Such....awful....insults.....

It is good to know that I finally broke the guy who always talked of "being mature and acting with respect."

This is it. I have given up. From this time onwards, Killa, you shall be Mr.DumbBunny.

Gotta love the hypocrisy.  ::)  Are you full of bullshit all of the time or just half of the time?

OK, let me rephrase that then in a more "politically correct" manner.

It would be easier to read and understand your posts if you kept them precise and straight to the point. You often use words, phrases, and sentences that add very little meaning to your overall point. In my opinion, your posts would be much better and easier to read without all of the useless words and phrases.

So do I, in one of the most demanding Universities of Europe in Arts. Is this relevant information, though? Not really. It's good to know we're both studying and enriching ourselves, though.


Everything is relative. On that basis, any and all dialogue is subject to the relativeness of what is or has been truly intended, therefore portrayed, in words. What does this mean? It means that for a complex concept to make sense, there needs to exist a coherent sense of belief and credence to it, that is neither illusive nor progressive, as otherwise, the relativeness of said concept will more likely be interpreted wrongly --depending on the needs of a certain occasion-- and simultaneously, its meaning sub-judged. In other words, and simply put, it is nowhere safe to assume what I say is, eventhough put out eloquently and intelligently, hideous and nonsensical (i.e:. Stupid). I am either smart or stupid. There is no way I can be smart and say stupid things simultaneously, as neither is it possible for stupid people to come out genuinely smart.

Discussions, however the circumstances, are often a brief dogma to which we can hardly remain abstained to. In said discussions, moods often suffer radical changes, depending on what is being said, read and interpreted by both individuals and that certainly plays an important role on the outcome of the discussion(s) at subject. Contrastingly, if met with maturity, serenity and receptivity, discussions are bound to healthy enrich yourself and stray away from negative outcomes, whatever those may be. With that in mind, how could it make any sense for me to try to elucidly (to knowledgeably attempt to) compromise one's perception as a scheme to turn the odds to my side? No. You are wrong to think so. I don't play smart, and indeed, I am very much human --In the sense that I too, do wrong, repent, commit and above all, interpret things wrongly--, therefore I am naturally at wrong somewhere down this discussion, as so are you.

What set us apart is the way we approach each other and in what term and level of severity we critic each other. Therein lies a big difference, one that I am incapable of breaking down nor the slightest bit. Whatever steers you to act that way is something I have absolutely no need or willingness to understand or even come in contact with. I've decided not to intrinsically lurk around such a pattern of actions and behaviours, albeit my ability to contain myself and distant from the moment, analytically. It is common sense to understand that such actions will, more often than otherwise, be far more consequent than one could ever expect. Consequence begets consequence, change begets change, heat begets heat, bliss begets bliss, and so on. No. I will not go there and act that way. That's not the right path for me. I've been there, done that, seen that and I've concluded that is not a lifestyle I am keen to take on.


I don't pretend anything. Ever. After all, I'm quite the blunt and honest lad, regardless of the circumstances and the inadequacy that might lie therein.

You need to quit this bullshit. You always have a rather simple point but the way you express it is WAY too long and drawn out. Get to the point, don't just sit around bullshitting for half of the paragraph. For this one, I honestly have no idea what your point even is.

Killa, if you do not come to defend your argument, yours will eventually collapse and loose viability to stand still, despite the level of nonsense that lies within.

I went to bed right after my last post. I have something called school that I must attend every weekday at 7:00am.

How can one be stupid and sound smart? On top of that, how is it that I would be able to sound credible and genuine at being smart, if I were to be stupid? Furthermore, how would have I managed to get accepted into one of the best University of Arts in Europe with both written and oral interviews on subjects I had never, up until then,  have to expose systematically in English? Could you possibility be imposing that the tutors were deceived elusively by my actings? No, they weren't, I'm afraid. That couldn't possibly happen, as it is not naturally within one's true character. Most ironically, even if that was to be the case, would that not mean that however possibly stupid I was to be, I would of still manage to intentionally outsmart all of my Tutors and Admission Staff, into thinking great of me?

I can not seem to work my head around your argument, nor to make any sense out of it. Miscommunication, perhaps --or maybe-- if I were to act according to your behaviour and logic, it is you the reason I can not understand you, for you -however stupid as you may be- manage to work your sentence structure and grammar application to a level far beyond an average's person understanding? Speaking of average, were you not the one to say there's no such thing as an average person...Lack of continuity in thought exposure is, more often than otherwise, a sign of pretentious behaviour. In other words, and as proven by none but your own lack of integrity and continuity, it is you whose smartness has been faked or is, at this present moment, fake. Revertible tables?

