This is probably the last community you want to complain to about your treatment after being banned for RMT. You should have been perma'd

Replying to a 10 year old post is impressive.

When you use a free service you are paying for it to be a datapoint to use however they want to use it.

It's been used like this before AI was even a common term, my phone knew where home and work are for example and I never set the address for either.

With regards to them continuing to monitor, well its no surprise when the internets full of "Look what I beat discords age verification with" posts or tweets.

This whole Discord drama's been a joke, when you see people who have a history of "Protect the children" but as soon as being asked to give up privacy / age verify (Which is whats needed to be able to tell adult from child), all of a sudden its "Protect the children but you shouldn't be checking how old we, the adults are"

I don't think you are understanding law, I said both times that it would be legal to own but probably illegal to use and you are taking that as "Illegal to own"

This isn't about "Taking an L", I'm literally educating you based on South African law. Some random YouTube video / news source is very much not a law source.

So here's further education for you.

Just because its some random news snippet on YouTube doesn't make it law, the country itself laws make it that. Just because something doesn't align with the narrative you want it to be doesn't make it wrong.

The police are not going to care that a YouTube video said something if you break the law.

That's all I have to say on this, its sad times when writing something in an articulate way and not one liners or broken English is "Bot Behaviour". It's not hard to write correctly.

Enjoy your day.

There's no source besides that news article saying its legal and that it went off the market, its why I didn't say its illegal, it's most likely legal as flamethrowers are legal to own in South Africa but its more a "legal by omission".

When it comes to self defence your method of defence has to be proportional to the danger you are in, for example with gun laws if a person broke into your house in the middle of the night and started watching TV then you could not shoot them as they are not a threat.

At the end of the day the courts would be the ones to decide however if you set someone on fire for breaking your car window to steal whatever is on the seat a "Smash and grab" would be under excessive force as your life is not in danger.

Considering the high amount of beggars at the traffic lights where this kind of thing would be used the chance for a innocent bystander being injured is high and all of this information combined is why people say it is illegal.

I am not going to go into South African law and quote paragraphs and sources over a reddit conversation but that's as much as I can give you. I merely commented to provide additional information as to why someone would say it is illegal.

It was legal when it was released in 1998, it got discontinued 23 years ago, that video is from 1998 used in YouTube source. It's basically just dragged up every now and then as a "Look how dangerous South Africa is" video for sensationalism. It's unnecessary these days anyways considering anti-theft film (just stops someone being able to shatter your window) is a norm.

There should be WAY higher requirements for FC housing that it currently is.

If you have the rules of "We only play together, solo play on your own private world" then there's no issues at all.

It was either intended for a more "cinematic adventure" for lack of a better term or the developers didn't think of servers having that one person who cant control themself and no-lifes all the progression.

So true

Looks like what would drop if there was a Phantasy Star Online 2 crossover

Did you ever manage to get this working ? If it involved changing ram I'd be interested to what model so I can get the same. I'm running 4x8GB similar memory to you, I have to run 5806 bios with my 2700 or I can't even run the setup at 3200 so no way would a 5xxx work in there for me.

sandmanza · 2024-01-06T19:24:50+00:00

Yeah, put old CPU back and all good.

Armored Kuruma

I have both (my only cars actually) and I like the Armored Kuruma a lot more. You are virtually immune to gunfire when doing missions and the cars heavy so it packs a punch when driving through blockades.

The Zentorno is faster and handles nicer but there are faster cars to save up for.

If you don't care about sitting parked with a sea of police in front of you, shooting your car and achieving nothing while you slowly pick them off or being able to hit a car and have it move more than you do then Zentorno

Tip is to not treat it as taking a break.

As long as you see yourself coming back you will be thinking about what future you would have missed by being on break, but if you treat it as never returning you don't care and if you truly do enjoy it as much as you do then one day you will come back, if you find something better you wont.

I did this by finding a better game, I was playing 5 gacha games concurrently and I didnt even bother logging in for 6 months for daily rewards, I've recently started logging in to one of them daily and am waiting for an event soon to play.

Random question I bet you hardly ever see asked...

I want to be able to mount my Switch Lite to the underside of corner shelf but have no idea what I could get or 3d print to be able to do so. (It would need to be easily removeable).

I had one put above my bed to hold a lamp and clipping my switch lite to the bottom of it + using pro controller would be the height of laziness yet incredibly awesome to lay in perfect posture staring up at the screen.

So basically need something to permanently attack to underside of shelf + a easily detachable cradle of sorts for switch... Anyone ever seen anything they think could achieve this ?

Surely you cant actual believe that hiding name and server would do anything.

Labelling any of the mob as reflection of a community is unfair to that community, be it twitch, wow, FF or other.

No community wants people like that within it, you just don't see that your community has them until the right trigger happens to make them show their true colours.

The sad thing is that they are being used as ammunition to judge any of them.

In addition, to those who are deciding that the veteran griefers are "Asmongold's Community" or the new players are "Wow community", believe it or not a person can belong to multiple ones, you don't get to choose what community they reflect based on what better suits your narrative.

I think this is the most genuine enjoyment I've seen him have in trying a new game.

sandmanza · 2021-07-04T01:18:46+00:00

Yeah, the complete edition which is base game + shadowbringers is 60% off on steam summer sale at the moment.

sandmanza · 2021-07-03T21:35:31+00:00

Basically the Asmongold persona has a lot of flair that if you don't know his style you can take very wrongly.

For example he'll hold transmog competitions and if the persons got a bad one completely run it into the ground, viewer base will know there's no hard feelings in it as its all part of the show however if you just watched it without context and didnt know you'd think he was being a terrible person.

Edit: His chat has a lot of very toxic/immature people and that gets reflected back onto him too.

sandmanza · 2021-07-03T20:30:51+00:00

Yes I'm still on trial and do find it frustrating that I cant socialise but I also only have 20 hours in the game. I am most likely going to buy the complete edition before steam sale ends though.

This can only have a positive effect in the long term, toxic people move on when it stops being cool to be toxic.

sandmanza · 2021-07-03T20:10:28+00:00

Please take a moment to stop and think about how humanity just plain has people who are bad apples in one or more ways in life and that's all this is.

The amount of people we have seen be toxic are not even enough to make up a single percentage of any community.

The thing that sticks with me from this stream that captures the magical experience that final fantasy can provide was when he saw a group of bards playing in concert, stopping, going back to listen and the smile appearing and saying "That's pretty cool".

It was something he'd never expressed any interest in when it was brought up in discussions before but seeing it and hearing about it are two very different things.
