The American education system has lost the plot. Why is this recording so important about books on the Holocaust? First of all, these are things schools are advocating that just happened to be caught on a recording; and is due to the new bill in Texas and other states across the country; but Texas has become the worst. Has our education now lost the plot? Has attacking critical race theory left schools teaching ideas that are pro slavery, pro genocide, pro bigotry since they think historical facts are an offense to others beliefs? This video sums it up a bit.

I hope you don't lose brain cells reading this. I'll try to be clear so your head won't explode. Oh screw it. WARNING-You will get dumber if you keep reading... With the Florida governor defying vaccine mandates/mask mandates and suing schools that are following Biden's mandate, well now instead of actually protecting students a school is now making kids quarantine at home for 30 days if they get vaccinated. Let me repeat...kids that get vaccinated have to quarantine for 30 days at home. And they are telling the parents to hold off on getting their kids vaccinated till the summer so that they can make sure the kids are symptom free when out of school for the summer. Ummm. The summer??? 8 months away? Fuck off Florida. Just sink into the ocean. I guess they think getting the vaccine will give them contagious Covid. Thank you for dumbing us all down. So they don't listen to sciences, but are making something like this up. Texas and Florida at one point were trying to hide information from parents if a kid in their school was exposed to Covid. Oh, but vaccinations are treated with more care than kids who possibly can get exposed without being vaccinated. Have I said Fuck You Florida yet? And DeSantis can go fuck himself in hell too. I'm done with these quacks. We need to spank the fuck out of these adults now. The tolerant left is over. This level of stupid can't be tolerated. And a 'far reich wing' politician Bob Good, gave a speech to grade school students and told them to defy mask mandates because if everyone defied it then they won't be able to enforce it. You are a politician telling students to put people's lives at risk? You selfish pricks. He might have killed some students if they were dumb enough to listen to him. God damn idiot. For future reference, if there is ever a pandemic, make sure no republican in the world has any power. Bye world; America is gone bye bye. There's gonna be some brutal violence coming. USA entered the dark ages. Not many will make it out. Bye bye.

We like to believe it is about the character to keep our sanity, while at the same time we take it personal if we get shot. How many of us sit there and think, "don't hurt the character! Stop it!" No; in every fight we make it about ourselves. Maybe we can separate that personalization while in a cut scene and remember our place that it's about the characters. But then all of a sudden a fight breaks out, and you are given control of the character again to fight, and it immediately becomes about ourselves again. That's the way of gaming. Physically controlling the character adds personalization, while the story adds characterization. We are stuck in two worlds simultaneously believing it is about us and them.

For example: you have a save file from a game and the save file is tied to a game with update 2.0. Your save file is 2.0. You uninstall the game... You reinstall...there is an update 3.0 you MUST update before it downloads any save file. It won't give you a choice; believe me. The game now won't read your 2.0 save file Maybe turn off network before reinstalling in case there is some update. Now the problem occurs if your save file is 2.0 and the original disc install is version 1.0. It will say to update the game to read the save file It will work just fine if there was no other update but the 2.0 Let's say update 3.0 is out on the game after you uninstalled it Your save file is 2.0 and the disc is 1.0 You are forced to update to read your 2.0 save file, but it updates the latest version of 3.0 Your save file 2.0 won't work on the 3.0
-
Careful though. A problem I keep finding for save files, is that they are rendered useless if a game has a new update. Your save file won't be updated and won't work unless the game stays on the system or if the game has had no new updates once it was uninstalled. Not sure if the save file stays updated if saved in PS+. It actually may be a better choice. Do not depend on an external storage or let it just sit in the system. Game updates are a b***h and a half.

There are some games that are pretty good like AC Odyssey and God of War 3, but I can't think of one that I consider very satisfying. I think games that might have that satisfaction is if I was greatly challenged. But games like that tend to be too hard to enjoy such as Bloodborne and Sekiro. Surprisingly, I really liked the combat in Hellblade. I wish the game had a lot more of combat and less puzzles.

That all depends on what motivation I want. Sometimes I want to fight, sometimes explore, sometimes mayhem. Now that I think on it, I'm mostly exploration motivated. But I like to have a point of interest to work my way towards. And usually I find things along the way that was unexpected. I find when I try to make things happen, they just don't go as planned and I get frustrated. I like it when fate of the game gods take over without me trying to force things to happen.