Be aware that I am not accusing you of being smart, stupid, pretentious, false or any of the subsequent adjectives that might have been undetermined through my words and manner of speech. No -I would rather not cross that line as I lack both the knowledge and the will to do so; as well as the courage to go against my principles, even when heated up. Throughout this post, hypothetically, I've shown you how tricky it might be to set standards and base accusations therefrom.


Let's not mention I am a self-taught Englishman and that my primary language is Portuguese...No, let's not go into that. It would be a rather relevant ironic fact to bring about, though, to be fairly honest.


tl;dr - Almost forgot to add this one up. Basically, keep posting pictures, unless Killa has anything of relevance to add up to my post.

I never said you were stupid. I said that you say idiotic things. Nowhere did I comment on your over all intelligence, just the intelligence that you display in your posts. Maybe you misinterpreted what I was saying or maybe I didn't do a good enough job explaining it.  I said that you say idiotic stuff, but the way you word it makes it sound very smart. This is probably due to the complexity of the sentences you use. A lot of people, including myself, speak and type a very basic English, using rather small sentences and basic ideas. You on the other had, are much more complex with your English. Even to the point what I think you know more about English than me. People usually aren't ready to read complex English and misinterpret a lot of what was said. This also works in your favor if you say something rather stupid or silly, because people will just skim through it and assume you are right because of the complexity of your sentences. I never tried to say you are bad at English, you are indeed VERY good.

Just concluding my point, I never meant that you were not smart, only that you post stupid things that sound smart due to the English you use.

Rational Explanation: Your picture was literally chocked up onto your "LMAO" post. It was edited in, and not originally posted. You should know by now that, in an active conversation, edits are often not paid attention to. Especially when a new page (11th) is created on top of that. It just adds up to the possibility of your edit not becoming utterly alerting or paid attention to, as it should have. Moreover, if we take a close look at the edit times, you will realise your edit came a minute after my post generated the 11th page. Then again, it is only natural that I was not aware of your picture being posted.
I actually started to edited the post before you made a new post.  You obviously posted while I was editing it. I don't compare times of random posts. I just assumed your post came after.

Word Usage: It is quite interesting how you have indeed, managed to use the following all in one sentence alone: "Fuck you; sucking dick; douche bag" --Is this the kind of behaviour you would like to see from others? Whereas I might have a slight problem with your display of intelectual throughout your posts, I am yet to become highly hostile and offensive towards yourself. The connotation given to "go ride a horse" has none but a literal sense to it. The denotation, however, as to the way you perceive meaning, might have been completely overtwisted -of which I am not responsible for. At any rate, your attitude has only contributed further to the already established, and dare I say quite accurately-proven, idea I have of your own self.


P.S:. More yummy cranky nonsensical hysterical and superfluously hideous display of Killa's attitude ---Yay!

As for the entire second half of your post, it is complete bullshit. Typical Dann being Dann. You hide your idiocy behind words and phrases that aren't often used to make yourself sound smart and try to confuse the average person. In other words, you say stupid shit but the way you word it makes you sound smart and makes people second guess themselves. I'm not saying that it is necessarily your fault that people don't understand you, but it sure works out in your favor.

DAYUUUUM GUUURRRL.
My sentiments exactly.

See, every time I say something along those lines this is the response I get. Every time dann acts like a douche, which is a lot, people just ignore it and act like it is not a problem. I'm sick of having to deal with his stupid shit every other day. That is not why I come to this site. he can't take a fucking joke and all of the sudden I'm the one out of line. Makes perfect sense.

Killa - If you're not going to contribute to the thread, I suggest you go ride a horse. They taste good and are of apparently big proportions too.

Fuck you. I posted a pic two posts ago. You probably missed it because you were too busy sucking dick and acting like a douche bag.

In this specific picture, yes, I was wearing sunglasses. We had just arrived home and neither me nor him took thought of taking the glasses off, due to distraction or laziness. I've taken pictures in the past where I do make this or that expression just for the fun of it. This wasn't one of those, that's all. Whether or not you believe me is irrelevant to the realism and validity of this fact. However, if you do feel like mocking me about posting an updated picture of myself in which I carelessly had glasses on, then I might have missed the purpose of this thread, completely; even when I was the one coming up with it. On a slightly more dramatic note, I might even been misunderstanding the whole concept in which e-relationships are based on, for that matter.


tl;dr - Fuck off for not having taken the time to read my post and replying accordingly.
Wow, way to blow a joke way out of proportion.

Oh so you just wear sunglasses indoors all the time then. Ok.

LMAO.  ;D ;D

Found another picture.


I'm thinking about getting my hair cut short, I'm not really sure though.

