Sorry, didn't get a chance to comment on this as I was knee deep in Fallout 4/FFX. Now, I can't say much about the "Kingdom Hearts" related content in the video, you seem pretty well informed (more than me, which is why I see no issues with it). So as far as that goes, that was pretty solid. The one thing that really stuck out is how well spoken you are. I feel this is incredibly important if you are going to do anything YouTube related and you seem to have that pinned down quite well. The only issues I found was that the editing (specifically speaking the transitions between audio cuts) was a bit choppy. It sounds like you cut yourself off a few times and it was a bit jarring. This, of course is me just nitpicking because in the thread you asked for advice on how you can make it better. Normally this isn't too bad of an issues. Just try to space things out just a tad. The actual audio quality itself was fine, and I honestly didn't see very many issues with this at all. Great work, I hope to see more of this.
I'm done.
The whole "do onto others as you would have them do onto you" is a great tool for teaching 8 year olds in Sunday school....However, ask any religious person that actually has some mental capacity (and this is coming from someone who is actually brain damaged) that "golden rule" falls apart very easily. This is the way I see it. Am I going to treat people with respect and kindness by default? Yes for the most part I am going to TRY (key word TRY, I am not perfect, nor is anyone else) to do that. Nothing really comes from fighting fire with fire, unless you are just frustrated with the person and feel like taking your emotions out on them. Then, by treating them like your personal punching bag, you get something very useful out of it. However, this isn't exactly the nicest thing to do. I am not saying you are a terrible person by being angry at those who are ridiculous with their religions. I am however saying that there is a much less stressful way to handle stuff like that. If you need to vent, that is fine. However spitting fire for the sake of spitting fire is just needless conflict. But hey, if you like that sort of thing, more power to you I guess (just keep that shit away from me lol). I disagree. You may personally find that offensive, but the way I see it, someone who doesn't believe in god being prayed for is a harmless gesture. If you believe in god - cool someone is praying for you. yay If you don't - cool, they care enough to dedicate their time DURING something they care deeply about Don't get me wrong. If someone says "I'll pray for you because you don't believe what I believe, therefore you are wrong/evil". That is dumb, that is just flat out dumb. However, someone just praying for you because they are concerned (perhaps someone you love is in the hospital, or you just got fired, or you have some big test), then that at least shows that they care enough to be concerned for you. If someone gets in your face and outright disrespects you, then by all means be offended/do whatever makes you feel better. I am not the kind of christian who is against flu shots, certain types of music, insert whatever ridiculous made up rule here. Hell (see what I did there, I swore, break out da holy water) I don't pay attention to a lot of rules and even left my church because the adults who participated in that particular church were awful people. I just try to be a good person/good example of what a caring/nice person should be. To me that is more than what these "devout Christians" at the church I attended do. To give you a personal example, tl;dr my mom broke her back twice and had to get a spinal fusion (twice, might not wanna look it up, its not pretty). So she is pretty much is doomed to be in pain forever, and it will most likely never be fixed. So every Sunday people would ask her how she is. Me being the person I am, I tended to pay close attention to how they reacted. Turns out they were very disappointing whenever she was FEELING WELL, because they thought there was no reason to pray for her if she wasn't in pain. That is unbelievably ****ed up and any christian who falls under that category of "crazy" in my eyes, doesn't deserve your respect. Just try to keep in mind that there are less crazy religious people out there. Hope some of that made sense / sorry for the rambling
There are good and bad people in any group. Religion, belief, whatever you want to call it. The fact that we feel the need to separate and group people together is rather annoying. I don't care if you are a christian, atheist, or believe in the great flying spaghetti monster. As long as you aren't an *******, you are fine with me. I don't really think shoving one's religion down someone else's throat by leaving a fake tip suggesting they go to church or something is appropriate, however I also don't think that insensitive bullshit should be matched by other insensitive bullshit. More often than not when you see discussion of extreme cases of religion "sharing" it ends up being a circle jerk of "I don't like how people do x." I believe there are good and bad people in any group, which is all the more reason not to group them up in the first place. /rant by a religious guy who swears but also likes it when people just get along
Unless you have a ridiculous amount of people begging you to play the console/you feel like you need to play the console exclusives, I wouldn't do it. I have one and barely use it. Halo 5 was nice, but it isn't enough to justify the console.
