also, whenever we're talking about our favourite anything / the best anything, it's best to really be specific, which is something I realized I didn't do nor anyone else

for example

when cerno said that MW2 is one of their favourite games, did they mean it was the game that they have one the fondest memories of but wont really play today or one of their favourite shooter to play in this current date?

for me, the games I listed where the ones I enjoyed the most while I was playing them, not the best games I would recommend today. It's better to clarify to avoid confusion

for the list i kinda just merged both together, games that were/are genuinely great or ones that i had fond memories playing. mw2 was simply just my first shooter, and my first experience in multiplayer gaming in general, hence why it’s on there.

the same goes for Hitman blood money, the controls and overall gameplay of that game is outdated as shit in today’s standards. But it was a game that i sank hundreds of hours into back in my youth

Car guy didn't mention Gran Turismo???
Or Ace Combat? I don't know why there's a big overlap between car guys and plane guys
The only Gran turismo game i played back then was GT4, and younger me wasnt really a fan of sim racing back then, i just really liked NFS's more arcade racing, so i didnt play it that much, maybe older me would have liked it now, but i currently havent tried playing it again, i am playing GT7 currently, and while i do enjoy playing it and its multiplayer from time, and the fact its the only "good" modern racing game currently, the negative's of the game make it not one of my favorites.
-
Havent played Ace combat but I do remember enjoy playing a lot of flying sims back then, and younger me likes to crash the plane most of the time, so yeah... i was a plane fanatic back then, but nowadays not so...
Yeah I'm not a huge fan of racing sims either (I'm very bad), NFS games were lots of fun when I was a kid

I literally just meant your favorite, favorite meaning "one that is treated or regarded with special favor or liking". What games you like the most, now, currently?

I'm not gonna lie, I thought pretty obvious as well what I meant.

it's not that clear cut most of the time tbh. For example, when you're talking about "the greatest game ever", some people refeer to the original mario bros as it had a lot of impact, however, by modern standards, mario 1 is not the greatest game ever made. When the argument is presented, is hard to argue against mario 1 being the greatest game ever unless we specify the grounds we're talking about. With favourites is the same thing really, someone will call the favourite the one that they're playing the most rn, not the one that they have enjoyed the most in the past and other similar things

Plutonium only works for mw3, bo1, bo2 and waw i think.

also for the newer cods, so far the new mw3 multiplayer has been pretty fun. though charging it full price for essentially just a patch/dlc that woulda made mw2 a better game is extremely unjustified

Ah man, i forgot about Burnout 3, i loooooove playing that game as a kid when i had a ps2, especially the crash mode.

I think i had more time doing the crash mode than the actual racing xD

New question: Do you use a laptop or a computer? Which one do you think is better?

I personally use a gaming laptop currently due to uni, but before this I had always used a PC as my computer. I personally like a computer more, not gonna lie. I don't like how limited hardware wise laptops are. No way to upgrade or easily change a component if it goes bad.

I'm personally using a laptop for school, and it's convenient having a single device, but I agree that laptop are more expensive, less durable and less performant than a full computer.

Recently, got a gaming laptop cuz im going to college soon and i need to use it for studies, for me i think both have there advantages and negatives

Computer is better if you want more power and graphics and is flexible on upgrading

While laptop is better for well... going around with it

So i dont think there really is a better option, it just depends on the situation and stuff.

I use a gaming laptop, a terrible shortsighted decision I made when I was 15.
Not the greatest for gaming, not the greatest for school stuff due to battery life (which I value more now).

Overall desktop is better for things you only need at home (like gayming) but laptop is more convenient for anything you might need in different places (work/school basically)

If I had to choose though, I'd use a laptop due to portability. Desktops are pretty good tho but since upgrading is not something I can really afford, it'd not make much difference to me.

the reason i never finished the game was because i would spend my session just playing crash mode lol. would constantly try and one up my pb and it never gets boring because its just so satisfying to see your car cause a national tragedy every single fucking time. i think till this day i still remember the exact line for my high score in waterfront lol.

ea was defo cooking something in the early-mid 00's dawg the amount of masterpieces the churn out across multiple genres during that period was insane. its defo sad to see the state they are in now in hindsight.

--------
ot: been using latop for all my life but would 100% switch to pc. never had one because of space and money constraints tho and probably never will during my time in uni aswell. indonesian dorms are absolutely shit. currently residing in one of the cheaper ones and its fucking cramped as fuck and the more expensive ones are worth a fortune. so even if i have enough money to aford a pc setup i probably wouldn't even get to use it because of the lack of space :shrug:

the zelda games from the nintendo 64, which also happen to be the first videogames i've ever played. one hell of an introduction i'd say

there's also a lot of games that i still remember fondly even today but the list is too large and i'd have to spend an entire day writing them down, which i don't wanna

both
depends on your needs honestly. i use a computer for posting/playing videogames/any recreational activity and a laptop for job stuff. they serve different purposes and i wouldn't say one is inherently better than the other

i've always been very open about playing this game (when i still played it, that is) and even managed to make some classmates play (without even trying to convince them)
(i think it was the fact that i put the big black on auto and made it look like i was the one playing the map, flawlessly hitting all the notes. they were like HOLY SHIT DUDEEEE THAT IS COOL WHAT IS THIS GAME CALLED)

What's your general opinion on internet privacy? You think it is possible or not?


