It is difficult to change though. Especially if its with voice chat and goes unrecorded because then its just one person's word against another's. Its not a perfect solution, but muting people is definitely the easiest.

I'd say the problem with that video is that it simplifies the issue to be just about racism when in reality online gaming is toxic in just about every context. Everyone gets treated by shit in online games. Everyone. To be fair, the N word is often a go to insult for a lot of scumbags online(especially kids) so if you're black I can see how that would hit you harder then it would hit someone else but generally people don't call people the N word because they know they are black and are trying to be racist, they do it because they are idiots that call everyone that.

I think this is true too. Assholes are gonna be assholes, especially when they're anonymous. If they're not calling you the N word, they're calling you a different insult anyway. Hell, they'll probably keep calling you the N word whether they know your race or not. A lot of dudes are just mean people and being anonymous with no consequences means they'll say anything to aggravate you, no matter how offensive.

lmfao are you white?

lmfao do you think someone asking you where you're from is that horrible of a thing?

It's a statement more than it is a question
"You're not from around here"

If I heard that five times total in my life, I'd feel okay about it.
If the implication that I wasn't an American wasn't given to me at least twice a month by some moron who saw an Asian person for the first time in months, then I'd feel okay about it.

You ever feel like you just don't "belong" for reasons you can't control?
Even though you have every right to belong and you DO belong?

It IS a big deal, and not having to deal with these implications is part of white privilege lmfao
i'm 24 now so the question affects me less
but at 10 it doesn't feel amazing

I don't mean any offense by this and I can sympathize with you, that sounds obnoxious. That said, its still not a major thing. Unless you're getting your ass kicked for it, someone being an ass to you isn't the worst thing in the world. Its not stopping you from your bills getting paid. Its not putting your life in danger.

And if it did go that far for you, then I apologize and you're right. Then its a big deal. But that's not what was implied in the op.

"white privilege" is stuff like not having to deal with being asked where you're really from or whether you speak english or not,

having people who look like you dominantly represented in media (which in turn instills in society the idea that white is the standard, white is the norm),

not having any slurs that reach the level of dehumanization that the n-word and others do,

being labelled "mentally ill" - which actually provokes sympathy - instead of being outright branded a "thug" or "terrorist" whenever you do something heinous

As someone who can agree white privilege exists to a certain extent, these are really weak points and don't really help your argument imo. Most of these aren't really a big deal at all.

Not just with race, I think you could say it about anything and people would react the same way. People don't like having other people tell them they have it easy, true or not, and they get defensive.

MGS4 for me. There were a lot of things I didn't like about it but it did feel like a more finished package and still had most of things I'd want in a Metal Gear game. Chapters 1, 2, and even 4 were pretty good, but they did kind of drop the ball with 3 and 5 in a lot of ways. But the game did have some cool new ideas here and there. Plus I probably enjoyed it more than V at launch due to being 7 years younger.

MGSV was a massive disappointment for me and felt rushed out the door. I think it had mountains of potential but just fell short on almost every aspect, at least for me personally.

And I don't understand how people can say it has the best gameplay in the series. Controlling Snake feels nice and smooth but the level design is almost non existent and the game is brokenly unbalanced and easy. Not trying to attack anyone's opinion or say you can't like it, just saying I don't get it.

It really should have been obvious. The young pretty girls (even average looking ones) won't give guys like me the time of day. This is because they know that they can get pretty much any guy they want. They get plenty of attention from various men. So they don't have to settle. They can be picky. But girls that are 1/10 are probably shunned by most men. Because of how hideous they are, most guys probably look right through them. So they go after any guy who will just be nice to them and talk to them. Guy like me. It seems like these are the only type of girls that I attract. So either I stay single and lonely because the decent looking girls only want the best looking men and won't give average guys like me a chance, or I lower my standards down to the gutter and settle for a girl that I'm not the slightest bit attracted to, just to have somebody. It's really a no win situation.

Assuming this is all real, if you won't settle and only want to date up, why should any more attractive woman settle for you? You don't want people you deem hideous but you want hot people to choose you over someone who's better? If you want to be chosen over other people, then you need to better yourself. You can't have nothing going for you and expect to be dating someone who does.

And I understand wanting someone who you're at least attracted to, but looks aren't everything. No offense, but your personality is extremely off putting. You seem like a miserable person. When you're miserable and angry at the world, people can see that and they don't wanna be around you. Deny it if you want, but that's the reality of the situation. For the most part, people wanna be around positive, happy people and they want to avoid negative, mean, angry people.

I'd say you should ignore dating right now and just focus on yourself.

Because Americans are stupid, and should never be allowed near guns.

Seriously, why do you need a gun. Really think about it. Ok other people have guns, and so you want one too to protect yourself. But what if that other person didn't have a gun? Would you still need your little toy?

Grow the fuck up America.

Its possible for other people to get guns illegally. And a gun isn't the only threat to people. Someone could pull a knife on you or simply be bigger and stronger than you. A gun would allow you to defend yourself much more easily in that situation. That's not to say guns are absolutely needed, I'm just saying that just because the other person doesn't have a gun doesn't mean a gun can't be used in self defense, if only as a deterrent.

which yo










Ocarina of Time - barely played it all, but everyone tells me to play it and I do have it. I'd like to give it a shot, I really like old games from that gen but I never really played OOT back then.

Breath of the Wild - put a decent chunk into and enjoyed a lot of it, but kinda lost interest at some point and never finished it.

Yakuza Ishin / Kenzan / that PSP one - barely played these but I own them all. I'm kind of a Yakuza fan boy but I haven't played that much of these because of the language barrier. Also there's supposedly a fan patch for Kenzan and Kurohyou which might be worth waiting for. Also Ishin could be announced for the west one of these days. Maybe. Probably not actually.

Devil May Cry 3 / 4 / dmc - barely played these. I played 1 and loved it, but 2 was kinda boring and dragged on for too long. I know 3 and 4 are better, but I just haven't gotten around to them yet since 2 burned me out super hard. I have DmC too.

Mass Effect Andromeda - played the first mission. I know its janky but I'd like to give it a proper run through at some point

Witcher 3 - played a small chunk like 2 years ago. I finished the first two games right before this which did kind of burn me out a little bit.

Prince of Persia Forgotten Sands - almost finished it. Its pretty fun, story is kinda eh tho. Been randomly playing it every now and then for the last year

AC Origins - only did the first couple missions. Not my favorite AC game so far but I heard its good so I hope it gets better. But I don't even have the hidden blade or lethal stealth kills yet

Sly TiT - only on the second map. This one is really kinda boring me tbh, but I loved the first 3 games.

Rise of the Tomb Raider - almost done this one I think. Not a bad game
