It's an open world game but it looks so polished. There are incredible webms of the stuff you can do.
Like you can chop down a tree and it will fall with physics and everything and you can use it as a bridge to get somewhere. Or you can set stuff on fire and hurt enemies
Anno
There's one really cool clip I saw. You set the grass on fire while riding your horse, which creates heat updrafts. Then jump off your horse and use your magic bedsheet to catch the updrafts into the air, where you can then slow time for a brief moment, get out your bow, and land a bird's-eye snipe on the opponent. There's so many style points in that combo that it's amazing.
The game has pretty much already sold me on an early purchase. My hindrance is more I can't really lay down the price of the system plus game without getting a job right now. So I'm going to need to secure that first.
Anno
I don't generally like open world games but I'll end up playing it one way or another thanks to my sisters
Why does milk come in plastic in the US? Why does it come in cartons here?

Why does it come in BAGS in Canada?

It comes in cartons here too

Depending on where you shop it can come in plastic jugs, cartons, or bags here. And most places offer at least two varieties anyway. Power of convenience!

I have such a hard time drawing the north-west quadrant of a circle. It's the part of a curve my coordination is most likely to go "well arm/wrist muscles you're on your own here, good luck."
>>38731 >try to tap something in the top left of the screen >press the back softkey on accident with your palm reeeee
Anno
I don't quite think that's the same thing, hah hah. But I know that feeling.
I always end up hitting the bottom-left corner of my phone's screen with my thumb palm. Like that thumb ball joint in your palm. I don't have the largest hands, so I do kind have to stretch to get to the other side when I'm using my phone with one hand. And that bit always ends up nudging the screen.
Anno
>>38736 This is the part where I realize I read your post wrong but say I didn't mean to quote you
Anno
>>38736 Yeah that's exactly it but I use my phone with my right hand
Anno
I'm left-handed, so I guess it's just a matter of nature, eh.
Anno
Same shit different hand Wouldn't be bad if the back button was on the other side of the screen I think
Anno
It is on the side for my phone, hah hah. The other side even. So even though I'm left-handed, I end up hitting it anyway! Such is life.
Anno
Lefties lose again My previous phone was like that too, though. I liked that layout.
nope pretty smooth sailing for the most part I figured where I went wrong with the gps too Besides the voice being turned down to mute, the orientation was set to look north, as opposed to following the car. Nothing to do with the user at all s-surely.

Any of you nerds want to talk about D&D?
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
Oh yeah I just remembered something. SK, I went through a few boxes of CD's and I did not find that Mindless Self Indulgence promo CD. There's a decent chance my mom threw it out sometime in the last 10 years. I haven't gone through all our music though so I don't know for sure that we do not have it. If I find it I'll rip it and upload for you ASAP though.
As far as Sabaton goes, I like most of their music, but Heroes and Last Stand are easily my favorite albums They're both loaded with really good songs, and I'm a bit of a sucker for albums with a theme
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
If Last Stand is the one I'm thinking of I've probably heard it like 12 times in the past year and a half. Not of my own volition mind you.
『ｓｋ』
>>38803 It's the last one The Last Stand, the song, is fantastic, too, but I meant the album in its entirety
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
>>38804 Yeah I meant the album, also I just read that it came out in August so I have heard it like 12 times since it came out.
Other than that, though, I checked out Run The Jewels and some other musicc in that sort of area Can't say I'm a fan, but some of it was kinda OK
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
I can't remember the names of any of their songs or what they sound like but I'm pretty sure I've heard them and thought they were okay. You listen to much classic rock, or alternatively did you ever listen to much classic rock?
『ｓｋ』
I'm not very good with genres, but I listen to a lot of different stuff
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
Do you prefer to listen to entire albums or do you make playlists on a song by song basis?
『ｓｋ』
I usually listen to albums from start to finish first, but then I pick the stuff I like and I have a playlist of just songs I really like I need to trim that one a bit I think, though
Naw, I just have two speakers, each half the size of one of my monitors, and a small sub in the middle
I have a real sound system in the living room though
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
I usually listen to music on my computer, but I have a stereo set up in the basement. I've got a turntable and a 5 disc CD changer and the receiver. I don't have a tape deck anymore though. I have a decent sized vinyl collection but since I opened up the boxes of CDs I've been listening to a lot of those recently.
Most of the time the music is just too loud and stuff You just get the bass and most other things aren't clear enough
Bad sound management can ruin music really bad
The pink floyd thing, you couldn't hear the vocals very well >>38823 Even other gatherings where there's music, it tends to just be loud and not at a level where you can enjoy it properly
Some music that I like you kinda need a headset to properly enjoy anyway
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
>>38822 >Most of the time the music is just too loud and stuff You've only been to two concerts so I don't think you can draw any real conclusions for that. I won't deny bad sound management being able to ruin concerts. But you would probably be surprised at how well it can sound when its done right.
I used to really love techno music, and I mean I still do, but I think techno music has moved a lot from what it was when I got into it I realize it's a big genre, but I mean the subgenres that I enjoyed aren't really alive anymore or something I stumble into much >>38826 A little bit, but not exceptionally They have some good music, but a lot of obnoxious stuff too
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
>>38825 Do you like the Chemical Brothers at all? I have this 20 year old remix album by them that I just unpacked. Also I mainly listen to music from ten or more years ago. Not that I don't listen to any new stuff, but I just mainly listen to older music. There's not really any thing wrong with listening to dead genres or subgenres.
『ｓｋ』
I tend to just sorta listen to stuff I come across and like But I don't have any real method of finding new music I tried Spotify but it just gave me shit I already knew about and either liked or didn't already
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
>>38827 Read Pitchfork's best albums of the year lists, or just go check their site out every so often. I don't consider them to be the "end all" source of good music or anything but they are a good way to found out about good new stuff.

