Off Topic / Re: WHO recognizes gaming as a disorder

« on: December 29, 2017, 10:11:33 PM »

Posting short auto-generated anecdotes doesn't mean anything if you don't actually read the article you're citing.

The WHO is classifying a "Gaming Disorder", not a disease.

While the increase is associated with clear benefits to users, for example in real-time information exchange, health problems as a result of excessive use have also been documented. In a number of countries, the problem has become a significant public health concern.

The concerns are over the non-physical addiction to gaming, much like addiction to gambling, leading to people neglecting their own health.

hooray for the world health organization

whenever someone tells me gender dysphoria isn't a mental illness and they cite WHO I'll just point them to this

I know you're a reactionary idiot and interacting with you is almost always a poor idea, but is neglecting your own personal health to continue to obsessively play videogames something that shouldn't be considered a behavioral disorder? With the widespread popularity of virtual entertainment, why shouldn't there be a study into the behavioral science behind gaming?

Of course this was probably just an attempt to shoehorn a discussion about gender dysphoria and derail the thread into something you want to talk about.

General Discussion / PSA: Unchecking "Disable VSync" fixes the Win10 mouse glitch

« on: December 29, 2017, 06:55:28 PM »

https://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=315200.0

Lord knows how many people are affected by this stuffty glitch, but ever since the fall creators update a certain amount of people began having issues with the mouse randomly moving, extremely high sensitivity or just strange behavior in general. Turns out that it had to do with framerate and turning on VSync seems to fix it.

Me and a few other people spent a couple days trying to figure out a fix and this should fix it.

Me and Car Selling Pyro just figured out a potential solution - Turning on vsync (Unchecking the "Disable Vsync" box) makes my mouse stop freaking out.

Again, you don't know me. If you think how I act here is an actual representation of how I act anywhere else online, then you're taking it too seriously. Stop taking this in circles.

If this is what you're going to bank on, then this is what's going to keep holding you back. If you can't realize this, you're just going to keep fighting an uphill battle here.

And taking what seriously? I'm not going to bend over backwards to help you change, I'm saying it's your problem and your problem alone. You're just more keen on throwing up long winded diatribes about why what you post doesn't represent you somehow instead of taking responsibility.

why did you choose to try to turn it on me?

Your previous argument was useless. It's not like it was going to get anything done. So here I am changing the subject to something that can get something done.

A "You" problem is one I can solve by myself, but I need your help to solve it too, and that's IF I change it, you need to change your stance on me.

I don't like you. I don't actively hate anyone, it's just that you don't have any likable traits. If that changes, so does my opinion. I'm not exaggerating that every single interaction I've had with you has been unpleasant, and this wasn't on my terms. I'm fairly easy to get along with.

I recognize that I should change, but saying that I should piss of and find some stuffty hugbox is basically saying "I refuse to do anything but attack you personally and refuse to look at it from both angles".

Reread my post. I said if you don't like the fact that you have to change yourself in order to be liked, there's plenty of hugboxes around to substitute social interaction with if you don't want to take the responsibility of being a better person online onto yourself.

I knew you were going to try to turn this on me. This is your go-to defense mechanism when you have nothing else to say.

If you're pissed off because one guy doesn't like your attitude or personality, fair enough. Nobody likes your attitude or personality. It's your responsibility to fix it, not our responsibility to bear with it. Don't like that? Then piss off and find some stuffty hugbox on the internet that will take you in.

Day one you've been at odds with pretty much everyone on the forum. This is what's known as a "You" problem. I went through the same exact stuff when I first came around here but I guess I got over it. When are you getting over it?

if some interactions on a forum where some of the most popular users are trolls is enough to sway your opinion, i'm interested in how seriously you take everything else.

It wasn't just "Some interactions on a forum", it's a range from you starting rumors about me in public discords, stuff-talking me behind my back and then now you're on some weird infatuation with stuffting on my friend group. Some other people may go so far as to say you have some kinda problem with me.

My life isn't going to end if some rando was too dumb to listen to harsh advice, this place would just be a little more pleasant if you cleaned up your act.

You don't know me on steam, non-blockland discords, in real life or anywhere else for that matter.

I never want to get to know you. I've had enough unpleasant interactions to know that you're not that great of a person. Your continued behavior on the forum haven't really changed my perception.

If you don't care about my view, then go right ahead and do literally nothing to change yourself. It's not like I have to deal with you beyond basic interaction on the forum.

You're not involved in the argument, but personality on the forum is different from actually personality outside

And from what I've seen, both your forum personality and your outside personality suck. You should try to change that if you want results.

Ever thought that maybe people don't like you because your personality is bad? The problem lies inward, champ.

If fallout 5 isn't a free form new Vegas style story then fallout is probably dead.

Bethesda's probably going to stick to their formula from here on out. The only reason NV was so good is because the devs were super experienced with RPG design and writing.