My opinion
I believe privacy to be possible, but not anonymity. Full anonymity isn't really possible IRL for obvious reasons and I don't believe it should be possible online either. Privacy, on the other hand, is important and very definitely possible online, sometimes at the cost of convenience, though.

depends on the definition of privacy, me having a profile in osu! and people not being able to find me on discord? absolutely not, companies not stealing data? I think that in the long run (like 100/200+ years if humanity does not end) I don't think that would be a issue

privacy, imo is like not showing detailed infos about u. luckily google and other sorts of search engines made it harder to find any detailed info about a person's work data. as long, as i do not post my full name on the internet, I'm pretty much safe. so it's quite possible.

New question



What's your opinion on social media as whole? What's your favorite social media platform and why? Do you think forums like this one provide an alternative to social media or not?

My opinion on this
I think it's overall beneficial for us, however we need to be careful how we use them, as these websites can become really dangerous. I'm talking here mainly about overspending time on them, not fact checking/thinking for ourselves about what is presented to us, getting a twisted sense of how things actually go down IRL, outside.

My favorite social media platform has to be YouTube. It provides the most for its users and allows creators to express everything what they want, more or less, without limitations.

I mean, social media as the name implies is as social thing. If you want to socialize, you have to use social media 95% of the time. Is that good? idk, I haven't lived in an age when it didn't exist, social media is older than me

my favourite social media platforms is whatever my friends are on. I have no loyalty for a cetain product or company, I just use social media because one must use social media, even if you want to do something outside it, like find movie recommendations, all of the recommendations nowadays are shared on social media

now, for the typical argument of "people are spending too much time in social media!!!"

yeah

idk what to say to that it's just the way life is. It's true that websites could be less predatory in the way they show certain information like followers or whatever so it isn't as big of a focus. But I just thing the way the actual argument is carried out most of the time is kinda empty. There is no solution for someone to just stop being hypersocial or trying to live a better life than others or making your life look better than it is. All of that has existed since the dawn of human history, social media just amplifies it like it amplifies all elements of the social life.

Of course we should not just give up and allow everyone to become addicts, it's good that there is a negative
connotation torwards those actions. But I just think this problem is here to stay

Forums ARE social media. Just an older version of it. So no, it's not an alternative to social media, because forums are social media

I wish it didn't exist in the form it does today

Current social media is a plague on society, because they're so big and visible it makes it much harder to stay anonymous (especially when they require you to share personal identifiable information), making social media take way too much space in people's lives
How dystopian is it that recruiters will stalk your social media profiles for a job? There's even social media made specifically for that (LinkedIn)
Also because it's all connected, groups that are very opposed and used to be on their own spaces (forums/IRC/Usenet) are now on the same platform, leading to lots of fighting and self-sustained hatred, it's a vicious circle (Filter bubble, pressure by the group you belong to, fear of rejection...)

Being able to connect with people all over the world online is amazing, forums are great for well thought discussions (or even fun stuff) and things like IRC/Discord are great for instant chats
Both are separated into small groups depending on interests or other factors (language, location, age...), it's a great way to meet new people you have something in common with while avoiding people you wouldn't want to meet (see above)
Even though most are technically just as public as big platforms, because there are so many it's much easier to stay anonymous if you don't connect your different profiles by directly sharing them, using same username/avatar or sharing PII

I don't really understand why people consider YouTube to be a social media platform
I guess it can be if you're very active in comment sections or post content yourself but to the vast majority of people it's just a place to watch stuff, like Netflix or TV

They deviated a lot from their original concept of just meeting people or connecting with someone you haven't talked in a while. Heck, even a chatting app like Telegram is closer to social media than whatever Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and others are right now.

I sometimes looking for countless references in Instagram and Pinterest. Maybe something funny to blow some steam off with local memes but that's generally it. I use web apps of Instagram so It only load the necessary things and I disabled all the notification. The sluggish nature of web app also makes to break habit of sharing things to others

I'm going to be honest with y'all, I struggle to come up with new ideas, so if things slow down, you know why now.

Can I ask the next question or give ideas for one?

Oh yeah, you can suggest questions. Please do so in private, though. My discord is my osu username. My osu DMs are open as well

I'm going to be honest, I don't watch vtubers. I don't have an interest in them and tbh with you, I think if I were to do that, it would just be pretty boring since I know nothing about them

New question


What's your opinion on e-dating?

Suggested by eblf2013

My view on it
I don't mind it personally. I see it as a valid way to meet and have an intimate relationship with someone. It's just that there are a lot of factors at play, but then a real relationship also has a lot of factors at play. Ultimately, however, if the two partners are actually happy with the relationship, then I don't see the issue with it. I just hope that neither partners has a double life of sorts that their e-partner doesn't know. I also hope that, eventually, the partners will meet IRL and spend time together.

