OPEN BAR: Top 10 things millenials hate about OB that we didn't know last week!

[Chelagoras The Boulder]

god, the douche chills are all but palpable.

[Chelagoras The Boulder]

Also sorry to hear about your dog Nigel.

[Doktor Howl]

Looks like my dog might die after all. I'm at about $2500 in vet bills.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Thanks guys. She's in the ICU right now, racking up the bills. Holding steady. Steady is OK, but it's one of those things where the longer she goes without turning the corner, the lower her odds of turning it at all. Her odds are still pretty high right now though. I'm hoping for good news in the morning.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

This dog of mine has gotten me through some very tough times. I am hoping that I can do the same for her.

Back to the douchecanoe topic, I read this article and the observation Cain made about The Red Pill is so spot-on: http://www.doctornerdlove.com/2014/09/the-red-pill/

If the kid isn't into that scene, he seems to be doing a perfect job of replicating the philosophy on his own steam.

Yeah, I don't think it's like a 100% fit, but there are a lot of uncomfortable parallels there.

In other news, I'll start streaming in like, 50 minutes or so.  Maybe.

I'll see if my interbutts are up to snuff.

I enjoyed your other Skyrim stream the other day (I watched the recorded version). Was the muted section at the start due to you playing non-game music or something?

I have never had the savvy/time to properly get into Skyrim modding so it's an interesting watch.

Do you already have a youtube channel set up or is this a project in progress?

I am at work at the moment so won't be able to watch live unfortunately.

Awesome.

Thanks!

No, that was strange though.  I mean, I was at the title sequence, but it's entirely possible that is not copyrighted to Bethesda and so set off the automatic detection system, much like Youtube's.

I do, but I'm terrible at uploading stuff to it.  I'm going to try and do that more over the summer, while I don't have any real Uni work to bother me.

OK, I'm literally just waiting on an update to install on my laptop (which I use to read the chat) and then I'll get going.

Speaking of which, I'm thinking of starting out with some Mass Effect randomizer adventures (randomly chosen kits/weapons), but I might do some more Skyrim after.  Perhaps Perkus Maximus, instead of SkyRe.  Not decided yet. 

Edit: to chat, you will need a Twitch account.  And I'm streaming now.

Is the link upthread, or in the gamer subforum?

[Cain]

Edited above post to include it.

DemoSquid beat me to the "fetishization of logic" bit.

"I hold other people's feelings and thoughts in contempt, therefore I am rational. Because I believe in Borg Logic."

"I am a rational person, therefore my thoughts, decisions, and conclusions are rational."

Contempt, disdain, and self-superiority are all emotions. So is the desire to show them all how much you don't care that they think you're a scumbag. FP's motivation is to "win" by beating "the bad guys" (here personified by the girlfriend's parents) by being smarter than them. The girlfriend is not relevant except as a battlefield.

He can be the hero if he "saves" her. If she didn't need to be saved she'd be about as valuable to him as a corn chip. She's the challenge by which he will prove himself, even if only to himself.

And he's annoyed that a victim of long-term emotional and physical abuse (if that's to be believed) isn't making it easier for him to enact his masterful plan. Because, of course, abused people living in unstable, potentially dangerous conditions are well-known for their calm, detached demeanor. The battlefield is not cooperating with his battle plan, and he's mad at her in the same way you'd be mad at a rock you stubbed your toe on. She's in the way.

But of course, this is all just "feedback" or "baseless speculation" depending on how much this annoys him. If he was really interested in feedback on his battle plan, he'd take the actual advice being given. Advice which I don't think he's figured out yet, because he thinks it's just insults.

Pretty cool, Cain. Thanks!
