The fact that's there's not much context clues in text and the way you feel the need to make condescending remarks and are constantly measuring/comparing people just makes it hard to tell if you're just bragging or not (when mentioning stuff like someone hurting themselves out of frustration with you right in front of you) which is the easier thing to assume. I was more energetic about that stuff before, although now I'm more accepting of my own nihilism as I get older, and no I don't see nihilism as a sad thing.
If you're nihilistic, then you shouldn't worry if people disagree with it. You say now you're more accepting of your own nihilism, okay.
It shouldn't trigger you if someone else believes in purpose and life having meaning. To you this is somehow negative. If I say this makes you toxic to me, that means I'm a dick toward you or something of that nature.
You for one like to side with someone who wants to measure and compare. To make achievements into a contest, yet at the same time criticise that persons target (which is me) for constantly measuring and comparing people. My additional opinion on that you'd find condescending so I'll keep it to myself, but you have to admit that is quite hypocritical.
Another thing to note, I don't compare people nor do I go around saying I'm better than anyone, though I'm sure I've expressed a low vibrational character doesn't inspire me. If someone has given up or just going to settle for less, I'm not going to praise wasted potential, or tell them what they should do instead.
It just seems you've adopted this idea of masculinity of using women and then also being anti-abortion while having an ideology that nobody has to share resources with the offspring, likely leaving it to suffer entirely.
"It just seems" = That's the problem right there. You don't even have any examples.
Whatever idea you have of me and some concept of masculinity using women, that idea never came from me. When asked I would tell you on a grand scale women use men way more in general.
Basically the idea that object permanency applies to only certain people but newly born are just candle wick apparently. Somehow it's only a "program" for me, yet not a "program" for you. I just think you cannot comprehend empathy, and yet you like to become involved with ideas/policy born of empathy (mostly as a way to troll or "disprove") with the insistence that those that see life as samsara (a cycle of desire, pain, and ultimately death negating it all) are simply programmed instead of people who are taught to indulge in desire without hold. (I guess also partially out of some idea that life is meant to be exploited to extinction)
My main theme since I've been here, is about transformation, not permanency. "The Process of Self Transformation" is something I've talked about before Luna's SC. Last year I had an ex member Ellie, come here and ask about it, and to my surprise I was able to find and screenshot it from 2013. A piece I wrote how transformation comes as an opportunity when the ego reaches a breaking point, to change for the better or worse, and worse if we don't change as a broken ego cannot carry on when reality presents itself in ways the ego cannot coexist. This does not apply to just me, it applies to everyone, and I brought it up to some members especially Med, who hopelessly refuses to transform and instead stick with an ego that cannot serve her, so she'll remain suffering. It can be done, she just doesn't do it. And no it doesn't happen on it's own. The opportunity in self transformation under distress isn't automatic, it's a "choice" and I did say it was a choice long ago.
We all have programming, even me, but I do implement critical thinking and I'm not going confront someone because someone else slapped a label on them. The only ones here that say I abuse women or hate them are Nathan and you, and there you are following his lead. Historically I treated SC women better than Nathan did and I'm not at the receiving end of being hated for hating women like you were lead to believe.
The truth is, you have no example of me hating or abusing women. Yes there are some women I dislike. A lot of them actually, but that's normal. Being pro life doesn't mean I'm abusive to women, and most people who are pro life ARE women and thanks to some accusers I'm happy about it, it's kinda liberating.
I don't believe in transgenderism as demanded. You have the biology of a man it matters not what you identify as. but I do like Blair White, not because he managed to look nice but because he doesn't make demands that enable transexuals to push gender boundaries, plus he uses the mens room. It's not who you think you are, it's what you are.
Some might say I dislike women for this reason, but it shouldn't matter because there are some (real women) I dislike anyway.
And I'm gonna be honest about the videogame stuff, I did pretty much correctly assume the direction of it as needing to become more focused on unbalanced gameplay so it can milk more revenue off p2w models or games that cost an upfront 70 and yet are still boring and it's not because of wokeness, but I'm not saying it's because of anything else either. Off of text it's easy to assume I'm in deep critic but in reality my tone is more apathetic.
I'm pretty sure in that thread you I and Cav talked about the RX 580 and how good it is even today. My suggestion ( not a command okay) was to fix, and maintain it and I posted footage of it running your games beautifully even with mods that boost graphical fidelity. You then mentioned how you wanted to upgrade to an RTX 5050, which is the dog of the RTX 5000 series GPU's and I wouldn't recommend upgrading from a 580 to that. And no I'm not knocking you for wanting a 5050, I'm just saying coming from a 580 it's not worth the upgrade. Sure the 5050 supports Nvidia's DLSS 4 and supports raytracing, but in reality when you turn on ray tracing it will choke up your game performance. None of the games you play have raytracing as an option, and when you do get a game that does, you'll feel the need to upgrade again. Not going to lie, DLSS 4 is nothing to scoff at as it's gotten pretty good, still its better to get a 5070 or a higher-end AMD GPU for cost efficiency. Anyway you probably got your 5050 by now and whatever issue you had with the 580 is gone.
As for what you just said about p2w....
Is that YOU, in favor of greed in capitalism ? I believe it is. But there's another side to it.
The video game industry is the largest entertainment industry in the world. What it makes is already bonkers. Gamers generally hate p2w. Some guy has the magic sword he bought for cash, then he'll kick the ass of those who play the game.
There's 1 game I used to play that had an expensive p2w model I used to do that and spent 11k. They made a new game and their new game actually killed the old one and now that 11k game is gone. Now I play Nikke and after 2 grand I said fuck it. I'm going to stick to f2p. No rush, and I'm happy just grinding away at my own place. Look at the leaderboards. I'm talking to this guy and he's like "70k a year isn't enough to compete with me".
So yes, we're at a point where 1 game, can suck people dry and the only reward is being on top and you'll get 1000 more crystals for it which isn't even a 10 pull. Not to mention the game is easy as hell and you'll just wipe out everything with no skill required.
I preordered Anthem for $80. It had the option to pay for convenience. Did it once, but had no reason to do it again. Now they took Anthem away cause no one had a reason to buy anything. They did stop updating it too. Such a beautiful game. We don't know how we appreciate things until it's gone. I want to fly again. All I have is hours of footage of my unique build in action. I'm pretty much done with gaming, now I'm Ai man. Yeah I'll play a little mobile game now and them and if I get into another triple A game, it'll have to be damn good, and no I won't be playing GTA 6.
