Reality vs Adventure

Someone suggest the ps4 cause I don't have a gaming computer. I've been eyeballing that game for a long time. Not sure I'm ready for it yet, because I still have to beat Witcher 3. Hmm, ps5 maybe?

I'm not a huge fan of the game, but Metal Gear Solid Phantom Pain had an excellent opening in the hospital and all the chaos. That was epic.

Definitely The Walking Dead. Just recently I had to stop and think about a situation in Witcher 3: Kill 5 guys to save one life, but that one life will allow a monster to kill a villager as a sacrifice whenever it needs it. OR Let the guys kill the one, and the monster won't have its sacrifice and will hunt whenever it wants. Doesn't look like there's a win to me. I chose to save the one guy and killed the 5 because he was unarmed against 5. And the monster will have its appetite fulfilled instead of going on a rampage.

Oh man!!! I loved that game. Nobody ever mentions it. I played it a lot a lifetime ago. The Earth flipped 30 times since I probably played it last. How in the world did you think of that one? The days of cracker jacks and bubble tape gum.

Well, if someone disses how your girlfriend looks, you get mad right? If someone disses a game you like and others follow, then reviews for the game go pretty low. And for some reason there are excellent games out there with unfavorable reviews. So that bad publicity can change the direction in making a sequel to that game. That's why some can get irritated. For example, Assassins Creed I love in this generation, but many say it has run its course because they like the older ones. That makes me worry that they might cut back on future plans. Public opinion matters. And public opinion is never a love story.

I completely disagree to not enlist. Who do you think benefits? There is a certain group of people I'm sure you are aware of that would love to bleach the military.

That’s interesting how you would consider them as pets in your pocket. What exactly is a pet? How would you own a pet? Someone could have a dog they use to earn money in dog fights and be a pleasure to watch. That would be objectionable as in the case of having smaller people please you and clean you. Having a pet makes you responsible for their well being mentally and physically. The little people supposedly have equal intelligence, so to confine them and work them as a pet is an insult to their born intelligence and potential. What about their Maslow’s theory of depriving them of esteem. Or even their love and belonging or safety needs? Also, the size difference shouldn’t matter because they have equal intelligence. That is the true meaning of racist. Why would you deprive them of their needs based on Maslow’s Hierarchy. Rational beings always see options. At that size, maybe you can beach a slimy whale and stick your pecker in it since getting pleasure from different species is no problem. (Burn joke after reading). The Maslow’s Hierarchy states you don’t have to reach 100% of every lower level before moving on to the next. You would definitely have a need for belonging. Love and belonging isn’t the same as pocketing women. A sense of belonging if you were a lone giant would be having the civilization respect you and help each other. You develop acceptance and trust which is in the same bar as intimacy. You would be the one depriving yourself of those needs by distancing yourself from them and making yourself God like and objectionalizing them. Wanting to be God like and cowering them is more narcissistic. And interestingly, how I proposed to work together falls right into Maslow’s Hierarchy by developing relationships with the little people, which would then give you esteem by providing the means and ways to accomplish a productive society. Then you can reflect on it all and be God like as you reach your potential in this rare case to help shape a whole civilization and maybe they build you something in respectful honor.

To quell uprisings by taking lives would be killing, not murder. If you instigated the whole thing to provoke chaos and take their lives to quell it, that is murder. That is like stabbing someone in the arm, they fight to defend themselves, and you kill them for it. Godzilla is an interesting thought. But even Godzilla with questionable intelligence wanted a more personal relationship with the woman or did he just want to pocket her as a toy? Reminds me of Beauty and the Beast. Would an ant sized woman develop feelings for a giant beast or vice versa? Would that turn your beastiality into a caring sympathetic homosapien? Is your superiority complex relieved if your abducted developed Stockholm syndrome? Somehow, all of this is related from your need to take women and rule. Is that advanced stages of male chauvinism? This persona of yours for this topic, does that complex mean that maybe you have fear of women in real life? You have needs but go straight to taking instead of swaying. Our evolved species don’t need to fight every man to get a women. We don’t need to strut around pounding our chest, spraying territory, and tucking every female underneath us to show dominance.