This is relatively ironic. I bad drawing or a first-take at Photoshop posters get an incredible amount of feedback, but I -whose experience is on a slightly more advanced level- get very little to nearly none. And to think it would be worth sharing a slice of my essence with my "mates" here...Ha!

People comment on what they want to, you have to deal with that. Nobody "owes" you feedback so don't be mad when you don't get it.

That aside,  I do not have the knowledge to comment on your work because frankly, I don't get it. I have no way of telling if it is good or bad. I simply do not have enough knowledge in art to tell whether something is of good artistic value or not. I simple say what i think looks cool.

Wow, I'm tempted to try it even though I rarely play RTS games. Incredible review as always.

honestly, if you get bored playing RTS games I would not recommend this to you. You spend most of the time without any action, just upgrading and building stuff. It is much slower than your average RTS game but it is also much deeper and much more rewarding.

Game Reviews / Sins of a Solar Empire
« on: Tuesday, October 05, 2010, 22:14:37 PM »


Platform: PC
Developer: Ironclad
Publisher: Stardock Games
Game type: RTS

    I have recently been playing a lot of Sins of a Solar Empire. Sins of a Solar Empire is based around the player capturing planets and creating huge armies. First off, let me say the scale of the game is incredible. It is HUGE. The best thing about it is that with its enormous scale, it has more customizations than most RTS games. There are 3 factions to play as. The TEF, Advent, and Vasari. I am only familiar with TEF but each faction has a different look while keeping the game fairly even for the most part. Each factions has it's advantages and disadvantages. For example, the TEF has the least expensive ships and can gain the most powerful economy, but later in the game their military power is weak compared to the other two factions.   There are a ton of upgrades to purchase. Whether you want to upgrade a part of your civilian infrastructure or upgrade your military, there are tons of options for each. You can build ship factories and research labs in the gravity wells of your controlled planets. You need a certain number of research labs to gain access to certain technology. For example, you need three military labs to gain access to the Javelin LRM frigate. A planet can only support so many structures so it is important to expand your empire. you can upgrade your planet's civilian infrastructure, emergency shelters, and the number of building slots available. You also receive taxes from your controlled planets as well as from minerals you mine from asteroids. There are metal asteroids and crystal asteroids as well as credits, which serves as the main currency for the game. Certain buildings and ships cost certain credits and resources.


The Civilian Tech tree. Each tab has a tech tree like this.

    A very important aspect to this game is the ability to build ships and get into battles with opposing armies. You have a frigate factory, where all of your regular ships will be built. There are a wide variety of ships to make ranging from scout frigates to carrier cruisers. Then there are capital ships, which are more heavily armored and have all types of support options. You will notice their very large size. There are different types of capital ships that do different things. You can have carrier capital ships that are primarily used for support or capital ships that are heavily armed for direct combat. Each capital ship has certain abilities that you can get with points the ship receives from being in battle. You really want a diverse army to be able to take down an opponent. Among the three factions, each faction has a different names as well as model for each ship.


A Large scenario map.

    The game does have some sort of a story but it is told through a series of singleplayer scenarios that I never really tried out. The game does have multiplayer but average games take a LONG time so it is not the best thing to play multiplayer unless you have a large amount of time to commit to a game. I mainly just play single player skirmished. You can have up to 10 players in a game and can make teams to face off against each other. However, the alliance system is very flawed. When you create teams you start friendly with your teammate and hostile against the enemies. Players in the game will give you missions to do to gain respect from them, but if you do not do them, you lose respect. Each missions has a time limit and this is a problem because sometimes they give you impossible missions. I one had my ally give me a mission to destroy 10 civilian structures within the first five minutes of the game, which is an impossible task in the 20 "game" minutes it gives you. I ended up losing too much respect and he turned hostile against me.  You can lock the teams when you play, which gets rid of the need for missions but completely kills the diplomatic part of the game. It especially sucks with the new Diplomacy expansion pack which focuses around peace and the inclusion of a diplomatic victory, you must have the teams unlocked. You still get the impossible missions and it is very annoying. That is really my only big complaint about the game.


large battle I ended up losing.

    It is really difficult to explain everything about this game because there is just so much in it. It is an RTS that is not only focused on war, although that is a major part of the game. It has very deep tech trees on top of upgradeable units and planets. I have played the hell out of this game and it has yet to get boring or repetitive. It is one of those games where you says "let me just do this and I'll quit," but you never want to.


A very large fleet.

OVERALL
Graphics 9/10
Sound 9/10
Gameplay 9/10
Controls 9/10

TOTAL- 9/10

I really recommend people try this game, there is a free demo that gives you a fairly large amount of playing time.
