If you were complaining about alignments, on the other hand, then you'd have a much stronger case, IMO.
I would be if we were talking about that, but we weren't.
"If you were making a completely different argument in an utterly different discussion that nobody's having right now, you'd have a much stronger case." Uh. Thanks? WTF man.
-
It's two icons. When the weapon one blinks, you hit D. When the enemy blinks, you hit A. If you hit the key too late you either do less damage, or take damage.
That's the ENTIRE GAME RIGHT THERE. THAT'S ALL THERE IS.
Which makes it perfect for a tablet or smart phone.

Why would I play that instead of Bejeweled?
I'm sorry there's nothing about having a touchscreen that makes me want to play that stupid not-game. "Green light, push button. Red light, push other button." You could train a fucking pigeon to do that, and it wouldn't even take long.

I was giving you a dignified way out of your loser argument.
Your loss.

Ok fine I'm super idiot dummy man who's wrong about RPG stats, whatever. Now get the fuck out of my thread.

Ok. I wasn't claiming it was pure brilliance. Just that it was designed for touch controls and that graphics and sound were cool.

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUTUBE ANALYTICS IS SHOWING ME!
Seriously, why is that one Dreamscapes 2 episode so popular? Even Tim doesn't understnad. Look at him shrugging in the preview image.
-
Fucking Tim.

TIL @BlakeyRat will enter a multiplayer-only game by himself and wander aimlessly wondering if there's something supposed to happen...
-
I won, so the strategy worked.
-
Did you pick up fights with first graders when you were 5th grader? That strategy too works.
-
-
That was an abrupt ending. One of the guys in the robes killed you ... I guess?
I'm sure you don't actually care, but the signs in the village are in Greek. The building with the electric meter (if that's what it is) is the Cafe Platani, and the sign on the building next to it says "FOR SALE."
-

Just knocked the character out, I actually recorded another hour but the puzzles were obtuse as shit and it's mostly wandering around aimlessly.
-
That was an abrupt ending.
It fit nicely with the setting though.
Just knocked the character out,
Did they steal your axe? I HOPE THEY DIDN'T STEAL YOUR AXE.
-
It's an adventure game, adventure game LAW is that each tool, NO MATTER HOW USEFUL can only be used once.
So yes, they did take the axe.

I don't like this game. I don't like this video. I'm posting it because I don't like making videos I don't post. Especially since I tossed like 15 of those yesterday. Posting shitty videos helps me feel productive.

A decent game when it shuts the fuck up and lets you play.

Edit: oh, ok
I'm thinking of doing a full let's play of those last two, because at least they have a genuinely funky art style to them.
-
Yeah I guess I could have mentioned that IN the video. But I didn't.