A lot of story driven games are like that, but what else can they do as far as gameplay when it is 99% story based? If they spent more attention on gameplay, then it will become a regular FPS game, then evolve into a sandbox. A game without it being story based I would hold more accountability for gameplay, but it's still possible to enjoy the game if it sucks. It'll just be rushed a bit. And that doesn't give any green light for poor gameplay. I expect nothing less than 100% effort in smooth gameplay.

What games would you give a perfect score as a reviewer?

Update: Texas superintendent apologizes to district for the comment made about how books on the Holocaust needs books of opposing views and different perspectives. "We recognize there are not two sides of the Holocaust" Of course there aren't two sides to the Holocaust and the person who insinuated that should be fired. As of now, there is no consequence. That is no surprise either. Blacks are getting fired for people's accusations while actual recordings of bigotry goes unpunished. And none of this would have been brought into the open without someone secretly recording it. https://www.axios.com/texas-opposing-holocaust-superintendent-49e42b0b-e67c-42d0-91be-5c87dba83523.html

There are a lot of accusations going around about critical race theory being pushed by teachers and principles and other administrative staff, who just happen to be black and are losing their jobs without any evidence of it. So recording staff in school can benefit both sides as proof of CRT as well in case of malcontent, racism, or pushing white supremacy. There are two separate occasions of secret recordings, both happen to be in Texas after the new anti CRT bills have been passed, where school staff has said some extremely controversial things. A teacher was recorded using the 'N' word and trying to teach students racist rhetoric. The teacher was asking them why can't a white person say the 'N' word if they call each other it all the time. And why isn't there a white history month. So, who is pushing CRT exactly??? Another secret recording was from a school administrator in a meeting said that if teachers teach about the Holocaust, then they also need to teach 'opposing views of the Holocaust.' Gina Peddy said, "Make sure that if, if you have a book on the Holocaust, that you have one that has an opposing, that has other perspectives." Other perspectives? Books with opposing views? So if you have a historical book about the holocaust, you also need a book that promotes the holocaust? Is that the other perspective? Is this the new anti CRT where it's now ok to push pro Nazi crap as the 'other perspective'??? I wonder what all school staff is saying that doesn't go recorded, especially in the more white dominant schools. So I implore all to secretly record all staffers in the school system.

It's easy for governments to attack the gaming community because it's generally young adults and children. They wouldn't dare limit hours if the general population engaged in gaming. I think the motivation is to free up the satellites along with making a facial recognition database and profile of people. People get addicted to tv and just surfing the internet and their social media. With their population size, we will see what future laws they pass limiting internet usage. Right now the easy thing to do is target young people and gaming. I imagine the facial recognition will eventually be used for anyone with a computer and tv. They will keep tightening the ropes little by little as it gets more and more accepted.

Separate key for the door? Man, times have changed. I can picture you now at the store jimmying the door. Chirp chirp goes the popo lol. I think the lock and the ac is gonna run over $500. Are you going to a dealership or different shop, cause that will have an impact on price too. You gotta put your foot down and only drive it yourself. That will save any heartache.

Do you think gambling is the key to easy money?
Reality vs Adventure replied to killamch89's topic in General Chat
Just as much an easy gain as it is a loss. But if you can gamble your wife away, then by all means do it. -
Even if you wanted something positive, it could be a negative for others. My mother unraised her children by working the night shift and college trying to reach success at the sacrifice of her children. I grew up with no parents. My dad was overseas in the military. We all lived in Okinawa at one point. But those two never should have had children. So I stand firm by trying to do something positive can have stronger regrets than not doing it.

