[Where do you stand politically?]

I'm a hardcore liberal Democrat. That will never change. I support transgender rights, and view anyone who doesn't as a fucking bigot. I'm also a gun owner. I have several handguns, and several rifles including an AR-15. I carry a .357 Magnum with me everywhere I go. I keep a handgun in every room of my house. If someone breaks into my house, I will kill them. It is my 100% intention to end their life, and I will not stop firing until I know they are dead. And I've gone on record with the local law with that statement. Also it is my legal right to use deadly force to protect my home, within my home. There is nothing in this house worth dying for.

That all said, out internal structure needs a hell of a lot of reworking. So much of it is broken. Parts of the constitution need to be rewritten, many on the bill of rights. When it was written they put freedom of religion in the first amendment, but they didn't bother to clarify what they meant by that. Freedom of religion..... as long as your xtian. You can be catholic, baptist, methodist, lutheran, pentecostal, presbyterian, or any other form or protestant. Non-xtian religions are sometimes tolerated, but not protected by the constitution. If you think they are then tell me how many Jewish and Muslim presidents we have had. Tell me how good Muslims had it starting on September 12th. Tell me why so many Synagogues are constantly cleaning swastikas off their doors. And tell me why people have decided that as a Satanist, I supposedly sacrifice babies to their devil then eat their flesh?

I will never under any circumstance support anything the republiKKKlans try to do, because it has never once benefited the public. Only the corporations that are backing the traitorous bastards. Look at the last two republiKKKlan presidents. Bush threw us into the worst recession since the great depression. And I don't even have to say anything about Adolf. They use their bigotry and stupidity to lead their actions, and no republiKKKlan is an exception. Load them all on a boat. Throw them overboard in the middle of the Pacific. Any that make it to shore get to live until the next morning when their next challenge begins. Maybe throw them in a pit with a bunch of hungry carnivores and a piece of speaker wire dangling in there for them to use as a rope to climb out. Survivors get to rest until the next morning. Spread it around the most dangerous prison in the world that they rape babies, and put them in genpop for at minimum 6 months. If they survive, they get a one day rest until their next challenge. I can keep going on, but I think you get the point.

I'm not special. My animosity leads my views a lot too. But you know what? I'm not a politician, so it really isn't going to affect anyone unless they're someone I hate. I know there are several people here who can't stand me. I can't think of any names off the top of my head, but I know they're here. And I'm sure there will be even more after reading this post. But they can all kiss my lily white ass.

I'm REALLY not interested in discussing politics, but I am genuinely curious... are you really a satanist?  It's so incredibly rare to find them (in my experience), I'm always pretty interested in hearing about their religious/spiritual beliefs.

 

Edit:  Nevermind, I see that you already addressed this to somebody else.  Sorry!  -_-;;

I don't think any can touch the 1989 Batman.

I find the plot in "Batman Returns" to be kind of incoherent at times, but Michael Keaton is one of my favorite Actors, and Danny DeVito is just fucking amazing as Penguin in this.  So if anything comes close to the original, I would say this one might.

I will go with Drag me to Hell, it was nice and had a decent story.

If you liked "Drag me to Hell" you might want to watch "Thinner" (based on a Stephen King novel).  There are a number of elements from Thinner that are present in Drag me to Hell, to the point that one could easily accuse Drag me to Hell of ripping off Thinner.  And I thought Thinner was a pretty interesting movie.

[Do you like documentaries? Why / why not?]

Personally I think documentaries are boring as hell.  This makes sense if you understand my personality and interests; documentaries are less about entertaining, and more about informing.  When I watch a movie, I want to be entertained, usually with a good story and interesting characters.  I have an affinity for the arts in general.  I always prefer fiction over nonfiction.  That's not to say that I won't enjoy something that's based on a true story, but... I think you get the idea.

I've never watched this movie before if I'm being honest but your review of it makes me want to watch it. I'll make sure to write it down somewhere so that I definitely check it out.

Its a very good movie, in my opinion.  Especially if you like Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio, or Juliette Lewis.  Leonardo DiCaprio is awesome in basically everything he's ever in.

Well, I do also spend a lot of time watching anime - even now. That being said, I inherited my parent's magnetism and charisma because people always want to hang around me for some reason. It gets to the point where I have to ghost some people or purposely start ignoring them.

It seems that being both popular and unpopular each has their own advantages.

The difference between me and your sister, is that she cares for her family. I would make popcorn to watch my "family" die the most excruciating death with all of us knowing that I was the only one that could save them, yet not doing a damn thing but watching.

lol Yeah, that's a pretty striking difference.  Sounds like you -really- don't like your family.  We're all really close; even my misanthropic sister who hates everybody is close with my brother, me and our parents.

