  1. I'm rewatching Durarara!! as a refresher for the upcoming season 2. Can't wait for it.
  2. I still remember that cruel prank they made with a sequel. Bloody cruel bastards. I 100% agree with you. I don't really get seriously depressed or cry, but I feel for the characters. Just like any book, movie, anime or other such show I watch. As for reading Katawa Shoujo...read it! Its free, fairly short, and gives you all the feels.
  3. My most emotional VN so far is most likely Katawa Shoujo. The present circumstances of some of the characters I can relate with rather well, while others I have no personal experience with but can empathise greatly with their circumstances. I love it so much I have replayed all routes several times. Especially Hanako, as to some extent I have faced the fear of socialisation in my past, and while I don't relate to her exact circumstances, I can relate to her general position quite well. It was also the my gateway VN, so I guess I might have some bias towards its impact.
  4. Well I've started playing Terraria...I wonder how long it will take me to get bored of it...
  5. Welcome to fuwa. Here, have a dinosaur. I guess I'll add another recommendation on Katawa Shoujo. I quite enjoyed it and it is a nice, easy VN to read.
  6. Humans who aren't your acceptable view as humans are considered worthless. That is possibly the worst kind of narrow thinking I have heard. Why is your life so purposeful? Why are you worth so much? Because you grew up on the achievements of others and at a time and standing that some don't? Hell to the no. I admit we are a dominant species in the world. I admit technology have made us into animals who have a significant edge over every other animal. I admit that with the choice I probably would save a human over an animal. But I have never perceived animal life or someone of less intelligence as worthless. You seem to attach this silly stigma of some sort of wrong in animal life in comparison to human life. Instinct is animalistic...instinct is human; humans are bloody animals. We live to live. Meaning is important for humans because our brains are as weak as they are strong. It is merely another necessity in our struggle to live.
  7. I noticed that you have said 'you' in the sense that I wrote the article. To clarify, this was someone else's work that I found and found interesting. As for your question, I have not watched the movies. I'll be sure to give them a look soon though.
  8. He essentially just talks about the security of our technology and the rate in which it is growing, which he summaries the security to be beyond terrible. He refers to various hacking methods used in Watch Dogs and compares them to the possibilities, and allegedly, real life instances where similar events have happened. In one instance he explains wireless pacemakers and how easy it is for hackers to interfere and possibly kill those who use them, providing demonstrations in which an actual person was able to hack a pacemaker to send volts through it. He also references self replicating viruses and more specially a program named agent.btz, in which took the American government 14(?) months to eliminate it. In regards to your dislike to his channel, I personally enjoy it. I do, however, not indicate his opinions as fact, but rather an interesting theory in which I either agree or disagree with. But to each his own I suppose.

    Hey

    Welcome to fuwa. By raid call do you mean a voice or text chat group? We do have a teamspeak and skype group that we use. For the skype just add me, (my skype info is on my profile) and I'll add you to the group. For the teamspeak, I can't exactly recall the information for it. I'm sure someone else will know.
  10. Well I value technology that much. Without certain drugs, in which I still need to this very day, I would be either blind, deaf or dead. There is a certain condition I have had in the past that would have basically mutilated my eyeballs, along with my asthma which has left me to the point of near death. As much as I find some technological advances distasteful, I do find the statement, "We should all go live in the woods" quite over the top. No amount of natural non-technologically augmented drugs would have saved me from these situations.
  11. Will technology blast forward int he future? Yes. Will people take advantage of this to cause chaos through hacking? Yes. Can we really do much to stop it? In my opinion, no. Technology will blast forward regardless of how dangerous it is, but like others have said: pros > cons. Technology warfare is merely another way in which humans will create more mayhem, but technology itself is also another way in which we can create great things. However I do personally believe that technology needs to slow down to a degree, we churn out more pointless things than we need, but this may just be part of the human condition so my belief is a moot point.
  12. Perhaps my absolution of 'never should be joked on' was too extreme. I understand the need for black humour in certain situations and it being a viable and, depending on the person, effective use of relieving stress, tension, and other effects from dark situations. I do it myself. However I believe there a certain mediums people should not use for controversial dark humour, particularly the use of the public, or more specifically the internet. It is too public and not suitable for such controversial 'jokes' for the very reason it is being discussed right now: being get offended. Perhaps my wording of my opinion did not convey my entire opinion on the matter of joking on suffering, but my outrage are to that of people who joke lightly on these matters and are not involved in the crisis. The picture itself is not my main focus of rage, but rather the response to it, particularly from 4chan. Because they are not making stress-reducing jokes, they are not in involved in the horror that comes with disease. They are just showing a shocking lack of empathy for those who are involved. I may not be personally involved with Ebola, but I sure as hell am not so cold hearted to be so cruel for no reason other than out of pure malice. Tl;dr: It is the idiocy of the response from 4chan and their ilk that angers me, not the picture they responded to. Also I am curious as to why you find Katawa Shoujo so offensive, if you don't mind me asking.
  13. Like others have stated it is a joke in poor taste. Jokes are acceptable within a relative time difference and seriousness of an event. Widespread suffering, and current events such as the Ebola crisis should never be joked on. It is a terrifying and extremely painful disease that is running rampant and I hope to god is doesn't evolve to be airborne, which is a discussion I had with various people recently. While I may make distasteful jokes on occasion without thinking of what I'm saying, creating images like this requires more than just a fleeting thought. I would also think that things like Ebola, Cancer, Malaria and AIDS, would be an obvious taboo when making jokes, but my faith in some people's ability to think seems to be too high. To be frank, this makes me ridiculously angry and disgusted.