You want to use N. Korea as an example of longevity in ruling, but you forget about the governing bodies of every other country that has ruled in a different way for much longer. For example, the USA has had a democracy for 240 years. It has been a WORLD power since the 50’s. They didn’t need authoritarianism to rule its people. And the USA thrived and became productive far greater than N. Korea. They control the media in N Korea so you can’t possibly know how hungry or ready for a revolt they are in. There are 2 Koreas remember? This is a perfect contrast of authoritarianism and a democracy (democratic republic to be exact). And today S. Korea has greater economic standing and quality of life than the North. To use the USA as an example again; recently the country has taken authoritarian views from the top of government. They are secluding themselves and confuse allies not quite to the extent yet as N. Korea, but are on that path. The influence in the world has decreased, there is chaos in the streets all due to the push of authoritarianism. And in the chaos, there lives law and order that authoritarians hide behind to slowly tear down the foundations of human rights and eventually leads to use whatever tactic to demoralize, abuse, and subjugate the people. Your so called mafia racket tactic. Create civil disobedience in order to justify oppressing, imprisoning, and even killing them. Open war is even tastier. Give me what I want and I’ll protect you. I never said I was perfect in any way. I proposed to not even rule at all. But if I got involved, I simply would want everyone to have rights and lead a productive society. That is what I would try for. All conflicts can be prevented. It doesn't take much effort to give in to fighting. It takes greater effort and intelligence to find a solution where all sides are happy including the people below all the power. That is the key to evolving. Intelligence has a higher consciousness, which means you have rationality and sympathy. I'm not talking about monkey see monkey do intelligence. I'm talking about preserving all life. Unfortunately, humans are easily corrupted. That doesn't mean we can't evolve as a whole. But, Individually is where it all starts. And individual leaders unfit to rule prevents humans as a whole from evolving. Interestingly, some of the greatest technology is invented during times of war. So here I go helping your case. But at the same time, that same technology we use to destroy, abuse, and subjugate. So the wheels of evolution and devolution keeps turning I have tried to see your way to rule. We have discussed a lot. But you keep proving to be bent on harming others. And that makes you even more dangerous in your thinking because you simply enjoy it. You have shown to be rational in some circumstances and have a conscious willing to change things. So no, that doesn’t make you devolved in that sense, it just makes your proposals unproven and with the lack of sympathy. You have made a conscious effort to look at different views and I congrats you for that. But you are hell bent on taking by force or whatever way to get females in your pocket. In this instance, you are proving to be a devolved species. Who else does that besides the leader of a pack of wild animals that have lesser intelligence? Many people want wealth, doesn’t mean they should rob a bank. That is something I’m not sure there is a solution for. A moral person would just let it pass. But that insistence that I answer how to get ladies into your pockets is kind of a raw insatiable hunger you have. There is a thin line there between desire and rape. So that is an animalistic behavior in your sympathetic nervous system. Not to confuse with sympathy. You are stuck somewhere between a rational sociopathic, predatory, and consciously immoral. And please don't say we are all predatory, it's in our nature. We aren't out hunting sabertooth anymore. Having sympathy is a barrier against corruption but nobody knows their limits.

I think you have a superiority complex if you think you can gather any women you want for pleasure or harm men for fun. To cross species like that and just use them as a tool is an even more deep seeded complex. I don’t think it really comes down to you having needs alone as a giant. You have the need to objectionalize them. To have any position of power with that mindset is always detrimental to society. Your mafia way of ruling doesn’t keep the public bountiful, just the ones in power. You wouldn’t even need to exist in their society if everything was conflict free. If it was run by a mafia racket, they would try to quell any disputes behind the scenes. So the majority of the people wouldn’t even feel they need your protection. Like I mentioned before, you would only thrive in warring states. Pit groups against each other, offer one side protection for your pleasantries? Or be the crime boss of all the families and destroy any family that doesn’t pay up, even if there are no inter family disputes? Start a war with another civilization and offer a side protection? So far subjugating them doesn’t work in the long run. And mafia style only works in conflicts. There is no decent way to rule when you objectionalize those you want to rule over.

Just wondering if it is safe to rebuild database to clear up space. Is this something to be done regularly? Will it delete anything saved on there? I noticed a couple games that I deleted the application only, also have deleted screenshots. Is there any way to get the screenshots back?

