Statichead

I reccomend it to anybody who like having fun playing games.

yeah thats not me. Statichead is my secondary username for platforms that have my main already logged.

I love Ultrakill. While its mechanics are also extremely interesting, most of them either draw from other games or are inspired in some way.

What I want ot talk about is the story aspects of Ultrakill.

The blend of Christian and Greek mythologies is really cool and interesting, while also introducing an alternate universe where WWI never ended.

My two favorite unique additions to Ultrakill are in the form of V2 and Sisyphus Prime.

V2 introduces a supposedly superior version of yourself (V1) and makes you fight. I think thats a cool and pretty original concept.

Sisyphus Prime, while not as original as V2, still has a really cool lead-up and introduction that I think will be difficult to top for some of the coolest boss introductions in games.

On the off chance that there are other Ultrakill fans, I'd like to hear what you think.

I loved C2S2 (I think that was the spies one) because it had a fun map and characters and introduced the "factions." It also had a lot of fun new additions like the Travis Scott concert, the first hyper-customizable skin, and the original Deadpool crossover.

I think your healthcare plan sounds good.

i love gambling

if I understand you correctly, do you mean if health plans require actions like regular excercise and healthy diets?

perhaps they would offer a discount to sober people, non-smokers, and people who exercise. is that what you meant?

my input is likely redundant at this point in the thread but I agree, chess is more difficult. Poker is only chance with a side of light psychology

Nice to see you like bullet train, lol

I'll have to check out your movie too!

What is your favorite movie, and why?

--spoilers for Everything Everywhere All at Once and Bullet Train--

I'll go first: Everything Everywhere All at Once.

I love movies that have heart. Movies that are well made, have tons of action, but action with purpose. Another good example of this in my opinion is Bullet Train. Although not as good, Bullet Train has an overall fun and action-packed story with a reason for the action; it also has morals of luck and karma.

circling back to Everything Everywhere, it tells the story of a struggling mother who isn't good at anything useful to her. Her relationship with her daughter and husband is dwindling. Her life changes when she is selected as a last resort by a parallel universe version of her husband to stop a villain aiming to destroy the multiverse. the villain turns out to be a parallel version of her daughter, whos mind has been shattered across the multiverse. The mother voluntarilly shatters her own mind in order to save her daughter, to relate to her daughter for once in their life.

overall, I think Everything Everywhere All at Once is a beautiful movie and a must-watch.

what about yall?

cool!

Apologies to dig up this old thread, lol.

Speaking of stereotypes, you were not somebody I would expect to be wearing that profile picture. Is it ironic, or did I just severely misjudge you?

No argumentation here, just curious.

after an intermission of forgetting this website existed I have returned

Haha, mostly accurate. 

I have several favorites, even multiple for each platform. I gotta say though, one of my favorite games, and the one I typically say is my favorite although there are several, is Bioshock Infinite.

Bioshock Infinite was written very well and is a great end to the Bioshock series. I loved all the time and universe jumps, and the ending was great, even tying into the first two games in the Burial at Sea DLC.

two of my favorite movies are Everything Everywhere All at Once and Inception, so you can see where my mind likes to go when it comes to storytelling.

Otherwise, I loved Detroit: Become Human, and other similar games. If you have a good story to tell and a beautiful way to let us play it, you got me hooked.

On the other hand, I'm not much of a fan of Bethesda games. The Elder Scrolls and Fallout series are great, especially Fallout. I love that game's universe, I watched the TV show (and loved it) and generally really like Fallout. However, the games seem counterintuitive, can be quite difficult, and takes a hella long time to finish. Maybe I'm just impatient with poor writing though.

I think that a lot of debates on this site are either heavily backed by opinions or have no scientific evidence. most religion and trans debates seem to follow that construct. I don't like it. then again, what should people debate about? it seems as though everything these days is subjective.

hmu

From what I think would have happened if Hitler "won" (whatever that means) I'm glad he didn't. It really is a fascinating topic though, hitler's life as well as other dictators.

I guess we'll never know what would have happened though. For all I know the timeline where he wins the war leads to humans curing cancer and being peaceful, or he turns even more homicidal and kills all except those who look like him. Anything would have been possible. I think the latter would have been much more likely, which is why I'm content that he lost. 

Are you happy he lost, or would you have rather that he won WWII?

Please note I do not like hitler. He was a tragic man who made tragic decisions

1. he was indeed a great painter, a shame he didnt stay with that career path.

2. he could really rally a room, which i can respect.

3. adding on to #2, he was a very convincing man (and manipulator) to many people, which I can also respect.

