FFX HD driving me up the wall, about ready to start seriously raging.

I don't know if it's HD/Input lag or whatever but getting Wakka's Attack Reels to do 12 hits is absurdly difficult. I have the timing down, it just doesn't want to work 90% of the time. It's like the game doesn't even register that I hit the X button on the 1st reel and that just screws up the entire thing. You're supposed to set off the 1st one right away to get a 2 hit, then wait like half a second and hit X twice again quickly for the 2 2 2 hits.

Goddamn stupid Earth Eater & Greater Sphere, utterly retarded, rage-inducing bosses but this is the fastest way to farm them spamming Wakka's attack reels. Slice & Dice works too, but takes longer since Tidus only deals roughly half damage per strike x6 (blitz ace is even worse at 25x8 + 100% on the last hit if you get it).

You know, some of Mal's posts make me wonder if he's really DarkSydePhil.

If you work in an office in close proximity to others or in a cubicle farm, speaker phone is not for you.

wha? The HDTV lag is just annoying for FFX remake.

Wakka's reels weren't that big a problem on the PS2 version but the lag makes it so bad. I'm still amazed I was able to get Lightning Dancer ><


Also, f'ing Nemesis won't unlock and I can't figure out why. I have 10 of every creature and I went through all the arena bosses 1 by 1 so wtf... so I have to beat Sin 1st?

The feminist outrage machine.

We can't be upset that a person took it upon themselves to gun down several innocent people, we have to be outraged specifically because it was a man murdering women. It's not enough that it's a person murdering people, that atrocity alone doesn't suffice these days so it has to be framed in the context of us vs them.

I'm sick of the hatemongering.
I'm sick of the conspiracy theories.
I'm sick of the divisive rhetoric.
I'm sick of watching people I respect become the very monsters they fight.

Everybody's got funny theories for these sorts of things.

Oh Dark Yojimbo, why must you cockblock me from victory (the irony being I've beaten every other Dark Aeon + Nemesis using Zanmato rofl)


I hate sphere farming . _ .

The problem is, in this case, this kid actually did kill women because he was a misogynist, he had this crazy manifesto and fell in with several groups of people who honestly believe that women should be in concentration camps. So it's kind of hard not to focus on that.

I spent this weekend at Disney World. As always, I had a great time, and it's wonderful to get away for a few days and ignore the world, which, with the kind of things people are saying on the internet nowadays (especially the really misogynistic types), has been a really damn good thing. Some of the crap I was reading about this incident made me really angry.

It's a mix of both. Dude clearly had it out for women, but he was definitely fucked up something fierce in the head.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Oh no doubt, really I think anyone who truly buys into misogyny/misandry is not right in the head. I don't mean to diminish the fact that he was mental, but people are going to focus on the other factors.

At least it wasn't video games (again).

That's kind of the parallel I'm drawing from all of this and why the self righteous zealous fury irks me. All my friends would be rolling their eyes going "not this shit again" if it was another round of "oh noes, video games", but instead they're wielding the same kind of hatred and fury that they so often scorn.

Anyone who does what this kid did is out of their goddamn mind.
Anyone who's on board with misogyny/misandry in general is out of their goddamn mind.
Someone who's out of their goddamn mind lost their tenuous grip on reality, they snapped and they killed a whole bunch of innocent people. That's a reason to mourn and reflect, not to further stoke the fires of antagonism.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I think everyone on this board can agree that there's a HUGE difference between misogyny and video games (even if the industry of one is plagued by the other--another bullet point in the laundry list of problems that systematic misogyny has brought upon society at large).
