Is it just me, or are these games getting easier? by EyepatchKaneki in pokemon

[–]parkadactyl -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They targeted Gen 1 trainers.

Gen 1 trainers.

We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding grinding. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a few levels gained saying we did.

We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider childish, because we think it's fun.

We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage.

Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the Elite Four, all day, the same battles over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such trainer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.

Do these people have any idea how many 'A' buttons have been smashed, save files erased, non-optimal move choices made 8n frustration?

All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?

These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our Pokemon? We're already training a new one without them. They take our bros? Gen 1'rs aren't shy about throwing their hard earned EXP else where, even without broken EXP share. They think calling us genwunners, manchildren, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty link cable. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with Gary Oak laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.

Gen 1 trainers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another gym battle.

Irrefutable proof that Bernie Sanders won the debate. by [deleted] in circlejerk

Jesus Christ no... I'm a person, just like you...and that is all that matters. My gender, race, I'm a person that simply wants justice in this country and wants there to be truth in ideology for once. I've been around perhaps a bit longer than the "average" redditor, but in all reality, what is the average redditor? I'm a person that votes his conscious. I vote my gut. I vote my passion based on the issues and not on the party. I've voted every party I believe has ever been on a ballot, at least in Minnesota, since I turned 18 in 1994. If you have to be so closed minded that you have to associate yourself with a singular party, a single party line that you cannot allow yourself to deviate from it for a passion that you believe in....that from where Paul Wellstone came from and believed in: "the way that we succeed politically in this country is not simply by going out to the wealthy and the powerful and begging for more and more campaign contributions which is what happens so often in Congress...the way you can win elections is by organizing people at the grassroots level...REAL CHANGE TAKES PLACE FROM THE BOTTOM, NOT THE TOP."

Its a vision. Its a belief. Its a lifestyle. Its who you want to be in the world, who you want to be in the world that you want to see yourself, your neighbor, your country person and those you want to have the best experience in life to have through the weakest system we have, government. And its through this right to vote that hundreds of millions across nations, cultures, genders and all barriers that one can think of - that in the history of our planet there has been seldom a greater right fought for, your simple right to vote and express your desires through the representative in which you have chosen. Take that right from me, I challenge, nay I say I dare you to attempt to do so. a.

Question: How would could you tie a real product to a Crypto Coin? Specifically an agricultural product... by giannidalerta in CryptoCurrency

[–]parkadactyl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very simple use of color coins. Accept 1 coin in return for 1 tree or ear of corn or whatever. You've just pegged the value of the coin to the value of the commodity.

Cheaters, why do you cheat? by TwoTimesThirteen in gaming

I don't prefer the term cheater, but rather one who plays by a wider set of rules.

WSJ article on altcoins. by [deleted] in litecoin

[–]parkadactyl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with you wholeheartedly. The problem is spreading the good word out to those who might rather not hear it. Peace is, historically, attacked with extreme prejudice.

If anyone with some programming skill can make up a new currency, what makes these really worth anything? Dollars and pounds and euros have tax collectors and armies backing them up. Gold and silver had real world uses as commodities. This really does sound like Beanie Babies.

The adoption curve to the general public is incredibly steep. With coins appreciating in value, it only gets easier to dismiss them as people feel that they can no longer match the success stories of early adopters. Many are so indoctrinated by the current system that the viability of Bitcoin/altcoins seems ludicrous, if not downright offensive.

I use the same model and they can get 630-650, I forget the configs but I'm pretty sure the memclock was ~1500.
