Yet another GAF thread - I still haven't got over it :( (No spergfits allowed)

[SantaC]

this is another fine gem from MYE

The motion sensors don't use the sensor bar for anything
If its the case of faulty hardware then the game and its use of motion/IR controls have nothing to do with it.
Galaxy sold 11.72 million and there isn't a single known widespread issue regarding faulty tech or unresponsive controls.
GAF would know and be all over it the same way some PS4 sticks seem to be disintegrating on peoples hands.
Thats why its easier to assume that the error is on their part or on their particular faulty controllers/Wii or whatever. The game works fine.

I am sure he knocked on every house in the world to reassure no one was having problem with the crappy IR. He must be paid off by nintendo or something.

I just don't really like nu-atheists. Believing religion / religious belief is the cause of a cavalcade of societal ills is reductionist and (imo) anti-scientific. Though shockingly this lot tends to disregard the social sciences.

e: There's also the tangential issues like the prevalence of misogyny, endorsement of discrimination (I'm reminded of Dawkins saying on Twitter that a British Muslim journalist shouldn't be allowed to be a journalist because he was a theist) and unsavory things like colonialism apologia.

r/atheism and the like are to me the epitome of "you're not wrong, you're just an asshole", even if I share the core lack of belief.

To me it's much more interesting and important to discuss the ideas than to worry about labelling them is all.

You come to this realization after we've wasted time finding out that you're not talking about the same thing? Fixed terms and shared definitions are pretty damned useful if it comes to debates, or simple discussions. Kind of essential, even.

Back at one of the colleges I fucked up at, my roomate was a self defined atheist. I say defined, because it's almost as being atheist defined his entire being/personality. He wanted you to know he was one, that he didn't believe in god and neither should you. For he would try and convince you.

We went to a Catholic college and so we had religion classes. He was so adamant in these classes to prove how right he was, how there was no god. He wanted to prove that everyone who believed in GoD was stupid.

[Himu]

was that person atramental

[Phoenix Dark]

Is there a god? Who knows. I lol @ athiests who are 100% convinced there isn't a god, despite having no evidence to back that claim up.

I'm agnostic. Don't give a shit.

Fair point. Idk man, I'm a moody dudey right now. Think I should probably give forums a second until I get my head right.

His mother worked at the college, so he got a deal. That's why he was there. That and so he could prove everyone how wrong they were.

I've never engaged an argument on theology in real life. I just don't get why people do that.

[tiesto]

It's interesting that gaffots refuse to accept the possibility that the plane disappeared out of nowhere, yet they're so militantly confident that the universe appeared from nothing

It's weird how the Bore is seemingly so anti-athiest.

I wouldn't say that. Its just that making fun of fundamentalist godbotherers is played out and making fun of r/atheism neogaf type cornballs is much more satisfying.

Speak for yourself, I can never get tired of making fun of the holy rollers...

I'm agnostic myself, but I'm not at all a fan of organized religion. Causes much more harm than good IMO.

Intense and deep meditation?

What do my eyes say about me? Y'know besides me having a potential mental breakdown on shrooms?

[benjipwns]

The eighteenth century French philosopher Denis Diderot, when accused of being an atheist, replied that he simply did not care whether God existed or not. In response to Voltaire, he wrote: "It is very important not to mistake hemlock for parsley; but not at all so to believe or not in God.

He's extremely sensitive to any criticism of Ninendo. It's pathetic. He's one of the worst Nintendo fanboys on the site, which is saying a lot.

Yup. MYE is a terrible Ninthing/Zeldafig. I keep giving him the benefit of doubt because I enjoy seeing him rustle ND/Sonyfigs' jimmies, but he keeps falling flat with his abrasiveness and zero humor. Like, gimme something to work with, breh.

[Trent Dole]

Skyward Sword. Badly controlling fetch quest fest. If it didn't have the Zelda name would people like it half as much?

[Raban]

Yeah but at least Darksiders wasn't half-bad at streamlining the Zelda formula, and the combat was certainly a lot more interesting.

[tiesto]

I'd say the former. Pretentious athiests aren't the ones assassinating abortion doctors, protesting gay marriage at military funerals, trying to get their homophobic/anti-abortion/creationist dogma taught in public schools and followed by state governments...

So you consider being pretentious equal in your mind to all of the above?

[Shadow Mod]

Believe in god or don't believe in god but there sure are an actual host of real problems we can solve that we aren't. Other real moral and philosophical hostilities that prevent a more decent society.

It's not the pretentiousness aspect or the atheist aspect, it's the "defining part of personality" aspect.

[Rufus]

The only thing worse than a militant atheist or a religious zealot is people who are arguing definitions and you can tell it's a thinly veiled way of defending their own beliefs, but they totally don't care cause it's totally whatever.

It's not whatever, it's (at least in my case) totally been there done that, fuck me if I'm retreading that ground again, it never leads anywhere anyway, so whatever.

That part was supposed to sarcasm, where the fact that sarcasm doesn't translate well online rears it's ugly head again.

My point is, everybody who discusses it seems to care a little more than they act like and it always comes off as defending themselves. When you really don't have to.

To clarify, I didn't mean to parrot whatever tone you implied with the "whatever" thing.

what kind of cactivities do you partake in when on shrooms?

[Atramental]

Fire... walk with me... 

edit: I swear, if you guys met me in real life I wouldn't come off as crazy as I do online. Most of the time I'm just playing up my nutso persona to get likes. 

[Trent Dole]

They'd probably like it *more*, actually.  Think about the praise people have for shit like Darksiders.

Eeeew, Darksiders.

[CatsCatsCats]

Real talk: every human being should try shrooms out in secluded nature at least once

Nah. Most people clearly aren't able to handle that shit, period.

You know what, I'll back pedal twice in a day. *Every mentally stable human being should do as I said

[CatsCatsCats]

what kind of cactivities do you partake in when on shrooms?

Staring at stars and plants and other nature things

[CatsCatsCats]

My 1/8 Polynesian and 1/16 Cherokee comes out when I'm out in the high desert trippin on shrooms. I become one with nature.

[Raban]

Yeah but at least Darksiders wasn't half-bad at streamlining the Zelda formula, and the combat was certainly a lot more interesting.

Yeah, but come on, if Skyward Sword were an off-brand game people would be referring to it as a better Zelda than Nintendo's recent Zelda games etc.  *Especially* if not being a Zelda game meant it was on non-Nintendo consoles.  One of the main reasons why Skyward Sword is disappointing is because it's being held to the once-high standard of the series.  If someone came out with that shit out of nowhere?  Fff, people would be falling all over themselves gushing over it.

I dunno, an action-adventure game with as much dialog as Skyward Sword with no voice-acting would get slaughtered critically. I actually think it was to the game's benefit that it had the Zelda name on it. I can't see any other reason why so many people were lapping up the awful, grind-centric aspects added to the game that were hailed as "breaking the series' mold".

[nudemacusers]

what kind of cactivities do you partake in when on shrooms?

wander busy malls, casually interact with law enforcement, eat at denny's, and  talk to strangers. typical cactivities, really, you just get a new appreciation for them.

[headwalk]

well once we get into intentions, it's just a collision of egos anyway. this extends way beyond religion.

nobody wants to be wrong. they want new, loud and blindingly visible ways to be right.
