genuinely confused by people here. I thought it was normal to wipe your ass while sitting.

I mean sure, you can do it while it standing too....but I mean, I'm already sitting down. The only guy I've known that couldn't do this sitting was a morbidly obese fellow. 450+ lbs

It's basically never scary.

tl;dr my rankings:
2 > 1 > 6 > 4 > 5 > 7 > 9 >>> 3 >>>>>>>> 8

It's widely agreed that the first (Murder House) and second (Asylum) seasons are the best. I personally prefer the second, but it's where the series' habit of having ten different unconnected plotlines starts, so I can't argue against people who prefer the first.

A lot of people like season three (Coven), but I think it's a big pile of wasted potential and dogshit. Conversely, a lot of people don't like season four (Freak Show), but I thought it was alright.

I think season five (Hotel) is almost universally considered the meh-est season. Not great, not awful, solidly in the middle.

Season six (Roanoke) is kind of divisive because it changes up the format, but I really enjoyed it.

Season seven (Cult) is alright.

Season eight (Apocalypse) is great for about five episodes and then shoots itself in the foot so hard that it becomes the worst season.

Season nine (1984) is another meh. A little lower than Hotel. Probably the most unfocused season which is saying a lot in this show.

This is the general concensus.

Though I prefer 1 over 2.

3, it's good enough. It kind of falls apart at times, but it is watchable and is probably more good than bad.

4 is just meh to bad.

Didn't see 5-7 because 4 ruined

I saw 8, but didnt see 9.

I admit, 8, starts off strong, and it really seems like it will be great, but it certainly falls off the rails, though it has some good stuff.. I did like the ending if only because I interpreted it differently than most people I've seen. He is supposed to be the son of Satan essentially, and he is ultimately defeated by the season 3 witches, however, this is the biblical Satan we are talking about and they make that part very very clear. This person is never defeated via some kind of exorcism or "in the name of Christ". Meaning it is my theory that the entire events of S8 was a ruse. The witches now think they defeated Satan, however because they never invoke the name of Christ, a necessary part to defeat the biblical Satan, the master of deception and father of lies, did just that, he deceived them, and so at the very end, his henchmen come to his true real heir.

Who will now be raised from childhood onwards, and grow up right under their noses. Versus the son of Satan who took up most of season 8, largely had no clue what he was doing. Abandoned by his father. and was beaten without even invoking the name of Christ. This was no heir to Satan because as said, if we are going to use the biblical Satan then he has to be defeated via the established biblical methods which means invoking the name of Christ, ergo I think S8 was a ruse, and it was all just show how masterfully deceptive evil can be.


again, may just be my own headcanon as I don't recall seeing others think of it like and instead crap on S8, which I get. It had some bad times.

I appreciate you actually replied intelligently to what I said, a rarity on gamefaqs.

Proto_Spark posted...


While I see the point your making, I think its also worth bringing up that the reason that across human history we would eat so much meat is because meat is a very dense food loaded with fats, proteins, and calories, which was very helpful back when future meals was nowhere close to as readily available or reliably present as it is today, so that need for all of that meat isn't really present today. that's not to say your point is invalid, but in todays world where basically any food you could want is readily available, this argument doesn't really hold much weight.



I get what you mean, but yes and no.

Part of the need for meat is brain development. Those fatty cuts of meat high in cholesterol help develop our brains which is basically a giant sack of fat and cholesterol. It's also arguably we ate those things, because back then we weren't considered with some "fad diet" but rather, just what was around and most desirable and that happened to be meat if we could get our hands on it. We must remember, we are a predator and predators do hunt. There is no such thing as a vegan predator. I think one thing is the modern human of today has lost touch with his animal ancestor past. Our ancestors of 200 years ago seemed to have a better sense of what food was/is. Today we are so far removed from the hunting part of food, that I think it affects our judgment as to what is proper food and what is not proper food. I think this has lead to the vegan movement for example.

Proto_Spark posted...
The only nutrient we know isn't available from a purely vegan/vegetarian diets is B12,


Not true. the problem is bio availability of what you are eating. There are many nutrients that are very bio available in plants. A great example of this is carrots. If you want the A in carrots, you need to couple that with something is fatty or you will not get it. And this speaks to another problem with the vegan diet, you've got to have a PHD in food pairing or you'll be eating a lot of empty calories. Even then when compared to a steak, you will digest the steak 1000x easier. We must remember digestion takes a lot of energy, the less energy we spend on eating large amounts of hard to digest food, the better.

