisfy" with satisfied. I played rust last night and it was a satisfying expereince. It does not mean I was satisfied.
Guys Can you carry on your Little disagreement elsewhere? This thread has gone way off track with you trying to prove the other one wrong…..I don’t know about anyone else but I don’t really care if you are satisfied or not and I don’t care how much or how little you are satisfied. I will be really satisfied when this thread gets back to the subject the OP started. Thanks
If the mods want me to shut up, I will shut up about, otherwise you can post in another one of the several threads created on this topic if you are not interested in following our childish antics. FYI: majority of the post in this thread is only a few guys and despite it not being seemingly obvious we are into the nitty gritty of some specfiic dialouge in regards to the prints dicussion.

I would not insist upon what you are suggesting that I would. However, satisfied can also be used the way that I have described previously. If you played Rust last night and it was a satisfying experience, you are correct to say that it does not mean that you were satisfied. But it COULD mean that you were satisfied according to acceptable definitions of that word. Therefore, I can reasonably use this example: "If Rust satisfies me in the sense that it causes me to be happy or pleased, then it has satisfied me, regardless of other needs or desires. That is an acceptable way to use those words."
