Another cute JUBber just went on my ignore list today for being annoying. That's been happening a lot lately. The guys always start off cute and seem nice at first...until they inevitably offend me in some way that turns me off. For some reason, the cuter a guy is, the more it "stings" when he annoys me, and I end up feeling disappointed. It even hurts my feelings sometimes. It's such a letdown.
Long story short, the guy in question got bitchy with somebody (who didn't deserve it) over something stupid and that bothered me. I know it's petty but I can't help it. Something about cute guys being mean just gets under my skin, for reasons I can't fully articulate.
By the way, guys, sorry I've been such a downer lately. I know it's getting redundant. It's just that time of the month again. I'll be alright.![]()
Alright gamer nerd rage time.
Yes that comment makes me angry like no other! Ugh. Today seriously sometimes I think as long as it's got standard graphics (i.e. looks like every other game out there, think FPS) the game could literally play like trying to navigate your way through a Charles Dickens novel using a wet fish (which is still alive) as your controller and gamers would say it's at least better than those shitty old games with bad graphics that only hardcore bitter oldschool people say are good.
Ugh! Die in a fire!
i think my destiny is to be a fighter or a boxer or something that pertains to fighting since i love fighting for some reason. watching this fight right now, i wanna be in the boxing ring swinging off on somebody's head.i can't fight or know how to but i'm willing to learn. should have continued martial arts when i was a kid and i would have been able to whip ass from here to whereever whenever i felt like it. have so much anger that i would love to get out with my fist instead of speaking or writing it or whatever.

I still have 17 games for my N64..some I haven't played in a long time
here lately I've been playing Duke Nukem Zero Hour, and Star Wars Episode 1 Racer
Nintendo 64 was the cool system my sister had. I was stuck with the Intellivision and (way back when) the original Atari Video Pinball console. Yes, the one with the faux-wood console.

^^^ I LOVED Duke Nukem!!!!
I couldn't tell you how many times I made him Pee... Just because I could.
In The PC version you could make your own levels. I spent HOURS making my own levels, or downloading ones other people made, including the TREK conversion.
I feel kind of gross. I just broke up with my boyfriend four or five days ago and I'm already setting up a rebound fuck.![]()

This video pretty much sums up my opinion on a lot of newer games:
They tend to be less intuitive and more tedious. Rather than introducing a new concept or obstacle with subtlety, there are hints and explanations for how to overcome it. There's less thought involved and it detracts from the feeling of accomplishment. In particular, the game design of more recent FPS games tends to be slower, and seems to focus more on realism rather than competitive gameplay. Games like Quake and UT99 are fast paced and intense, and there's a larger skill ceiling because reaction time and flickshots are more important when the game speed is higher.
I think game designers are focusing more on cut scenes and realism because it appeals to the largest market; casual gamers. People like myself who tend to focus on the competitive / skill based aspects of video games are the decided minority, and it's going to be much more profitable for them to focus on appealing to casual gamers. It sucks for sure, but that's just the way it is.
Nostalgia is just one of many reasons I prefer older games to new releases.
^The video game conversation is interesting.
I remember Space Invaders when it came out in 1978 (?). Crude graphics, but the suspense was wrenching.. The game got faster and faster, and built into a crescendo. It always made my heart pound.
That's the thing. I'm nowhere close to being over my ex, and I still feel like I made a huge mistake breaking up with him. I doubt a rebound fuck would help one bit, but I'm still going through with it. I really don't care right now.
Maybe I'm just having a bad night.![]()
I don't see why you should feel gross, as there isn't anything "wrong" or "bad" about it. I mean, how long do you want to stay monogamous to someone you're not in a relationship with anymore? The only "wrong" thing about this is that I'm not the one who gets to do dirty fun things with you![]()
What tends to bother me about video game sites/threads/videos is that things seem to have to be a pissing contest, or people don't like the fact that you don't play on a certain console or that you don't play on PC. I've played video games since I was a kid, in the 90's. The first 2 games I played were Bubble Bobble and Mickey's Mousecapade. I really don't see why it matters that I grew up playing on consoles instead of growing up playing games on the PC. I don't see why it is a big deal on why I don't want to exclusively play games on the PC or the PS3 or Xbox 360. That would be boring and I am limiting my taste.
I watched a Video of a guy on youtube the other day of him playing Far Cry 3 and he played in on a console. That was a big no no to people in the comments section and they couldn't accept the answer that he was playing on there because he wanted to play with his friends. Him and his friends who apparently are "casual gamers" because they don't play on the PC.
And something to add, people always going on about how graphics don't matter and what not. The same people are then the ones in these comments yelling at this dude for playing it on console because it looks better on PC.
There is a new Devil May Cry game coming out that people are really hating on because they don't like how the game is turning out. I've played and enjoyed the series for years, since it's first title. According to these people that don't like it, I am not a "true" fan because I find myself enjoying this one. The same thing goes for Resident Evil, been playing since the first one but apparently since I am open to give the new ones a chance I don't like or appreciate the old games. For some reason it isn't possible for me to like both.
It's my favorite hobby and it probably always will be. When I come to talk about video games, I really don't care what/why/how/where they play their games, it's just that they do play games. For the most part the gaming threads on this board are really level headed and generally are these people that enjoy games and just want to share and talk about them with others. It is pretty refreshing from the rest of the internet.
it was kind of an amazing breakthroughnot sure what was so different, my inability to get off via someone else jerking me off was definitely not for lack of trying.
made a fucking mess tooneither of us were expecting it and I was in a pretty bad position to cum.
Sounds like fun! Sex is supposed to be messy.
I've had ex's like you, that I could never make cum - they were the only ones who knew the secret. It's good to hear one of you guys were fixable. I've never been able to determine if their 'problem' was physical (conditioning to their own jerking off methods), or psychological (unwilling to mentally let go completely).
It's really disappointing when you thought someone was doing something out of the kindness of their heart, when they in fact had selfish motives.

