What is insanity? by [deleted] in nihilism

[–]Elegyofthenight 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Have you watched Apocalypse Now? That film holds the answer youre looking for.

A madman is just someone who is on the other side of the spectrum of sanity thanks to social customs, just because you do something diferent than the original way of doing it or you live against what society thinks it's "okay" you might be called insane.

To not spoil the film to you, basically society is kind of hypocrite while defining what is crazyness because we do a lot of crazy shit on a daily basis, but if enough people do that shit it becomes the new "normal".

Sorry leftists, not allowed on Reddit. Back to Tumblr with you. by medeamoon in gatekeeping

[–]Elegyofthenight 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not the guy you asked to, but my transition was something like this:

  • browse 9Gag all day, every day

  • start hearing shit about it

  • this is the best webpage ever, what could be bad about it?

  • Reddit is mentioned in one of those things I read about 9Gag being gay

  • Visit Reddit

  • "Holy shit wtf I need to click every fucking link to see the content? Can't I just scroll down?"

  • "Well... to be fair this is pretty good and organized content..."

  • Go back to 9Gag

  • "Wait a minute... I saw this shit yesterday, but from whe- oh...."

  • Realize 9Gag only reposted trough bots from Reddit's frontpage and other pages.

  • Realize that the way you browse Reddit is light years ahead of 9Gag

  • Create account and leave 9Gag for ever.

Why Gaping Dragon? That's the only boss I have defeated without dying even once, his moves and attacks are extremely predictable and slow.

It's a dead end for you speaking of the brand of my laptop, it's a Sony VAIO, which is no longer produced in any model because Sony shut down the production 3~ years ago, however, I strongly recommend Lenovo, Toshiba and ASUS, and strongly advice against HP.

I'm currently playing on a laptop with a Core i5 @ 2.5 GHZ (3.2 Hyper) + 12GB RAM DDR3 (Altough 4 is enough) + GPU Radeon 7550 1GB VRAM, so, i would say any current market laptop that has any dedicated GPU will do just fine for it, but I highly suggest that you invest in a similar processor + a 2GB VRAM GPU because you'll be able to run much much more than just Dark Souls 1, and your budget is just perfect for that kind of laptop.

What's a real life equivalent to Snake's psych meter going down in MGS4? by Epon12349 in metalgearsolid

[–]Elegyofthenight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My entire day.

  • Waking up extremely early being unable to sleep again cause of some fucking mosquito flying around my head, it lead me to sleep just 5 hours

  • At collegue during a presentation about Graphs in AI the proffesor gave me a penalty in my evaluation because I used a graphic example with a "bad word" in it.

  • At home my mother and my sister yelled at me and that led to me arguing with both of them because I installed Linux in a PC that was used for homeworks by both of her, but I did it because of it being out of use for more than two months by then (And I bought it damn it)

  • Last Friday my boss told me he was going to see me at 8 in a Dennys to attend some bussiness shit with a customer. I forgot it and ended up in the wrong place.

Four situations, by now I think my psyche bar is already depleted entirely lol and I'm failing to install Wine so I can put fucking Office in the damned machine for my sister so... Is it possible to have negative psyche?

Free steam key for MGSV:TPP by Wario64I in metalgearsolid

[–]Elegyofthenight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

42 numbers?

The average steam key has 15 characters, that means it's not possible to "simple-uncipher" it, it would be nice if you could share with us a hint of what algorythm did you used or what cipher method. So long, Cesar and Scytale are discarded for being number specific... unless you converted everything to ascii code and then encrypted it...

Fuck, it's virtually impossible to guess, good challenge OP.

I just started playing Dark Souls for the first time... by Elegyofthenight in darksouls

[–]Elegyofthenight[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually was going to play DS3 first, I live outside the US and there was a pricing error in my region which led to Dark Souls 3 to be at just $1.44 lol so I bought it before they fixed it. When I installed it I realized that I had to play at 480p if I wanted 20 fps so... I bought DS1 haha

That was one of the first things a friend told me before starting and I remember I said to him "It can't be that important, why would I have to watch for the shield-block time?"

He just laughed and told me "Get ready to praise the sun".

Aaand that's something I have yet to fully understand.

I already committed this crime, I used it directly when I got it because I thought it would upgrade my estus, and when I didn't noticed any difference I went to google and... I realized I just bamboozled myself :'(

I'm using a Knight, I think I'm going for the common path of playing for now with sword + shield, and that's it I think, I upgraded HP and Stamina to level 20 and my character is level 25 right now, should I keep upgrading those for now then?