4. He was very resilient, he took several years and some several colossal fuck-ups before he killed himself.

5. He survived several assassination attempts, including a bomb that killed a few of his men during a meeting. 

Please again note I very much do not like Hitler. He made an extremely tragic impact on history. These are just things that are somewhat respectable. Honestly, it was slightly difficult to make this list, but I tried.

this is really stupid. it is heil hitler. its a salutation and a show of allegiance. not a greeting.

@JoeBob

ok sure whatever

what up gang Im @Statichead i've been here for almost 2 years I think I haven't checked tho.

I rarely ever debate but I'm occasionally active in forums. I am any and all gender you wish to apply to me.

my pronouns are I/Don't/Care (not actually that would be weird, I usually say that as a complement to my prior statement.

I love science and being curious about the world. several things interest me. I hope to be well known one day.

anything I missed?

why

I guess it's up to preference. I prefer to have a more cohesive pfp while also supporting a small artist.

weird I havent seen any bots at all.

I saw one guy with an AI generated pfp but i dont think that was a bot

i aint listening to someone with an ai generated pfp lmao thats where my respect stops

mostly I think that it is bad because it is not serving everyone as it should. mainly the "rich get richer, poor get poorer" setup, which I wholly believe.

It certainly is performing well, but that doesn't mean that everyone is being treated well. big business monopolies are treating everyone terribly- cutting corners left and right to make even more profits while selfishly taking a little more from everyone else, leaving nothing for the individuals.

I can certainly appreciate your stance on immigration, but I also think there are some things wrong with capitalism. As you can probably guess, I live in the US, and right now the market hasn't been correcting itself like we've been told it's supposed to. What do you think about that?

makes sense

Humans have always needed/wanted scapegoats, and Jews have been around for centuries and provided a viable scapegoat for a variety of scenarios. It was mostly bad luck, but it stuck.

If I am understanding the question, then yes. not the craziest theory to grace your screen I'm guessing.

I definitely believe that Hamas is at fault for the situation, but I also think Israel could hold back even just a little bit more.

Great response, thanks

Don't believe everything you see, read, hear, or think. I like to say that the only thing I am ever sure of is that I am not sure of everything. I think it is much more likely that people have been lying for centuries than the existence of a god. But, as I previously mentioned, I can never be sure of that.

Maybe they do, I haven't studied them enough to understand their motivations.

On a similar note, what are your thoughts on the holocaust and how Jews have been discriminated against for centuries?

why is Hamas is cool?

no, I don't see Israel as the good guys at all.

The Israel-Palestine (or I should say Israel-Hamas) conflict is very complicated and indeed quite interesting. Let's talk about it. What do you think of it, Is there any side you think is right, etc.

To start off, I think that both the Israeli militaries and Hamas are completely at fault. The Palestinian citizens are experiencing a genocide of sorts, and Israeli citizens are becoming the victims of terrorist attacks. 

I think the conflict is not one-sided at all. Of course, this forum post won't do anything except open discussion, but I do think Hamas should disband as well as other terrorist organizations (including the CIA [that's mostly a joke but still they aint a great organization]) and Israel should stop attacking Palestinian citizens and give them their goddamn human rights.

So, what do you fellow internet dwellers think?

@Mall

gender is completely made up. It's like the dictionary, words change, are removed, and are added as society agrees that it should be. Of course, not everyone agrees with me which is fair. However, I truly think that just like words, gender is up to however the general people want to see it which is why I think it isn't "real." 

On the other hand, sex is completely real and biological. Even that isn't completely black and white, as everyone has different levels of hormones and brain chemistries that mix it up. That's not even mentioning intersex people.

@FLRW

hahahaha nice pfp to match your very particular set of skills. Skills you have acquired over a very long career. 

it's fun.

Males and females are not equal biologically, as each has certain skillsets evolved into their brain chemistry.

men and women however, are indeed equal, because the concept of gender is equally bullshit

does that answer your question?

whats poppin gamers

unfortunately its even worse than that

the pope has authorized same-sex marriage, even though it was considered a sin just a few years before. What changed???

you speak very poetically. you are a very interesting person. isnt it weird how we can see people on the street, have a conversation with them for two minutes, walk away, and never see them again?

isnt it weird how we can have many conversations on the internet, and yet never meet in real life? we'll probably never even know each others names. odd thoughts. odd thoughts

Thanks for the suggestion!

Why do you think I wouldnt understand it?

i miss george carlin a lot. I quote him on a daily basis and listen to his old shows so many times that I knw exactly what the next sentence is. I know every punchline, every commentary. 

one time i found an older recording from a show he did in Florida. Thing is, it was difficult to find because it was recorded privately and not officially.

I still knew every line, every joke, except one.

I laughed very hard at this. this joke is not even that funny. I just never heard it from this man I claim as my idol on this planet.
