Bitchiness Thread

[Arxryl]

I, above everything else....****ing hate Arxryls Avatar. No Offence, but it looks like an Angry penis with rabies.

Above everything else? Well, that seems a little extreme.
Although... after looking at it that way... Well then, I guess I'll just have to change it then. [/fighting urge to shout]

[Strike Witch]

Noobs, I can put up with. Christian whackos, I can put up with.....But everytime I log on I see that thing I freak.

[Arxryl]

Alright. I was gettin' bored anyways, so I'll try and fix myself a better non-dick lookin' one.
And if it doesn't seem to work out, you could always gouge your eyes out to refrain from seeing it!

[snuzi]

I don't understand what the big deal is. If an avatar annoys you that much, Ghost, then something is definitely wrong

That's what I thought, but then I told myself that this is indeed a bitching thread, therefore it is okay to bitch about whatever you feel like bitching about.

But I'm not changing it again until I find a really cool one. (cool being my opinion... not anyone else's.)

Something that just recently ticked me off was the stupid file sizes thing. Not the limit on the forums, but the limit on my computer. If I were to make the image size fairly small, under the 8 thing limit, then it looks all crappy and I have to go in and edit it further to remove some of the crap. and it still doesn't look that way I want it to darn it...

EDIT: when I say won't change it, I mean I'll change it until I find a good one and then I'll stick with it...)

[Facsimile]

I hate the way the human race keeps reproducing.
What. Is. The. ****ing. Point?!

[Jordan]

If we didn't reproduce we'd be extinct, and reproduction is FUN!

[Bullet Magnet]

I hate the way the human race keeps reproducing.

Yes, annoying, isn't it?

[Jordan]

Not you too, Bullet Magnet? Why don't you like reproduction?
Reproduction would be useless if we had eternal life, but... We don't

[Bullet Magnet]

I was being sarcastic. Sarcasm is so funny, ain't it?

[Jordan]

I knew you were being sarcastic, I forgot to mention it!

[Arxryl]

I hate when people make fun of something you like because it is dorky or somewhat nerdy.

[snuzi]

As do I. People need to learn to shut up. Just because they don't like something you do, doesn't give them the right to ridicule you about it.

[Rex Tirano]

There was a girl at my school who was obsessed with some book she would go to the computer room during lunchtime and copy/paste fanfics about her heroes....she was REALLY sad.

Man, that is pathetic. Why won't people just create their own original stories instead of ripping off someone else's? I just don't understand it.

Yeah, totally not hypocritical.

- Rexy

[snuzi]

How so exactly? Did I ridicule the person? I don't think so.

[Rex Tirano]

You said she was pathetic for doing what she obviously enjoys doing. I'd call that ridicule.

Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean that it's bad.

- Rexy

[snuzi]

I didn't say she was pathetic. I said that what she was doing was pathetic. And what I meant by pathetic was that I pitied the fact that she had to cling to fan fictions because she was so obsessed with that book. I was not insulting this person in any way, shape, or form, nor did I think what she was doing was bad. I merely thought that it was unhealthy.

[Arxryl]

I understand where you are coming form Snuzi, but I also understand what Rex is trying to say.
Rex means that if they wish to do something they enjoy, something that isn't causing harm to others in the process, then they have a right to do so and it may be viewed as pathetic, but it really isn't. Her going and copying the stories she enjoys is the exact same thing as me obsessing with my avatars and signatures.
I see where you are coming from as well though. You see her doing this and it seems so obsessive and un-needed to you. It seems like she lives in that world she so adores and nothing else seems to matter.
But, the reason she may be obsessing aobut this thing is her own reason, but the truth is that they are probably obsessive themselves, just like I am...(woah. over-usage of the word obsessive in one paragraph...)
Well, I'm sure I didn't help with that debate at all but I just wanted to post my thoughts. [/thoughtsharing and ranting]


Something that ticks me off is narrow-minded people. (not relating to the above argument at all...) When they think their way is the end-all-be-all and everyone needs to think like them. Yeah... like some teachers and some class-mates.

[Slaveless]

So, are we sad that we make RPG forums and Fan Corners in OWF because we feel like that the ideas of Oddworld are interesting to us, that we feel as if we can stretch our imagination to make characters that relate to that world?

[Arxryl]

I'm not sure I'd say sad, but definitely longing, or sometimes bored...(oh yes, just sometimes...)

Actually, you did help with that debate. You got my point across, and you understood what i was trying to say in the first place. Thanks, Arxryl

The only thing that annoys me is that I have to be overly-specific on here, like some person with OCD. I suppose that I should choose my words even more carefully, to better argue my point.

So, are we sad that we make RPG forums and Fan Corners in OWF because we feel like that the ideas of Oddworld are interesting to us, that we feel as if we can stretch our imagination to make characters that relate to that world?

Not at all. I enjoy the artwork and works of literature in the Fan Corner very much. As long as your behavior doesn't become obsessive, it's fine, in my opinion. Once it crosses that line, then it's sad.

[Statikk HDM]

You know what I hate? When its really cold out, just cold enough for you and every other guy to nip but just a little too cold so all the ladies wear really thick shirts and jackets and you don't see them nip. That's a B, right there, I tell you what.

[Rex Tirano]

Haha Snuzi I understood your point [once you explained it] I was just pointing out what I saw as hypocritical behaviour.

That's pretty interesting [I'm very close to making a new thread because this is very offtopic ^_^;;], so even if you bitch about Fanfiction.net not having any "inspiration" or "originality", you could say the same thing about the OWF FC because people use the OW story?

- Rexy

[Hobo]

My bitch:

Fan Corner and RPG are pointless wastes of time.

And i'm allowed to say that, i used to mod one of them

[Patrick Vykkers]

If we didn't reproduce we'd be extinct.

So what's the catch of not reproducing? You listed one of the benefits.

[snuzi]

Haha Snuzi I understood your point [once you explained it] I was just pointing out what I saw as hypocritical behaviour.

I'm glad ya did. I just wanted to clear up that I was not being hypocritical .

Sactly why I made this thread. I was hoping it would lead to a surge of new productive topics.

On the Fanfic note, I don't mind deritive work as long as it's good. Wicked for example was an amazing book and was based almost entirely on L. Frank Baums' original work. Of course, I can see a fine line between fanfiction and derivative work. Fanfiction seems like the writer's happy candy made when they're over-excited about another work where as derivative work
is simply derivative work. None of the unrealistic or childish gaga bullshit you find in fanfiction.

[Arxryl]

Something that ticks m off is when someone has no thoughts about personal space. they walk up to you, inches from your face (or centimeters, depending where you're from) and wonder why you get upset when they are breathing on you...

[snuzi]

Goddamn it, that bothers the crap out of me! I don't understand why people feel that they must stay uncomfortably close to me all the time. It really annoys the hell out of me. I also hate it when people touch me, escpecially people I do not know. It angers me.

[Mutual Friend]

Corruption of power.

For instance, if a thread was closed, only to be re-opened for another moderator who wanted to get in the last word.

And homophobia! Hah. Sneak that one in. Was reading another forum (I read it, no posting) about films and one thread had the most ridiculous American nonsense (you know its American when they start mentioning 'freedom'). Unfathomable and wholly ridiculous.
