| Topic | Lmao the Fyre Festival fiasco is hilarious |
| streamofthesky 05/07/17 3:52:35 PM #18 | papercup posted... Lightning Bolt posted...I don't get why people find this funny any more than any other fraud claim. It's more about the victims' stupidity (seriously, read about the marketing for this festival, anyone w/ half a brain could smell the bs through their computer screen), how much they were paying per ticket for such shit music acts, and the fact that some compared their plight to refugees, hurricane disaster victims, etc... Makes it really easy to not feel bad for them, and pretty enjoyable to laugh at them. For what it's worth, I laughed my ass off over that tumblr convention ("DashCon"?), too. Stupid people getting scammed in over the top brazen fashion like both of those events is inherently funny. |
| Topic | What's the most you've spent on a free to play game? |
| streamofthesky 05/07/17 10:44:32 AM #52 | I avoid playing them at all and don't think I ever have, unless Free To Play includes ANY free games, even ones w/o micro-transactions. In that case, I used to enjoy some Newgrounds flash games way back (in particular some sort of first person perspective slasher where you're a samurai wandering through dungeon-like castles I forget the name on). And Exit Fate is an amazing free Suikoden-inspired game made w/ RPGMaker, one of the best RPGs of the past decade or so. But I've spent $0 on them regardless. |

| Topic | Do you like Cinco De Mayo? |
| streamofthesky 05/05/17 9:03:03 PM #23 | Went to a Mexican restaurant (no, not Taco Bell :p) several days ago. Waiter asked if we were coming back May 5th b/c they were having a big Cinco de Mayo celebration. In turn I asked if they do anything special for Sept. 16th. Waiter asked me, "what's that?" :D I find it rather silly that Cinco de Mayo is a more important holiday than their own independence day, and I don't drink, so I don't particularly care for Cinco de Mayo. Like St. Patrick's Day, it's just another evening I have to avoid being out on the roads to avoid a massive increase in drunk drivers and (even worse) cops set up to nail said drunk drivers but who would probably be fine w/ nailing me for going 5 over the speed limit while they're out there. I do love Mexican food, though. |
| Topic | Simpsons Episode is BANNED in RUSSIA because it MOCKS CHRISTIANITY!!! |
| streamofthesky 05/05/17 1:23:22 AM #3 | There was a Simpsons episode where Homer's in the kitchen working on a crossword puzzle. Asks...i think Bart...for help. He needs a word that starts with C for a set of ideas that sounds good in principle but never works out in reality. Instead of the expected "Communism", Bart suggests "Christianity" and Homer replies, "that's the one!" Can't remember which episode, but that's what I immediately thought of when I saw this topic. :D (both b/c it's about making fun of Christianity and the fact that it's about Russia...used to be Communist) |
| Topic | Some games that IGN thinks are better than FFVII (And obviously aren't) |
| streamofthesky 05/04/17 9:25:49 PM #16 | Tales is better than FF VII and Xenoblade is DEFINITELY better. Never played Stardew, didn't look interesting at all. FF VII is tied w/ OoT for most overrated game of all time, it's a pretty mediocre RPG that's completely inferior in every way to its own predecessor in the series (just like OoT, in fact...), I'd put dozens of RPGs ahead of it. They put Legend of Dragoon and Super Mario RPG lower than FF VII, that's wrong. The Legend of Dragoon follows Dart, a traditional RPG protagonist who just really can’t catch a break. His parents are killed, his hometown is destroyed — twice — and on his way home from a journey to avenge them he’s attacked by a really cool dragon named Sandora. It's named Feyrbrand, damn it! Looks like the list isn't complete yet, but aside from some obvious big names that will be at the top of the list (like Chrono Trigger), what the actual fuck at none of these appearing yet: ANY Suikoden game! Radiant Historia FF VI and Tactics (since they have so many FF entries already, I wonder if either will be left out) Seiken Densetsu 3 Baten Kaitos Origins or EW & LO (the first game of the series) |

| streamofthesky 05/04/17 12:29:59 AM #4 | I don't even trust cops, like fucking hell I trust bounty hunters! That's absolutely despicable, execute all seven of these bastards if it's legal in TN (what a fucked up state if capital punishment of convicted murderers is seen as too cruel but armed convoys of bounty hunters are A-OK), life in prison if not w/ no chance of parole! No provocation, no weapons on the victims, no attempt at all to fight back. Just a straight up extra-judicial execution by yokels who think they're above the law. |