Not many people want a fair system, they want the one that benefits them (all the while they label it as equal).
Perhaps its the fairly "not wealthy" area that I live in, but I have been exposed to a lot of hate in regards to those who are wealthy. I wasn't specifically saying you were doing that sort of hate, I was more or less just thinking out loud. Sorry if it seemed like I was putting words in your mouth.
But that is him and not the money. I try to be a nice guy and I am far from poor, so does the money effect my values as a person in a negative way? Again I am not defending him, however when people "hate" others a little bit more because they have money, that is just petty as all hell.
I feel like there is a really awkward stigma surrounding those who happen to be wealthy. Not all wealthy people are like that, and if that is the case, saying "rich people do x" is just a pointless stereotype. The one thing about people who happen to stay wealthy, is they generally do what keeps them wealthy. With that in mind, suing somebody who is ridiculously less wealthy than him would prove to have no rhyme or reason. Especially if it has no personal "fuel" behind it. Don't get me wrong, I don't want Donald Trump to be elected (to any position) and I am aware that he isn't exactly a Saint, but talking **** on the guy and painting him as the Devil seems to be just a way to hate the rich corrupt guy. Why hate him at all, that's a ton of effort being put into something that does literally nothing for you. I am using the word "you" loosely, as I am not saying you are specifically doing this. However, I see this stuff all the time.
Suing somebody without a fairly significant amount of money (subjectively) isn't good business.
This kind of technology has been around for ages, if anything Microsoft is just being more transparent about it being there. My reasoning for not upgrading is because I find no reason to. Windows 7 is ridiculously stable, and that is something that is essential to me. I am sure 10 is fine, or even 8.1, but I see no point in upgrading.
I am not saying that stricter gun control won't help (I am also not saying that it will help either, for all we know nothing could change). However, to ignore the fact that there is a different side to the coin isn't helping anyone. Notice how most of us if we wanted to could easily get access to a firearm. Sure you would have to go around getting a license to it, and maybe you would have to move to a different location that is less strict with firearms and such, but if you wanted to get it, you could. Does that make you a murderer? No. So why is the to answer to the question "why do people do this?"...guns? If someone is so mentally unstable that they feel the only way they can go on is by taking someone's life, taking away their "legal access to guns" won't really do much. Sure if we make the process of getting one legally, that might slow the person down. Isn't murder already illegal though, so what is a law going to do? They already broke one. If we lived in a society where owning a firearm was illegal, I am pretty sure murder would be worse (in terms of criminal charges) than illegally owning something. Like I said, I think we need to look at these situations and think why are these PEOPLE doing these terrible things. Not "how can we slow them down". Slowing them down is important (and if better gun control saves lives, then do it. Effing do it.), but that only really applies to those who acknowledge the law as something that should be followed. Clearly a murderer doesn't fall under that category.
Dear Lord

Well they "technically" can't tell you what to do, but back when I was in school (the only thing my high school did correctly was the arts, and they did that spectacularly). Anyways, I was a part of the pit orchestra for the musicals/plays (sometimes). So I was good friends with a lot of the people who were in them. From what I gathered, when it was around the time for the show, if the director told you to do something, you listened. Granted both the old director for the band and the old choir/musical director were both fired by the time I graduated. It's just not uncommon for people in charge in the arts to be overly forceful. An example is I had to play in all four musical performances (four of them in three days) with mono.
Kudos for all the work you have done throughout the years, and thank you for helping create the community we've all grown to love. Good luck in whatever you do in life, I am sure it will work out. Especially since you are easily one of the most committed people on here. My apologies for all of my BS over the years, thanks again for everything.
