The Letting Off Steam Thread - Page 157

It just isn't as satifying as breaking something and then loathing yourself for a while, good idea though.

Fuck TvP late game. So broken.

Seeing the negative in everything is often a symptom of depression. Not saying that's his reason but it's something I deal with and have to really try hard to not do so I'm just saying maybe there's a reason. Don't be too harsh.

All in one sitting. Obviously, (or perhaps not) I've exaggerated a bit while letting off steam. In the Letting Off Steam Thread. Maybe it's bad when you let off steam in the designated thread in spoilers, and then someone goes "Quit ya bitchin'!", but not before complaining about balance in SC2, because Lord knows that issue really hasn't been address nearly enough.

But getting mad because you're winning? That's just weird.




Well, like a good friend of mine once said "show respect to others or fuck off. its that simple" and I'm conflicted on whether or not to crush his soul in my hand, or just feel bad for him for being born with mental disabilities.

You doing just fine!

On a similar note. Fuck do I hate myself. I'm pathetic and I don't think I'llimprove anytime soon. I don't think I even want to get better anymore, I love to hate myself. I often wish I could just give up on everything, living is such a pain in the ass.

So, yo, I decided to help out some people from DRTL. Big deal, right? My stance isn't "I'm so good that I'm gonna show you how to play". I do have a particular coaching style where I prefer people to play on practice maps, because there's no pressure to "win" there. Why did I decide to do it? Not to boost my ego. Not to power trip. Not to show anyone how good I am. I just love playing StarCraft and wanted to share my experience with some of the people so they could side-step some of the severe learning curve difficulties. The team is actually doing quite well, but that's all them. I don't actually have to play the games, just make suggestions and talk about stuff.

Well, I found out why RedAxis doesn't like AtomicArchon recently. The dude's a jerk. Saying stuff like "Be respectful or fuck off"; that's fucking stupid, you don't do that. SnowFantasy made a joke about "trading" AA, and I said "Let's trade Arcania for some peace and quiet." So AA flipped a desk and was like

AA: Hi, Can you exxplain your outburst please in DeSPA chat? (3:14 p.m.)

Me: Any talk of trading you from our team is unacceptable to me. (4:01 p.m.)

He replied the next day

AA: But yet you can make blanket remarks about my nonsense
Show respect in chat, To everyone. (8:00 a.m.)

so an hour later, I come over to my computer, see the comment, smile and type

Me: No.

AA: then leave it
There's no time for assholes
you have no reason to be a bitch
leave despa chat

*removes me from skype*

Later...

"show respect to others or fuck off. its that simple"

~ AtomicArchon


I'm putting this fucking quote on my tombstone. It's just that good. The reason I had to explain all this is for "Aveng3r", who was forced against his will to read my posts in this thread. I noted that his level of hypocrisy was roughly equivalent to AA's, and that I was considering "crushing AA's soul" without naming AA, but now my hand has been forced, leading me to believe that there is a second Kira this is part of a Garena plot. They've been too quiet for too long.

Now, since Aveng3r thought my post was ALL ABOUT HIM, he's under the impression that I threatened to crush his soul, to which he replied "You don't have the means to crush my soul", which is a strange thing to say, but gives me a few possibilities:

1. He thinks there are metaphysical bodies known as souls which can be crushed theoretically, but that I personally lack the means to execute such an undertaking.
2. He's really insecure about having his soul crushed.
3. He is 100% certain that I lack soul-crushing capabilities, but I cannot confirm nor deny that I have or am developing such a capability.

So, long story short: I have a weird sense of humor and that sometimes rubs people the wrong way. However, when I was born, I was abandoned in the woods and raised by wolfs. The wolfs taught me the values of family, teamwork, and how to catch and kill animals for eating. They also taught me to be tough and if someone bites you, bite them back harder. Eventually, I was rescued and returned to the human world, but I still struggle my old mentality, which is constantly with me. So if I feel attacked, I go into wolf-mode. This becomes especially difficult to grapple with when there is a full moon and a clear sky. Now, rather than just going berserk and biting into people's necks, I deflect their verbal attacks with humor. Actually, I use humor for everything: when I'm happy, when I'm mad, when I'm depressed, when I'm scared, when I'm eating, etc., so when I go to "let off steam", I try to do it in the absolute most ridiculous way possible, which is funny to me. For example:

Problem: I notice that some people just let their dogs bark. The dogs just bark and bark and bark.