I watch theneedledrop sometimes, on youtube He seems to cover a LOT of music and genres
I'll check pitchfork too, I guess
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
Oh yeah I'm going to post a brief list of bands I like that I think you may have heard of, I'd appreciate it if you could tell me which bands you like (or dislike) and which of them you are not familiar with. Ideally the optimal format for a response would be in the form "yes, no, not familiar" or whatever in the order I list them.
Talking Heads, Sonic Youth, Black Flag, Public Image Limited, Animal Collective, Arcade Fire, Devo, U2, Electric Light Orchestra, Ministry, The Pixies, The Smiths, They Might Be Giants, XTC
『ｓｋ』
heard of but never listened to never heard of it same same same same same don't like them much no clue who they are same same heard of but never listened to Listened to, sorta liked it but it's kinda eh, too I like XTC, they're pretty good
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
>>38834 XTC is one of my favorite bands, well actually all those bands I listed are also among my favorite bands. But I'm more surprised you are familiar with them considering all the stuff on that list you aren't familiar with.
『ｓｋ』
I like Lords of Acid a bit, but they're kind of unique
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
Oh and on the subject of U2, their older stuff is a lot different from the sort of stuff they've been doing for the last 15 years. I don't really like their new stuff that much but I do like their old stuff. Also a few of the bands on that list you probably have heard stuff by, like in movies and stuff. Have you seen Fight Club?
『ｓｋ』
I might have, but I wouldn't know, at least
『ｓｋ』
Yeah, I saw fight club
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
The song 'This Monkey's Gone to Heaven" is by the Pixies. Devo is the band that did the song "Whip it" and also "We're through being cool", the main dude from Devo did the music for the Lego movie. Electric Light Orchestra is the band that did
『ｓｋ』
Oh, powerman5k has a cover of Whip It
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
>>38840 that did the song used in the Daicon IV opening animation.
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
Of those bands the ones that I (and many other people who like music) consider the most important would probably be in order Talking Heads, The Smiths, Sonic Youth and The Pixies. In terms of influence and stuff.
I've been thinking of listening to some Talking Heads, actually, because I heard it mentioned somewhere yesterday I thin k
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
I would recommend starting with Remain in Light. Also just for reference Talking Heads are called "Talking Heads" not "the Talking Heads", the main dude from the band is probably autistic and they even released an album called "The Name of This Band is Talking Heads". For the *The Smiths I would recommend listening to "The Queen is Dead" first. The Smiths actually only have four albums so it wouldn't take you very long to listen to all of them but The Queen is Dead is their best. For Sonic Youth I recommend listening to Daydream Nation. I'm going to need a few minutes to decide which Pixies album to recommend. (They are called Pixies but its okay to refer to them as The Pixies)
I'll write it down, but I dunno when I'll get around to it I like listening to new music, but I need to find a good time for it
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
Okay for the Pixies I'd recommend Trompe le Monde. Also I would like to add that of those four bands that I decided to recommend albums from, all of them have at least one album on Pitchfork's Best 100 albums of the 1980's list. >>38848 never heard of them
Remain in Light was ranked 2/100, Daydream Nation was ranked 1/100 and The Queen is Dead was ranked 6/100. I don't consider Pitchfork to be like "the word of god" when it comes to music, but generally any rankings they have (especially for much older music) are taken very seriously.
I think I've heard some of their stuff, but it doesn't ring a bell
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
if you believe, they put a man on the moon
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
>>38855 They did "Its the end of the world (and I feel fine)".
『ｓｋ』
Oh yeah I think I downloaded the rest of their music once, and I didn't particularly like any of it They weren't bad, just not particularly good
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>38857 isn't losing my religion their most famous song?
Anno
Or orange crush
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs

『ｓｋ』
I remember end of the world way better than losing my religion
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
>>38858 You worded that very well, usually when someone talks about music that they don't like they insult it, and I say very rude things to people who insult R.E.M. .
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
Also if you don't feel like looking for downloads for those albums I rec'd I can upload them to uguu for you.
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
Actually I just thought of a good idea, sk would you be willing to listen to one song from each of those albums right now?
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
Oh and for reference I would be picking the songs.
Tell me when you're done and I'll post the next one, oh and if you feel like watch the video too instead of just listening. Talking Heads' had some pretty cool videos considering when their videos came out.>>38874 the video was done in like 1980 or 1981 by the way.
『ｓｋ』
Alright
『ｓｋ』
Yeah I got it in another window
『ｓｋ』
Oh man this video is so 90s
『ｓｋ』
It's like they predicted early youtube
『ｓｋ』
This is definitely good enough for me to listen to It's kind of like, pop music if it didn't all sound the same
I wouldn't say it sounds like something I'd put in a top x list, though
Anno
>try to keep myself in good body orientation >wake up every morning and notice that I've been spending the last 8 unconscious hours in a horrible, scoliosis promoting tangled position, while also snoring through my mouth and letting my chin recede
>>38894 It might take me a bit to pick a song from trompe le monde. Unlike those other three albums I'm honestly not sure which song on it I like the most.
I mean that was one of the major counter-arguments to the atlantic trade deal with USA. It would've fucked over our copyright systema nd made some public domain items fall once again into licensed territory
Oh also another tip on finding "new" music (as in music that is new to you) is to read up on bands/musicians you like and find what artists they like a lot.
>>38927 Fun fact about that band, the guy with the mustache who looks like a fag is in fact the only straight guy in the band.
『ｓｋ』
Sounds kinda like the theme music to some TV Show show
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
>>38929 okay yeah, I didn't notice this until just now but that video has two songs in it the first one is Makes no Sense at All, the other one is "Love is all around" which is a rock song from the 60's which was used as the opening theme to the mary tyler moore tv show
『ｓｋ』
Never even heard of that show
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
>>38931 I'm only vaguely familiar with it, also mary tyler moore died recently
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
>>>/watch?v=MvggqOHKPco fun fact about this band, they were permanently banned from ever performing again on SNL after getting really drunk right before the performance also they left one of the guys from the band in new york (tommy stinson). They had a very bad habit of getting really drunk before and during shows and then just playing cover songs.
『ｓｋ』
I'm starting to think this just isn't my genre at all
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
>>38934 most of the stuff I've been posting has been from different genres, but I think I know what you mean this one is more different from the other stuff >>>/watch?v=4D2qcbu26gs inb4 blocked
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
oh yeah tell me if you don't want to listen to anymore stuff
『ｓｋ』
It works
『ｓｋ』
I'm gonna call it after this one, I think It's interesting to listen to new stuff, but I also got some other stuff I'm gonna watch
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
>>38938 okay, if you like "I wanna be adored" I'd definitely recommend the album its from , its called 'The Stone Roses" it was a very influential album in the Madchester scene.
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
wow, I'm listening to an archive of a radio show from last week, and a song by the stone roses just came one spooky
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
oh wait no it isn't, its a song by a different band that sounds a little bit like a stone roses song, or I was wrong when I said it wasn't the stone roses I need to listen to it for a little bit longer okay yeah its not by them, false alarm I'm pretty sure they did play some stone roses though
>>38943 if there is one available why not use it? it is a campsite afterall, so they most likely want to keep the place clean and dedicated bathrooms help with that
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
>>38945 I mean I get the "if there is one available use it", but it still seems like it sort of defeats the purpose of actual camping.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo

FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
I'm pretty sure I actually have an original somewhere
You have a set of "civilised" points and you lose them when you camp out and each time you shit in a hole, you permanently lose 1 point this can never be regained
Fuck you. I am telling a travel story. Just because it illustrates the point.
In Ladahk, there weren't any proper bathroom faculties .. At least outside of the villages. . And this was the place with -25C temperature and almost zero moisture around.
AS A RESULT, people I won't point fingers at nationalities went everywhere near the trail and it wouldn't decompose because of the climate
And the ASTOUNDING NATURAL BEAUTY was diminished somewhat by making sure you didn't step on any of the brown, frozen stalagmites littering the ground. There were a lot.
CASE AND POINT Bad things happen when you are outdoors and people aren't using facilities.

>>38973 So what you're saying is plumbing is the best and should never be insulted
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
>>38973 Whenever I did it I would dig a hole, although I do understand that in really heavy traffic areas it can actually do damage to the land if 10,000s of people dig holes to bury their shit in. I remember reading about some area in a US national park that has a problem because of too much shit.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
shit is fertilisier, but over fertilising kills and shit ain't that bad piss is actually a real issue if people do it a lot in a small area

you ever hear about how we tend to remember the emotions related to an event, more than the details of the event that caused the emotions I think that's why a lot of times, people can't explain why they dislike other people in specific detail we just know that they bring bad emotions
Anno
Emotions are pretty personal, where as actual events are kind of a degree or more further of familiarity.
Tony do you think with the pacing the anime is going for Zestiria right now, if they can wrap up the game's plot by the end of the season? It doesn't feel to me like they're even remotely near the conclusion of the series.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
>>39015 Jesus fucking christ hell no They've done literally nothing and taken so many liberties and fanfictioned it to hell and back
If they had advertised it as some sort of rewrite or something I'd be cooler with it.
But literally nothing has happened and a lot of season 2 has been not-canon to the game
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
Like that entire bit with Rose?
That's revealed in-game in about the span of 30 minutes as stuff that already happened in the past and that guy she tries to kill in the anime is already dead if I recall.
Kirara☆
they are like 1/2 done with the game at most maybe that's generous
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
They aren't even doing the trials
And Rose hasn't become contracted they aren't letting her kamui like she actually can.
Anno
>>39018 That's kind of what I was feeling it as, working off how I've felt previous Tales games have progressed.
I wonder if they're actually going to run the show for a full four-cour-
>>39021 Bitch please I was thinking it BEFORE you even said that.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
It's going to be 52 episodes and it's going to get really weird, you heard it here first.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
>>39020 I've been saying that literally every thread I've watched with Kirara since season 2 started.
Anno
Yeah well I haven't been reading those. Scrub.
Anno
But yeah it really feels like that's the pacing its going at.
Kirara☆
the pacing is miserable they also keep adding in characters that weren't even in the game
>>39038 One of the things I loved most about Berseria was that the camera was so good. I was able to forgive some of the battle mechanics because how good the camera was.
>>39042 I like to play as a healer and the system didn't work well for that. It was great if I was Velvet or Swordbro
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
>Forgiving Berseria's battle mechanics Berseria has the best battle system in a tales game I've played in a long time.
One problem I// Oh okay that's fair The battle system doesn't function well for casters. I forgot about that.
One issue I can see about it is that STUN happens so much and if you run out of souls you're goingt o have a horribly bad time >>39044 Vesperia for starters Rita is a literal god
Anno
Has any Tales game worked particularly well for casters.
Anno
>>39043 I think that leans more on her being a broken-ass mage than anything though.
Marble
>>39044 Vesperia and Graces was fine. I think it was a bit weirder in Xillia since MC dude was also a healer as well as a monk, so I ended up using him and not whoever the caster in the group was.