-
I'm a dick for making two videos about the same game?
Ok, whatever.
-
I'm a dick for making two videos about the same game?
No, but you're a Drax for thinking that's why he said you're a dick.
-
... I'm a dick for making a second video of the game without mentioning that I'd already made a first? I guess?
I'm stumped.
The insult's not very effective if I don't understand what's being insulted, exactly.
-
I'm a dick for making a second video of the game
I guess? I dunno, I was just trying to help you understand the complaint.
If that's what it was.
-
You're helping me understand what it was, but you don't know what it was?
Thanks. You've done your duty. Now please drown yourself in the nearest bucket.
-
You're helping me understand what it was, but you don't know what it was?
No, I knew what it was, the "I dunno" was sort of a shrug.
Thanks. You've done your duty.
Glad to help, old buddy! Just think, at this rate, in a couple decades you may learn to appreciate basic human decency, and you'll be able to blend in among us.
-
You probably don't remember this, but I re-watched your first video yesterday so I do:
you can avoid the hidden item minigames by playing a match-3 game and making the eyes-on-pyramid drop to the bottom of the screen. You get one hidden item per pyramid cleared. I think you can alternate between the two game modes too.
-
I'm a dick for making two videos about the same game?
Sorry for not providing context. Let's try again...
I'm thinking of doing a full let's play of those last two, because at least they have a genuinely funky art style to them.
Yeah I guess I could have mentioned that IN the video. But I didn't because that wouldn't be in line with my usual dick-ish-ness.
Does that help any?
-
You probably don't remember this, but I re-watched your first video yesterday so I do:
I remember that, I also remember the match-3 game takes longer and is more annoying than the hidden item puzzle. Still I should mention it because it's a nice feature.
-
How about instead of just quoting yourself over and over you actually explain what the hell you're talking about, or alternatively, get out of my thread and never come back?
Seriously, this shit is infuriating. And that it provides an anchor for FrostCat to attach his random Blakeyrat insults to is even worse.
For the record, no I have no idea what you're referring to, nor am I sure why you think I would considering you haven't explained it yet.
If you don't like my videos, if you think I'm a dick, here's a suggestion: go away.
-
you haven't explained it yet.
Sorry, I thought appending to your own apparent stream-of-consciousness wouldn't have needed explanation.
no I have no idea what you're referring to
I'll try to explain then.
This is an attempt at humor based on prior examples in this forum where other users would insert/delete portions of text in a quote in order to alter the intended meaning (or, to bring more attention to unintended meaning).Specifically, in this case you said you could have mentioned it (that you had made a prior video for this game) but didn't. I expanded your writing to read that it would not have followed your typical modus-operandi if you did. Sorry, modus-operandi in this case means "the particular way you normally do things".
If you don't like my videos
Never said that, dick.if you think I'm a dick, here's a suggestion: go away.
With that logic, you're certainly not following your own rules, so why should I?Does it blow your mind to think that someone can like another who they think is a dick?
Filed under: I probably need to revisit my interpretation of what "being a dick" means sometime...

Ok...

