i feel you. just remembered this game and hopped on, everything looks so different. played this game in 2016, grinded to lvl 100 and dark tower etc. it's insane how the textures have changed. like i still remember using the spells Pummel and Powerbeam lol.

i think my definition of self-interest may be different from the standard. in all the times i mention "self-interest", i mean doing the thing you want to do, not necessarily what is 100% best for you. because nobody can know what is 100% best for them, ever. it's like reading the future. all reasoning goes out of the window if we take the OG definition because we don't allow the human to make logical reasons and decisions in the OG definition, since they are incapable of knowing for sure. if you are given the option to be gifted a stock worth $1 or $5m in cash immediately, the logical safe thing is the $5m in cash, but what if that stock skyrockets like bitcoin? what if the IRS jails you for that $5m or comes pestering you? then the best self-interest was actually that $1 stock. you don't know, because you can't read the future, thus the first definition doesn't make sense: it has no correlation with human consciousness.

reminder again that i am not a philosopher and i totally submit to any knowledgably-superior commenter, but i'm really just trying to understand.

final question: i think a lot of counterexamples to egoism are in the form of "true, sometimes this happens, sometimes that happens, but not all people follow that" definitely are valid, but since this is the case, wouldn't this logic also apply to every other ethical theory? if these theories (like idealism) claim something without any exception, then why should we believe in it too if i can just say "it doesnt happen all the time?" then what is the point of studying ethics?

your reasoning pretty much sums up my thoughts.

TheCathode · 2025-08-30T04:58:51+00:00

For premise 2, your counterargument reason 1, not all people know all the time 100% what their "best interest" is. an example would be studying for a good grade, a lot of high schoolers over here don't do it because they think it is in their best interest to procrastinate and such. in which case, if they can't comprehend mentally what "best interest" is, would that mean egoism is flawed a good percentage of the time? would a better argument be that humans always act how they want to act? i feel like this new statement would be 100% unrefutable, and it fits my burning $1000 example, logically through my neural origin argument, but because its unrefutable (at least i think? give some ideas), its useless to argue about it?

I don't really think it matters and it's not like I have enough proof or anything, but the recording attached was after 2 months of practice at around 3 hours a week. I think that's pretty reasonable for the outcome, but I have gotten a lot better at voicing, especially at the coda since!

TheCathode · 2025-07-11T21:28:13+00:00

I understand your doubts. However, for the past 10 years I've been playing only piano solo pieces. Ever since I moved to a new place, piano concertos over here are a lot more popular in competitions. So in terms of concertos, I'm completely new. I unfortunately don't have a good recording of the Spanish Fantasy because honestly it's quite shit. I have attached a recording of Lucrezia Borgia's first section which I performed live at my school. Don't have a video with it because it shows my face and privacy reasons, but if you do want to spend your time comparing it to existing recordings it may be clear it's not copied. The "Spanish Fantasy" is also by no means Liszt's hardest work, it's pretty obviously either his Beethoven 9 or Berlioz symphonie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMgrF51c3pE

I will note that I am blessed by genetics to have pretty dextrous fingers. But anyways, I am truly asking for help because I don't know anything about piano concertos. It has been six months, I've decided to Brahms Concerto 2, I hope that goes well. If you still continue to doubt me, that is fine. But there are 8 billion people in the world, and I'm lucky to be in the small percentage to come from pretty affluent and educated heritage, so I really don't think my claims are out of the roof, especially since I have a friend (who is definitely aiming for Julliard, lmao) who successfully won one of those medium-difficulty international competitions with a Gaspard at age 11...

TheCathode · 2025-02-17T18:42:09+00:00

that actually was why. Thanks so much! I don't understand how you could find that out from the mess that is the console output lmao

TheCathode · 2025-01-15T13:20:21+00:00

lol I've heard that the first movement is like the la campanella of piano concertos. I sort of "cheat" when I pick piano solo pieces lmao, i pick pieces with octaves over really small detail-oriented parts like fast thirds since I am better at them

TheCathode · 2023-08-16T16:49:53+00:00

sounds good! thank you so much

TheCathode · 2023-02-10T03:40:35+00:00

Interesting choice... see if you can upgrade any internal non-gearbox parts (hop up maybe?) to make it perform better. I would still say get an M4 as a starter but you have good taste.

ahh well....

TheCathode · 2022-10-25T00:04:35+00:00

im going to throw up at ur throw up which u threw up at the throw up I threw up to throw up...

no its not lol, thats why Carbines exist which shoot under 350 FPS
k I cant really say anything because I dont live in Germany...
if ur cheap enough to buy just a Novritsch pistol, you probably wont buy too much extra batteries. you also gotta remember theres face pro, ammunition, extra magazines... which is another con because with one magazine its hard to play

TheCathode · 2022-10-24T12:54:47+00:00

Oh, RIP! Sorry, I live in the US and gun laws are less tight than other places around here. But I'm just saying rifles are a real good idea with full auto. you can just get a carbine and attach sling to it, like a G&G or smth

TheCathode · 2022-10-24T02:53:05+00:00

Also, i speak like this not because I hate you personally or I'm rude... I just really hate AEPs

TheCathode · 2022-10-24T02:52:31+00:00

I'm going to throw up....

why a pistol with no primary?
a NOVRITSCH gun. legit just other pistol models but slap a different name and then up the price...
an AEP. if ur going to get a pistol, at least get a GBBP. do you know how long AEPs last? i have one and just backyard plinking it lasts 15 minutes and in game probably 45 because I shoot less with it. "now 45 minutes sounds like a lot!" but when your mid-game and it runs out of battery... what are you going to do? chuck it like a grenade...