If that's one of those Trek Star Fleet Academy type fly a star ship around and kill things games, No. Well... I've TRIED to play them, but they use EVERY fuckin' button on the key board. I hate to admit that I'm just too dumb to play those games. I cannot for the life of me memorize what every button does.
"Raise shields! Raise Shields! How the F*** do I raise shields???"
I'm good with about 7 buttons. Up, Down, Left, Right, Jump, Shoot, Run. That's IT.
***Confession*** Even with Duke Nukem, Blood, or the Star Trek Elite Force, and Star Trek Armada games I've played, I could never get through them without the cheat codes and "God Mode" being on.
Tomba, you are correct that some of the rivalry between the two camps is pissing contest, yes. But I think it's worth pointing out that 15 years ago, there was no pissing contest. Console games were console games and PC games were PC games, a few (almost universally crappy/unrecognizeable) ports aside. The technology and the markets were just way too different and consoles in particular had very proprietary contracts for the release of various big name games or series-- some still do to this day and are only playstation exclusives or whatever else. The problem is that when xbox came not within the same range but within a really far baseball's throw of the PC's capabilities--- people went "hey, why don't we just make one-game-fits-all for BOTH pc and consoles, that way we make more money!" And they did.
The problem with that is like it's trying to make a movie that's going to be loved by fans of a novel series and fans of a comic book series. The crowds are extremely different in terms of what they look for and have been for years, almost going back to the very beginning of gaming. As a general statement, the console market is more transient, plays many more games per month/year, goes through games faster, and favors ease of gameplay and intuitiveness, not having to invest too much time/thought, and basically just a fun, casual game. PC gamers tend to throw themselves more into a smaller number of games and try to play the hell out of them or get really good at them-- PC gamers playing a game like League of Legends, Dota, Counterstrike, World of Warcraft, Quake or Diablo II for YEARS on end is not at all uncommon. As a result they tend to value replayability, high at-release quality and bugtesting, good support over time with patching for any issues that may crop up and affect gameplay, etc.-- issues that have traditionally been moot for a console gamer by comparison, particularly if they are done with a given title in 2 weeks and move onto the next one.
I definitely grant you that some of the hostility is just immature tribalism. Go over to xboxnation and take a look at how they talk about PC-- you'd think we're all satan worshippers trying to enslave console gamers and create a gamer master race using eugenics. (You'd also think we all live in a basement.) But PC gamers do have some legitimate gripes-- basically, you're hard pressed to find a PC game that isn't, at this point in time, just a port TO the PC from the xbox rather than the other way around--- and the xbox is for all intents and purposes a 10 year old PC more or less. We don't get games anywhere near our potential, we get console UI's (huge blown up text that take up too much of the screen, enormous menus, everything aimed at assuming you're playing on a couch from 30 feet away from the TV) and control systems that assume you're using a controller and not a mouse and keyboard-- radial menus, etc. Additionally as console ports we're getting, by our standards, easier, simpler games with less thought, depth or complexity. You can see this very clearly in series that began as PC series and turned into multi-platform after xbox-- a frequent word you hear about the games that crossplatformed was they felt "dumbed down." Games like Oblivion and Fallout 3 would be examples, though at this point virtually everything made is cross-platform. We also get more rushed games with less replay and almost no support over time because support over time is virtually unexpected in the console market (since in the past you COULDN'T patch any game on a console system anyway) and we're getting ports of console games for the most part.
So long story short, no, I don't think someone is bad/dumb/whatever because of where they play games, but I do think the one size fits all glut of game development has stunted the quality of PC gaming in a very major way that has left PC gamers distinctly unhappy with the direction of game production. There's a lot of myths out there like "PC gaming is dying"-- it isn't true btw.Steam shows friggin enormous PC game sales, saying that PC gaming doesn't sell as well is a half truth-- the full truth would be "It doesn't sell as well as something we can sell on both PC and xbox at the same time." Unfortunately if you're making a game to do that, you're not really making a PC game anymore, because that generally won't fly in the console market.