A lot of traditionally "boy's" toys like Legos and Erector sets are pretty f***ing expensive. 55% is a huge difference, so wtf toys are parents buying for girls when plenty of boys' toys are expensive, too?

Cool, thanks. shadowsword87 posted... streamofthesky posted...Well, all clothing is pretty generalized It doesn't answer if it's actually a lot more expensive or women have a greater tendency to buy higher priced clothing items, though. |
| Topic | I had to shave my face this morning with a ladies razor |
| streamofthesky 05/03/17 1:14:45 AM #33 | shadowsword87 posted... Studies have shown that girls toys cost more than boys toys 55% of the time. Really? A lot of traditionally "boy's" toys like Legos and Erector sets are pretty fucking expensive. Girls clothing cost more than boys clothing 26% of the time. Well, all clothing is pretty generalized. But men's clothing is usually much simpler in design than women's clothing, partly due to how bodies are shaped. And again, pretty generalized. Is women's clothing a lot more expensive, or do women shell out more money than they need to to get "designer" brands while men don't give a shit as long as it's comfortable and looks ok? Just went to a wedding and my wife found plenty of nice dresses for $30 - $50 and ended up paying $12 for one from a store that sells previously owned clothing. Meanwhile, I needed a new dress shirt and that alone was $20. I luckily had everything else, but my pants were $35, dress coat $100, shoes $30 (payless FTW, otherwise dress shoes for men are easily 2x or 3x as much), belt...was so long ago I don't remember but probably $15, tie was around $15-20.... And I'm chea....err..."frugal" and only buy stuff on sale or at a really good price. Just saying. Women routinely pay over 25% more for haircuts than men – even though both take the same amount of labour. LOL, that's fucking bull shit |

| Topic | Not looking forward to when Democrats control DC again. |
| streamofthesky 04/28/17 2:36:59 PM #10 | It's Republicans who launch investigations on the Dems every chance they get. Whether it's what Bill Clinton's penis was doing or Benghazi! (like Jeb!, it just gets an ! by default now), or Hillary's emails (yet, they have no problem w/ Trump using a personal, unsecured phone...). I really don't care for the Clintons at all and never voted for either of them in my life. But that doesn't mean I'm blind. The Democrats SHOULD have launched an investigation on the Iraq war, but they didn't. Because they're pansies. And they will remain pansies, so you really have nothing to worry about. |
| Topic | Do you support the estate tax? |
| streamofthesky 04/28/17 2:08:30 PM #14 | Estate tax is a good tax. First off, they don't even tax the first several million dollars, so it only even hits the ultra wealthy. The estate tax will never effect 99% of this board, and that's an underestimate, if anything. And it helps limit how much of a giant leg up wealthy families can pass on to prevent a permanent nobility (well, restrict it...we definitely still have a permanent nobility). Also, nearly all money is taxed multiple times, stop acting like the estate tax is special. I get taxed on my income. Then that money, which has already been taxed, gets taxed again nearly any time I buy shit (sales tax), earn on my savings (and that's taxed at income rates, not capital gains, so that's a double fuck you), or do anything else other than keep the damn money in a mattress. |
| Topic | Breath of the Wild is officially tied 2nd best Zelda |
| streamofthesky 04/25/17 7:55:59 PM #20 | DorkLink posted... streamofthesky posted...I also feel like in general BotW just doesn't value my time, it ends up wasting so much of it. I consider that a major issue, others don't care and possibly even like a "grind." It's not just the literal grinding, though. The game seriously doesn't care about your time in general. Like any time you're trying to explore a mountainous area and it starts raining. If rain made it harder to climb so you need more stamina, fine. But it doesn't, it just plain shuts it down beyond very short distances you can force through w/ climb-jump. Or how there is literally no manual at all. You have to blunder through until you figure out how to do something on your own or catch it as a random loading screen tidbit. ("That's just Nintendo going back to the old school way" No, it's fucking not! Game manuals used to be pretty comprehensive and LttP for example outright gave you tips on where to go for the entire light world segment) Or in general how huge and empty it is. I hated that about OoT, and this game doesn't get a pass on it from me, either. At least the wild life makes it a bit "lively." |
| Topic | Breath of the Wild is officially tied 2nd best Zelda |
| streamofthesky 04/25/17 7:04:03 PM #9 | It's good, I'm not as enamored with it as you, though. Mostly because it has aspects to it that do nothing but frustrate and really should have been identified as adding nothing positive from playtesting. I also feel like in general BotW just doesn't value my time, it ends up wasting so much of it. I consider that a major issue, others don't care and possibly even like a "grind." I'd say my list goes: 1. A Link to the Past 2. A Link Between Worlds 3. Wind Waker (HD or original) 4. Breath of the Wild 5. Link's Awakening (next would be Zelda 1 or Twilight Princess...versions w/o motions controls at least) |

