"Git gud" is a term that needs to be stamped out of existence.

This is admittedly 95% my complaint about harder AI. I don't mind harder AI at all, but I don't particularly like time sinks unless I get something out of it, even if I'm having fun doing it. I don't like it in life, certainly not in a video game.

You're incorrect about Sonic 2's cheat codes. It was a convoluted mess of dealing with an irritating hexadecimal system in the sound test and required you to have some knowledge of in-jokes. Sonic 1's cheat code was a variant of the Konami code, though. At least it wasn't like Sonic 3's ridiculous "short window" code entry that I never managed to actually do.

Nope, we're both right I just didn't elaborate, that other one in the sound test is a different code that allowed you to change into anything in the game and duplicate it (including coins) and there was a 3rd that let you turn into SuperSonic once you made 50 coins and jumped. I used to turn into a coin and duplicate until i had enough to play the whole level as supersonic. ..... oh the memories. LoL.

Level Select
At the title screen, hold A then press Up, Down, Left, Right. When you hear the chime, press Start.
If that doesn't work, try this: at the title screen, press Up, Down, Left, Right, hold A, and press Start. After doing this once, you only need to hold Start + A to enter the level select.

This thread is brilliant.

The guy made a thread about something, and then got verbally ruined for 3 pages of what the thread was about in the first place.

He then said he regretted making the thread. Ha ha.

I am sure there is a moral in there somewhere.....
 
Ah, I see, instead of taking the time honing one's skill, one comes to the forum and complain for entitlement while shooting down "get good" arguments for not putting time in helping other players.

See irony?

I see irony, especially considering close to no one's asking people for help to get better, but instead just wanting everything to be nerfed to "I win" button.

So true...

They also can't be bothered to read the thread a couple down which has an almost identical whine
 
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Did someone just order a case of:

Oh your poor fii-fiis.

People can say whatever the they like, that's the nature of the online landscape. If I'm better than you at the game, I have every right to tell you to 'git gud' because I kicked your ass.

This comes into play with pvp, trading and exploration when I decide to do it. Granted, I'm nicer than most and will offer advice and paths to do so, I've written a couple extensive guides concerning trade routes for people who aren't as fortunate as to discover them by accident like I did, but that doesn't change the fact that my message is the same as the message of the guy who blew your ship to hell as you were exiting a letterbox then taunted you in the chat telling you to 'git gud'.

And finally; saying players should be isolated and removed from the crowd is not only going to make the game less competitive, but it'll also take away a major goal for players- that being so that they can get good at the game, and surpass the people so they can tell them to 'git gud' and look good to the people around them because they *drumroll* GOT GOOD.

And the whole toxic thing really isn't true. I've found that once you start ignoring all the idiots that tell you to kill yourself, or you learn to laugh at their shoddy insults the community is not only less toxic, but you can actually make a lot of really, really good friends in the community.
And complaining on the forums about the community being toxic is what I'd call a self-fulfilling prophecy; you're going to draw the crappy people out of the woodwork just so they can prove you right, while the intelligent people will either act as I have or flat out ignore you.

Evidently.
 
There are lots of terms that need to be stamped out of existence.

It seems to me that you have been triggered by the PvP community.

I am sorry you feel this way, but if you took the time to actually get to know any of the major PvP groups you would find that they are actually all really great and mature people.

Your last line of your post had me rolling around on the office floor, much to the amusement of work Colleagues................................. Your where joking of course????



You were, right??????? Joking??????



Pray tell me you were???????
 
Are we seriously using "triggered" like that now?

Good lord. That should be the real offense right there.
The creative use of everyday language is one of those mechanism that adolescents use to distinguish themselves from the establishment of their parents.
Now in the absence of any real world problems that are worth rebelling against, since war, disease, famine, corruption and weird politics have been extinguished, they need to rebel against teh interweb.

Maybe my concern about the adolescation of the english language is unwarranted, but being the 4th language I picked up, I do care for it's purity and find it worrying that my written and spoken mastery of it surpasses that of native speakers.

tldr; rofl

:D

Well, you may be more adept at using the language than the average working-class individual, but I can assure you that many of us a quite eloquent in how we express knowledge and information.

We just happen to become utter idiots when the discussion concerns our hobbies and we have the shield of anonymity.

I honestly can't tell if you are being serious or not with that bolded part. Damn this slide phone's small screen.

Ah, now I did spend quite some time in the working class etablissements of Newcastle during my studies, fraternizing with the locals and honing my "colloquial english" (that book stuff won't get you anywhere).
Politetely declining a challenge to an armwrestle with a guy who could have ripped out my limbs without breaking a sweat did not get me mockery and ridicule, just some hearty laughter and a round of drinks I had to buy. (true story .. ze best :D )

I came to the conclusion that clear superiority speaks for itself.

I honestly can't tell if you are being serious or not with that bolded part.

Well, colloquially it's called "first world problems".
It's as serious as the samsung vs. apple hatethreads.

Well, most teenagers don't sincerely understand or care about the issues you bolded. To take the example in your signature; oppression in the west has been annihilated. People my age have no real issues to rally against, and so, we either make things up to give ourselves false purpose, do something better with our remaining 60 or so years, or waste their time on entertainment mediums, like our species has done since the printing press gave us our first chance to placate ourselves with fictional worlds.

And besides, how many people do you know that are willing to go to Saudi or South Sudan just to help other people, and risk their lives in the process?
99% chance your answer is either a lie, your own opinion or 0.
 
Do I think the phrasing is immature and generally useless to any discussion?...Yes

Do I think a thread condemning its use is ultimately futile?...Yes

Well, that is a bit much to ask. But if you are better at computergames than others, you can just drop the ego for a second and offer them sincere help to improve.
If the NPCs in 2.1 will be as tough to deal with as everyone is afraid of, I'll go and collect some mid-high profit "0 interdiction" traderoutes that you can fly with a T7, without having to worry. Thanks to the mechanics of the game they do exist and I doubt they'll change the underlying mechanics of the game that much to affect them.
 
I haven't read the whole thread... but I'm a casual gamer and ED really isn't hard once you know what's going on, even in Engineers.

The trick is to understand the game.

For PvP: Give me three wing men (or women) who know the game, a strategy and some basic combat ships, and I'll happily fight anyone.

I think ED is pretty good for leveling the field between casuals and the hardcore.

Having English being the third language I picked up, I think innovative use of language isn't exclusive to adolescents considering we were graced by William Shakespeare after all.