We also don't know the full extent of all every nutrient the human body needs, meaning vegans cannot possibly get it right.

Proto_Spark posted...
Personally, I would say that this again falls under "a good vegan diet is tougher than a good non-vegan diet" but not impossible,


Call it what you want, but if it has an 84% failure rate in the first year, that is a statistical outlier if it does succeed.

Proto_Spark posted...
This harkens back to the main argument earlier in the topic, but the main reason that humans aren't considered carnivores is that there is a better term to describe us aside from herbivore/carnivore. Because we eat a solid mix of both meat and plants we would fall under omnivores instead.

This is fair, but that's why I say, nothing is truly 100% one or the other, but yes that's not how it's defined usually. So that is fair.

Proto_Spark posted...
One of the biggest factors here is the fact that we have to cook our meat, because we don't have the same gut bacteria that carnivores do that can handle uncooked meat.


We can handle raw meat, so this statement isn't true. In fact there are many meals specifically centered around raw meat. We must realize, that the human body is capable if it has to, to survive in a world without the microwave and that world would mean at times, raw meat. Sushi and steak tartare exist among other things. Heck people eat raw steaks. I know I like my steak nice and red.

Proto_Spark posted...
If we compare humans to a more closely related animal, like primates that we share the most dental, physical, and physiological characteristics with, none of them are carnivores anywhere close to the level of actual carnivores. The common diet for these animals is omnivorous, predominantly eating fruit and other plants, and who's meat intake is very small, limited to insects and bugs in the area.


However as I said in the other part of this message, our brains are largely fat and cholesterol and you get that mostly from meat. These other primates do not have our cognitive abilities. One of the things I have noticed when I've looked at vegan forums and videos is a marked decrease in cognitive abilities and a high tendency to have low energy or brain fog. Our brains are wonderful things, but they take roughly 1/4 of everything we eat(the next nearest primate I think does 1/10). And that 1/4 needs to contain it's fair share of fat and cholesterol, the two things are brain is made of. Heck as far as our species goes, we start off as carnivores, as breast milk is an animal product and that's all a baby should have for quite a while, which could lead into the nonsense of vegan parents raising vegan kids.

I do get what you are saying and it is a fair comparison to compare us to other primates, as we do share things in common, so I don't think you're entirely wrong, but I just tend to notice that we need more meat than we are told we need. and that the trend to eat more plants isn't compatible with our biology. I admit I don't know why other primates seem to be more herbivore than anything else, and aren't really predators. However humans are predators and our brains need animal products to survive on. The evidence really is the lack of a human vegan civilization.

Yea! If we can't stop ALL crime why try to stop ANY??

God my puny dick is throbbing!

carrying and buying a gun is more of a passive crime. You're just carrying the item. It doesn't actually do anything until you use it. Sure you can say lets make that illegal, but the only reason people want to ban guns is because of the shooting and killing people part, and that is the part that not one single criminal gives two shits about.

So you effectively ban the buying and carrying of gun, the passive part, but then that does jack shit to stop the shooting part and the only people that actually obey the no carrying and buying part are the legal citizens who aren't going to gangs and black markets to buy their weapons in the first place.

meaning, it does jack shit. This is one of those crimes where banning guns feels good, but it actually does nothing to stop the crime.

But liberals refuse to admit this.

yeah that's probably true. Though I do think they probably still have a meat preference, but yeah your average dog now is so tame, it's a scavenger. Though wild dogs are still shown to be carnivores.

Thanks, but it is gamefaqs, no arguments here do anyone any good. It's an addiction at this point

Proto_Spark posted...
Vegan diets are on average fairly healthy in comparison to regular diets, but one could argue that this relative increase is rather a result of the average (western) diet being very poor. and of course, eating a vegan diet doesn't mean you'll eat a healthy vegan diet. Most food guides do however suggest that we eat too much meat, and it shouldn't be the focal point of most meals like it is now, but this is still up for debate, and a lot of research into modern diets is at least somewhat untrustworthy due to corporate influence.


Breaking this down, the standard american diet aka SAD, is just that, SAD. Many vegans feel healthier initially by not being on the SAD diet and suddenly becoming health conscious, often including exercise. This then leads to the fatal flaw, that the vegan diet is by default healthy.

Many of the studies that say red meat is bad for example, are self reported surveys and don't take into account genetics, or lifestyle choices like smoking and exercise.