Here's where you lost me. How is not mentioning a previous video I did of the same game "being a dick"? Is that, like, a common belief that everybody has except me? I don't understand at all.
And if that's seriously all you meant, why didn't you just say so when I asked that in this post:
I'm a dick for making two videos about the same game?
WTF.
-
why didn't you just say so
Mentioned previously, I thought it was obvious.
How is not mentioning a previous video I did of the same game "being a dick"?
Just mentioned, perhaps I need to revisit my definition of "being a dick". Why are you repeating me now?I asked that in this post:
Your question "Am I a dick for making two videos about the same game?" was (for the exact interpretation of the question), no. Since you misunderstood my statement, I sought to clarify with what you said, in case the context of the statement was missed.
Clearly this wasn't enough.I'm sure responding "No, you missed the assertion" wouldn't have been any better though, so this conversation has been logged for further research.
WTF.
I'm still learning! Give me a break! My primary source of social interaction behavior templates is currently this forum.
I'd rather receive constructive criticism than dead-end "here's a suggestion: go away", since that would detract from my efforts at socializing.
-
Look.
Your assertion is that making a second video about a game without mentioning the first video makes me a dick. Right?
All I'm asking is: why? Why does that make me a dick? In a trillion years, why would you expect any human being other than yourself to just intuitively know doing that thing is being a dick? What is "dickish" even in the slightest about that?
I mean geez. I'm sick of being insulted on this forum, but I'm really sick of being insulted for reasons that could generously be described as gibberish.
OMG you typed the word "primary!" You're such a dick! Look, your avatar icon is greyscale! What a dick you are! Two vowels right next to each other in your user name? World's biggest dick here!
-
why?
From my general understanding, when making a continuation of something (be it a book, newspaper article, video, audio, whatever), it is common courtesy to mention or reference the previous instance at the beginning of said publication, in the event that the consumer may not have seen it. For instance, such a mention may have went something like this, "Last time I played this game I didn't get very far blah blah blah".
It is my understanding that deliberately stating or demonstrating a desire to ignore or oppose common courtesy is "being a dick". Perhaps this definition is wrong, but nobody has told me otherwise.
a dick
I would agree usage of "overly sophisticated verbiage" could be considered "being a dick", but then again, one of my goals during interaction on this forum is to achieve the gamifications, and doing so will (eventually, hopefully?) earn me the "Pedantic Dickweed" badge.
However, my being a dick does not preclude your being a dick.Though, some forum users don't seem to realize this...
-
From my general understanding, when making a continuation of something
I'm not doing that, though. So... good explanation?
Look, just go away. I don't know what the hell shit you're trying to pull, but if you just want to insult me, go create a new topic for it that I can ignore instead of shitting all over the topics I actually care about, ok?
And if you're going to call someone a dick, maybe at the very minimum have a reason to do so that doesn't require insane asylum thinking first, huh?
-
I'm not doing that, though.
Wait, what? So your second video of you playing the game was indeed not a continuation of the first video you made of you playing that game?
In other words, I'm interpreting @Zecc's words and your response incorrectly?
I'm getting the weirdest sense of dejà vu.
Edit: oh, okI'm thinking of doing a full let's play of those last two, because at least they have a genuinely funky art style to them.
To which you responded:Yeah I guess I could have mentioned that IN the video. But I didn't.
Which implied you agreed it was an accidental misstep on your part, indicating that (in hindsight) you could have but at the time of posting didn't think to do so.In other words, your conversation with @Zecc indicated that after he pointed it out, you realised you could have mentioned the prior video (making it a continuation), but didn't.
I don't know what the hell shit you're trying to pull,
I really don't know how to do this. Here's another instance of jokes that fell flat (or perhaps in this case, flamed up). This makes the counter 32,135...if you just want to insult me
That's not what I just want to do, that's boring. I was trying (and failing) to be funny.And if you're going to call someone a dick, maybe at the very minimum have a reason to do so that doesn't require insane asylum thinking first, huh?
I think the term TDEMSYR applies here. But I won't attempt to explain this here, since this thread really should get back on track.shitting all over the topic
This I have not done. Well, perhaps in one or two posts, but I have made a strong effort to explain and rectify the misunderstandings that have come from it, and you instead decide to bucket it aside and ignore this. Apparently replying with explanation and detail counts as "shitting all over the topic" in your "insane asylum thinking"....As you were.
-
So your second video of you playing the game was indeed not a continuation of the first video you made of you playing that game?
No it wasn't. The video's right there. It's embedded right in the page, you don't even need to open a new browser tab.
That's not what I just want to do, that's boring. I was trying (and failing) to be funny.
You were calling me a dick.
-
The video's right there. It's embedded right in the page, you don't even need to open a new browser tab.
And I spend 85% of my day in places that don't allow things like YouTube, so most of my context must come from the forum only. Opening a new tab is irrelevant, because I get blocked either way.
Walled gardens are apparently a to context apparently.
You were calling me a dick.
That's not a joke?
I'll have to create a notes sheet for this. Apparently degrading comments aren't funny. I will seek to call this out to anyone I find who does the same.

Yikes. You might want to consider joining a bowling league, hanging out at not-terribly-shady bars, or taking classes at the local community college, any of which should provide you with a much better class of social interaction.
-
Maybe he's learning how not to interact?

Someone should gift him HuniePop.

joining a bowling league
I'm not that athletic. However, I am participating in exercise bi-weekly to allow myself physical activities.hanging out at not-terribly-shady bars
I've never understood the purpose of "hanging out." Granted, I usually don't have any topics to talk about that would interest people, but that's another thing entirely.
Additionally, I don't appreciate inebriation, it makes it that much more difficult to learn things...taking classes at the local community college
I take classes that require physical presence. I don't believe they have improved my abilities to socialize.any of which should provide you with a much better class of social interaction.
That's... discouraging, to say the least.Maybe he's learning how not to interact?
Maybe? External inspection may be required.Someone should gift him HuniePop.
Bejeweled is fairly boring, or are we talking about something else?