Edit to add more my opinion: I won't do it myself, to be honest. There are too many roadblocks and the factors that come into play are much worse online than IRL. I do think you can somewhat bond with someone online, but it isn't enough to base a romantic relationship on.

I guess the TL;DR is that I don't care if other people do it, but I won't personally do it for that the risks and limitations are too much for me to handle.

I personally only consider e-dating stuff like dating over discord when that person isn't really nearby IRL, online datings app like tinder or just using social media to find a partner is not something I consider e-dating

e-dating is complicated, I personally would never e-date anyone. It's just, you don't have any guarantees for anything, while e-dating, it's not just only that you cant meet irl with them which in my opinion is already a pretty big and bad limitation. But it's just, they could just delete their profile randomly and you wouldn't know, they could be talking to other people IRL, they could just not be the person they told you they were, they could be catfishing you, there are just so many things that could go wrong, and when you combine that with the limitations. I just dont personally see it.

Not only that, but here in osu! specifically (and tbf other online communities), e-dating is the source of many, many problems. Most of the tweets you see in osu!drama days are some sort of discord grooming. Which ends up really really erally bad for both parties and is straight up illegal, and just those scenarios are more likely than IRL, since it's easier to lie, easier to meet people for better or for worse, and easier to do dumb shit like that

it's just, unless you have a guarantee that like you're planning to move to another place before getting in the relationship and you could just go live with them. Which in that circustances is fine since the e-dating thing is just a phase. I would advice to not e-date. If you want a partner, just look IRL

To me dating implies planning a long term relationship, possibly living together, even though it may not work in the end.
For it to even have a chance to work you need to know what the person is like IRL and try to live every day life with them. If e-dating is only temporary and you plan on spending time (like vacation) together then it's fine.
While making friends, even best friends, online is definitely possible you'll usually want to meet and spend some time together IRL, and that takes years most of the time. Since part of dating requires meeting IRL an exclusively online relationship doesn't make sense to me.

If it's just kind of a RP thing and both are aware of it then it's fine I guess but many times I've seen people e-dating where only one of the parties involved was taking it seriously.
I also have yet to find people who e-date the same person for more than a few weeks or months.
In my experience it just doesn't work even for people who pretend it does for them (that's the saddest thing).

I don't really like it either. If I was to choose a person I was to spend a sizable portion of my life with, I'd rather be able to see them IRL and be able to do stuff with them IRL. I don't really see how you could bond with someone over the Internet.

On top of that, I'd actually like to see the person face to face, to see how they are and how they behave. You can't really do that online either. You would hate it when you realise that the person you thought was a sweetheart to turn out to be a venomous snake, would you?

I won't do it myself either, to be honest, for the same reasons you guys gave above. I do think you can somewhat bond with someone online, but it isn't enough to base a romantic relationship on. I'm adding this to my opinion, since I forgot to mention it.

What. The. Fuck?

E dating is rubbish imo. For all you know, it's not a cute asian named Kylie, it's an old man named Gilbert.

I don't think it's necessarily bad but somewhat complicated for these reasons: e-daiting is difficult to mantain due to distance, the fact that you might not know the other person in its entirety, the fact you cannot really physically intimate with them (not even a cuddle heh); and as others have stated, if you are a minor, just don't. You can only get so far with someone online and unless you're e-dating someone near your zone, the chances of turning an online relationship into a real one would be slim.

Also, I tried once or twice a few years ago and I don't recommend it.

Opps, forgot to ask the new question yesterday. Here we go now





New Question



Dark themes or light themes?

I use light themes everywhere I can. The reason is because when reading text, especially large amounts of it, on a dark theme, the text becomes blurry and I begin having double vision of the text, like an outline of it follows wherever I look for a few seconds. On light themes, this doesn't happen, so I use them.

What's your opinion on social media as whole? What's your favorite social media platform and why? Do you think forums like this one provide an alternative to social media or not?
1. Its ok, sometimes good, sometimes bad, its best for people to learn the do's and don'ts on what to do in there first
2. Yt and Reddit for more specific kinds of content mostly, sometimes FB but its more leaning to IRL stuff there so i barely post there
3. Im pretty sure this is already counted as social media so...

I think its alright if you know the person your dating with, like you known each other for a long time, or you met irl, or your close buddies, but then its not really that kind of e-dating then so i wouldnt advise doing it.

Dark theme, sometimes i would even activate Night Light on my computer and put it on a lower setting so it can help my eyes with the warmer color.

New question:


What do you think about physical media? Do you believe to still be relevant?

Suggested by eblf2013



I find physical media neat, even though I didn't really share this experience much. I find the idea of collecting and digitizing physical media really cool and neat, though, and I want to experience it someday. I believe it is still relevant for archiving purposes and also personal enjoyment as seen in collecting such media.

physical media is better than digital media, like for example, i want to own a green day american idiot cd so i can listen to their songs without having to go on amazon music/apple music/etc! and most games that my friends and i have are physical media too! physical media as a whole is cool, and i think that everyone should dive into the world of it at some point in their lives