I think if you're saying you think it's a bad idea, it is probably a bad idea.
I understand the gripe about PC games pretty much being ports but that isn't the fault of the people who play consoles as much as it is the fault that developers think they need to push games out quickly and one of the versions gets shafted and not even worth playing. I'm not the type of person that thinks a franchise needs a yearly release. But unfortunately this is the case.
I think this is an unfair generalization. One example, not everyone can afford $60 dollars for multiple games that come out, so that leaves them with making a decision on one game and that then leads into them really putting time into the game because it's all they have. And that's just one example. I know people who play Dark Souls (originally a console exclusive game) who have put hundreds of hours into it and that is game that really represents everything that is not casual current gen gaming. It's one of the more difficult games to come out recently and it did really well when it came to sales.
As for bug testing/high release quality, Street Fighter X Tekken is an example of a console fighter that pretty much fell off the map because it was clearly a game that was unfinished, had bugs, on disc dlc and numerous other things. In the FGC (Fighting Game Community) you didn't see that game being streamed at any events within a couple months because of those things. And these would be console gamers or "casual" gamers.
Ninja Gaiden 3 would be another game that was completely shat on because it offered no real challenge. There are plenty of examples from the "console community" who show they care about specific games because they put in a lot of time on learning them, re-playability and wanting a good quality game.
The thing that benefits these games are they are online and some of them were online before internet connectivity on your consoles became a big thing. Also, these games tended to have expansion packs as well. There are people who are on consoles who either don't have internet or won't pay for xbox live (and I don't blame them).PC gamers playing a game like League of Legends, Dota, Counterstrike, World of Warcraft, Quake or Diablo II for YEARS on end is not at all uncommon.
I agree it's the fault of devs being greedy and not making specialized to the software they're developing for. If anything PC gamers are to blame for buying these crappy console ports because if they didn't people might actually do dedicated PC development. However there you will find no shortage of console gamers to say things like PC gamers are just bitter old hardcores who want unfun games because they never leave their mom's basement and there's nothing wrong/different/inferior about for-console development vs. pure PC development. Unfortunately we do know different because we remember pure PC development, but you never make any console gamer friends saying so.
Developers aren't making games based on one person's specific conditions. They're making them for broad casual mass appeal. One size fits all. And that 'size' is "transient gamer who averages <2 weeks in a title, 90% of the time doesn't finish it, doesn't play for balance/competition, doesn't want to think too much, just wants to sit down in the living room and pew pew."I think this is an unfair generalization.
That may not be you but that IS who games are being made for. And not just for you but for everyone.
When my partner is off somewhere and calls me/leave voicemails that end in "I love you"...I find it hard to delete those.
I think I've only ever loved 2 guys romantically, and never told either of them.

i hate hearing songs where you have the singer begging for some love or some ass. the most pathetic line, rhetoric or whatever that i can't stand hearing is "i can't eat without you". you damn right you can't eat without me because you can't cook.go and buy yourself a cookbook or get you some cooking lessons so you can survive on your own instead of living foot to mouth, asshole.

And you have PC elitists who will think they are a better gamer because they're not playing on an "inferior" system. Both people who play on consoles and on PC who are complete dicks or condescending to on or the other. Neither are better than the other.
I understand why developers and publishers make games the way they do. My point still stands that it is not a fair generalization as much as it isn't fair to say PC gamers are bitter basement dwellers.Developers aren't making games based on one person's specific conditions. They're making them for broad casual mass appeal. One size fits all. And that 'size' is "transient gamer who averages <2 weeks in a title, 90% of the time doesn't finish it, doesn't play for balance/competition, doesn't want to think too much, just wants to sit down in the living room and pew pew."

I think for a great deal of people who come here, JUB is their only refuge from the 'straight world' where they can bare their soul, take off their masks, and socialize with like-minded people about being gay. Admitting that sort of thing can be very hard for a lot of people, and I think it's kind of expected that everyone in the 'room' appear to be just as vulnerable.
Sloppy has been outed as having not portrayed this persona in the past, and he hasn't ever offered anything substantially personal about himself (at least that anyone else can translate). People don't like being played or taken advantage of, as evident in the Andrerus thread.
If you walked into a gay bar and there was a guy sitting there with a paper bag/mask over his head I would bet you'd steer clear of him too. If he's not hurting anyone, WHAT is he doing? Collecting evidence? Who knows. It's just creepy.
Just saw geloge's photo!
He's HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just got an offer on PlentyOfFish to be one of a married man's "bottombois". Sorry, I have a little too much respect for myself to get involved with your impending clusterfuck of drama and be treated like a sex toy. I don't care how big your cock is.![]()
All the fucking time, and I LIVE with my mother! She over-elaborates on everything too, and I'm like "Pleeease!!!!!!!! Just give me the cliffnotes. I don't need the long version."
She talks WAY too damn much, especially during movies (and not just normal, short comments...she goes into these LONG conversational acecdotes that always make me miss the good parts) or when I have my headphones/iPod on (it's like "BITCH, DO YOU NOT SEE THESE BIG ASS HEADPHONES ON ME? I obviously can't hear you, and I'm pre-occupied, so why do you keep talking to me? Can't you tell how impatient I look when I keep taking my headphones off and on to answer you? SHUT THE FUCK UP!"![]()
).
I don't talk to her like that, but those are my inner thoughts when she does that stuff.
EDIT:
Oh...oops.What thread is it in now?