Yep - I used to get into with my big brother all the while when I was growing up. Nowadays, we're cool as hell and ask each other about stuff.

Same.  Well, even back then I would say we were close.  Hell, we still have problems sometimes to this day.  We've always been really close, though.  My whole family, really.  Maybe its because we're like 95% Italian.

I’ve always been a loner, so isolation is perfect for me. I’m also the most misanthropic bitch you’ll ever encounter. I keep all interactions with people online unless I have absolutely no choice. I’ve never had a single friend in my life. And you know what? I prefer it that way. It means that I don’t have to put up with anyone’s stupid bullshit.

Solitude and isolation are the best way to go about things.

You sound a lot like my sister; she's usually friendly when approached, but she's the most misanthropic person I know.  I hate to copy your exact words, but that's literally how I describe her to people.  She has no friends and doesn't want any.  I almost never see her because she spends 95% of her free time sitting in her room watching anime.  I'm pretty sure the only people in the entire world she actually likes are me, my brother, and our parents.  I'm not trying to paint her in a negative light, mind you.  I mean, I love my sister.  But that's how she is, lol.  Quite the opposite of me in that way; I like people and being around them.  People just don't seem to like me very much.  I mean, not enough to want to become friends and hang out and stuff.

I'm in the same boat as you and also don't use social media. If you like being at home, the only real place to meet anyone is on the internet or at work. I actually like being alone because I am my best company. I've accepted the fact that not many people like the things I like. Actually, I should say they like the things I like, but don't do the things I like. Nature is gonna weed you out if you live the single life much longer. But it's ok. I've been weeded out. I'll never get married or have children. But I personally don't mind at all. If you do mind, you better get out there. Everything will cost money to go out and meet people. And you will go out of your comfort zone. You could enroll in a fun class in a community college. That may be the best way. You can learn something and meet people. You could get a part time job somewhere fun or volunteer somewhere. My sister goes to a chess club and she is the least likely person you would think to do that, believe me. But with the pandemic, you are very limited. The only other option is to go to your local grocery store and start humpin every leg you see. 

You do point out a lot of good ideas.  I actually may try some of those.  I do like doing things alone, just not all the time.  I like having friends to share my experiences with.  Doesn't have to be a girlfriend (in fact, it might be better if it isn't.)  I love the things that I love so much, but sometimes I miss having friends to play video games and watch movies with, and discuss things like video games, movies, and music.

I know you are right, but I live deep in the country; 15 min drive to any civilization and everybody is klan members. I'm starting to think moving may be in my best interest. 

Sometimes I have wondered if the KKK even still exists.  But you not only know that you have them and where to find them, but actually have a large number of them out in the open?  I would high tail it outta there if possible.  It sounds like crazyland.

I think he meant told but probably mistyped it. 

I remembered punching a hole through my room door when I was growing up - I used to have plenty of anger issues from my parents constantly fighting and also butting head with my big brother. I'm way calmer now though.

I wouldn't say I ever had anger issues, but I did get into conflicts with my brother a bunch of times when I was younger (like most of us I imagine).  I kicked a hole in the wall one time totally by accident.  Well, I mean, the hole was an accident, not the kicking.  Or was it a punch?  I can't really remember.

[How to find like minded people when your primary interests are staying at home and playing video games?]

So, this is a little embarrassing to admit, but I don't really have any friends anymore.  I used to, but over time they've all gone off and gotten married or whatever, which apparently makes people forget about their single friends.  The only actual friend I have is my ex girlfriend, who while I'm on very good terms with, I've come to realize I have barely anything in common. 

 

I've always found it difficult to make friends for whatever reason, whether its because of my social awkwardness (due to high functioning autism) or my obsession with indoor activities like watching movies and playing video games.  But now that I'm in my 30s it seems to be even more difficult.  Just about every friend I ever had I met in school, which I am now permanently done with.  I'm not involved in social media at all, and I don't want to be.  Put the pandemic into the mix, and you've got a recipe for incurable loneliness.  I don't dislike going out, mind you, its just that -most- of the time I prefer to be at home (or somebody's home).  But how are people like me supposed to connect with one another when we're sitting at home the vast majority of the time?

[What are you listening to right now?]

 

[How do you calm yourself down when you are angry?]

Getting truly angry is a rarity for me.  Frustrated or irritated, maybe, but outright angry, rare.  When this does happen, though, I tend to do some kind of silly things (in isolation, where supposedly no one can see or hear me), like just start growling in angry bursts repeatedly or punching my leg or my furniture or something.  One time I went outside and started smashing my fist into the brick wall and cut up my hand a bit (admittedly this wasn't very smart lol.  But that was ages ago).