| streamofthesky 04/25/17 6:49:54 PM #45 | Kana posted... helIy posted...but you tip after you get your food It's true. My friend never admitted to spitting on someone's pizza, but he did know which houses didn't tip, and said the other drivers kept info on it, too. He'd intentionally hold onto the no-tipper's pizza for nearly an hour while delivering to other houses even though they put their orders in later. Seriously though. Why do some people think it's a good idea to piss off the employees who handle your food? I don't like tipping for pizza...so I pick it up myself. You want to be lazy, pay for it. |

| streamofthesky 04/25/17 4:10:20 PM #6 | 15 - 30% of the (pre-tax, pre-delivery charge) price. Asking in dollar amounts when we don't know the order price is a pointless question. Guy's bringing your food right to your home door, tip him at least as well as you would a waiter. EDIT: For a $24 order, I guess around $4 is good. |

Rule of thumb: ALWAYS request in writing (email) vacation and save the response at least till you get back. Then you have proof to counter any bs. Also, I would never check my work email while on vacation. And if they sent to my personal email, I'd ignore it, because fuck if my supervisor gets to know if/when I check my own personal email. |

These moralizing pieces of shit tell us that something is evil, then admit they did it themselves when they were younger (sex just for pleasure and hookups in Augustine's case), then have the gall to try and say that gives them greater authority to KNOW the supposed bad thing is bad! It always follows that formula, and for some reason no one calls them on their bull shit. Here's my bio: I don't do (recreational) drugs. Never have. Not smoking, not drinking, not marijuana, nothing. I don't even consume much caffeine. No matter what's legal, I probably never will, because intentionally compromising my mental faculties is the dumbest fucking idea I've ever heard (ie, "I'm dull"). Marijuana should be legal. Not because I want to do it....like hell the law stops people who want to. Because outlawing it is pointless, wastes money, fills (private, for-profit) jails, and has ushered in horrible police tactics like civil asset forfeiture and no-knock raids (not always visited upon the correct address, either...). Fuck St. Augustine, fuck Alex Jones, and fuck every other charlatan morale compass hypocrite that's existed between them! |

Literally "the only Nintendo home console I never bought for my own home" bad. PS1 meanwhile is Sony's 2nd best console, and there's no shame in being 2nd place to the PS2. It was no contest then, it remains no contest. My favorite PS1 games: Suikoden 1, Suikoden 2, The Legend of Dragoon, Command & Conquer Red Alert Retaliation, Eretzvaju, and Wild 9. My favorite N64 games: Smash Brothers and...that's it, really.... OoT and Majora's Mask were ok, but if I include games I found just "ok," the PS1 list would grow a lot more. |