Spooky little Halloween game

AC Odyssey- not playing around Fallout 4- tired of playing around

History Human history has built castles History has shown mountains have eroded or moved from plate tectonics History in the wrong hands blinds man from making the same mistake History in the right hands opens people's eyes to learn from

The old man had his memory extracted to the young man and forgot it happened so he doesn't realize he's going to be incinerated

The person messed up by opening their eyes again to keep reading the steps. That's if they closed their eyes in the first step. So the curse was a trick at the start.

Lebron is a great basketball player and has proved himself. When he started in Cleveland, they were in the playoffs and as soon as he left, the team fell apart. I would have more respect for him if he stuck it out in Cleveland and kept trying for a championship there. Instead he chose an easier way to get a ring by joining with Miami, which was an all star team at the time always making the playoffs. He just had to get his ring. Then he proved himself again when he went back to Cleveland. But now, in joining another big team like the Lakers stocked with other big players, simply makes the sport a monopoly. It's the same teams in the playoffs every year. Lebron is a great player, but he chose stardom over sport. Sport is competition, not a contest where you put all the tall players on one team and all the short on the other. But he is one of the best. He has defense, charges the basket, makes 3's, and hits his free throws, all under pressure.

Because man has to mine for gold! Or tear down the mountains looking for it

It seems now you would rather get involved with their hierarchy of government which would mean that you place yourself into their conflicts. And giving them what they want in return to get things you want I agree would be a longer alternative to rule. But there would have to be a balance maintained. What if either side, you or them, weren’t offering enough or wanted too much? That to me looks like more of a mafia racket by offering protection and in return they offer you pleasantries, whether it be gems, women, booze, or food. You are correct that it isn’t necessarily malevolent, but rackets like that could get violent very easily. That idea would be more rational, but to take women as an offer would not be sympathetic. To assume their lives would be better is just a tactical excuse. From top down in their government, how would they acquire women for your pleasure? Would they volunteer? Would they be kidnapped? What happens when the public does find out? And do you stop at a certain number of women and expect nothing else? Cities usually have a brothel, maybe you can spend your resources to buy some ladies for the night if you become that desperate. How much of what rare foods would you want? Would you take all their silk for a soft bed and wardrobe? Would you pluck all the birds for a bunch of pillows? Would you harvest all their gems to shine on your body? That would mean to force labor camps into dangerous mines or working conditions to get enough. Would they then use child labor for extra help? These are consequences from what you propose. Is it that much different from all out forcing them yourself or get stomped? How much is enough? These are the realities in rackets. Who does the dirty work to get what you want? The ‘little’ little people. And when those refuse to take that abuse, then who is gonna get what you want? Their government comes up short. You act in retaliation. Then the delicate balance becomes chaotic. You would have to offer something for the people and not just their government bodies if you want to maintain rule and peace. The ‘little’ little people are just as integral to stability as their government and foreign influence would be. To satisfy them, you would have to grant them rights. So that would be the most rational, and in effect creates the most sympathetic way to rule, which also in effect creates a longer and more productive rule. To help your case, if there was a time of war between the little people, then your proposal will shine the greatest. You will provide the protection and some would even be willing to sacrifice personal things for you. But I guess that would only work in a warring state. In a time of peace, I don't see how that would last that long. But even if there was war, and you abuse your leverage, they could defect. Always different scenarios playing and nothing set in stone. With force, there is always a cold response. When they all have rights, they respect you, their government, and would never defect. But once they lose that respect. All options are on the table.

Gold

So it would **NOT** automatically update 8.00. Don't know how I made that typo

I can't use network features on the ps4 because it keeps telling me to update the 8.00, which I keep canceling and deleting. I had to turn off network to charge controller so it would automatically update the 8.00. Anyone else having this problem not being able to sign back in w/o having to update it?

Yeah, that's what was getting me confused as the different universe uses different terms.

I've wondered that too. But if it was going to take place in modern times, then that means there would be modern weapons involved. So that would eventually lead to a shooter game, which will take AC in a direction that would miserably fail. Not saying it can't be done, but it would turn into a MGS or Clancy game. I don't know how it would work get shot at with machine guns while you wield an axe or pirate pistol. Once you get that semi automatic, AC and role play goes out the window. One of the legacies of the game is taking place in a mysterious world, in a mysterious time.