And it actually works out perfectly and everyone lives happily ever after, I'd rather that. Also, I wish there was a pause button for life just so that I could get time to think about certain things in a situation. Hell, I'd even welcome bullet time.

Even better would be having a reset button and save points so that we could go back and redo things differently.  Or even redo things the same way just to experience it again and again.

[In what ways do you wish life were more like video games?]

I sometimes like to joke about this in real life:  If only life were like a video game, where a ragtag group of heroes could go on an adventure, infiltrate North Korea, overthrow the leadership there and liberate the people, bringing about peace and prosperity.

Gaming phones, The S21 Ultra, Z-Fold, Xperia 1 Mark 2 and a rather extensive list of phones cost in the $1200 or more bracket. Where have you been? lol.

 

I mostly play console games.  I've never even heard of a gaming phone.  But I don't like playing games on the go, and I much prefer playing on a big screen than small portable ones, so It doesn't sound like something that would interest me anyways.

[Would you rather live without the internet or live without AC and heating?]

For some reason I was totally reading this question wrong, and it took me forever to realize it lol.  I was thinking like, "if you could see either the internet, or AC and Heating, wiped from the face of the earth, which would you prefer."  I don't have a strong personal attachment to the internet, whereas I definitely do with AC and Heating.  I'd like to think a person could get by without the internet, but I'm honestly not sure.  I mean like, I'm unemployed right now.  How could I go about applying for jobs if I didn't have the internet?  The shit's all online now.  I'm pretty sure my local library wouldn't let me spend hours every day browsing the internet on one of their PCs.

[Would you rather live without the internet or live without AC and heating?]

As long as I've still got video games, movies, and music, I don't need the internet.  I'll take the AC and Heating, thanks.

Nope, lasest smartphones means going all out and spending $1200 if not more right? or buying one each year. Nope. I buy my own smartphone outright and then get a good sim deal. On that note you can pickup a good smartphone for far less price, Redmi Note Pro 10 is what I ahve and I like it for £250 with bells and tech that £900 phones doesn't have. 

Jesus you can spend $1200 for a freaking phone??  That's nuts.  You can buy a full blown computer for way less than that.  I mean I know a smartphone basically is a tiny computer but still...

Because the people in question were manipulated and fooled. Sadly, it happens all the time. When people invest money in these kinds of things, the last thing they want to believe is that they've been conned, so they will then stand with, and even defend, any perspective that would mean they weren't conned no matter how detached from reality it is. I've seen it before with projects like Star Citizen, you wouldn't believe how far the victims of scam will go to defend it and how deluded they appear.

Wow... That's messed up.  And sad.

I heard about this from BigfryTV a few days ago. In a way I kinda hate that this is becoming such a hot topic as that is likely going add the the people actually supporting this project even though it's mostly bad publicity.

 

All the bad things that can happen with a Kickstarter have happened here. Broken promises, a crappy alpha that barely works, lack of original coding, asset flipping, stupidity unattainable goals, lying devs and way more backers and support than it ever deserved.

 

The thing that really gets me know is them hiring kids as moderators for thier discord. They were basically coerced to do the dirty work of banning people just for asking questions then to ultimately be blamed by the devs for doing so. Basically, hired because they obviously wouldn't know what they're doing, would follow instructions without question to then believe it was thier fault when they were thrown under the bus. It's rotten to the core.

 

I'd highly recommend Bigfry's YouTube channel to stay informed about shady indie developers like this. Don't fall into the trap.

One thing I don't understand... Why would news about a kickstarter project being a big scam with unethical practices make people WANT to support it??

[Any Ghosts 'n Goblins fans? There's a new one on the PS4: Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection]

I've played every single one of these games (that matter):  Ghosts 'n Goblins, Ghouls 'n Ghosts, Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts, and Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins.  I've always loved these games, so I was kind of surprised (pleasantly) to see a new one on the PS4:  Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrections.  From what I saw on the PlayStation Store trailer, the music and aesthetic kind of remind me of Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins.  I'm gonna have to get it!

[When you lose a fight, is it your instinct to blame yourself or the game?]

It could go either way, but I think I'm generally inclined to think that since there is always a way to get through something, its my job to figure out what that way is (or figure out A way, if there's more than one).  To be honest though, there are many times when I spend time wondering if a game is doing something wrong or unfairly or not, or cheating me somehow.  Personally I think its not always clear.