SW is probably my favorite "Koei Warriors" series, it seems to innovate...in good ways...more than the mainline Dynasty Warriors series does. Every character has their own moveset (no clones) and their own story (some don't get a story mode and others share some cutscenes, but it's not strictly one story per faction like DW was), and the enemy variety tends to be better. |

| streamofthesky 04/20/17 10:20:17 PM #27 | Zeus posted... He's being handed two simultaneously. There are four possible outcomes. Ergo 2/4 or 1/2 Ok, first of all, the TC never said simultaneous, that's an assumption you and some others are inserting: He picks out two socks at random. Probability of pulling a matching pair? Second, even if it were simultaneous, as long as you're picking 2 different socks and not replacing the sock(s) you take out, you can treat the events as having a 1st and 2nd pick to make the calculations easier anyway. Finally, even if you want to look at it your way, you're not representing the situation correctly. You reach in at the same time w/ your left and right hands, and grab two different socks. Your subset of choices for each hand is: Left hand: the 4 socks in the drawer - the sock in your right hand = 3 socks to choose from Right hand: the 4 socks in the drawer - the sock in your left hand = 3 socks to choose from And I don't feel like doing that math from there, it's needlessly complicated and you're probably going to ignore what I type anyway. Instead, I'll re-post this response which shows how things work well enough for anyone to understand: streamofthesky posted...

There are now 2 pink socks (non-matching) and 1 white sock, leaving a 1 in 3 chance of a matching pair. The person is removing a sock after he picks each. He is not replacing them (at least as worded in the opening topic, otherwise he's not ending up w/ a pair of socks in hand anyway). If he takes out a white sock, he cannot select that white sock again on his 2nd pick from what was originally four. His 2nd pick is among a pool of three because one possible option has been removed. |

If you pick white, you have 1/3 of getting white again. It's 1/3 regardless. But fine, let's look at it your way. You have a 1/2 chance of the first pick being white. And a 1/3 chance after that of the 2nd pick being white. 1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6 chance. You have a 1/2 chance of the first pick being pink. And a 1/3 chance after that of the 2nd pick being pink. 1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6 chance. 1/6 + 1/6 = still 1/3 probability of getting matching colors. |

Doesn't matter if he draws them simultaneously or not, for the purposes of the problem, you can treat one draw as the "first." Whichever color he draws first, there are now three socks left. One is the matching color, two are not. Therefore, the probability he will draw a match is 1/3. |

I don't have particularly positive things to say about either OoT (Kana can certainly confirm this) or FF7 and it annoyed the hell out of me.

| Topic | Mythology |
| streamofthesky 04/20/17 2:31:21 PM #21 | Of those listed, I guess Greek. It's the Married: With Children of mythology, and that's awesome! Native American was tempting just because of how cool the Popuh Vul and legend of the Hero Twins is in Mayan mythology, but that's not enough to carry it. Xibalba is the coolest underworld ever, though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xibalba Japanese deities themselves don't really interest me, but that mythology probably has the best list of creatures. Hindu myths are pretty crazy, it's basically sci-fi before there was sci-fi. I'm not too familiar, but I've heard Celtic...in particular Irish myths...have some over the top stories. Judeo-Christian/Islam myths are pretty dull. Main story I like from them is Sampson, that dude was a badass. I guess the Exodus is pretty good, too. |

Saw one suspicious guy at the grocery store and put myself in a good position in case he made a move. Thankfully for him, he didn't. Definitely feel much safer with my blade and will keep it up. I think, on behalf of all of us, I just have to say thank you for keeping us safe. |

| streamofthesky 04/15/17 1:49:28 PM #16 | If i'm on a machine and someone else wants to use it, I ask if he or she wants to use it in between my sets since I'm not using it then anyway. But then again, I have a sense of etiquette. Not sure why he refused to use the open one, but apparently he really didn't want to. |
| Topic | I'm shocked that it took 5 days for the United incident to become about race. |
| streamofthesky 04/15/17 12:08:07 PM #2 | I usually am suspect of cries of racism over everything. But I read that all four of the people "randomly" chosen to be forced to leave the plane in that case were Asian. If that's true, that does seem like a pretty big "coincidence." |