With graces and onward, especially Xillia, where they're mixing casting and melee a lot more, stuff like Elize happens and you get a cute spell spammer that heals and isn't useless in melee
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
>>39050 When I played symphonia with my friends if I got stuck having to play Genis I would play him as a tank until they let me play a different character.
apparently there are lots of hacks for FEH atm cause its clientside instead of server no feather or orbs though but you can +10 and change rarity or so
Anno
Maybe they're waiting on COUNTY APPROVAL or some shit.
>>39071 Are you telling me you're going to become a FILTHY HACKER Squid?
>>39091 People were expecting this. It's not all that surprising.
>>39093 Oh that's really really really good. The console Harvest Moon games at the time of the Wii generation were by far the best Harvest Moon games--so much better quality than the DS releases around the same time. The technology gap between consoles and handhelds has probably narrowed a fair bit since then, but it will be nice to finally get a Story of Seasons game that doesn't have absolutely ugly environmental textures. And maybe they'll bring back the tiered mines again. I want them to bring back the tiered mines again.
>>39094 Yeah. Story of Seasons for the Switch pretty much seals it for me. Maybe I'll buy one soon to get in on that sweet Zelda action, the new Zelda looks really good.
Anno
It's a super nice deal for me, since Disgaea 5 is also coming out for it. And I've always preferred being able to play Disgaea games on handhelds. If NIS and whatever that studio that stole all of NIS' talent put out their games on the Switch alongside the PS4, then that makes it a really nice pick up for me.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
This Zestiria fanfiction gets a 7/10 so far maybe. That's probably generous
Anno
I've found it fun enough. Slay's kind of like a boring Lloyd.
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
i like sorey more than lloyd from what i've seen of lloyd sorey is like super duper high energy
Anno
I haven't watched the Symphonia animations, so I can't really speak of them. But Lloyd has a LOT of character development in Symphonia. He starts off as this dumb brat that can't do anything without fucking up everything. And as the game progresses he collides with a lot of problems because of that. But throughout the collisions he gains polish and maturity and by the end of the series is a very respectable character. And I think the fact that he's a bit of a little shit at the start of the series makes that payoff all the better.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
Symphonia anime is alright, but they take a lot of liberties. But the pacing is a lot better.
>Dumb brat that can't do anything without fucking up everything I'm not saying you're wrong but you definitely made me think of Luke instead for a minute.
Because that's definitely how one can describe Luke.
Anno
>>39217 I didn't play enough of The Abyss to really get a good grasp on Luke. ...Luke was the MC of Abyss...right?
But from what I remember and from what my friend who owned and finished the game said, he is a lot similar in that he starts off ruining everything but gets better by the end of it.
Luke literally goes so full retard that an actual thousand people die
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
Luke is also spoiled royalty though so it gives him more reason to be a brat.
Anno
>>39220 Kind of? It's more that he goes around acting like "MY IDEA OF JUSTICE IS RIGHT AND YOU ALL ARE TERRIBLE PEOPLE FOR NOT AGREEING WITH ME." I think one of the major themes of Symphonia is that justice and righteousness is incredibly nuanced and that it's only through collusion and consideration that an actually fair and just world view can be achieved.
Admittedly several of those people are doing really bad things and calling it justice.
Like // huh. My memory's blanking for once.
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
The symphonia takes until about episode 9 out of 11 to actually get to the racism story point in the anime by the way
Anno
>>39224 A few of them are also doing it out of a desperate need for survival. Which doesn't exonerate cruelty, naturally, but it does complicate just ramming your head against them because they don't agree with your justice.
Anno
How do you recover from making a typo during an internet argument besides abstinence from internet arguments

me and a friend of mine are starting a new slang term. Well, it's already a word but it's gonna be used as slang now the term is ghoul including all forms ie. ghoulish, ghouling if you see this popping up everywhere in a couple months, you know who to thank

>>39299 Apparently Suicide Squad took best use of make-up and costume design or whatever it is. It's kind of a shame that the movie wins any kind of award, but if it's going to win one, that's probably the one it best deserves.