No big deal, right? But maybe one night, I'll be like:

"People who own pets need to have a higher IQ than a brick, just to start with. Then they need to be able to teach their pets not to destroy human life. After that, they can start working their way onto more menial shit, like teaching their dogs not to bark all fucking night long at nothing because the owners have decided in their sick fantasy world that the whole goddamn fucking neighborhood needs to hear the majestic sound of their canine companion screaming wildly at the void of nothingness. But oh, I guess that's too much trouble to make an effort and actually do something about it, especially at night when you need to sleep. I just hope your dog doesn't set your house on fire, and you go 'OH MAN THATZ NOT GOOD BUT I NEED MY BEWTY SLEEP' because the dog could easily break into your garage using its massive and powerful canine teeth and knock over a canister of red phosphorus, and then you're fucked, you stupid faggots. Did you ever consider that? DID YOU?"

But in reality I'll be like:

"Hm, that dog is barking again. That's a bit annoying."


So, as you can see, there is a bit of hyperbole going on here. And not only is it good for me in a therapy-type of way, but it's kind of fun, and funny. So the more shit I can think of to talk about, the better, right? I mean, I'm not going to sit here and say that it's okay to bitch about everything in the universe, but I don't. I'm not making fun of anyone else' problems, I'm just going through life in the way that I do. That being said, nobody is forced to read this, and honestly, I really didn't think anyone would unless I posted it on skype or twitter or something. Lo and behold, I was mistaken, and some people did read, and enjoyed reading it, and I was like "Wow!" because now I turned something negative into something positive, not only for myself, but for other people. That's a really cool feeling.

So uses their letting-off-steam specifically to diss me, I guess that's fine if I dissed you first and said something like "Man, that dude Aveng3r is a total moron, lul", but I never said anything close to that, because I don't think he's a moron, or a bad person, just he pulled some bullshit by addressing me for no goddamn reason. Well, maybe there's a reason:



So he's mad because he's winning games. Okay. That's usually reserved for people who lose a lot of games, but to each his own, right? RIGHT? But as it turns out, he's not a Protoss player who just becomes enraged at the sight of victory. No, he's a Terran player, who is bitching about Protoss. How do I know this? I decided to click on his posts and fiiiind out! Here's what we learned:

+ Show Spoiler [Terran advice much] +


















Also, lots of back-seat moderating, and posting in that abomination that is the automatic ban thread. So he's an angry Terran player from SC2 who decided to play Protoss just to see how angry it would make him, then became angry, then took his anger out on me. I guess it's because "PvT" is "imbalanced for Protoss". If this is true AND it makes you angry on a personal level, then you are in a futile battle because you're angry because the game isn't designed the way you want it to be.

I tune into streams for SC2 even now and then, and guess what? I see Terrans beating Protoss, which means it is possible to do if you reach deep down into your heart and try. Furthermore, aren't the top two players TaeJa and Innovation? I guess what I'm really trying to say is: Shut the fuck up. Or quit playing the game. Or switch to Protoss or Zerg. Or you know what else might help? Getting better at TvP. Oh, oh, wait, is the late game TOO IMBALANCED cuz of HT / colossus / whatever? Fucking cheese. Cheese like you live in Wisconsin. Or do something creative instead of "playing standard and doing a macro game" like floating three command centers into their base and turning them into planetary fortresses. I don't give a fuck. I guess being Terran was more fun back in these days: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/starcraft-2/141732-zerg-tears

But before you spaz out and go "Oh, so you're an angry zerg player?" I should point out that I don't play SC2. I play StarCraft. Just StarCraft. And people cry about imbalance in StarCraft 1 as well.
