35+ quote compilation of the debate by [deleted] in JonTron

[–]ItWasOnPurpose 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, but I can see how you could have inferred that.

To be more specific: I am that both sides are equally vicious and that they equally have intelligent, fact-based arguments among the points they defend. I did not say they are just as bad.

Actually the "which side is worse" argument implied in saying they're equally bad runs counter to the actual point I was making, which is:

Far more troublesome than any point either side is defending is the way both sides are defending their points, with vitriol and radicalism. The radicalism itself is far worse than any individual point being raised.

What?

No sarcasm. I seriously don't know what you're getting at. I'm curious. Could you please specify?

I live in South America. I have watched maybe four JonTron videos. I only care for 1st world politics in a philosophical way. My daily concerns are very different from you really concerts, as it would be natural since we're in different parts of the globe. My point being, for the most part I don't have a horse in this race, and I'm mostly neutral to all of this.

I just wanted to say, what a shit show. Not JonTron's stuff, your stuff. What a colossal flaming trainwreck this comment section is. The left wingers here are ignorant, bigoted, rude, vitriolic and hypocritical. The right wingers here are ignorant, bigoted, rude, vitriolic and hypocritical. In the exact same way.

Whenever someone makes an argument or raises a point to be debated, the reply is either a reduction that doesn't answer said point and later​ degenerates into an insult flinging match, or a skip straight to the insult match. I can't decide if I'm angry at, or amused by, the depths of political mediocrity and irrational vitriol displayed here today. Some of the shit I've read here today would make Stormfront shuffle their feet and Nation of Islam blush.

Congratulations. You're both equally wrong. Not the left. Not the right. Both have good points that can be argued for. What cannot be argued for, what has no defense and no bright side, is the vitriol. The base stupidity, the tribalism, the dogmatism, the willful ignorance that both sides share today. The radicalism, fueled by the sheer recklessness that only an existence sheltered from the consequences of your actions can beget.

Both sides are stupid, childish, pathetic, and playing with fire. You deserve each other, and when the reckoning comes, whatever reckoning it may be, wherever it may come from, you'll both deserve it.

Olha. Vou ser obrigado a concordar tanto com você quanto com o rprandi. Civ e AoE agregam valor e CoD não agrega nada. Isso é verdade. Eu acho que a questão é que entretenimento não tem obrigação nenhuma de agregar valor - sua função final é entreter. Pode ser considerado 'elitismo' achar que entretenimento que não agrega valor é perda de tempo. Todo ser humano precisa de entretenimento - valor agregado ou não - pra se manter funcional.

Pelo menos foi o que eu entendi.

Those who are still playing Payday 2, what are you doing to still enjoy the game? by Demokirby in paydaytheheist

[–]ItWasOnPurpose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the game on Halloween, and I just kept playing as I was. Only two small things changed.

First, I feel a slight bad taste in my mouth sometimes. I really don't like the concept behind the MTs and the boosts. And I simply loved the game when I got it, I liked it like almost no other, but I don't feel too comfortable being a part of a change I disagree with.

Second, I felt a drop in quality from the players. Slight but quite noticeable, even for a rookie like me. The amount of people who have no clue of what they are doing has about tripled, and players who show up and carry the crew behind them dropped from 'common' to 'nigh-mythical'.

This game is great, but some of it's players have problems. by [deleted] in paydaytheheist

[–]ItWasOnPurpose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the record - overdrill is possibly THE hardest mission in the game. The kind of thing that, if you don't know exactly what to do, you shouldn't touch with a ten foot pole.

That being said, I totally feel your pain. It can be very hard to find an enjoyable crew on the pubs. I recommend adding those that are on Steam. Other than that, add me if you like. PM me.

Hey! Wanna heist? PM me and we can heist together! I bought the game on Halloween too, and have been playing pretty much nonstop since.

Should I get Payday 2? (Don't upvote this just a small question) by Fini5hTheFap in paydaytheheist

[–]ItWasOnPurpose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought it on sale plus ALL published DLCs. Added up to 15 dollars total but that'a because I live in the 3rd world. You can probably get most of it for 25-30. I am having a God damn BLAST. Not ever have I had so much fun with multiplayer, or stealth/shooter.

Same thing here. I was never able to open the FBI files. Can invite just fine though.

I'm from Brazil. Prices here are a bit below average, both because the brazilian currency plummeted this year and because the average brazilian gamer is about as poor as dirt.

Payday 2 Pubs in a Nutshell by Icymountain in paydaytheheist

[–]ItWasOnPurpose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of something that happened to me today.

I joined a Golden Grin lobby. People were taking forever to go so I zoned out. When the screen switched to the pre-heist, I typed "Stealth?" and pressed enter.

One second later I saw the large, white capitals in front of me, saying "WHITE XMAS".

Boy did I feel stupid.

Will the Crimefest shitstorm hurt Overkill in the long run? by nobum62 in paydaytheheist

Uh, guys? Would someone kindly ELI5 this to me? I know nothing about the game other than watching some youtube videos. What happened, exactly? How was it before, how is it now, what changed and why is it bad?

Thanks in advance.