Has anybody ever challenged your beliefs?
Reality vs Adventure replied to killamch89's topic in General Chat
College/university/same thing. I wonder what shaped all our beliefs. Do any of us have any freedom of mind??? Are all our beliefs pressured by someone or something? Have we grown into any personal beliefs that our brains composed itself? I ask you brain, do I have beliefs? Free beliefs? *%%$@@# Uh, why yes ^^%$#))*YR Ok brain, how did I get them? &&^#*^ experience ^&($#i and failures &*(&%%$#$ So that means I didn't learn for myself. Learning from failure isn't something on my own. It involves the environment. Is there anything I developed alone? Can you answer my brain? %^%&% you are off topic ^&*^*%&$ I hear static ^*&%&$^$*( Well fuck you too you incompetent brain. People are usually afraid to challenge others' beliefs. I haven't really been challenged, mostly discriminated. People never want to listen. Then years later they realize things I've said. By then I'm talking about other things. I used to be into nutrition before alcoholism. People never wanted to listen about my rants. Monsanto and all kinds of other stuff. People don't give a shit. So time passes and nothing changes. Then when they finally see the light, I've already accepted defeat and the evil ways of humanity. What hurts is that when someone tries to share information on something I told them in the past. And I know they just never cared or even listened. And when they tell me their renewed info from a doctor or some professional, I laugh inside, but burst in shock on the outside. What can a man do? Nazis run rampant and want to genocide all non whites, and they are in my government. In the future, I'll be taking my own life before they get me; and I'll say I told you so in a blood splattered message. I actually would like someone to challenge my beliefs. I do have a few I would like to share. But I'm tired of always being the only one while others are a bunch of bitches. So you all first. -
Artists need a lot of balance. I used to be one and it gets crazy. At one point I couldn't walk anywhere because drawings and supplies were all over the floor. I prefer simplicity. Art requires a filling of the well. 'Fill the well' phrase from The Artist's Way. I live in the middle of nature and I'm surprised I haven't picked up art again. I fantasize about it, being that guy with an easel drinking wine. But...Damn I need to try it one last time. But I'm scared of the insanity that ensues. It becomes an obsession. I don't want anymore attachments. I probably don't even have the mind for the level of detail anymore. I have to try one last time...I can't; you can't. you can't. I have to man...why you stopping me? I'm not stopping you, I'm trying to help...Like last time? That was a different time...What makes this any different? Because you have grown. Just try one little drawing...But I shake now. You always did...I don't have supplies. You never did... Yes I did. No, you carved life with your own hands...That doesn't make sense. Art never did...I can't. You already are...But...But what?Shit...

Would you rather have no food or sex for a week?
Reality vs Adventure replied to killamch89's topic in General Chat
Good question to see who is a nymph. 🤣 -
Both. We need both. At least I do. Let the light in because it represents life. Light has an impact on our moods. You can even see it in the behavior of animals. We all need light despite whatever mood. And respecting light depends on where you are. When I wake up and see the light blasting outside I get tired and hostile. If I'm on vacation, I wake up as soon as the rays are out and enjoy it till the rays recede. I love cloudy weather. My energy levels are higher then. So being in a room, it all depends. I prefer big windows and light. But years of hangovers, you bet I prefer the dark. Hmmm...Light of life or dark inner philosophy. Hmmm...I need both. I need balance as does everyone despite what they say.

What do you want from a storyline in a video game?
Reality vs Adventure replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
I never felt as much as you do in the Bioshock series. I thought it was fast paced shooter with a moral dilemma. And I can compare that to Wolfenstein in the killing of Nazis. But the story just wasn't impactful like The Last Of Us was. You are right, the story in TLOU was simple. And maybe you are right; that simplicity can make a show or movie seem lame. Maybe it can't compare to the game where you immerse in physically and control a character wondering a world gone to shit. We can watch it on tv, but will it ever be the same??? Yes. Because any story can be special if everything is done correctly. I think what makes a good story out of simplicity is a phrase called 'the catch'. That catch can be anything. And it depends on everything such as character development. A good story makes us attached to something that we either strive for something or there is something we don't want to lose. Development is more critical than conflict. -
Favorite creative minds in gaming?
Reality vs Adventure replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
Bloober team is the most creative I have ever seen. There is brilliance out there, but one has creative brilliance artistically; and that is Bloober Team. In both their series they have used art to expose psychological problems. Art doesn't get any better than the Layers of Fear series. And when you ask about creative minds, they are the foundation of creativity. They are the pedestal. Anyone that wants to see art at play in its finest represented in video games, then heed my words. I've never experienced anything so great in the art world. That series is the finest that any developer can come up with. I have faith there will be others. Just not much faith there is other artistically brilliant minds in the gaming world. -
They should focus more on proper functioning of what they do provide rather than innovation. Most innovation I don't even use. I don't use dvd, or music, or image, or internet, or whatever friend share cookoo dance party they sell. I just want to play a functioning game. So don't try to hype up some squat I won't use. Does the ps5 have compatibility for previous versions? I don't know because it has not been a definite yes that I ever heard. Other than that, exactly what else is there? I haven't had a good experience with my console in regards to functioning quality. So stop your coffee induced brainstorming you maggots at the round table; and produce good quality machines. That is what you are paid for. Don't side track with amenities. I don't care about you flunking baffoons trying to hold onto to importance. Your workplace you can fuck all you want. Don't dress up the equipment for a party with ribbons. We want something that actually works for longevity.