Anno
>>39359 It was a good movie. Enjoyable, not overly-kidsy, and had some good effort put into it. The writing was decent and the minor details weren't unpolished.
Not like there's a lot of competition in animation There was that stop motion film and Zootopia, and Zootopia came out on top because it's the one snugly fitting into the current race bullshit happening if you look at it with the right lens
bang
I mean what all was animated in 2016 not a whole lot i'm sure

it was better than kubo and the two strings the only other nominee i saw

>no anime movie nominated in 2016 time to set some stuff on fire???
Anno
Funimation was trying to get Kimi no na wa into the Oscars but they didn't have any dice. I don't think it would have stood a chance against Zootopia in the end, but it would have been nice to see it get in.
>>39374 SK you're starting to do that thing again. Where you harp on and on and on about something and it begins to lose any real context for the people around you.
My s key in't responing. Oddddddk Oh woah. My wasd keys and my arrow keys have swapped functionality. I now type with the arrow keys and move my text cursor with the wasd keys.
>>39397 A show that a major and some times overwhelming theme of, is to present cute girls to the viewer. I don't see it as an inherently bad thing, but when it overwhelms all other aspects of the show, it gets kind of uninteresting.
Effie and Nino are both really good. Felicia is only okay but she's cute. Setsuna is average and not that cute.
But mostly I need an Effie to round out my team, and if I get a 5 star Nino I can upgrade my Nino and make her awesome.
Anno
I guess I wouldn't mind Setsuna, she's cute and I don't have any cute archers. But I already have Felicia and Gwendolyn kind of fills the same role Effie would for me. And Julia's a cuter green mage than Nino.
>>39513 another legal weed bill is going before my state's house soon proclaiming that weed is basically a gift from god because god made it and we should be allowed to smoke whatever we want
it's made by some tea party dude it's a fucking stupid angle

>>39571 The National Debt being high or low isn't inherently a good or bad thing. People really shouldn't read too much into the numbers--it isn't any sort of indication of something like they think it may be. Nor should he be popping champagne over it.
>>39573 What he said is true, but we don't agree it's important so he's mostly lying.
Anno
It's not necessarily important though. And may be actually a bad thing for the nation. >>39576 If he's construing it as a positive influence created by his administration, yes.
Sk phone
Which makes it mostly untrue?
Anno
More so the concepts of national debt are incredibly nuanced and his administration may not even be responsible for this change.
Sk phone
So if the opposition says something about the Trump administration that could be seen as positive, they're lying? "Donald Trump has deported x amount of immigrants." The numbers are correct but it may be a good thing, so mostly untrue
How about fact checkers stick to facts and leave interpretation of it to sources not claiming to be objective
Maria
National debt is a clusterfuck to figure out. That's your biggest safeguard against it.
Anno
>>39578 Are you intentionally being stupid or is this just because you're in a pissy mood.
Sk phone
I am in a pissy mood, yes, but that's unrelated. When you say something isn't true because it's supported by facts but experts say it means something other than what the one who said it thinks it means, you're first of all completely removing the meaning of "true", and most importantly lying outright
Anno
Okay, check back in when you're not in a pissy mood.
Anno
>>39580 What's stupid about it? It's true, though it doesn't really matter that it's gone down, but they said it's mostly false. I don't get it.
Anno
Because it's mostly false that it's a good thing. Calling it a good thing is completely baseless.
Sk phone
>>39584 Which isn't part of the statement being fact checked He's implying it's good, and it's fine to address that, but it's not part of the statement, which itself is completely true
If I say Jews own a lot of stuff, I'm not lying just because it's not an inherent part of being a jew. They do You can discuss the implications of it all you want, but the fact remains true
Anno
>>39584 Oh, they called it a good thing? All I've seen is the screenshot there.
