Boy of Soy

There’s no place in reality that I can feel safe or comfortable. Anywhere that there is any chance of a human being perceiving me or me perceiving another human being is not a place that I can feel comfortable in. The only refuge that I can find is in books and video games.

might have to do a complete write up one of these days to show how nasty and deep all the crap goes with our politics and influences.

Please do. I’d love to read it. I’m a South Floridian who uses public transit and hates the fucking Brightline.

You claimed you didn’t give your opinion of me, just your opinion of why others hate me.

I did not claim this. I thought it was quite clear that I thought your take was deplorable.

When I suggested you hated me, you said that wasn’t true.

I did not state this. My rebuke of the “you hate me” thing was that you accused me of being dishonest.

You are either misinterpreting or willfully misrepresenting my words.

Frankly, you seem more interested in arguing with this strawman of me that you have created than actually engaging with my points and your intellectual dishonesty has become tiring and boring.

I hope you can one day realize that acknowledging that your opinions are bad does not absolve you of spreading them.

I do think it is reasonable. Too bad you didn’t do that.

That is not a reasonable expectation. You are not so special that it is an offense to reference your words without clearing it with you first. Your comments will always be taken at face value.

As you said yourself, “All I’m doing here is spotlighting your terrible opinion, which is relevant in a thread about why people don’t like you.”

I do not understand the relevance of this statement. Please elaborate.

Because, again, I am a flawed human being. Why can’t you accept that? Do you want me to say I’m perfect and wonderful and lovable and brilliant? Because I don’t think I’m any of those things, sorry.

I do not understand. You have the ability to change your opinions. Why would you post bad ones, knowing they are bad? I cannot comprehend knowing that you are doing something wrong and choosing to do it anyway.

Oh the irony.

Please elaborate. I have not made any presumptions about you. My opinion of you is solely based on the information that you have posted.

You mean you are spotlighting a terrible opinion I held at the time but didn’t ask whether or not I held it until I pointed out you didn’t ask.

Do you think it is reasonable to expect anybody referencing your words to reach out to you to ensure your publicly stated option is still up to date?

An opinion I have repeatedly suggested was not a good opinion.

If you know (or knew) it is not a good opinion, then why do you hold (or held) that opinion?

Which, I would say, suggests that whether I say I do or I don’t, you don’t actually care and are just throwing out a platitude because you would essentially be forced to if I say I don’t.

Your presumption of my intention is both incorrect and insulting.

It’s fine that you hate me, but just be honest about why.

This is another incorrect presumption of my intention. I have been true and honest in all my statements.

WTF are you on about now?

All I’m doing here is spotlighting your terrible opinion, which is relevant in a thread about why people don’t like you. If you no longer hold that opinion, then great, that’s growth. If you do, then I’m going to continue to refer to it as an example of your shitty takes.

I would have reasonably expected you to lead with that. You no longer belive that all politicians should be required to have their internet browsing history published?

If so, then I congratulate you on the personal growth.

So what you are saying (through an incredibly thick layer of condescension) is that you know your belief is wrong. And instead of changing your belief, you would rather maintain it, knowing it is wrong. That’s just bizarre.

Not offended, more just dumbfounded that someone could honestly not see how that is obviously a terrible idea.

FlyingSquid believes that your internet browsing history should be made public if you are running for any political position. Worst take of all time.

Thanks. Keep at it! The P5 grind was one of the most fun gaming challanges I have done. There’s also only one boss that I have not beaten on Radiant difficulty (Markoth is pure cancer).

I’ve long given up hope on Silksong. It won’t ever come out. My personal theory is that one of Team Cherry had a major life event and production will never resume.

There’s 3 that come to mind. I’ve beat Dark Souls 3 and all it’s DLC at level 1. I’ve beat Pantheon 5 in the Godhome DLC for Hollow Knight. And I’ve beaten all ascension levels for all characters in Slay the Spire.

As someone who has lived in Florida his whole life. Florida and everyone in it could be wiped off the map and nothing of value would be lost.

I’m literally playing through Alan Wake 2 right now and there’s been no forced diversity or tokenism whatsoever.

Are you just saying that because one of the main characters is a black woman?

My pet peeve is people using obscure acronyms without defining them first.

This still seems like a crazy take to me. Yeah, putting a giant watermark on a piece of art protects it from theft, but it also destroys the artwork.

Thats my favorite thing about roguelites and why Rogue Legacy is literally my least favorite one.

In roguelites with stat progression, there’s often little need to actually improve at the game. It’s just mindless grinding until your stats are high enough.

Enter the Gungeon does it best IMO. New weapons and items get added to the loot table, but you never unlock anything that just straight up makes you stronger.

You should never dislike on YouTube. They just view it as engagement and will give it you more. To actually get rid of content that you don’t like, you need to use “not interested” in the context menu.

This drove me crazy for a long time.

Doesn’t that just mean both the CEO and you are overpaid?

Just finished Sea of Stars. Really a beautiful classic style RPG. If you have any fond memories of games like Golden Sun, Chrono Trigger, or Breath of Fire, then it’s definitely a game for you.