These studies also ignore human historical fact, which is, when given the choice, by and large our human ancestors would eat meat if it was available. More historical facts that these studies love to ignore is that many modern fruits and vegetables are genetically modified to be more suited to our tastes, fruits generally being made sweeter. Whereas if these same plants were found in the wild, they would undigestable to us. An example of this ignorance of human history is vegans will cite I think it is in the Hindus, can't remember which group off the top of my head, as vegans, however when that same group came to the UK in the 1900s, and tried their same vegan diet, they got sick and had to quit. Turns out these "vegans" in their home land ate the bugs found on the vegetation and due to modern sanitation standards, fruits and vegetables are not sold with bugs.

Vegans also ignore that 84% of them quit within the first year due to health issues.

A successful vegan diet is a statistical outlier. We just don't know every nutrient we need, and a vegan diet already has to supplement(and don't get me started on the questionable supplements industry). Which creates a very very difficult diet to actually do correctly. It's made worse by the fact many do it for moral reasons(they've seen cowspiracy or what the health or some other documentary). Due to a lack of nutrients I think this genuinely impairs their cognitive abilities and they then just keep going.

Even famous vegans like Ghandi found he had to have milk. And this gets into the vegan versus vegetarian debate. Vegetarians, while I would argue that isn't the healthiest diet either, they at least eat meat and as such tend to avoid some of the more severe health problems vegans run into and could probably in theory be healthy, or at least healthy enough.

It can be hard to track this though, because vegans don't run into health problems at the same rate, and many self report feeling fine, but in the many many vegan youtube videos you can track a clear visible decline in appearance and health despite their screams of "I feel great". Though the first warning sign should be the massive bloating, gas, and shits that are pretty universal. Humans just were not designed to be or evolved to be whichever you prefer, to be vegans. It just isn't in our biological make up. We cannot extract all the nutrients we need from plants.

All this to say, the studies that say, we need less meat, are dangerously flawed and ignore proper context, and historical human fact and history and biology.True we some similarities to herbivores, but our digestive tract is much closer to a carnivore and that's really the most important part. You need certain acids and bacteria to break down plants that have natural defense mechanisms to prevent them from being eaten as they are stationary lifeforms. Animals don't have such defense mechanisms as we have legs and can move. Most herbivore animals have much stronger stomach acid than we do, and the case of cows for example, they have 4 stomachs. Heck a baby Koala has to eat mom's poop for a while before it's stomach is strong enough to eat it's natural diet of leaves.

So all that means is we are carnivores, defined as a species with a preference towards meat. We prefer meat, and need it. However we can eat non-meat better than animals like lions or other cats, and we can even live for long periods on a vegan diet(though quality of life will suffer), and even live okay enough as a vegetarian, but for ideal optimal health, meat should be a primary focus. Though, when I say meat, the big fatty cuts are best.

In response to @kayoticdreamz , I would argue that getting kicked out of the level after dying a certain number of times doesnt make the game any harder at all, just more frustrating and tedious. Especially whereas in Odyssey you have 3 hits, and in 64 you had 8. It just wouldnt make the game any better imo

It does depend, there is a balance to it. If it was go all the way back to the beginning of the game and the game was ninja gaiden levels of hard on the NES? Then sure, okay that is TOO hard and just frustrating and tedious.

But the mario 64 levels were IMO never frustrating or tedious. Mario Odyssey, seems to take any pretense of a challenge by granting infinite lives. Imagine Mario 64 with infinite lives. It would not be the same game, it would be light years easier and it would arguably not be better for it. Platforming games need some challenge and some threat of death to them. I also can't recall any moment in Odyssey where in order to progress I had to seriously think about where a star was and how to get it, Mario 64, could at least make you stop and think. I doubt anyone never got the magic number 70, but to get to 70 wasn't exactly easy either.

Take the mega man games, they are currently re-released on the xbox one/ps4/etc. You can basically use infinite lives. The games are still fun, but a lot of the joy and challenge gets taken away if you use the infinite lives to the point where in some ways it isn't the same game anymore.

This kind of stuff has it's place, but I do think it should have been more challenging at times.

Because old school games were developed with arcades in mind where the goal was to limit your restarts so you had to put more money into the machine?

while true, it doesn't make infinite lives the better solution here.

The game's not a cakewalk. There are serious challenges throughout.

Does one of those need to be "avoid losing this specific number of times or you'll be punished worse"?

You have infinite lives man. That used to be called a cheatcode for obvious reasons
